Price: $12.495 million<\/p>\n
In a premier area of Fort Lauderdale, a tropical glass palace with 122 feet of frontage on the yacht-friendly New River has hit the market for $12.495 million.<\/p>\n
\u201cI absolutely love this house,\u201d said listing agent Chad Carroll, of the Chad Carroll Group at Compass. \u201cIt\u2019s very different for Fort Lauderdale. It\u2019s got a tropical feel to it. You\u2019ve got curved glass walls combined with a tropically landscaped courtyard.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cEverything is built to immerse you in the outdoor environment through the windows,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

In Fort Lauderdale, \u201ca typical lot is 0.3 acres\u2014this one is 0.52 acres.\u201d<\/p>\n The two-story home on North Rio Vista Boulevard was custom built for the sellers in 2014, Carroll said.<\/p>\n It\u2019s \u201cdefinitely unique for the Fort Lauderdale marketplace,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s more like something you\u2019d see in Miami. It\u2019s a very, very cool house\u2014we\u2019ve had tons of action on it.\u201d<\/p>\n Indeed, Carroll put the unusual home into contract shortly after speaking with Mansion Global and a sale is now pending.<\/p>\n The front door, which is three times the height of a normal door, opens to a hallway that leads to an office, he said. The kitchen, living and dining rooms are to the left, and the four bedrooms are upstairs.<\/p>\n The home has particularly good outdoor spaces, including a pool that\u2019s right by the waterfront, a landscaped courtyard and a large lawn area, Carroll said. \u201cIt has a spectacular seating area that\u2019s covered.\u201d<\/p>\n Stats\u00a0<\/p>\n The 6,823-square-foot home has four bedrooms, four full bathrooms and one partial bathroom. It sits on a 0.52-acre lot.<\/p>\n From Mansion Global Boutique:\u00a0Deck the Halls (And Other Rooms, Too): Home Decor Gifts They\u2019ll Love<\/a><\/p>\n Amenities \u2028\u2028<\/p>\n Amenities include 122 feet of New River frontage with a private dock and a dedicated cutout for a 38-foot vessel, a pool, a summer kitchen with a built-in grill, landscaped grounds and gardens, an elevator, a home office, a two-car garage, and both covered and open outdoor spaces for dining and lounging.<\/p>\n Neighborhood Notes \u2028\u2028<\/p>\n The home is in the Rio Vista neighborhood, \u201cone of the most premier locations to live in the Fort Lauderdale area,\u201d Carroll said. \u201cIt has a very residential feel, with gorgeous trees.\u201d<\/p>\n This street is directly on the river, with all of the yachts going back and forth, he said.
