Tennis Star Tommy Paul Exits Boca Market After Connecticut Purchase
Professional tennis player Tommy Paul has closed on the sale of his Boca Raton residence for $2.8 million, just three months after listing the property. The transaction comes after Paul and his fiancée purchased a Connecticut estate earlier this year.
Professional tennis player Tommy Paul has successfully sold his Boca Raton home for $2.8 million, completing the transaction just as the Madrid Open tennis tournament begins. The property at 828 Northwest 2nd Avenue changed hands three months after Paul initially listed it in January.
The sale represents a $300,000 gain for Paul, who purchased the residence for $2.5 million in 2023 according to property records. Alex Rybakov and Jonathan Mark Phillips of Keller Williams Realty Services represented the seller, while Ryan Fulton from the Corcoran Group brought the buyer to the transaction. The buyer's identity remains undisclosed as the deed has not yet appeared in public records.
The newly constructed home spans 3,000 square feet across a 0.2-acre lot and features five bedrooms, five full bathrooms, one half-bathroom, and a swimming pool. Built in 2023, the modern residence offered Paul a South Florida base during his professional tennis career.
Paul currently ranks as the third-best American male tennis player and holds the 18th position globally in men's singles competition. His real estate move follows his February purchase of a Connecticut property with fiancée Paige Lorenze, founder of clothing brand Dairy Boy. The couple paid $4.7 million for their 5-acre estate in Fairfield County after becoming engaged last summer.
The Boca Raton sale reflects ongoing celebrity interest in Palm Beach County's luxury real estate market. Paul's former residence sits within driving distance of Royal Palm Yacht & Country Club, where Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce rented accommodations during off-season training last year.
South Florida continues attracting high-profile athletes and entertainers seeking luxury properties. Former heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson acquired a lakefront mansion in Delray Beach for $13 million last year, while actor Mark Wahlberg invested $32.6 million in October for a spec home in the gated Stone Creek Ranch community near Delray Beach.
The timing of Paul's sale coincides with his active tournament schedule, as the Madrid Open represents one of the premier clay court events leading to the French Open. Professional tennis players often maintain multiple residences to accommodate training schedules and tournament travel throughout the global tennis calendar.
Paul's transition from Boca Raton to Connecticut suggests a strategic shift in his residential base, potentially offering better access to training facilities and tournament venues across the northeastern United States and Europe. The sale demonstrates the liquid nature of South Florida's luxury market, where well-positioned properties can attract buyers quickly even in premium price ranges.
