Because - what's not to love about this elegantly appointed, fully updated apartment with the best views in Broward? Boasting custom cabinetry in the kitchen and two full baths, travertine tiles laid on a diagonal, 1940 square feet and a 40 foot balcony with unobstructed views south, this is a must-see for anyone looking for an apartment in a top-tier building in Fort Lauderdale.

No detail has been forgotten: the present owners stripped the apartment down to the studs and rebuilt the interior from the bottom up. All new electrics, a built-in home entertainment system with in-wall speakers and volume controls throughout. The stove hood vents to the exterior, as does the in-unit washer and dryer. All windows are hurricane-proof and also have shutters for maximum storm protection on the 16th floor.

When you arrive at your showing, you must see the year-round heated pool, the fully equipped gym, the deeded covered parking on the lobby level, the communal barbecue and refrigerator for gatherings of family and friends. The residents maintain a library for the building, and there's a large meeting room that can also be used for indoor private functions. With a concierge staffing the front desk 24 hours a day and onsite security and management, you can be sure you'll get the luxury treatment you deserve.

In short, this apartment gives you everything you expect and more from a Las Olas Boulevard address - except the high price.

Common knowledge it is that East Las Olas Boulevard is one of the most prestigious addresses in South Florida, and for good reason. Take a slow drive, a long walk, a jog or a quick bike ride round the Fort Lauderdale Isles to see for yourself: multimillion dollar homes with yachts costing as much or more moored quayside beside them. Grand estates nestled among ancient live oaks lining narrow streets with Spanish moss dripping from above like so much tropical garland from the sky.

Here, then, in your new flat, imagine your 16th-floor views of Idlewyld, the Riveria Isles, the Las Olas Isles, and cruise ships setting sail for destinations near and far. Imagine, as well, your leisurely stroll and back to the downtown nightlife of Las Olas, or ambling along Brickell Drive for a warm winter sit-down in Colee Hammock Park.

Equidistant, of course, is the beach - eastward - with all it has to offer for residents and tourists alike: a different sort of nightlife and a different sort of daylife, with so many things to choose from that it might be hard to decide.
