Luxury Waterfront Opportunity in Prestigious Rio Vista Isles | Ocean-Access Canal | Expansive Roof Deck | Paid-Off Solar | Endless Potential Welcome to a rare opportunity to own a spacious waterfront residence in the heart of Fort Lauderdale's coveted Rio Vista Isles. Offering over 3,000 square feet of living space on an ocean-access canal, this home combines an exceptional location, extensive recent improvements, and the opportunity to personalize the remaining finishes into a true luxury showpiece. Inside, the home has already undergone several major upgrades. The kitchen has been completely remodeled with an entirely new design, creating a modern centerpiece for entertaining and everyday living. Upstairs, one of the original bedrooms has been transformed into a professional-grade fitness room complete with a private sauna, providing an impressive wellness space rarely found in residential homes. The flexible floor plan also includes a dedicated law office on the main level, ideal for professionals working from home or anyone seeking additional office or flex space. Outdoor living is equally impressive. A large rooftop deck with wood flooring provides an incredible setting for entertaining, relaxing, or enjoying South Florida's beautiful weather while overlooking the surrounding waterfront neighborhood. The property also features fully paid-off solar panels—a significant investment valued at approximately $60,000-$70,000—providing long-term energy savings without the burden of an existing solar loan or lease. A whole-home generator adds another level of convenience and peace of mind. The home presents an outstanding value-add opportunity for buyers looking to customize finishes without taking on a full renovation. The major improvements have already been completed, while the remaining work is largely cosmetic. Wood flooring would benefit from refinishing, portions of the upstairs flooring are ready for replacement due to normal wear, and the downstairs bathrooms offer the opportunity for modernization while remaining fully functional. A previous water intrusion caused during an exterior utility excavation has been professionally addressed and corrected, with the underlying issue fully resolved. Situated in one of Fort Lauderdale's most desirable waterfront communities, the property offers convenient access to Las Olas Boulevard, downtown Fort Lauderdale, Fort Lauderdale Beach, fine dining, shopping, marinas, yacht clubs, and Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport. The surrounding neighborhood is known for its luxury homes, boating lifestyle, and strong long-term appreciation. Whether you're searching for an exceptional primary residence, luxury second home, or a property with immediate equity upside, 1343 Ponce De Leon Drive presents a rare opportunity to complete the finishing touches on an already extensively improved waterfront home in one of South Florida's premier neighborhoods."
