$23.9 Million Worth Tampa Bay Home’s Unique Feature Makes Derek Jeter’s Record Look Very Weak

It is often said that a person’s home is their castle and when money is no issue, that certainly is true in quite a literal sense. Derek Jeter, one of the most successful baseball athletes, amassed hundreds of millions during his time as a baseball player with his staggering contracts and endorsements. And what better way to invest that money than real estate? So, he purchased a crown jewel of a property in a coveted neighborhood of Tampa Bay, which he, however, later sold as the highest-paid property in the area.

Tampa’s most fancied Davis Islands neighborhood has certainly one of the most luxurious mansions marked at millions. And one of these mansions is ready to break the record of the highest-paid mansion in the community, which was previously held by Jeter’s former mansion. Let’s compare the two mansions and identify how the difference accounts for the price gap between them!

The $23.9 million waterfront home, which broke the record of Derek Jeter’s mansion in Tampa

Derek Jeter’s sprawling mansion was sold for a mind-boggling $22.5 million in 2021. But now, another property is ready to claim the throne as the highest-paid property in the area. The asking price according to tampabay.com is $23.9 million. 

The whole capital spans an impressive 1.45 acres and boasts a serene 464 feet of water frontage. Imagine waking up to the tranquil beauty of a water body every single day, with a sense of peace that only nature can provide.

Built in 1928, this historic masterpiece is a visual treat for the eyes, with an architectural aesthetic that reflects its heritage. At 9,038 square feet has seven bedrooms and bathrooms.

A gym for the fitness freaks, a wine cellar for the wine connoisseurs, as well as relaxed evening dinners, and two office spaces for the workaholics and the hustlers. What mansion would be complete without a pool and a boathouse? 

Derek Jeter’s former $22.5 million home 

The home resided two of the most famous sports athletes, former owner Derek Jeter and tenant Tom Brady once, but is now set to be torn down and redeveloped. However, let’s compare it with the home that is set to trump it by $1.4 million. 

The property had 345 feet of an open bay that used to sit on a 1.25-acre estate. It has less land than the mansion mentioned above. But it was the largest assembled waterfront property on the island, again according to tampabay.com. It had seven bedrooms and eight bathrooms, a club room for the party enthusiasts with a full-service bar and game table, a wine cellar, a movie theater for the film fanatics, a gym, and an outdoor area with a dock, a saltwater pool, and a heated spa.
