Multimillion Dollar Sales in West Boca

Real estate in Florida is booming. Many people are investing in property and finding that they can make a good profit when selling it. Some are purely selling because they’ve invested a lot into the property and are now looking for a return on that investment, some are looking to get a home with more space and some are selling as they’re relocating to the coast and like the look of condo renovations in Naples Florida. Four West Boca houses sold in the past couple of months for prices in excess of $2 million. All were in zip code 33496, with two of the sales in Long Lake Estates, one in St. Andrews Country Club, and the fourth in Fieldbrook.

The biggest sale was in mid-March, when 8747 Twin Lake Drive sold for over $3.85 million. The buyer won a $50M Canadian lottery jackpot in February and we’re happy to welcome him to West Boca.
As you might expect, it’s a big house:

The house has six bedrooms, seven full bathrooms plus a half bath, all in just under 8000 square feet of living space. On top of that it has five garage spaces for cars and a total of nearly 12,000 square feet including the garages and patios. Built in 2005, it was previously owned by a successful entrepreneur in the supplements industry who bought it in 2007 for just under the current sale price.
The house was marketed, at least partly with this very nice YouTube video:

The house sold quickly, in just about a week. The vacant lot next door was purchased in 2014 for $800K.

7091 Queenferry Circle; imagery and map data Google

Selling for just over $3.4 million, 7091 Queenferry Circle is located in St. Andrews Country Club with a lake and fairway view. The sale price is a big drop from the original listing at $5.2M, and it was on the market for over a year.
The home, built in 2014, has six bedrooms, seven full bathrooms and three half baths in over 9000 square feet. The buyer is a family trust in the name of a CEO who runs a military clothing company. The seller is a corporation that may be connected to another Florida executive who was accused of a stock kickback scam by the SEC a few years ago, and also to a major real estate player with a federal cocaine conviction back in the 1980s.

18118 Daybreak Drive; imagery and map data Google

18118 Daybreak Drive in Long Lake Estates sold for $3.25 million, down from its original listing at $4M. It was on the market for 11 months. This is another 9000+ square foot house with a total of eight bedrooms and 9 1/2 baths, plus 5 garage bays and a tennis court. It has a particularly nice lake view though it may get some road noise from Clint Moore. The house was built in 2002.
Here’s an exterior video of the house (probably shot with a drone) from YouTube:

County records don’t identify the transaction or the buyer yet. The sellers are a British couple. The husband appears to run a railway signalling company in the UK and the wife is a television producer there.

17776 Fieldbrook Circle West; imagery and map data Google

Last, and least in this group, 17776 Fieldbrook Circle West sold for just under $2.2 million. Fieldbrook is a small community on the west side of Jog Road, north of Clint Moore. The sellers are a local couple and the husband is a real estate agent who sold the house himself. They bought the house at the bottom of the market in 2011 for $1.35 million, making this a great turnaround.
He listed it last fall for three months at $2M, then took it off the market and put it back on again for a quick sale in January, closing in late April.
Built in 1995, the house has 6 bedrooms and 5 1/2 baths in 5900 square feet. There’s a fairly shallow backyard filled with a large swimming pool. It backs up to another exclusive neighborhood called Boniello’s Acres. The front of the house has a large circular driveway and lake view, and there’s a tennis court on one side.

Recent Home Sales in 33496 With Warren Redlich

West Boca News founder Warren Redlich is now a real estate agent, and he reports on homes sold since December 2014 in zip code 33496. Warren is a licensed sales associate working with the Signature International Real Estate brokerage.
Homes in the 33496 zip code are located between 441 and Military Trail, north of Yamato Road to the Delray line. Neighborhoods in this area include Long Lake Estates, St. Andrews, The Oaks, Woodfield Country Club, Newport Bay Club, Boca Gardens, Broken Sound, Whisper Walk, The Polo Club, Lakeridge and Seasons.

Early January saw the sale of 7699 Fenwick Place in St. Andrews Country Club for just over $2.1 million. The house has 5 bedrooms, 6 full and 3 half baths in nearly 8000 square feet under air. The golf course view includes the tee area of one hole with a green a bit further away. That position means relatively few mishits will end up in this backyard.
The previous owner bought the lot in 2005 for $750K and then built the house in 2009. Showing the quirks of high-end real estate, Zillow estimates the house value at over $4.2 million and the county appraiser has it at 2.9 million. We suspected this was something other than an arms-length transaction but can’t find any obvious connection between the seller (a New Jersey oral surgeon) and the buyer (family trust of a local executive).

The ranch home at 4184 Briarcliff Circle sold on December 18th for $802,000. It has 4 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms in a bit over 3000 sq. feet of living space. Located in Woodfield Country Club, it has a pool and lake views. It was built in 1997.
This is a substantial price increase from the 2013 purchase for just under $700K and a promising sign for sellers in the sub-million dollar range.

Also in Woodfield, 6577 Landings Court sold for $1.08M on January 5th. It has 4 beds, 4 full and 2 half baths in over 4000 square feet and a cul de sac location with a golf course view.

Just outside Woodfield, 5853 Hamilton Way in The Hamptons sold for $860K in late January. It has four bedrooms and three baths in under 3000 square feet. The price might be explained by its proximity to the highly rated Omni Middle and Spanish River High, as well as convenient shopping.

This pleasant house at 6421 NW 31st Terrace sold for $959,000. Located on lakefront in The Seasons (southwest of Clint Moore and Jog Road), it has 4 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms and 2 half bathrooms.

This is a substantial price drop from its original purchase price of $1.875 million in 2008. Features include a circular drive, 3 car garage and gourmet kitchen. In addition, it has a heated pool and spa, summer kitchen and guest house.

Also in The Oaks, 17736 Vecino Way sold for $960K on December 10th. It has 5 bedrooms and 5 baths in just under 4000 square feet, and sits on a corner lot.

Another house in The Seasons sold for $878,000 on December 1st. 6485 NW 32nd Way has 3 bedrooms and 3 full baths along with a guest house that has 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom. It has 3210 sq. feet of living space and was built in 1994. The upgraded kitchen has custom cabinets and state of the art appliances. This lakefront home has an in ground pool with screened in patios.

Two pricey homes sold in Fieldbrook Estates in December. At nearly $2.8 million, 17837 Fieldbrook Circle has 6 beds, 7 full and 2 half baths, in over 8000 square feet. The appraiser shows this transaction as taking place in October but Realtor.com puts the sale on December 5th. The previous owner acquired the lot in 1999 for $800K and built the house in 2001.
The smaller 17735 Fieldbrook Circle, just a few doors down, sold for $1.425 million with 5 bedrooms, 3 1/2 baths, and over 4000 square feet. The appraiser has this sale in November and the house over 5000 square feet. The sale price is up from a 2010 transaction for under $1.2M, which appears to have followed a foreclosure.
