Poised on the Middle River, on the southern shore of the peninsula of the prestigious Sunrise Intracoastal community, this brand-new estate is at one with its sensational waterfront setting where wide-open views sweep over the river and all the way to downtown Fort Lauderdale and the beach skyline. Refined coastal style takes a chic modern twist in this six-bedroom residence hallmarked by the uncompromising standards of award-winning Affiniti Architects and luxury builder Sarkela Corporation (Seppala Corporation). The gorgeous water views are the focus of the equally stunning indoor and outdoor living spaces.

With the sleek accents of a linear fireplace and glass-encased wine vault, the dramatic loft-like great room creates an indoor/outdoor feel with a soaring glass wall across the waterfront terrace, where the pool is artfully composed with an overflow spa and stepping stones across the sun shelf framed by waterfalls that cascade from vessel fountains. Designed as a true outdoor living room, the poolside lanai has its own open-air fireplace as an alluring night-time element in this resort-like realm.

Upstairs, in a sprawling wing, the luxe master retreat with two spa-like baths opens to a waterfront balcony where the towering view seems captured from the prow of a yacht. Separate first-floor guest/captain's quarters have outside access leading to the terrace and dockage for the yachter's 80±-foot luxury vessel. Offering the ultimate Fort Lauderdale lifestyle in Sunrise Intracoastal, near The Galleria and Birch Park's idyllic ocean beachfront, this rare new Middle River estate is the perfect find for those who seek the best of the best.
