Inside the Deal

You don’t see many properties like this come up in Chapel Trail, especially not with this kind of scale.

We’re talking 5 bedrooms + a den, over 4,000 sq ft of living space, and a 15,000+ sq ft lot

All wrapped around a private lakefront backyard with a pool.

The price? $1.798M.

That’s not pocket change.

Market Context

This is the most expensive active listing in West Pembroke Pines right now.

A few key comparisons:

  • The median list price in West Pines is currently around $730K

  • Most homes in the area range from 1,500–2,200 sq ft, 3–4 bedrooms

  • 3,000+ sq ft homes with lake frontage are uncommon and most are under $1.2M

The list price here reflects lot size, water frontage, and a fully upgraded exterior/interior, but is noticeably above both the area average and county market value.

The home was originally a 3 car garage layout, but part of that garage now functions as interior living space.

This may account for differences between county and MLS reported room counts.

Pro Tip

This is a one off listing in terms of price, lot size, and scale for this area.

You're not buying a gated address or new construction.

You're buying a renovated late ‘80s build on a prime waterfront lot with space and privacy that’s rare in this price tier west of I-75.

The pricing is above local comps on a per square foot basis but it reflects the land, frontage, and usable living space that’s nearly impossible to match within Chapel Trail.

Curious what else this price range can get you?
