David Cassidy’s Former South FL Home Sells For $2.6M: Report

FORT LAUDERDALE, FL — The former Fort Lauderdale home of musician David Cassidy was purchased by a Los Angeles-based real estate investor for $2.6 million, The Real Deal reported.

Cassidy, a 1970s teen idol thanks to his role on the “The Partridge Family,” died of liver failure in 2017.

The pop star purchased the home in 2001 with his then-wife, Susan Shifrin, for $1.1 million. Cassidy gave up the home — along with other assets — when he filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy during the couple’s divorce, reports said.

Investor Amy Raff and her husband, Abe Rotchel, plan to rent out the 7,167-square-foot home at 1600 South Ocean Drive initially, reports said. It’s currently listed for rent through Coldwell Banker for $25,000 a month.

“We’ll keep it rented until we can draw up plans and modernize the house,” Raff told The Real Deal.

She’s seeking architects and contractors to work with renovating the house. She’s also reached out to producers about televising the renovation, reports said.

The six-bedroom home sits on a 19,183-square-foot lot on Mayan Lake, reports said. It boasts six bathrooms, one half-bath, a pool, a dock, a home gym and a gazebo.
