Welcome
With an estimated $1.1M to $1.3M Market Value, 902 SE 12th Ct provides Buyer's with an exceptional investment opportunity at a competitive price, whether as a home to live in, a rental property, or development opportunity. The monthly rent potential is estimated to be $5900-$7900. The flexible zoning allows for multi-family construction.
Built in 1952, the house features a traditional, yet open lay out, with oak floors and classic design elements, such as crown moldings, throughout. All of the windows and doors are impact resistant. The extensive and modern yard lighting was installed in 2024, as was the front porch. The fence was installed in 2021. The kitchen, laundry room, and rear bath were all renovated in 2015. The den was renovated in 2023. The AC air handler was replaced in 2020, and the AC compressor was replaced in 2022. The house is covered by a Termite Tenting Policy and will either be tented before closing or the policy will be transferred to the Buyer, at the Buyer's option.
Seller can provide prospective buyers, upon request, with a copy of the title search conducted in January 2025, along with a copy of the Title Insurance Commitment report issued in conjunction with that search, and a Boundary Survey of the property taken in July 2024, after the Broward County FEMA flood map was redrawn. The original Survey from when we purchased the house in 1996 is in the Gallery below, as are a video walk through, and floor plan. For your convenience, you may access the Broward County Property Appraiser's page for 902 SE 12th CT here.

Detached single family residence for Sale by Owner, 2,104 SF House on an 8,580 SF Lot in the Harbordale Neighborhood of Fort Lauderdale, Broward County, Florida (33316) . Oversized yard surrounded by 6ft tall polyvinyl fence. Large circular driveway. Built 1952.
60.00 FT of Frontage, 143.00 FT Deep.
Zoned Single and Multi RML-25.
Flood Zone X
Neither the house, nor 99% of the yard are in a Mandatory Flood Zone, but far SW corner of the backyard (about 4 SF) does fall with in a Mandatory Zone AE. Buyer would need to verify with lender as to whether Flood Insurance would be required. HUD does not require it currently, since no part of the residence touches the Mandatory Zone.
The original house and the Kitchen addition are both raised crawlspace construction, at least 2 feet above grade. The Den addition is concrete slab foundation at grade.
The house has natural gas for the tankless, instant water heater (2022) and a new gas range (2024). The large eat-in Kitchen has granite counters and stainless steel appliances, including a trash compactor. All appliances are 10 years old or younger. The Kitchen also has built in recycling bins. We do not know when the kitchen addition was added to the house, it was a part of the house when we purchased it in 1996 and appears on a 1992 Survey image. We renovated the Kitchen in 2016.
The Den is plumbed and wired for a wet bar. We do not know when the the Den, west bedroom, and office area were built. They were a part of the house when we purchased it in 1996 and appear on a 1992 Survey image. In 2023, the original wetbar was removed and the old parquet flooring on the west side of the house was replaced with brand water/mold/scratch resistant vinyl plank.
Property has a Termite Tenting Policy that the Buyer may elect to use before closing or to have transferred to their name. Property has been tented twice since 2000. There is no structural damage from termites to the best of our knowledge. However, the outside shed does have carpenter ant damage in the SE corner.
The buyer should be aware that while the roof has no leaks or structural issues of which we are aware, it is nearing the end end of its lifespan, and the price of the home already reflects the cost for replacing the roof.
On May 1, 2025, we had our complete sewer line scoped. This was the summary: "[4Star Plumbing] performed a sewer camera inspection of the drain line of 902 SE 12 Court today. A copy of the video was given to [the homeowner] by the technician. In the video we go from the rear bathroom clean-out out to the city connection. We found cast iron piping showing moderate scale buildup and some water holding in the line. There were no major issues seen (cracks, breaks, roots, or bellies)."
Available upon request: Copies of our recent Title Search and Title Insurance Commitment Report, along with our Boundary Survey from July 2024; and Video scope of sewer drain.
