BuyOwner.com Exec. Uses Coldwell Banker

Donna Miller Lists $3.775 Million St. Pete Beach Home

Coldwell Banker Residential Real Estate to Sell Home of Former Buy Owner CEO 

ST. PETERSBURG, FL (May 14, 2014) —Donna Miller, an Coldwell Banker Residential Real Estate sales associate in the St. Petersburg Central office, has  listed a $3.775 million estate on St. Pete Beach. Located at 604 55th Avenue in Brightwater Beach Estates, the custom built residence sits on the end of the 55th Avenue peninsula on 90-feet of waterfront.  The home is owned by the former CEO of Buy Owner in Florida and Georgia, Al Bennati.

“To sell a home of this magnitude, it needs to be done by a person and a company that reaches buyers of this caliber. Donna Miller and Coldwell Banker were the right choice at the right time,” said Bennati. “I was a spokesperson and co-owner of Buy Owner with my sister for over 20 years in Florida and Georgia.  Selling upper end homes like mine was never the market for Buy Owner.”

The three-story Mediterranean-style residence has 6,682-square feet of living space with five-bedrooms, seven-full bathrooms and one –half bath, an oversized six-car garage,  gourmet chef’s kitchen with Wolf appliances, living room, custom billiard/pub room and dining room. The master suite features its own private entry, sitting area, his and hers custom walk in closet with wooden detail. The guest suite boasts fossilized travertine tiles, marble countertops and flooring, faux painting and wooden blinds.

“A luxury listing like this is a positive sign for St. Pete Beach real estate and it shows increasing confidence in the local market,” said Miller. “The home owners wanted to create their own Tuscan retreat. The iron gates, stone work and faux finishes are truly remarkable and reminiscent of an Italian villa. The waterfront views of Boca Ciega Bay from the home’s balconies are breathtaking.”

Unique features of the home include a spiral wooden stair case,  wrought iron entry gates,  a Swarovski crystal-studded dining room ceiling, marble and mahogany floors, indoor and outdoor stone fireplaces, crown molding, custom pool with fire pit, granite countertops and imported Murano glass chandeliers. There is a composite wood dock with a 16,000 pound boat lift and separate Jet Ski lift on the water and custom sea wall with specialty lighting. The dock is also outfitted with special green lights that draw in snook, grouper and mullet in the evening.

“I love the Southeast exposure because we get to experience a beautiful sunrise every day with our morning coffee.  We have a clear view of the boat traffic as it strolls by and we can see the fireworks from the beach and Gulfport for every special occasion,” said Benatti.
