MANASOTA KEY — The Charlotte County waterfront home where the late pop singer Donna Summer lived for five years was sold for $2.85 million.
Summer, scheduled for induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame April 18, bought the home in 2007, according to a release from local real estate firm Michael Saunders & Co. A Michael Saunders agent, Maryann Casey, represented the buyers in the latest transaction, which closed April 12, while Nelda Thompson & Associates represented the sellers. The home was initially listed on the market for $3.2 million in February.
The four-bedroom, four-bathroom home, in a private, gated enclave, was built in 1950 and has since undergone numerous updates, according to the release. The home now includes open beam ceilings, a large covered veranda, an open patio overlooking a pool and a sunning porch on the west side that faces the Gulf of Mexico. A boathouse and dock are also connected to the property.
Summer, who suffered from lung cancer, died last May. She won five Grammy Awards and had four No. 1 singles in a long singing and songwriting career where she was dubbed the “queen of disco.” She's especially known for her songs of the disco era of the late 1970s, including Last Dance.
