In a serene enclave near the beach, this distinctive deepwater estate features light-filled living areas opening to the lovely patio and scenic views to the Intracoastal.

Location

Fort Royal Isle, Fort Lauderdale, Florida. One of Fort Lauderdale’s most popular residential neighborhoods east of the Intracoastal, Bermuda Riviera creates a quietly private sanctuary with carefully kept tree-lined streets, a guardhouse entry, and convenient access to the Atlantic Ocean beachfront. This boater’s paradise combines excellent deepwater yacht dockage with direct ocean access unobstructed by fixed bridges. The ideal location is within easy reach of fine shopping and dining in both Fort Lauderdale and the charming community of Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, just to the north. Bermuda Riviera is situated only about 20-minute drive from Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport.

Property

Capturing scenic views to the Intracoastal Waterway, this beautiful deepwater estate resides only two properties from the point on a quiet cul-de-sac, just a short stroll from access to the ocean beachfront. Island-inspired architecture is refined with modern style in this well-constructed residence, filled with an abundance of natural light and lovely views over the waterfront and manicured tropical landscape. Banks of large windows and glass doors span the waterfront exposure, opening to the loggia and balcony by the sparkling pool on a spacious entertainment patio. Here, lush foliage creates a secluded ambiance without obstructing the water views. The shoreline is equipped with a full-length yacht dock. The estate is served by a sweeping drive with parking area by the two-bay garage.
