312 SW 12th Avenue, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33312

About this home

Discover a rare opportunity in historic Sailboat Bend featuring two distinct residences offering the privacy and independence of separate homes! The front 3-bedroom, 2-bath residence features a welcoming layout and spacious fenced patio perfect for entertaining. Privately tucked away in the rear, the beautifully renovated 2-bedroom, 1-bath cottage offers its own entrance, dedicated laundry room and expansive fenced yard, creating a true standalone-home experience. Each residence enjoys its own outdoor space and private parking, offering exceptional versatility for multigenerational living, owner occupancy or income-producing potential. Ideally located minutes from Las Olas Boulevard, Downtown Fort Lauderdale, Riverwalk and Brightline. A unique blend of charm, privacy and investment! This configuration creates possibilities far beyond a conventional duplex. An owner can occupy one residence while using the other for visitors, extended living arrangements, a private workspace, seasonal accommodations or potential rental income, subject to regulations and approvals. Investors gain two distinct living environments without sacrificing the privacy that often disappears in traditional multifamily layouts. Because access, parking and outdoor areas are independently arranged, daily life in either residence can feel separate. The property's outdoor spaces further distinguish the experience. The front patio creates a welcoming setting for morning coffee, open-air dining and gatherings, while the large rear yard provides room to relax, garden, play or enjoy time with pets. Fencing around both areas adds definition and allows each household to use its exterior space independently. This combination of private interiors and dedicated outdoor areas gives the property the character of a residential compound rather than a standard two-unit arrangement. The location adds another layer of convenience. Historic Sailboat Bend is known for its tree-lined streets, eclectic architecture and established neighborhood atmosphere, all remarkably close to Fort Lauderdale's urban core. The Broward Center for the Performing Arts, restaurants, coffee shops, nightlife and everyday conveniences are nearby, with major roadways and Fort Lauderdale Beach within easy reach. Whether heading to a show, dining along Las Olas, walking the Riverwalk or catching a Brightline train, residents can enjoy quick access to many of the city's most popular destinations. This is a compelling option for buyers who want a primary home with a genuinely separate guest residence, those seeking space for a hybrid work-and-live arrangement, or investors looking for adaptable residential income potential. It also allows future owners to change how the property functions as their needs evolve—without compromising privacy between the two residences. Few properties combine this degree of separation, outdoor space, central location and versatility while retaining the warmth and character of a neighborhood setting. The result is a rare Sailboat Bend opportunity offering the freedom to live in one residence, use both, or enjoy the entire property as one private urban retreat.

Before You Make an Offer

How buying a home in South Florida works

Your Buyer May Already Be Working With BreakThru Realty

Buyers come to BreakThru Realty searching for homes like this one, and many have shared their exact requirements with us: the neighborhood, the price, the bedrooms, the pool, the timing. If you own a home nearby and are weighing a sale, a broker can check it against those requirements before you list, and if no buyer on file fits, show you how we would reach the rest of the market.

BreakThru Realty works with hundreds of prequalified buyers searching for properties. Before you list, a broker reviews what you own, the market around it and whether an existing buyer's requirements match. If none does, you see how we would position it to reach other qualified buyers.

A potential match is a conversation, not an offer, until the buyer sees your property and makes one. No buyer is named and nothing about your property or business is shared until you decide to proceed.
