NFL player Maurkice Pouncey, who played for the Florida Gators and was drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the first round of the 2010 NFL Draft, has purchased a newly constructe­d contempora­ry mansion in the Las Olas Isles neighborho­od of Fort Lauderdale for $5.4 million.

The 7,000-square-foot, three-story home, at 633 Coral Way, has six bedrooms, seven full and two half baths, a master suite, smart-home technology and an elevator. The third floor features a game room, an additional full kitchen and a rooftop terrace. Exterior features include 100 linear feet of water frontage, a pool, spa, concrete dock and summer kitchen.

Las Olas Isles consists of a series of finger islands off Las Olas Boulevard between the city and the beach. “It’s one of the most prestigiou­s waterfront communitie­s in east Fort Lauderdale,” said Peter Barkin, a real estate agent with Compass Florida LLC in Fort Lauderdale, who held the listing along with colleague Mark Gilman. “It’s the Venice of America and one of the most beautiful stretch of streets in Fort Lauderdale.” The neighborho­od is within walking distance of Las Olas Boulevard, Barkin said.

The property, which sits on a quarter-acre lot, was completed in 2020. It was listed in February for $5.895 million and sold on May 22. Adam Burke of Grandiose Real Estate represente­d Pouncey. The seller was S & Z Residentia­l LLC, managed by Zennon L.

Mierzwa.

“The advantages of this particular home are twofold,” Barkin said. “First, it sits one lot from the point, and the views of the New River, Intracoast­al Waterway and skyline from the kitchen, dock, bedrooms and rooftop are outstandin­g. Also, from a boater’s perspectiv­e, if you want a day at sea, the inlet to the ocean is just five or 10 minutes away.”

Pouncey, a center, has spent his entire career with the Steelers and played in eight Pro Bowls. He signed a two-year, $22 million contract extension with the Steelers in March 2019.
