St. Petersburg-Clearwater / Pinellas County, Florida Top 5 Home Sales: New Waterfront Build in Belleair Beach Leads the Week at $6.85 Million

Two new-construction homes in Belleair Beach bracket a week of waterfront sales that also reached Redington Beach, the Broadwater neighborhood of Saint Petersburg and Island Estates in Clearwater.

St. Petersburg-Clearwater / Pinellas County, Florida Top 5 Home Sales: New Waterfront Build in Belleair Beach Leads the Week at $6.85 Million

The highest-priced home sales reported in St. Petersburg-Clearwater / Pinellas County, Florida for the week ending November 8, 2026, came to a combined $21.45 million. All five were single-family homes in Pinellas County, and Belleair Beach accounted for two of them, including the top sale of the week.

The group runs from a just-finished home with its own deep-water dock to a 1972 home on a broad corner lot in Clearwater, with a Gulf-front home in Redington Beach and a boating home on a Saint Petersburg canal in between.

No. 1 — $6,850,000 · 236 Howard Drive, Belleair Beach, Florida

Top home sale No. 1 in St. Petersburg-Clearwater / Pinellas County, Florida — 236 Howard Drive, Belleair Beach, Florida, week ending November 8, 2026

The top sale of the week was a home completed in 2026, the newest of the five, in the Howard Estates neighborhood of Belleair Beach. It sold for $6,850,000. Set on a cul-de-sac on the Intracoastal Waterway, the three-story home was designed in a California Coastal style and built of concrete, with limestone cladding, deep pilings and impact-rated casement and storefront windows.

At 5,830 square feet it is the largest of the five homes, with five bedrooms and six bathrooms, five full and one half. Ceilings rise to 25 feet. Floors are wide-plank French oak, cabinetry is custom walnut, and a linear gas fireplace anchors the living room. In the kitchen, honed Taj Mahal quartzite sits alongside a Wolf gas range and coffee system, Miele refrigeration and a Perlick wine column. Balconies 42 feet wide run along the home, edged in glass railings, and an elevator connects the floors. The primary bedroom is upstairs.

Outside are a heated saltwater pool and spa, a protected deep-water dock and an expanded seawall, with views of the water and a partial view of the Gulf. The garage has room for 12 cars, the most of any home in this group. A residents-only beach is a block away, and the community has a clubhouse, a park, tennis and pickleball courts and a playground. Belleair Country Club and Pelican Golf Club are both within ten minutes.

Dania Perry of CENTURY 21 JIM WHITE & ASSOC was the listing agent, and the same agent was on both sides of the sale, also representing the buyer.

No. 2 — $5,900,000 · 15908 Gulf Boulevard, Redington Beach, Florida

Top home sale No. 2 in St. Petersburg-Clearwater / Pinellas County, Florida — 15908 Gulf Boulevard, Redington Beach, Florida, week ending November 8, 2026

Directly on the Gulf in Redington Beach, a coastal home built in 2019 sold for $5,900,000. The property has 70 feet of Gulf frontage and a seawall, and a broad artificial-turf lawn reaches straight to the beach. Coconut palms and tropical plantings fill out the grounds, which also include a heated pool and spa, a covered pool lanai and an outdoor kitchen with a grill. The property last sold for $2.075 million in 2017, before the current house was built.

The foyer, with a ceiling of about 36 feet and a custom stainless-steel railing in a wave design, leads up to the main living level. There, a 30-foot span of sliding glass doors looks out on the Gulf, and ceilings run 11 feet throughout the home. The open kitchen combines two-tone cabinetry with granite and quartz counters and stainless Miele appliances, among them a gas range and a built-in coffee maker. It opens onto the dining and living areas, and from there to the first of three large covered balconies, which together come to more than 1,700 square feet.

The home has five bedrooms and five bathrooms, four full and one half, in 5,615 square feet on 0.32 acres, and an elevator serves every level. The primary suite takes up one whole side of the home facing the Gulf, behind a wall of sliders about 10 feet tall, and has a large walk-in closet and a bath with a soaking tub, a walk-in shower and two vanities. On the next level, three more bedrooms face the Gulf and share access to another covered balcony; two of them have their own baths. That level also has a fifth bedroom now used as an office and a media room with a 120-inch screen. A bonus room above opens to a rooftop terrace with views in every direction, across the Gulf and the Intracoastal and down the coast toward Pass-a-Grille and the Don CeSar. The garage has room for six cars.

Phillip Pendley, Jr and Jennifer Blackwell of THE SEASIDE REAL ESTATE STORE were the listing agents. Dania Perry of CENTURY 21 JIM WHITE & ASSOC represented the buyer, one of two sales in this week’s Top 5 for that agent.

No. 3 — $3,750,000 · 4130 42nd Avenue S, Saint Petersburg, Florida

Top home sale No. 3 in St. Petersburg-Clearwater / Pinellas County, Florida — 4130 42nd Avenue S, Saint Petersburg, Florida, week ending November 8, 2026

In the Broadwater neighborhood of Saint Petersburg, a single-story home on a saltwater canal went under contract seven days after it was listed and sold at its full asking price, $3,750,000. Built in 1998, it sits on 0.58 acres, the largest lot of the five, and the canal reaches the Intracoastal Waterway with no fixed bridges in the way, which makes it sailboat water.

That setup is the heart of the property. At the seawall are a 16,000-pound boat lift, a boat davit and a wet slip with its own electrical hookup. Behind the home, a zero-edge saltwater pool has a fountain and steps of Ocean Reef slabs, set in a deck of tumbled limestone, and a covered lanai of 13 by 35 feet provides room for dining and lounging.

Arrival is by a circular paver driveway to a portico and front porch. Inside are five bedrooms and four bathrooms, two full and two half, in 4,515 square feet, with European white oak floors. The primary suite looks toward the pool and the water, and its bath has a freestanding soaking tub and a rain shower lined in Dekton. The kitchen has Thermador appliances, including a six-burner gas range, a griddle and a pot filler, and the family room has a gas fireplace set into a Cambria quartz wall. The home also has a metal roof and solar panels throughout. The property last sold for $1 million in 2020.

Bonnie Lanners PA of SMITH & ASSOCIATES REAL ESTATE was the listing agent, and Teresa Halliburton of CENTURY 21 SUNBELT REALTY represented the buyer.
