It’s not a tennis court, but it sure is a nice place to claim a win.
Tennis legend Mike Bryan, who reached the top of the pro tennis ranks in doubles with his twin brother Bob — and with whom he won an Olympic gold medal in 2012 — has sold his waterfront Florida home for $2.35 million in an all-cash deal, according to the Business Observer and a release from the listing brokerage.
Located in St. Pete Beach near St. Petersburg, the three-bedroom dwelling listed for $2.59 million earlier in the year. Its new owners, according to the publication, are a Minnesota couple named Sheri and Thomas Karnowski.
Bryan, 49, along with his wife Nadya, had owned it only since 2024, buying it at that time for $1.9 million in an LLC named Beyond the Baseline Coaching.
They reportedly purchased it as a vacation home, then spent a cool $300,000 on renovations. Their permanent base is roughly an hour’s drive away, in Wesley Chapel.
The home spans 2,182 square feet on Boca Ciega Bay. What’s more, it draws its aesthetic inspiration from the Soneva Fushi resort in the Maldives.
It stands replete with wood finishes and a split-roof design, which allows sunlight to flood throughout the interior. That design also allows the exterior to resemble the sails of a ship.
Nearly every room looks out to water views, while double-height ceilings and wide-open layouts provide modern comforts. A central courtyard with palm trees also helps bring the outdoors in.
The couple’s recent upgrades include new flooring, upgraded bathrooms and a redesigned kitchen. A custom area for kids has a catamaran-style hammock and play features — while outside perks include a private beach, a nine-person hot tub and a dock. Multiple balconies and terraces also add to the waterfront experience.
Johane Bucaille and Daniel Francis, of Coldwell Banker Realty, had the listing.
