BELLEAIR BLUFFS, FLORIDA – October 4, 2021 – Engel & Völkers Florida today announced that Kristin Hallamek and Welly Garza of the Hallamek Team with Engel & Völkers Belleair sold the highest price per square foot single-family home in the history of Madeira Beach, FL. The property is located at 13090 131st Avenue, and it sold for $2,229,000.

“It’s not about just selling houses,” said Hallamek. “It’s about finding the right buyer for that specific home. Of course, this is a business transaction, but myself and Welly feel that the emotional part of the sale is an important factor to providing the quality of service we give to all our clients. When you do, it results in fireworks for both the buyers and sellers.”

Totaling 1,238 square feet, the quintessential beach bungalow comprises two bedrooms and two bathrooms. “Old Florida” charm is evoked by the home, which was built in 1925; yet it has been completely remodeled to offer modern amenities.

“We are thrilled to support our advisors with the tools and resources they need to continue to obtain higher end listings in our market,” said Kelly Kepler, License Partner of Engel & Völkers Belleair. “This was a truly unique listing and impeccably restored. Kristin and Welly worked closely with the owners in order to meet their goals and obtain the highest sales price. We are proud of their efforts as they consistently have success in bringing buyers and sellers together—all while breaking records!”

13090 131st Ave sold for roughly $1,800 per square foot; surpassing the record previously held by 100 137th Ave Cir, which sold for about $958 per square foot in 2006.
