In 2005 and 2006, Jeter also purchased two adjacent lots in Tampa and in 2011, constructed the largest and most expensive house built in the area. Due to the size and stature of the estate, it has been dubbed the title of “St. Jetersburg” after the nearby city of St. Petersburg. The lavish estate was reportedly served as a rental home for NFL superstar Tom Brady and his wife, supermodel Gisele Bündchen before being listed on the market in September of 2020 at $29 million. The deal recently closed at a final price of $22.5 million marking it as the largest residential sale in the Tampa Bay area.

Spanning 1.25 acres of lush land, Jeter’s 22,000 square foot custom built estate is one of the largest waterfront properties in Tampa with seven bedrooms, eight full bathrooms, and eight half-bathrooms. The lavish walled mansion highlights security, privacy, entertainment, and luxury. Beyond the double solid hardwood doors, the space opens to 24-foot foyer with floor-to-ceiling glass offering a scenic view of the bay. The gourmet kitchen is equipped with two islands, four dishwashers, four sinks, walk-in pantry, and high-end appliances. The home’s interior layout includes a wine cellar, home theater, professional gym, in-law suite, au pair wing with living space and kitchen, outdoor kitchen, grilling area, full home generator, and an air-conditioned six car garage. An “owner’s retreat” is an additional feature including fireplaces, seating area, two custom closets, and private balcony. Decorative elements of the custom home include hardwood millwork, hand-polished Venetian plaster, silk draperies, and mosaic tiles. The property’s entertainment options are abundant with a clubroom, full-service bar, and billiards. Stepping outside, the nearly 9,000 square feet of exterior space includes porches, balconies, dock. two boatlifts, heated spa, saltwater lap pool, and picturesque landscaping.

In 2010, the same year this celebrity couple got married, they purchased their Tampa residence for a price of $2.96 million. While the property has not appreciated drastically in the past decade, their asking price of $3 million seemed to appeal to many prospective buyers. Less than two weeks on the market, they have secured a buyer and their former home is currently pending sale. Further than simply selling their homes, the couple also appear to have an appreciation for real estate. They have previously flipped two homes in Los Angeles. This includes the revamped villa in Beverly Hills they sold for $10.3 million last month after purchasing it less than two years prior at under $6 million.

Built in 2009, their Tampa residence is a Mediterranean style mansion spanning 7,495 square feet. The home includes five bedrooms, five full bathrooms, and four half bathrooms across the nearly one acre property. Beyond the guarded gates of the country club community in Avila, the home is accessed by a circular paved driveway. Through a set of arched double doors, the three story mansion opens to a dramatic staircase of ornate iron and marble. The rooms on the main level all overlook the lush landscaped outdoor grounds. The home's open style interior highlights a living area, dining area, wet bar, and chef’s kitchen with an island and breakfast counter. The mahogany elevator leads to the lower level master suite and also to the three upper level bedrooms with accompanying balconies. The home also includes a formal office, guest suite, cinema room, entertainment bar, freeform pool, lanai, and four car garage.

The listing for this property is held by Dianne Martin with Century 21 Affiliated.

Gronkowski will be able to enjoy city and Hudson River views from the high-floor condo when he's in town to play the Jets, Giants, or after spending a night out on the town. Teammate Tom Brady will likely be impressed with the pickup by Gronkowski: the condo was originally listed for $8,775,000 in September of 2019.

The corner unit, three-bedroom and 3.5-bath unit has over 2,600 square feet of living space, 10-foot-high ceilings, and an eat-in kitchen with marble counters and Gaggenau appliances. His master suite includes two walk-in closets and a quartzite bathroom with a double vanity and tub.

The 35 Hudson Yards condominium where Gronk bought his unit has an Equinox gym and SoulCycle, as well as a hotel, spa, and indoor/outdoor pools. The building was designed by David Childs/SOM and completed in 2019 as the tallest building in Hudson Yards. Other amenities include a business center with board rooms, a game room, on-site catering, and a playroom for children. Nearby are multiple parks, shopping centers, restaurants, art galleries in West Chelsea, and more.

Editor's Note: A touch of class is always felt by anyone that has McKinlay Rose Interiors work on their home. Haute Design by Haute Residence caught up with McKinlay Rose to highlight their latest project in Downtown Tampa.

Tampa-based designers McKinlay Rose Interiors just finished a magnificent project in Downtown Tampa. This high rise condominium has had a complete renovation and redesign of the residential space. The homeowner’s personal lifestyle was echoed in the project, and it is reflected and perfectly accompanied by the spectacular city landscape and waterfront views.

Modern and glistening light fixtures, textured shimmering wallpaper, and furnishings with an antique touch were added for an elegant and eclectic décor. The homeowners have original works of art throughout the apartment. These harmonize with McKinlay Rose’s rich work on the unit.

The walls were colored with neutral tones with purpose. For their part, the bejeweled elements add the glamour to the living spaces.

The windows made of glass and traveling from floor to ceiling allow the owners and their guests to enjoy the open vista. The apartment’s seamless glass sliders give easy access to step out into the spacious and multi-directional balcony.

Alan Titchmarsh, the host of the popular British lifestyle gardening show Love Your Garden, calls gardening, "apart from having children, the most rewarding thing in life."

If that's true, then these homes have reaped a huge reward.

Atlanta's Secret Garden

Imagine having your own private garden retreat minutes away from all that Buckhead has to offer. If this walled peace garden isn't enough to stir the spirit, this Cates Ridge property has over 8 usable acres--including a terraced stone path that leads to a waterfall emptying into a lake.

What could have just been an outdoor shower area, has become an old world-inspired reflecting pond and meditation space in the hands of a capable landscaper. The green grass is kept just long enough to curl around the edges of the natural stepping stones. Creeping ivy grows along the red brick retaining wall, while in the foreground a large potted fern keeps everything in balance. The stone bench is angled smartly to catch the calming trickle of water off of a rock into the gently bending pond below.

Secluded garden nooks don't usually appear on properties sporting full gyms, a Fox theater, and a massive pool, but that's what makes this spot such a charmer. Property listing by Debra Johnston.

Vancouver's All Decked Out Dining Space

Canada's real estate queen Sidra Subzwari lists some magnificent properties, but what makes this home special is the very attractive angular deck.

When a deck is not built with a designer's vision--it can be an eyesore but done correctly, a deck can be both comfortable and attractive.

This South Surrey home's deck spills into the yard like a smooth wooden landing pad. Tables and chairs outline various seating and entertainment options, from dinner under the stars to snuggling beside a warm fire. Potted perennials frame the edges in a much more pleasing and fragrant way than any railing would.

A small step up leads to French doors and the living area of the house, while one step down transitions into a stone walkway meandering into a verdant green yard.

Old Florida Charm

Few features feel more "old Florida" than the smell of seawater, tall palm trees, and white wicker rockers on wide porches. This Shell Point estate in Ruskin has all of that Floridian flavor in spades.

The grand white-washed collonades contrast pleasingly with the sun-drenched light green of the tropical plants and blue waters of Tampa Bay.

When this historic manor was originally built, its bones had to be ferried by barge across the bay and assembled using early 1900's methods. The old steeple still stands proudly above the mature trees on a lot that also features a lagoon and waterfall.

Houses like this come with their own stories, whispered in the crux of those tranquil twisting palms.

Offered by Jennifer Zales.

A Palace Garden Comes To Carmel, California

In the 17th Century, gardens in France were symbols of status. Members of the bourgeoisie class under Louis XIV used landscaping as a means of showing the world their wealth.

Offered by Carmel Realty Company, this established garden overlooking the ocean and surrounding a grand home off Mentone Road has something inspired by those formal gardens of royal Europe.

Solid stone steps and chiseled railings jutting out from behind stout hedges. A long swath of grass is cross-cut by pattern-laid stepping stones shadowed by landscaped beds cut into the naturally sloping earth.

Green, gray, and brown are the dominant hues here. The overall effect is a kingly garden--mature and refined. A manicured space carved from the wild overgrowth that plunges down the steep cliffs into the ocean below.

Home gardens can be precise or rough around the edges, contemporary or inspired by history. Their prestige is in their offerings: protection, privacy, rejuvenation, focus, and fresh air.

Albany

Culturally and climatically, Albany and Silicon Valley couldn’t be further apart but all the indicators allude to the fact that big things loom for NY’s state capital. Firstly, as CNBC noted the city’s number of tech jobs grew 161 percent between 2016 and 2017. Like the city itself, the start-ups weren’t sexy. They didn’t bask in pop-culture credibility, but rather in the nuts-and-bolts health and education sectors. The area is surrounded by as many universities as it has snowfall during the winter. It also benefits from New York’s sizable $1.4 trillion GDP and well touted tax breaks for new businesses. And what’s more, what you would pay for a garden shed in Silicon Valley could buy a mansion near Albany.

Atlanta

3509 Tanners Mill Circle, Gainesville, GA 30507 is listed for $16,500,000 by Haute Residence partner Debra Johnston

It’s one of Amazon’s top 20 HQ candidates and last year Forbes described it as one of the top five “US cities poised to become tomorrow’s tech meccas.” It’s got the population (close to half a million), the climate and is fairly cheap to live in. Throw in universities, an international airport and all the other franchises, businesses amenities (sports, commerce, CNN is based there) and Atlanta is a great place to live and work.

Pittsburgh

Since the steel industry's collapse in the ’70s and the population exodus in the ensuing years, Pittsburgh has been the poster child for renewal through technology. A big draw has been Carnegie Mellon’s highly respected computer science program leading to Google basing a campus there which has since been significantly expanded. According to CBRE's annual Tech-30 Report, the city's technology talent pool expanded by 31.4 percent from 2015 to 2016, placing it third overall behind San Francisco and Charlotte. Housing is very affordable — the median price is $135,465 — and it has well-established medical, banking and sports franchises and room for a rapid population increase, which would happen if Amazon decides to base its HQ there as many in Pittsburgh’s real estate industry hope it will.

Cleveland

Like nearby Pittsburgh, Cleveland has re-invented itself from its blue-collar roots to a progressive tech hub.  The highly regarded Cleveland Clinic is a center of innovation for the area. The city’s Health-Tech Corridor Director, Jeff Epstein told Forbes why he thinks tech companies should be based there:

"Cleveland is a prime location for innovative health-tech and high-tech companies. The heart of Cleveland is a leading biomedical, health-care and technology region. It offers easy access to clinicians, researchers and state-of-the-art lab infrastructure inside world-class institutions. The cost of living is 30 percent to 60 percent lower than that of Boston, Silicon Valley, and NYC.”

Detroit

If you haven’t heard, once much maligned Detroit is enjoying the kind of revival that would put many of its Baptist churches to shame. But this is real estate not the Holy Ghost. Old buildings are catching the renovation spirit and going from grit to glitz. And business appears to be booming along with construction. The New York Times reported that only 7 percent of office space is vacant today compared to 30 percent a decade ago. And, at the tail-end of 2007 Ford Motors announced it would use downtown Detroit to base its self-driving and electric car development. 

Like other Mid-West cities, Detroit’s phoenix has risen thanks to the tech sector with the field growing by 55 percent or more between 2011 and 2016, according to CBRE. And despite the construction boom, housing is still incredibly cheap.

Kansas City

Kansas City is already being dubbed “Silicon Prairie.” ZipRecruiter analyzed that network engineering and web development jobs in the area increased by 157 percent year-over-year in 2016. The median pay for mid-career tech jobs is around $90,000 a year. Pretty good considering the median house price is $189,000 and the median rent $900/month. Twenty percent of the city’s population are well educated with tech workers making up 5 percent according to a 2017 report by the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation.

Philadelphia

1 Firethorn Lane, Malvern, PA 19355 is offered at $1,997,500 by Terese Brittingham and Tom McCouch

Aside from the fact that it’s an already established major city with everything that comes with it — prestigious universities, transportation, businesses and sports franchises, Philly has made huge strides in gene therapy to battle cancer. Spark Theraputics CEO Jeffrey Marrazzo told Philadelphia Magazine, "I can make the argument that Philadelphia has the greatest concentration of foundational research in gene and cell therapy in the world.” Employment portal Dice stated that Philadelphia had the highest year-over-year growth for tech salaries in 2017, bettering Silicon Valley itself.

Phoenix 

While the weather and tech sector might be hot, the house prices in Phoenix are not — $227,849 according to Zillow, an increase of 10 percent over the past year. They are predicted to rise a further 4.3 percent next year. What has skilled workers arriving at Phoenix in their droves is the city’s staggering 188 percent one-year increase in tech jobs between 2016-2017 with companies such as General Dynamics, Datashield and MST Solutions being the big employers.

Salt Lake City

Salt Lake City is a city known for start-ups. In fact, Entrepreneur reported that Salt Lake’s fledgling tech businesses had a value of $12 billion as of mid-2017. It ties in to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s No. 1 ranking for Utah for innovation and entrepreneurship and No. 2 for high tech performance in 2017.

Tampa

204 Harbor View Lane, Largo , FL 33770 is offered at $9,995,000 by Jennifer Zales

Even tech types are vulnerable to celebrity pixie dust and when that pixie dust is being sprinkled by one of their own — Bill Gates —everyone pays attention. Gates, along with business partner Jeff Vinik, plans to invest billions of dollars to make Tampa tech incubator, or as Forbes described it, "a model city of the future.” According to CNBC, 200 new residents flock to the city each day. Couple this with noted research institute, The University of South Florida and a median house price of $172,000, which is considerably cooler than the climate, and expect the number of Tampa transplants to increase.
