Overlooking Cliff Lake Nature Preserve, 1318 SE 12th Way offers a rare combination of tranquility, privacy, and timeless Florida charm. Located in the desirable Lauderdale Harbors neighborhood, this beautifully updated Florida Ranch home features two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a versatile bonus room, and 1,457 square feet of living space.
Built in 1953, the single-story residence pairs a relaxed, inviting interior with peaceful natural views and a private backyard designed for year-round outdoor living. The result is a home that feels quietly removed from the city while remaining close to many of Fort Lauderdale’s most popular destinations.
Peaceful Views of Cliff Lake Nature Preserve
The home’s setting is one of its most distinctive features. Situated directly across from Cliff Lake Nature Preserve, the property enjoys tranquil natural views from the front of the home and a sense of openness that is increasingly difficult to find in Fort Lauderdale.
Mature tropical landscaping complements the peaceful surroundings and creates a welcoming first impression. Whether enjoying a quiet morning outdoors or returning home at the end of the day, the preserve provides a scenic backdrop that enhances the home’s relaxed character.
Comfortable Single-Story Living
Inside, light-filled living spaces create a warm and comfortable atmosphere. The thoughtfully updated floor plan includes two spacious bedrooms and two full bathrooms, offering an approachable layout for everyday living.
A versatile bonus room provides additional flexibility and can easily adapt to the needs of its next owner. It may serve as a home office, fitness room, den, creative studio, or additional space for guests.
The home’s single-story design also supports an easy connection between the interior living areas and the private outdoor spaces.
A Private Backyard Retreat
Behind the home, a secluded tropical setting provides a peaceful place to relax, entertain, and enjoy South Florida’s year-round sunshine. The private backyard features a swimming pool, spacious patio, putting green, and mature landscaping.
The patio offers ample room for outdoor seating, dining, and gatherings with family and friends. Meanwhile, the pool creates an inviting focal point for warm afternoons, and the putting green adds a playful element to the outdoor experience.
Together, these features create a private backyard oasis that feels comfortable, relaxed, and distinctly Old Florida.
