MELBOURNE, Fla., Sept. 23, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Engel &
Völkers Florida today announced
the record-breaking sale of 281 S Atlantic Ave in Cocoa Beach, Florida. Martha Melendez and Steve Stark of the Aspire Group with Engel &
Völkers Melbourne Beachside held the listing and Brianne Felton of The Felton Group with eXp
Realty represented the buyer. With a $4,300,000 price tag, the transaction marks the
most expensive single-family home ever recorded in Cocoa Beach and the highest sales price
garnered for a beachfront home in Brevard
County this year.
"Cocoa Beach has always held a
special place in my heart," said Stark, "I visited family here
during the summers as a kid. It's such a fun place with awesome
beaches, and it was actually a surprise to find out it was a record
sale — but this home deserves it. It is truly special, and we are
thrilled that it is going to someone who will love it as much as
the seller has."
281 S Atlantic Ave is a tropical oasis with 120-feet of private
beachfront. The one-of-a-kind, 5,353 square foot home boasts six
bedrooms and six bathrooms. Special features include a treehouse
that connects to the main house via a suspended bridge, detached
guest bungalow, interior and exterior surround sound, wine cellar,
three-car garage, pool, jacuzzi and an outdoor fireplace.
"I couldn't be more proud to work with amazing real estate
advisors like Martha and Steve," said Marcie Bolt, License Partner of Engel &
Völkers Melbourne Beachside. "They continue to exceed my
expectations as their broker and always go the extra mile for their
clients. Breaking this local record is a great honor for us all and
a direct result of the bespoke, luxury service Engel & Völkers
provides."
281 S Atlantic Ave was once owned by Allen Harold "Al" Neuharth,
an American businessman who founded USA Today. It is located next to what was once
Neuharth's famous "Pumpkin Center," which tragically burned down in
2016. The Pumpkin Center, located at 333 S Atlantic Ave, previously
held the local record for it's sale in 2015 at $4,000,000.
"This was a great success for all involved," said Peter Giese, Chief Growth Officer at Engel &
Völkers Florida. "Martha and Steve
go above and beyond to exceed their clients expectations and
represent the Engel & Völkers brand in a manner that epitomizes
local expertise with global branding prowess."
