Rare east-of-A1A opportunity in coveted Lauderdale Beach, just one block to the sand on a quiet residential street east of the Intracoastal. This 4-bedroom, 4.5-bath home offers 3,424 SF and great bones, and is ready for a cosmetic refresh to unlock its full value. Bring your vision: with some TLC and updated finishes, this is a chance to create a standout beach house in one of Fort Lauderdale's most sought-after pockets.The layout is all here. A dramatic double-height foyer opens to an oversized great room, and the kitchen with gas range anchors the dining and family areas, flowing to a covered lanai and a generous backyard with room for a pool. A first-floor guest suite with full bath and a second downstairs kitchen offer built-in in-law, rental, or entertaining flexibility. Upstairs, the primary suite features a private covered balcony with ocean breezes, a walk-in closet, and a spa bath, joined by a junior suite with its own balcony and a fourth en-suite bedroom.Natural gas, abundant storage, and a walk-to-beach location minutes from Birch State Park, the water taxi, shopping, and dining. Whether you're an investor looking for a value-add play or a buyer who wants to make it your own, homes like this rarely come to market east of A1A at this entry point.
