Former University of Florida football coach Steve Spurrier and his wife, Jerri, sold their oceanfront Crescent Beach home Jan. 26 for $4.4 million.
The Spurriers, who live in Gainesville, sold the property to Marc and Melissa Frydrychowicz.
The deed was recorded Jan. 28 with the St. Johns County Clerk of Court.
Property records show that the home was built in 2010 on 2.58 acres at 7630 Florida A1A S. in St. Augustine. The deed says it is on Anastasia Island, and the property is at Crescent Beach.
“It is bittersweet to sell this home that created so many wonderful memories for our family,” said Lisa Spurrier King, a Realtor with Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Thomas Group in Gainesville. She represented her parents in the sale.
“We hope the new owners experience the same love and happiness as they make this their home and create their own Crescent Beach memories,” King said Jan. 29.
Marketing descriptions say the three-level home, with elevator access, comprises five bedrooms, seven full and two half-bathrooms and balconies.
The ground floor features a full kitchen, dining and living room and two bedroom suites.
The upper level has a chef’s kitchen, master suite, a flex room and an office.
The lowest level has an enclosed walkway from a three-car garage that has a sauna, space for a gym and a storage room.
A suite above the garage has two bedrooms, two baths and a kitchenette.
Its total building area is 14,565 square feet and the conditioned area is 7,723 square feet.
There is a security gate.
Marketing materials show the home on 1.58 acres lot on the oceanfront.
The recorded real estate number includes a vacant 1-acre lot across Florida A1A on the Intracoastal Waterway.
King said the sale comprised both lots.
St. Johns County Property Appraiser records show the property straddles Florida A1A, with the developed home on the oceanfront and undeveloped property on the opposite site.
Chelsea French, with Realty Pros Assured in Ormond Beach, represented the buyer, King said.

Spurrier, 76, is an ambassador for the Florida Gators Athletic Department.
In August 2021, he opened Spurrier’s Gridiron Grille at Celebration Pointe in Gainesville. It includes a 600-square-foot memorabilia exhibit of items from his career.
It features Visors Tailgate + Rooftop Bar.
FloridaGators.com says Spurrier’s UF career started in 1963 when he came to Gainesville as a quarterback from Science Hill High School in Johnson City, Tennessee.
The site says Spurrier took over as the starting quarterback during his sophomore season in 1964 and won the Heisman Trophy as a senior in 1966 before the San Francisco 49ers chose him in the first round of the 1967 NFL Draft.
Spurrier rejoined the Gators as head coach in 1990, winning the school’s first Southeastern Conference title in 1991.
The Gators site said Spurrier was named SEC Coach of the Year five times at Florida and led the Gators to six conference titles.
He also helped UF win its first national title with a 52-20 win over Florida State in the 1997 Sugar Bowl.
Spurrier resigned in January 2002 and became head coach of the NFL’s then-named Washington Redskins. He resigned from the Washington team in December 2003. The team is expected to announce a new name Feb. 2.
Spurrier returned to college coaching in 2005 at South Carolina.
The Gators site said Spurrier retired from coaching during the 2015 season in his 11th season at South Carolina.
He finished his career with a record of 228-89-2 (.718) as a collegiate head coach.
Florida Field was renamed Steve Spurrier-Florida Field.
