215 N Birch Rd

The Versailles is an 11-story mid-century modern co-op built in 1959 and sited directly on Fort Lauderdale’s Intracoastal Waterway, one block from the beach. The boutique property contains roughly 38–39 residences with only two units per floor and no internal hallways, creating semi-private elevator access. Units are typically one- and two-bedroom layouts, several of which have been combined historically to form larger floorplans with dual kitchens or wet-bar setups. Architecturally the building retains its period profile while many interiors have been comprehensively renovated: owners report floor-to-ceiling impact stacking windows, motorized shades, custom European kitchens, high-end appliance packages, and updated baths with premium fixtures. Common areas include an elevator, a renovated pool and expansive deck overlooking the water, outdoor patios and barbecue spaces, and private balconies or lanais on many residences. Building systems noted in listings include central HVAC, central vacuum, hurricane-impact glazing, and completed 50-year recertification with a reserve plan. Parking is available with some residences assigned premium spaces. Pet and specific co-op governance policies vary by unit and are subject to co-op board approval; several listings indicate cash-only or co-op financing requirements. The property’s location places it within easy walking distance of Fort Lauderdale Beach, Las Olas Boulevard, dining, and waterfront recreation, offering a coastal lifestyle with wide water and city skyline views.
