Contemporary Waterfront Home in Lighthouse Point near Ft. Lauderdale

“The Glass House”

Friday, July 16, 2010, I attended the Grand Opening of “The Glass House,” a Contemporary, Luxury Home located in Lighthouse Point, FL, just North of Ft. Lauderdale.

“The Glass House” is quite appropriate because the House features Floor-to-Ceiling Windows and Sliding Doors that extend over 100′ across the entire back of the Home.

This Home has the distinct advantage of being one of the few Single Family Homes in the Broward County area that’s of Contemporary Architectural design. In a recent Blog post, I discussed how Single Family Homes of Contemporary Architecture are rare in our area. Additionally, it’s also a Green Home that’s in the process of receiving LEED Certification, another rarity.

A few of the details and features include:

Offered for sale for $2,495,000
4.3 KW Solar Panel system that generates Electricity for up to 50% of the Home
Eco-friendly materials used where possible
100′ of Waterfront, 90′ Dock and Deck with Water and Electric
4 Bedrooms and 4 full Baths
3,831 Square Feet of Living area and 4,870 total Square Feet
3-Car Garage
20′ Ceiling in the Foyer and Living Room
Limestone Tiles in the Living areas
Bamboo Wood Floors in the Bedrooms
Walk-in Closets in all Bedrooms
Gourmet Kitchen with Italian Cabinetry, Gas Cooktop, Quartz Countertops, and more
Spacious Master Suite
100′ x 100′ Lot
42′ x 12′ Lap Pool

The layout of the Floor Plan is very open, with a spacious “feel” and lots of Light.

Location

Located in the Hillsboro Isles Community in Lighthouse Point, the location is perfect for Boaters and offers Ocean access WITHOUT FIXED BRIDGES, less than 10 minutes to the Hillsboro Inlet to the Ocean (see Google Earth screenshot above). The Community of Hillsboro Isles was established in the 1950’s and the Street where the Home is located is one where almost all of the original Homes have been replaced with Homes of newer Construction, with great values in the current market.
