What $5.35M Buys You in Fort Lauderdale | 6 Bed Coral Ridge New Construction

Moving to Fort Lauderdale? Here's what $5.35M buys in Coral Ridge — a 6-bedroom, 6.5-bath home built in 2025 for people who hate boring new construction. About 5,000 sq ft, gold accents, warm wood, custom lighting, and a real story behind why it's back on the market. The owners bought this home a little over a year ago for about $5M and customized it for their family. Then real life happened: their kids' school is in Pinecrest, and the daily drive from Fort Lauderdale was too much. So it's back on the market at $5.35M. Is that worth it for a dry lot in Fort Lauderdale? I'll give you my honest take at the end — and I want yours in the comments. 🏡 THE HOME ▸ Listed at $5,350,000 ▸ 6 bedrooms + 6.5 bathrooms ▸ ~5,000 sq ft of living space ▸ Built 2025 — lived in only a short time, already customized ▸ Coral Ridge, Fort Lauderdale ▸ 2-car garage + long driveway (plenty of parking) 💎 INSIDE ▸ Grand entry with statement staircase + lighting features ▸ Dedicated home office — separate from the bedrooms ▸ Open floor plan that still has character (not one giant "warehouse" room) ▸ Gold accents throughout ▸ Bright white kitchen with Wolf appliances + Sub-Zero ▸ Gas cooking (rare in South Florida) ▸ Hidden walk-in pantry behind the cabinetry — with a second fridge ▸ Coffee bar with beverage cooler ▸ Space already designed for a future elevator ▸ Corner dining area with windows on two sides ▸ Flex room with its own bathroom near the garage 🛁 UPSTAIRS ▸ Split floor plan — two bedrooms on each side ▸ Reading nook / loft between them ▸ Two mirrored kids' bedrooms with walk-through closets ▸ Primary suite: double sinks, soaking tub + walk-in shower ▸ Huge primary closet with a second hidden room inside ▸ Guest suite with a large private balcony, walk-in closet + full bath 🏊 OUTSIDE ▸ Heated saltwater pool + jacuzzi ▸ Summer kitchen ▸ Large covered entertaining area ▸ Security cameras already installed ▸ Manageable yard — all the outdoor living, less maintenance 📍 LIVING IN FORT LAUDERDALE — CORAL RIDGE Quiet streets, big front yards, and mature landscaping — minutes from Las Olas, the beach, and downtown.
