Alex ``A-Rod'' Rodriguez and ex-wife Cynthia Scurtis Rodriguez, owners of a bayfront estate in Coral Gables, just sold the one-acre-plus property -- for $8.5 million. They paid $12 million for the six-bedroom home at 181 E. Sunrise Ave. in December '04.
No word on the buyer's identity. Deal closed in the name of a trustee, Jorge Gaviria.
Coldwell Banker's Polly Schiff and Susy Dunand Silva (she's A-Rod's sister) represented the Rodriguezes. Raul and Javier Brizuela of Brizuela &Associates handled the sale for the buyers.
Cynthia Rodriguez is now renting a home on Miami Beach's Palm Island.
A-Rod has house-hunted on celeb-studded Star Island, as well as exclusive Indian Creek Island. But he's said to be looking to build on Miami Beach's North Bay Road.
