Sydney Sweeney Buying New Oceanfront Home in South Florida
Sydney Sweeney will soon have the keys to a new estate in South Florida … a lavish, oceanfront mansion, and we’ve got pics of her already hanging out in her new ‘hood.
TMZ obtained these photos of Sydney down in the Sunshine State — we’re told she was grabbing a cup of java at a local coffee shop over Memorial Day weekend, and word in the area is she was in town for a housewarming party.
Sydney stands out anywhere she goes … and her custom blue Fiat 500 makes it even easier to spot her. She’s big into cars, of course, and she’s posted some social media videos showing her tooling around the new property.
Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ … Sydney is in the process of finalizing the deal for a new home there which is listed for just south of $20 million — although, it’s unclear what price she’ll end up paying for it. Negotiations are everything!
We’re told the property will expand her real estate portfolio — meaning, she’s also keeping the Los Angeles house she currently owns.
Fact is, Sydney spends most of her time on movie sets these days … but now she’s got options for where to catch some R&R between shoots — and our sources say she’ll spend a lot of time in Florida moving forward.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Can’t really blame her, TBH … Sydney’s new digs are simply amazing — the house sits on the water and is over 7,000 square feet of pure luxury.
It’s got all the bells and whistles, most notably a heated and chilled infinity pool with a swim-up bar, complete with underwater barstools.
The massive estate also has a chef’s kitchen, wine room, aquarium and sweeping views of the ocean and a canal. There’s even an elevator, a home gym and, for fun, a game room and a boat launch.
Assuming she can close without any issues, she’ll have a very sweet home sweet home!

Cuba says 4 killed after speedboat from Florida opened fire in Cuban waters
Trump threatens tariffs on countries that supply oil to Cuba
Trump warned Cuba to reach an agreement with the U.S. after signing an executive order to impose tariffs on countries that supply the island with oil.
HAVANA (Reuters) – Four people were killed and seven others were wounded on Feb. 25 after a speedboat from Florida entered Cuban waters and opened fire on Cuban forces, who returned fire, Cuba’s Interior Ministry said.
All four dead were aboard the Florida-based speedboat, and another six were injured, Cuba said. In addition, the Cuban commander of border patrol boat was wounded, Cuba said.
The wounded foreign attackers were evacuated and received medical attention, Cuba said.
The incident took place amid heightened tension between Cuba and the United States, which has blocked virtually all oil shipments to the island, increasing pressure on the Communist-run government. American forces captured Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro in Caracas on Jan. 3, removing a key Cuban ally from power.
“Faced with the current challenges, Cuba reaffirms its commitment to protecting its territorial waters, based on the principle that national defense is a fundamental pillar for the Cuban state in safeguarding its sovereignty and stability in the region,” the Cuban statement said.
