Modern Oceanfront Estate
Fort Lauderdale, Florida
Embodying the art of modern oceanfront living, this serene abode relishes the splendor of the sea in the prized Lauderdale Beach enclave.
A fabulous stretch of Fort Lauderdale beachfront has inspired a rare modern gem devoted to the pure pleasure of living on the ocean. Boldly refined with clean lines and sculptural forms, this serenely elegant abode melds the indoors and outside through floor-to-ceiling window walls, balancing the openness with a remarkable sense of intimacy.
Stylish ease carries throughout the living space, capturing unparalleled ocean views from the dramatic site elevated well above the beach. Great care has been taken in designing the floor-plan which offers the privacy of two ground-level bedrooms, a main-level office/bedroom, and an ultra-luxurious master suite comprising the entire upper floor, with all levels served by an elevator.
Outdoors, right above the dunes, the sleek pool, lounge areas, and nautically inspired pool house create a secluded resort-style realm basking in sublime oceanfront beauty and cooling breezes. This rare property is one of only 49 direct oceanfront estates in a coveted enclave known as “The Malibu of Fort Lauderdale”. Additionally available, the adjoining oceanfront estate is currently the site of a traditional Florida bungalow which could serve as a wonderful guest house. The purchase of both residences would expand the oceanfront to 100± feet and create a prime one-of-a-kind beachfront compound.
Location
North Atlantic Boulevard, Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Lauderdale Beach offers a quietly private setting, away from the high-rise condominiums, yet only minutes from downtown Fort Lauderdale and famous Las Olas Boulevard’s fine shopping and dining.
Property
Directly fronting the ocean, this alluring modernist masterwork presides over lush dunes above a wide carpet of golden sands. Swaying palm trees stand among the idyllic garden landscape. Custom built in 2001, the residence is as practical as it is visually stunning, with an elevated placement, solid concrete construction, and impact-glass windows and exterior doors. Perfect for hosting alfresco parties, the resort-like outdoor living spaces are styled in elegant modernism with subtle nautical motifs. Sweeping oceanfront terraces on all levels overlook the custom-designed lap pool surrounded by a lounge area of groomed lawns. The separate pool house provides the convenience of a summer kitchen and full cabana bath.
Residence
Wide-open vistas of the Atlantic Ocean unfold throughout this artfully designed residence totaling 4,382± square under air feet in a light, spacious floor-plan offering four bedrooms, five full and one half bath, and an oversized two-bay garage with workshop. All three levels are served by an elevator and a dramatic spiral staircase. All windows and exterior doors are fitted with impact glass.
Main Level: Placed on the second floor to elevate the sweeping ocean vistas, the main living areas are arranged in a spacious open layout conducive to today’s relaxed lifestyle. Glassed with floor-to-ceiling window walls, the stunning double-height living area is appointed with marble flooring and flows to a wraparound terrace overlooking the pool to the oceanfront. Glass-block accent walls add natural light and visual interest to the open dining area and another space perfect for a piano alcove. Continuing the effortless open flow, the sleek-lined chef’s kitchen is separated by a bar counter and features custom cabinetry, granite counters, professional-grade stainless steel appliances, and a butler’s pantry. A powder room serves this level. There is also a private bedroom suite which doubles as an office, complete with custom built-ins.
Upper Level: This entire floor is devoted to the privacy and luxury of the serene master suite, capitalizing on the ocean views in a spacious loft-like open design. Flowing to oceanfront balconies, the master bedroom is accompanied by a spa-style bath with steam shower and two private separate water closets. Two wardrobe rooms are both custom fitted with extensive built-ins, one with a stacked washer and dryer.
Ground Level: Spanned by a wall of sliding glass doors, the oceanfront family room opens to the patio and pool area. Two bedrooms are served by en-suite baths, one also accessible from the hallway. Accompanied by a spa-style bath with jetted tub, one bedroom overlooks the ocean, and the other opens to its own private patio. A laundry room completes this level.
