Former Minnesota Vikings quarterback and Pro Football Hall of Famer Fran Tarkenton has purchased a renovated five-bedroom mansion in Palm Beach, Florida, for $51.89 million, according to property records cited by Palm Beach Daily News in a Times of India report.
The 86-year-old Tarkenton bought the Mediterranean-style residence at 1620 South Ocean Boulevard through the Tarkenton Revocable Trust. The property is situated on a corner lot of more than half an acre on a stretch known as Billionaires Row, located a little over a mile south of Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago Club.
The sellers, Anthony and Lynda Lomangino, previously acquired the home for $12.65 million in 2019 before performing an extensive renovation. The house, which was built in 2006, was described in a listing as being rebuilt from the roof down and includes features such as a new roof, impact-resistant windows, and a new air-conditioning system.
The mansion offers more than 10,000 square feet of space and includes a kitchen with a La Cornue stove, an elevator, and a three-car garage. The property also features private beach access and an open-air dining loggia overlooking a courtyard with a swimming pool and whirlpool spa.
Tarkenton's agent, Jana Scarpa of Compass Florida, told Homes.com News that Tarkenton and his wife, Linda, had visited Palm Beach for years. Scarpa, who also represented the Lomanginos during their 2019 purchase, said the sale brought the process "full circle."
