Welcome to Bal Harbour Cove!!! If you love the idea of living in a luxury, resort-like waterfront townhome but still need quick access to the city life, Bal Harbour is the place for you. It is situated right between Clear Lake and Nasa.
18128 Bal Harbour is a three-story townhome with a double-wide driveway and an iron gated courtyard leading into the covered front alcove, where you'll find the front door, as well as side door access to the two-car finished garage with workshop space.
The main living space in this home is found on the second floor, which features fresh interior paint, plush new carpet, a soaring two-story ceiling with skylights for natural light, and a charming brick fireplace flanked by built-in cabinetry.
Take notice of the wall to wall sliding glass doors that extend the living space right out onto the expansive deck with an electric retractable sunshade and sweeping views of the quiet canal. What a great space for entertaining!
The main living space opens up to the adjoining dining room, as well as the loft-style study on the third floor. Take note of the built-ins with pull out drawers for sound and television equipment and the contemporary style wire lighting above.
Virtually staged to help envision the space, this dining room is tucked between the family room and kitchen with a pass-through serving bar and a skylight for natural sunlight, complemented by a mixture of track & recessed lighting.
An alternate view of the dining area highlights the plush new carpet and fresh paint that flow throughout the second floor, with the kitchen to the left, the stairwell and a full bathroom straight ahead, and two bedrooms tucked into the alcove near the bathroom.
Continue into this light and bright island kitchen that induces a waterfront vibe with a coastal blue tile countertop and backsplash complemented by crisp white cabinetry with under cabinet lighting, glass-front display cabinets, and pots & pans pull-outs.
The cook of the family will love the abundant storage and prep space, the serving pass through to the dining room, and the appliances that include a 4 burner hybrid induction cooktop, a built-in microwave, and a stainless Bosch dishwasher.
There's no need to step away from the incredible view while you're cooking supper because a pair of east-facing windows look out over a balcony on the front of the townhome, showcasing views of the lush green space that the home faces.
Enjoy a casual meal in this sunlit breakfast room tucked into the far end of the kitchen. Here, you'll find recessed lighting, diagonally laid ceramic tile floors, a pair of east-facing windows shaded with blinds, and bifold doors to the utility closet.
Two of the four bedrooms in the home are located on the second floor, alongside the main living space. This room offers fresh neutral paint, plush new carpet underfoot, a roomy double door closet, a window with greenspace views, and a full bathroom nearby.
This beautifully updated bathroom services the second floor and boasts a bold blue vanity with sleek granite countertops, a rectangular basin undermount sink, framed mirror, designer lighting, and an oversized shower with tile surround and a seamless glass enclosure.
Another secondary bedroom located on the second floor of the townhome is similar in size and features to the previous room, also boasting fresh paint, plush new carpet, dual closets, and a window with waterfront views of the canal.

Everyone has their own space in this master bathroom with separate his & hers cultured marble vanities with a basin sink and seated vanity space. The bathroom is finished with tile floors, Hollywood lighting, and a walk-in shower with a glass enclosure.
The master closet in this home is especially noteworthy because beyond the lengthy hanging racks on either side, another door leads to additional storage space with built-in shelving for shoes, handbags, or whatever you desire.
The fourth and final bedroom is also located on the third floor and could serve as a secondary master suite, due to its en-suite bathroom. Like the others, this room features fresh neutral paint, plush new carpet, and windows with a view!
This full bathroom services the previous room, boasting a lengthy cultured marble countertop with a basin sink, Hollywood lighting, white cabinetry, tile floors, and a combination bathtub and shower with a sliding glass door.
Heading back down the staircase to the first level, you'll find tons of bonus space that is not factored into the townhome's appraised square footage, but offers plenty of finished and conditioned space for gathering, storage, and play.
From this vantage point, you are on the first floor looking towards the main entrance to the home with the staircase to the left. This flexible use greeting space boasts parquet-inspired vinyl flooring, fresh neutral paint, a built-in bookshelf & a convenient half bath.
Continue from the first-floor greeting room through a doorway at the rear to this spacious game room that measures an impressive 21'x21' and features beautiful new water-resistant vinyl plank floors, fresh paint, and a sliding glass door to the covered patio.
Situated between the two rooms on the first floor, this convenient half bathroom is perfect for servicing drippy, waterside guests! Not only will you find a single basin sink and commode, but the closet reveals a built-in wine storage rack!
Along that rear of the first-floor game room, this extra-large storage closet with shelving is the perfect solution to store your watersports gear, toys, boating equipment, or even holiday decorations!
The sliding glass door in the first-floor game room opens to extend the space onto this newly repaved concrete patio with a metal roof, dual lighted ceiling fans, mature landscape beds, and picture-perfect views of the canal and private boat dock.
Another outdoor living space can be found on the second floor, just off of the family room. This balcony boasts wood decking, metal railings, an electrically controlled retractable sunshade, and breathtaking views complimented by the sea breeze!
Lush grass and sprawling oak trees adorn the backyard space that leads down to the bank of the canal. Relax in a hammock, set up a picnic, or just enjoy the room to run!
