A Las Olas Isles home with a New River backdrop is perfect for entertaining.

Stepping into the Las Olas Isles home, you might be overwhelmed by the incredible views of the New River—a result of the soaring two-story ceiling with expansive glass walls in the living area. But before even entering the house, you’ll be greeted by the koi fish in the large pond.

This modern masterpiece features six bedrooms, seven full baths, two half baths, three levels, an elevator, a cigar room, two primary suites, a fitness center, den, three-car garage and more, all within 6,464 square feet of living space.

The waterfront home was newly constructed in 2021. Its open floor plan concept with abundant windows allows natural light to seep into all corners of the home.

Owner Maurkice Pouncey, a former Pittsburgh Steelers star, has enjoyed living in the residence. “Living here is beyond amazing; it has been my best investment,” he says. “I love having my boat at my doorstep for quick access to the Intracoastal while at the same time having a spacious house with the perfect layout for entertaining friends and family.”

The home was designed for such entertaining. For example, a beautiful bar setup at the entrance immediately sets the tone for any gathering. A few steps away you’ll find the dining room, where guests can enjoy a meal while taking in the stunning views and choosing their wine of the night from the adjacent air-conditioned wine wall.

After dining, you can take the party to the cigar room right off the outdoor patio, which doubles as an outdoor living space when you open the pocket doors. Speaking of outdoor entertaining, the fully equipped summer kitchen features a built-in grill and refrigerator perfect for meals between dips in the pool. The pool features a beach entrance and an attached spa. With water frontage of 100 feet, you’ll have amazing New River views and direct access to the ocean.

When you’re ready to hit the water, the new dock with custom lighting will suit you well when hopping in and out of the 2019 Midnight Express (that can potentially be included with the home).

The custom kitchen features an island, Wolf appliances, dual sinks, lots of storage and, of course, views of the New River.

On the second floor, you’ll find a spacious primary suite, a junior primary suite and two more rooms. The primary suite has a chenille feature on the wall behind the bed that separates the room from the master bath. The lavish bath features a combination tub and shower and dual sinks. This room and terrace have some of the most breathtaking views in the home.

The third level includes the fitness center, sauna and office, which could easily be converted into an in-laws’ quarters as it features a kitchen and full bathroom. “An awesome feature that I use daily is the gym and sauna on the third floor and rooftop,” says Pouncey. “The views are the biggest.” The outdoor terrace, which has green turf for added comfort, offers arguably the best views.
