Las Olas Blvd is famous for its high-end boutique outlets and multiple Isle offshoots - Hendricks And Venice Isles, Seven Isles, Las Olas Isles, and others - underlining Fort Lauderdale's reputation as the "Venice of America" with 300 miles of luxury waterfront real estate. So, traveling down this thoroughfare never excludes spotting massive ocean-worthy vessels, sometimes overshadowing the residences alongside them. It leaves no doubt that the acreage left and right belongs to boating lifestyle homeowners.

Finally, on the south side of the road, where Las Olas Blvd crosses the Intracoastal waterway, are homes for sale in Idlewyld. They emerge from an intimate Fort Lauderdale Beach enclave of mostly single-family homes measuring 3,000 to 20,000+ square feet under air (UA) - with vintages starting in the 1930s and extending for the following ninety years (plus). As a result, new construction and significant renovations define ongoing activity in coveted Idlewyld. Therefore, ultra-modern & contemporary styling (three to multiple-bedroom accommodation) meets Old Florida’s Coastal Mediterranean architecture in a diverse landscape.

Notably, the eastern side of the Idlewyld neighborhood (embracing a string of single family homes) delivers unobstructed open water vistas and 100' boat docks across Idlewyld Drive fronting the structures. Conversely, westernmost residences on campus nestle on a deep-water canal (shared with neighboring Riviera Isles) embracing similar yacht slips - except the latter are backyard-located. 

Sellers of waterfront luxury homes for sale on the MLS in this gated enclave have painstakingly preserved historic features like wrought iron railings, ornate fireplaces, and solid hardwood polished floors. Simultaneously, many have integrated the latter with modern marble, stone, granite, and metal materials to upgrade kitchens to gourmet-class with Woolf and Sub-Zero appliances, create open-plan living spaces, spa bathrooms, and cutting-edge technologies throughout. Replaced roofs, high-impact windows & doors, and new air-con systems are commonplace with Idlewyld luxury homes for sale, as are private pools and summer kitchens.
