A weekly roundup of notable local real estate news

A single-family home with five bedrooms, five full baths and one half-bath, located at 1103 Gulf Way, St. Pete Beach, sold Oct. 23 for $8 million – $500,000 below the asking price. The two-story, 4,950 heated square-foot property was built in 1935 and is situated on a double 0.18-acre lot with 84 feet of waterfrontage.

The entry foyer, family room, three bedrooms, a home theater and a game room are located on the main level. Upstairs is an open living and dining room with a gas fireplace, a kitchen with stone countertops and solid wood cabinets, laundry facilities and a large primary bedroom with a sitting area and an ensuite bath.

Highlights include wood and travertine flooring; fully integrated technology that allows control of electronic shades, separate sound zones and security; and an extensive addition and whole-house renovation done in 2015.

The seller, represented by Melinda Pletcher with Smith & Associates Real Estate, purchased the home in 2005 for $1.135 million. The buyer’s agent was Donna Miller with Coldwell Banker Realty.

In a prepared statement, Pletcher expressed optimism about the sale following two back-to-back hurricanes. “Home sales like this demonstrate that Florida’s beaches will always offer an enduring beauty and continue to attract new residents. While we have rebuilding to do in our beloved beach community, we also have an incredible resilience and a collective passion to revitalize what we cherish so much.”
