A Beach Park waterfront home has sold for $12.35 million, making it the largest sale in the Westshore area’s history, according to Multiple Listing Service.

The 10,474-square-foot home, located at 42 Sandpiper Road, sold to an undisclosed buyer. The sales price breaks down to approximately $1,179 per square foot. The house also set a record for the highest price for a spec home in Tampa.

Jennifer Zales of Coldwell Banker Residential Real Estate represented the seller. Andre Kashou of Smith & Associates represented the buyer.

The builder was Tulia Homes Designs by Tide Homes. The house has seven bedrooms, eight-and-a-half-baths, an office, media room, game room, home gym and a massage room, per the MLS. There is also a chef’s kitchen with state-of-the-art appliances, a walk-in pantry, a full wet bar and a wine cellar.

Unique attributes include a 38-foot floating staircase, expansive terraces and imported Italian porcelain tile. Outdoor amenities include a custom pool and spa, an outdoor kitchen, a sun deck and fire features.

The property includes a garage with a capacity for eight cars with room for lifts, impact windows and an elevator.

It is 0.2 miles from the Tampa Bay Marina and 0.4 miles from I-275. Beach Park was ranked as one of the top five “Best Places to Live in Florida,” according to Niche, a data-driven platform with ratings and reviews of cities across America.

The home is tied as the sixth-highest sale in Tampa’s history. Zales has sold three of the top highest-sold homes in the city. In 2022 she sold 78 Adalia Ave. for $15 million and 48 Adalia Ave. for $12.3 million.

Zales is Coldwell Banker Realty’s top-producing agent for gross sales in Florida and No. 5 in the U.S.
