Welcome
This property is not currently being offered for sale.
With an estimated $1.1M to $1.3M Market Value in it's current condition, 902 SE 12th Ct provides an exceptional investment or redevelopment opportunity to achieve 2-3X times that value, due to its rare, well-situated, oversized lot in the best zip code in Fort Lauderdale.
Flexible zoning allows for multi-family construction enabling the property to reach it fullest potential and highest, best use, whether as luxury single family home, a luxury duplex, or even a high end triplex, with two large units and one smaller unit.
There are currently two buildings on the property, a 2100 sqft CBS/Crawlspace house and a small prefab detached storage shed. For Informational purposes only, a video and floor plan of the existing building are provided below.
A copy of the title search conducted in January 2025, re-affirmed in May 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, are available upon request. The original Survey from when we purchased the property in 1996 is below. In addition to the above, copies of our recent May 2025 inspections of the Sewer Line, Mold Risk, and Termites are available on request. The results were all positive (see below). For your convenience, you may access the Broward County Property Appraiser's page for 902 SE 12th CT here.

It is rare to find almost a quarter acre in Ft. Lauderdale.

Additionally, the home is already metered for 3 units and was approved for two additional structures some time ago.

Flood Zone X (99% of property)
Perimeter enclosed by fence on all sides
Existing Primary Detached One Story Structure is 2,104 SF, and was built in 1952 of CBS Construction
Detached Storage Shed is SF
Lot is already metered for 3 units by FPL
Lot is already metered for natural gas by TECO
99% of Lot is not in a Mandatory Flood Zone, but the far SW corner of the backyard (about 4 SF) does fall with in Mandatory Zone AE. HUD does not require flood insurance currently, as no part of the current residence touches the Mandatory Zone, and it is unforeseen that new construction would touch the Mandatory area either, as the area falls within both the W and S Setbacks
The Original One Story Existing Structure and the Rear Addition are both raised CBS crawlspace construction. The West Addition is concrete slab foundation at grade. The original pitched roof is covered by concrete barrel tile. The original 1952 pitched roof decking is excluded and would be removed before the final walk through.
We do not know when the the two Additions were added to the Existing Structure. They were extant when we purchased the Lot in 1996 and appear on a 1992 Survey image below. They each have independent flat roofs of tar and asphalt covered by 5 layers of white silicon.
None of the three existing roofs have leaks or structural issues of which we are aware.
Property has a Termite Tenting Policy. The 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 termite damage in the SE corner.
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)."
On May 6, 2025, we had the Existing Structure inspected for Mold by United Mold Inspections. The results were NORMAL: "Mold counts are within Normal Range and there is no indication, based on the mold counts, that there is any exposure concern to the occupants."
On May 9, 2025, we had the Property inspected for Termites by PDQ Termite Company. There was no evidence of live termites anywhere in the house. The only insect damage found in the house was the old damage, openly disclosed above in the outdoor storage shed: "No live termite evidence was found on interior or exterior of property. Previous termite damage/evidence was found in exterior shed.We do not see any kick out exit holes for the Frass...property was tent Fumigated by us in 2019 and has been kept and is under warranty until December 25 2025."
Available upon request: Copies of our recent Title Search and Title Insurance Commitment Report, along with our Boundary Survey from July 2024; our recent Mold and Termite reports, and the recent Video Scope of our sewer drain.
