Another high-end property in The Villages has crossed the million-dollar sales mark, selling for nearly three times its original purchase price in 2011.
Located at 1365 Brier Creek Circle in the Village of Bridgeport at Laurel Valley, the home was sold by Grady G. and Dorothy W. Gardner to Kevin and Victoria Moran for $1,175,000 on June 4.
In April 2024, Grady and Dorothy Gardner acquired the property for $1,050,000, meaning the property netted approximately $125,000 in profit in just over two years since its last sale.
First constructed in 2011, the home was sold new to Susan and Steven Chapman for $450,000 in June of that year.
In November 2017, the Chapmans sold the property to Conrad and Pamela Shaffer for $685,000. The Shaffers eventually sold the property to the Gardners.
The home, which is a Sanibel model, encompasses 3,600 square feet and features three bedrooms and two bathrooms.
Situated adjacent to the Laurel Valley Postal Station, the property also features a screen-enclosed, computer-controlled swimming pool, motorized privacy shades, and a whole-house Kinetico water filtration system with a dedicated reverse osmosis station, according to an online listing for the property.
The $1.175 million transaction is the latest in a series of high-dollar sales in The Villages.
Earlier this year, another home in the nearby Village of Bridgeport at Lake Sumter sold for $1.45 million, nearly doubling the $800,000 price it previously fetched in 2014.
