The Big Easy Meets the FTL

  • March 1, 2019
  • Gisel Abrahams
New Orleans-style design coupled with Florida’s best amenity is what makes this unique estate desirable.

New Orleans has some of the United States’ most unique styles and architecture with its vibrant colors, elaborate design detail, balconies galore and more. This home on Rio Vista’s Ponce de Leon Drive takes that charm and elevates it with top amenities and views to drool over.

The “American Townhouse Style” adopted by the estate is apparent through the iron rail balconies that are reminiscent of the French Quarter. Inside, the staircase features an intricately detailed railing that mimics this theme. Also familiar to fans of New Orleans style are the asymmetrical windows throughout.

The 6,764-square-foot property features five bedrooms and seven-and-a-half baths. Notable amenities include an elevator, wine cellar, music room, high-tech electronics room with surround sound, two fireplaces and in-law quarters.

Stepping out for fresh air, you’re quickly reminded of Fort Lauderdale’s best trait: water, water and more water. Located on a rare deep lot on Rio Vista’s Ponce de Leon Isle, the property’s water frontage is about 143 feet. The vast outdoor entertaining area features a 30-foot pool, fountains, built-in grill, movie screen, fiber optics and misters.
