The “ABBA House” Is on the Market For the First Time in Almost 40 Years

If you’ve ever wanted to say “I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do” to owning a piece of ABBA history, now’s your (very rare) chance to do so… if you have a spare $3,950,000.

According to reports, this stunning Florida property was once owned by the Swedish hitmakers, and it has hit the market for the first time in almost forty years.

Property records show that ABBA’s longtime financial manager, John Spalding, is cited on the home’s deed; he reportedly bought the property on the band’s behalf to enjoy as a winter retreat until it was sold to the current owners.

“Imagine the band members arriving at the home under the grand porte-cochère and beginning their time away from London in this home, custom designed for relaxation and fun,” the property description reads.

Located at 873 2nd Avenue South, this one-of-a-kind home offers waterfront views with direct access to Tampa Bay and the Gulf of Mexico. It was built in 1982 and, apart from recent updates including a renovated guest bath, new roof with skylights, and battery-ready solar panels, the property is suspended in time—think ’80s-inspired decor and subtle nods to the pop group that once resided there.

Ideal for a large family or those who often welcome guests, the 4,500 sq. ft. residence has six bedrooms, 4 full bathrooms, and two half-baths. The home is divided into two identical “mirrored” floor plans with each side including a downstairs master suite, loft area, and two bedrooms with a Jack-and-Jill bath. As you first enter the home, a large community space is framed by two-story vaulted ceilings, an impressive stone fireplace, kitchen, dining area and Florida room capturing views of Tampa Bay, and beyond.

Outside, a spacious pool deck provides ample room for entertaining. The property is equipped with two separate 2-car garages and electric shutters or plexiglass covers for all windows and sliders.

Situated in the sought-after Tierra Verde enclave, it’s the perfect base for fun and relaxation.
