North Longboat Key home sells for $4.8 million

A Gulf-front home at 6477 Gulfside Road sold Wednesday for $4.8 million.

According to the warranty deed, James Tipping and Jaroslaw Pekaruk, of Hamilton, Bermuda, purchased the home from Brian and Thomas Withers, individually and as successor cotrustees of the Revocable Living Trust of Kathleen Withers, of Warren, Mich.

Barbara Ackerman, of Coldwell Banker’s Longboat Key office, listed the property. Reid Murphy, of Developers Realty Corp., represented the buyer.

The 5,982-square-foot home was built in 2002 and has six bedrooms, five-and-a-half bathrooms and a swimming pool.

The sale price is the highest amount paid for a Longboat Key home in Manatee County since March 2009, when the home at 5871 Gulf of Mexico Drive sold for $7,125,000, according to Manatee County property records.
