For a South Florida waterfront house, 350 Circle Drive manages to make a strong case from both ends of the property.
Down at the water, there is a 90-foot private dock with direct access to the Intracoastal and Atlantic Ocean. Up on the roof, more than 1,000 square feet of lounge space overlooks Lake Santa Barbara and the surrounding skyline.
Between the two sits a newly built contemporary smart home asking $11.78 million.
The Pompano Beach residence offers 6,230 square feet of interior living space and approximately 8,000 square feet under roof, with five bedrooms, six full bathrooms and one powder room.
Jin-Marie Russo of The Russo Team at Coldwell Banker Realty holds the listing.
The house sits directly on Lake Santa Barbara
The setting is one of the home’s biggest assets.
Rather than occupying a narrow residential canal, 350 Circle Drive fronts Lake Santa Barbara, giving the property a much broader open-water outlook.
Expanses of impact glass were used throughout the architecture to capitalize on that setting, pulling lake and skyline views into the main living spaces.
The property has approximately 105 feet of waterfront in total.
A 90-foot dock puts serious boating right outside
Nearly all of that waterfront is put to use.
A 90-foot private dock provides substantial yacht space directly behind the house, while the three-car garage handles the land-based toys.
More importantly for boat owners, there are no fixed bridges between the property and the Intracoastal Waterway.
From there, the Atlantic Ocean is directly accessible, making this a particularly practical setup for larger boats that cannot clear low bridges.
Contemporary architecture puts glass toward the water
The home’s architecture takes a decidedly modern approach.
Large planes of glass face the lake, bringing daylight deep into the interiors while keeping water views visible from multiple levels.
The clean-lined exterior is balanced by outdoor terraces and gathering spaces rather than relying on a single backyard entertaining zone.
That vertical approach becomes particularly important as the house moves upward toward its rooftop.
The main living spaces are built around the views
Inside, the primary gathering areas are arranged to keep Lake Santa Barbara in sight.
Open living spaces lead toward the rear of the home, where the glass opens the interior visually to the pool, outdoor kitchen and waterfront beyond.
At more than 6,200 square feet, there is enough space to create distinct areas for gathering without turning the main floor into one cavernous room.
Multiple lounges throughout the residence add still more places to spread out.
The kitchen anchors the entertaining floor
The kitchen occupies a central role within that main living space.
Rather than separating cooking from entertaining, it sits within the home’s open social core and connects easily with the outdoor areas.
That becomes especially useful when gatherings move between the kitchen, pool deck and waterfront.
And for bigger events, the house has another fully equipped cooking setup outside.
The outdoor kitchen is ready for poolside dinners
Beside the pool is a dedicated outdoor kitchen outfitted with a built-in grill, sink and bar seating.
It turns the pool deck into a complete entertaining area rather than simply somewhere to swim.
Meals can be prepared and served outside without repeatedly moving back into the house, while the lake provides the backdrop.
For a climate where outdoor dining can happen much of the year, it is one of the home’s more practical amenities.
The pool sits between the house and the lake
The private swimming pool occupies the space between the residence and Lake Santa Barbara.
That positioning creates layers of water from several of the rear-facing rooms: pool in the foreground, lake beyond.
It also keeps the outdoor entertaining areas closely connected to both the house and dock.
For boaters returning from the Intracoastal, the pool deck effectively becomes the transition back into the home.
More than 1,000 square feet waits on the roof
The most unusual entertaining space isn’t beside the pool at all.
It is on top of the house.
More than 1,000 square feet of rooftop lounge space crowns the residence, providing a large private outdoor room several stories above the waterfront.
The elevation changes the perspective completely, opening views well beyond the immediate neighboring properties.
The rooftop looks across the lake and skyline
From the roof, Lake Santa Barbara stretches out below while the broader South Florida skyline rises in the distance.
That combination gives the rooftop a different atmosphere from the backyard.
The pool deck is closely tied to the water and boating lifestyle; the roof is more about long-range views, sunsets and evening entertaining.
For a home already rich in outdoor space, the rooftop essentially adds another major living area.
There’s a private theater for nights indoors
Not every amenity depends on South Florida sunshine.
The residence also includes a dedicated theater, giving movie nights their own space away from the main living areas.
That separation matters in a house built heavily around entertaining, since one group can use the theater while others gather elsewhere without competing for the same room.
A fitness room keeps workouts at home
A separate fitness room adds another purpose-built space.
Rather than requiring a bedroom or office to double as a gym, the house allocates a dedicated area for workouts.
Combined with the pool and easy access to outdoor recreation nearby, it rounds out the property’s more active side.
The private office is separated from the social spaces
Working from home gets its own dedicated room as well.
The office provides a quieter alternative to setting up in one of the lounges or bedrooms, especially useful in a house where the primary living areas are intentionally open and social.
It is another example of the floor plan giving specific functions their own spaces rather than asking every room to perform several jobs.
An elevator connects the home’s multiple levels
With living and entertaining areas spread vertically — right up to the rooftop — an elevator connects the residence’s various floors.
That makes the roof far easier to use regularly and simplifies moving between the private bedroom areas, main entertaining spaces and upper-level lounges.
In a multistory waterfront house of this size, it is less an indulgence than an important part of how the floor plan works.
Five bedrooms provide room without overwhelming the floor plan
The house includes five bedrooms, giving it enough sleeping space for family and guests without dedicating an outsized portion of the 6,230 square feet to bedrooms.
With six lavish full baths and one powder room
There are six full bathrooms and one powder room, providing extensive bathroom space relative to the bedroom count.
That leaves more of the overall footprint available for the theater, office, gym and numerous gathering spaces.
The three-car garage complements the yacht dockage
Boating may be the headline recreational feature, but the property is also equipped for a substantial car collection.
A three-car garage provides enclosed parking at the residence.
Combined with the 90-foot dock, the setup gives owners storage on both sides of the South Florida lifestyle equation — cars out front, boats out back.
No fixed bridges make the waterfront especially useful
Waterfront footage alone does not always tell the full story in South Florida.
Bridge clearance can dramatically affect what type of boat can actually reach a property.
Here, the lack of fixed bridges creates an unobstructed route from Lake Santa Barbara to the Intracoastal Waterway and onward to the Atlantic.
That makes the 90-foot dock considerably more useful than dockage located farther inland behind low bridges.
Pompano Beach’s oceanfront is minutes away
The house is positioned for both waterfront privacy and quick access to the broader Pompano Beach lifestyle.
The city’s oceanfront, restaurants and nightlife are only minutes away.
Golf courses, parks, sports complexes, an airpark and other recreational facilities also sit within the surrounding area, giving owners plenty of options when they aren’t on the boat or beside the pool.
At $11.78M, the roof and dock make the strongest case
There are plenty of contemporary waterfront homes along South Florida’s coast, but 350 Circle Drive has two features that help distinguish it.
At water level, a 90-foot dock and no fixed bridges create a serious boating setup with direct ocean access.
Several stories higher, a rooftop measuring more than 1,000 square feet turns the top of the house into another full-scale entertaining space overlooking Lake Santa Barbara and the skyline.
For $11.78 million, the property effectively delivers two very different versions of waterfront living — one right at the dock and another far above it.
