A New York hedge funder purchased a waterfront Boca Raton home for $7 million.
Property records show Leonard B. Zelin and his wife, Moira S. Zelin, bought the house at 4216 Intracoastal Drive from Adam Buss, as a trustee of the Riverfront Trust.
Zelin is the founder of New York City-based Precision Capital Partners, a hedge fund that invests in U.S. exchange-listed equities and options, according to published reports. Founded in 2004, Precision Capital has $2.2 billion in assets under management, according to its website.
The 7,560-square-foot house was built in 2012 and sits on about a quarter acre. It has five bedrooms, five full bathrooms and one half-bathroom, according to the records. The home last sold in 2019 for $4.7 million.
