195 Feet of Dockage. A Home Built for the Life You Already Want to Live.
You know exactly what you want.
You want a boat that can go somewhere: a yacht that justifies the slip, a sportfish ready for the run, perhaps a center console alongside her for the quick morning trips. You want to slip the lines before the day has fully woken up, clear the Hillsboro Inlet, and watch the mainland disappear behind you. You want Bimini by lunch. And when the sun drops, you want to come home to a house that lives up to the life you live on the water.
You have probably learned, by now, that the market rarely cooperates.
Most Lighthouse Point waterfront homes for sale ask you to choose. You get the home, or you get the dockage. You get the location, or you get the privacy. You get the ocean access, or you get the scale. The compromise is always tucked somewhere into the listing — and you are too seasoned a buyer to pretend it is not there.
Which is why 3700 NE 28th Avenue in Lighthouse Point deserves your attention.
The Point Lot That Doesn’t Compromise
This is a rare convergence, and that word matters, because in waterfront real estate, true convergences are not common. On a quiet cul-de-sac in Venetian Isles, one of South Florida’s most coveted boating communities, this Mediterranean estate occupies a genuine point lot with 195 feet of private waterfront and southeast exposure across a canal measuring 121 feet or more in width.
The southeast orientation is not a marketing detail. It is daily life. Morning light without the afternoon glare. Coastal breezes that find every outdoor space. A pool deck and a dock that stay in motion with the sun from the moment you step outside with coffee until long after the last line is tied for the evening.
And the dockage itself is what makes this property unusual. Most 195-foot stretches of private water are broken up, awkwardly configured, or constrained by bridges and depth. Here, they are configured for a serious yacht — with a deeded dock, private dock, and boat lift — with enough additional length to accommodate a sportfish or center console alongside. Direct ocean access. No fixed bridges. The Hillsboro Inlet is minutes away. Bimini is approximately forty miles beyond. At that distance, it ceases to be a vacation. It becomes a weekend.
An 8,400-Square-Foot Home That Actually Knows What It Is
Step through the front doors and you understand immediately: this home was not built for scale alone. Scale, here, has purpose. Elegant columns frame the grand living spaces. Travertine tile runs cool and polished across the entire first floor. Crown moldings hold the ceiling lines without calling attention to themselves. A curved staircase — wrapped in graceful wrought-iron — rises from the foyer to the second floor, catching light from every direction a point lot can offer.
The kitchen, more than twenty-two feet long, opens to a family room built for real life. The dining area flows into the living room. The living room flows outside. The outside, of course, flows to the water. Throughout the home, ten paddle fans turn quietly, built-in stereo speakers carry music from room to room, a central vacuum system hums beneath the floors, and custom closet cabinetry disappears so completely into the architecture that you only notice the difference on the day you move somewhere without it.
Seven bedrooms. Six full baths. Two half baths. A three-car attached garage. A summer kitchen with built-in barbecue. A pool bathroom. An outdoor shower. A heated saltwater pool measuring 30 by 15 feet, with an in-ground spa. A cabana. A covered patio. An open patio. A deck.
And above all of it: the water.
A Sanctuary Suite Above the Canal
The primary suite on the second floor feels less like a bedroom and more like a private wing. At nearly twenty-eight feet long, it anchors the upper level with its own balcony — the kind of balcony you step onto with coffee in one hand and forget what time it is. The Intracoastal canal moves below. Boats glide past with no particular hurry. And because this is a point lot, the view reaches in virtually every direction, the way a home on a promontory ought to behave.
There is a generous primary bath, dual walk-in closets, a dedicated utility space, and a balcony that is designed for two chairs and nothing else — because nothing else belongs there.
Venetian Isles: Where Yachtsmen Actually Live
Venetian Isles is not an aspiration. It is where the serious boaters of South Florida have lived, quietly, for decades. It is the neighborhood you choose when the boat in the driveway is not a decoration. The streets are quiet. The canals are wide. The cul-de-sacs end at the water. And Lighthouse Point itself — the incorporated city that holds Venetian Isles — remains one of the last places in South Florida where neighbors still recognize one another by the name painted on the transom.
This is a Lighthouse Point waterfront home for sale that knows exactly who it is for.

If this feels like a home that has been waiting for you — it may well have been. Point lots with this kind of dockage, in this kind of community, do not appear often in Lighthouse Point. And when they do, they tend not to linger.
