Layout & How the Space Can Be Used
Private Fenced Backyard – The star of the property. Spacious, fully enclosed, and lush with tropical plants. Ideal for outdoor yoga sessions, meditation circles, kids’ birthday parties, pet-friendly meetups, casual BBQs, or simply relaxing under the shade. Plenty of room for small groups to spread out.
Covered Carport & Outdoor Seating Areas – Great for shaded lounging, casual conversations, or setting up a small outdoor dining/coffee station.
Cozy 3-Bedroom, 2-Bathroom Interior – Clean, comfortable, and full of character with original 1950s details throughout. The living area works well for intimate workshops, meetings, or as a comfortable lounge/breakout space. Smart TVs with streaming access (Amazon Prime, Peacock) are available for presentations or entertainment.
Functional Kitchen – Small but fully stocked with everything needed for light catering, coffee/tea service, or meal prep.
The flexible layout allows you to use the indoor and outdoor areas together or separately, making it easy to adapt for different group sizes and activities.

Location Highlights
Tucked in a safe, quiet, no-thru-traffic neighborhood that feels worlds away from the city but is incredibly central:
- 5-minute walk to neighborhood parks, playgrounds, tennis/basketball courts, and nature preserve trails
- Minutes from yacht marinas and river access
- Short drive to Fort Lauderdale beaches, downtown, Brightline station, Port Everglades, Hard Rock Casino, and both Miami and Fort Lauderdale airports
This is a personal residence set up for occasional private use, so it has a warm, lived-in feel rather than a sterile event space. The kitchen and bathrooms retain their original 1950s charm.
Note about peacocks: During mating season (March–June), male peacocks can get territorial with their reflections. We recommend parking darker/glossy vehicles toward the front of the carport or using our provided car cover.
Come enjoy authentic South Florida charm in a peaceful, green setting that feels like a private tropical retreat right in the heart of Fort Lauderdale.
