$800K+ Home Sales: The Bridges, Seven Bridges, The Oaks and More

Seventeen single family homes sold west of the Turnpike for over $800K since August 1st. Six were in The Bridges, four in Seven Bridges, three in The Oaks, with one each in Long Lake Estates, Rio Poco, Saturnia Isles, and Mizner Country Club.
The Bridges
The biggest transaction was 16781 Crown Bridge Drive in The Bridges, which was sold new by GL Homes for just over $2 million in mid-August. It is by far the largest house in this report with over 7500 square feet, 6 bedrooms, 6 full and 2 half baths, a cul de sac location with waterfront, a pool, and a variety of high end features including an elevator. The price works out to $273 per square foot.
On the same street, the much smaller 16834 Crown Bridge Drive sold for $1.6 million with 4600 square feet, 4 bedrooms and 5 and a half baths. For the size this was a much higher price at $345/sq.ft. It took over a year to sell.

16910 Charles River Drive sold for $1,598,000 at the end of August; image from PBC appraiser.

16910 Charles River Drive sold for just under $1.6 million with only 3350 square feet. The price works out to $476 per square foot. The seller touted over a million dollars in upgrades including air conditioned garages, a generator for the house, salt pool with infinity spa, etc. With all that in mind we’d guess the seller lost money on the house after upgrades.
Stepping down a bit, 8365 Hawks Gully Avenue sold in a couple weeks for just over $1 million with the same 3350 square feet, 3 bedrooms and 3 and a half baths. Its pool design was featured in a YouTube video:

Dropping below $1M, 8701 Lewis River Road sold for $983K with 5200 square feet (under $200/sq.ft.), and 8187 Lawson Bridge Lane sold for $885K with 4300 square feet.

Seven Bridges
9735 Vitrail Lane sold new by GL for just over $1.1 million with 4200 square feet, 4 bedrooms and 4 and a half baths.
Next door the much larger 9831 Vitrail Lane was also sold new by GL for just under $1.1 million with 5200 square feet, 5 bedrooms and 6 and a half baths.
16436 Pantheon Pass sold for $1.03 million in August, only 4 months after a previous transaction for $940K. The contract was signed only 2 months after the earlier transaction, making us wonder if the new buyer’s agent informed the buyer about that earlier price.
16903 Pavilion Way sold new by GL for $964K with 3000 square feet, 3 bedrooms and 3 and a half baths. The price works out to roughly $320 per square foot, even though there’s no waterfront.
The Oaks
We don’t see many single story homes in The Oaks, but two of them are in this report.
9074 Pintura Way sold for just over $1.2 million with over 3400 square feet, 4 bedrooms, and 3 and half baths. The rear of the house faces south with a lake view. It’s encouraging to see this sold for $200K more than when it was purchased new in 2014.
17654 Cadena Drive sold by the builder (Standard Pacific) for $900K with 3500 square feet, 3 bedrooms and 3 1/2 baths.
The two-story 17842 Lake Azure Way sold for $855K with 4500 square feet. We think this was a Chinese drywall home that was completely redone as it was originally sold for just over $1M in 2006 by Albanese, and then bought in 2016 for only $315K.
Others
In Long Lake Estates, 18094 Sentinel Circle sold for $1.5 million with 5300 square feet, 6 bedrooms and 6 and two half baths. The one floor home has over an acre of land and over 250 feet of waterfront.
16215 Rio Baile in Rio Poco sold for $975K with nearly 4800 square feet, 6 bedrooms and 5 baths.
Across 441 in Saturnia Isles, 9512 Savona Winds Drive sold for $855K with 4800 square feet, 5 bedrooms and 4 1/2 baths.
And just north of The Bridges in Mizner Country Club, 8911 Oakland Hills Drive sold for $850K with 4500 square feet, 5 bedrooms and 5 1/2 baths.

May Home Sales II: $185K to $750K

In Part Two of reviewing sales in May, we look at houses that sold for less than $800K. This is for homes west of the Turnpike (as far north as Atlantic) with over 2000 square feet of living space. Most of these transactions were west of US-441 and south of Clint Moore.  So, let us now review property sales in May.
