Property details

We rescued this truly unique home from years of abandonment a few years ago. We brought it down to the studs and replaced all plumbing, electrical, removed the ceiling and installed all new drywall. The result was a completely new space, with cathedral ceilings, a gorgeous iron beam at the ridge, and an ultra wide window replacing the typical kitchen backsplash, which gives an unparalleled view to the stunning back yard. It's a contemporary space, with a large kitchen, two comfortable bedrooms. The Space It has the most amazing back yard you'll see in most homes with heated salt water pool! The property also has an Apple TV with 50 channels. It has a fast WiFi, and a SONOS sound system and speakers throughout the house, and in the patio. The backyard is truly an amazing, private space for relaxing. There is a BBQ grill, a recently resurfaced heated, salt pool, and a water fountain in the covered patio area. All furnished with beautifully rustic pieces from Indonesia. ✨ High cathedral ceilings & wide windows that flood the space with light 🍳 A modern, well-equipped kitchen — perfect for cooking and entertaining 🛏 2 cozy bedrooms + 1 bath, comfortably hosting up to 4 guests 📶 Fast Wi-Fi & Apple TV with SONOS sound system — ideal for streaming, relaxing, or working remotely 🌿 A bright interior with thoughtful design details and quality finishes throughout 🌞 Outdoor Paradise — Your Private Backyard Retreat Say goodbye to shared pools and noisy resorts — your own tropical backyard oasis awaits: 💦 Heated saltwater swimming pool — relax and cool off anytime 🔥 Covered patio with fountain & outdoor seating — the ultimate chill zone 🍖 BBQ grill — fire up a feast under the Florida sun 🌴 Lush gardens and privacy — great for sunbathing or enjoying happy hour poolside A typical day here may look like this: Wake up, brew a delicious cup of coffee and take in the lovely view of the expansive back yard from the kitchen. You can also visit one of the most quaint little breakfast spots in Fort Lauderdale called Egg & U Diner.. Right in the same small shopping center, there's a consignment store called Decades. Here you can find the next treasured home decor item. They have anything from Restoration Hardware furniture all the way to a unique bauble discovered at a thrift store. All in great shape and ready to occupy that perfect spot in your home. If some beach time is in order, you're very close to Fort Lauderdale Beach, which is between Oakland Park Blvd (Northern point), and Las Olas Blvd (Southern point). The closer to Oakland Park you get the quieter and more peaceful it is. If you want a little more activity, people and volleyball, head towards Las Olas! You're welcome to use the beach chairs and towels that are at the property. All along A1A, the road bordering the beach, there's plenty of parking and many bars and restaurants for you to enjoy. After you've relaxed, you may want to head over to Wilton Manors, the super fun LGBTQ district in Fort Lauderdale. You can eat at Tulio's Tacos, (try the Smokey Pineapple Margarita, you'll thank me!), and any of their tacos are delicious. Here you'll see locals and tourists mingle as they walk from gastropub to gastropub all along the Wilton Drive strip. There's plenty of places to enjoy a great dinner such as Union Kitchen and Bar (also in Wilton Manors), try their Japanese Old Fashion, it'll change your life. Also, if you like pasta, mushrooms and you love truffle, try their Porcini Campanelle, heaven on a plate! If good Peruvian is your thing, Bravo is a great option. They began with gourmet sandwiches, which are a must, and then expanded their menu to full offering of delicious Peruvian dishes. Their Ceviche de Corvina is perhaps the best one, or the Lomo Saltado if you're in the mood for steak. Portions are good sized. When you're ready to turn in, enjoy the large rain shower head, and amazing water pressure of our shower. The beds are meant to provide restorative sleep. The sheets are brand-new Soft Cloud Percale luxury linen for a heavenly sleep experience every time. We can't wait to host you!

What a wonderful stay we had! The most surprising thing of all were the peacocks that wondered around the neighborhood! So delightful 🦚 The pool was heated - which was a great decision and money worth spent at $45 a day. Just do it if you like beautiful warming water instead of ice cold!!! The fountains in the pool are a very nice touch. Great yard. The house was amazing! Beds were so comfortable. The kitchen was incredible! The place was very cozy and well taken care of. So glad we found this sanctuary after such a crappy year!
