We've loved this blog from Julie Jones at Premier Estate Properties in Fort Lauderdale, Florida:

Tropical Lifestyles: Fun, Rare and Unique Architecture on Fort Lauderdale Beach. The ultimate in oceanside living.

Take a look at the amazing entertaining pavilion on the property of 2924 North Atlantic Boulevard. This is the only beach entertainment pavilion on Fort Lauderdale Beach and under the Coastal Construction building regulations such a structure would not be permitted today!

The entertainment pavilion features an entire summer kitchen with electronic shutters which open to beautiful Atlantic ocean views. Imagine entertaining family and friends with a BBQ and serving drinks at your ocean side bar. There is even a little mosaic table in the same styling ready for al fresco dining. A professional chef’s grill and fridge complete the summer kitchen. There is also a full bathroom, outdoor shower and storage incorporated.

The colorful mosaic tiles create an art deco style and are so cheerful that you feel as though you are constantly on vacation as you enjoy the ocean breezes and the sound of the waves on the beach.

Fort Lauderdale Beach is the Malibu of Fort Lauderdale. With only 48 residences directly on the sand this enclave is private and hidden away but within close proximity to all of the beach action, Las Olas and downtown Fort Lauderdale. Enjoy easy access to international and private airports with approximate drive time to Miami of 30 minutes.

This residence at 2924 North Atlantic Boulevard is an amazing offering – priced for $4,695,000 it is actually below replacement value. The land alone is worth in excess of $2.5 million and the price to build a replacement residence of solid concrete construction would be in excess of $500 per square foot. Only top quality materials are used for coastal construction. Plus planning and permitting for Fort Lauderdale Beach is a very lengthy process taking almost two years.

2924 North Atlantic Boulevard is perfect for luxury ocean front living. Expansive balconies compliment the modern design, there are two bedrooms and a media room on the beach level, the kitchen, bedroom suite/office and living room together with an open gourmet kitchen grace the main level with the master and private balcony on the third floor. Built in 2001 by a top Fort Lauderdale builder the residence is built to the latest standards and includes impact glass.

With this property you can close in a week and escape the winter!
