At $9.15 million it led five reported home sales totaling $23.18 million across the Tampa metro area for the week ending September 20, 2026. Two of the week’s closings were in Beach Park; the others reached Sunset Park and Bayshore Beautiful in South Tampa, and Capri Isle in Treasure Island. Every property on the list was built in 2019 or later, two of them this year, and Smith & Associates Real Estate held the listing side on two of this week’s five reported sales.

Covered balconies with roll-down screens, a covered lanai, a pool and spa and an outdoor kitchen with NatureKast cabinetry face open bay views, and the property carries a new seawall and a new dock with a 16,000-pound lift.
