Another new Palm Beach house has hit the market with a look-at-me price $84 million, fully furnished.
The oceanfront house developed on speculation at 901 N. Ocean Blvd. entered the multiple listing service Friday, listed by agent Christopher Deitz of William Raveis South Florida.
Facing 175 feet of oceanfront, the Bermuda-style house was developed on a lot of 1.14 acres by longtime Palm Beach resident Keith Beaty and his son, Clark Beaty.
The main house has five bedrooms with a two-bedroom guesthouse. In all, the home has about 18,000 square feet of living space, inside and out, including a partial basement. Of the total space, 15,306 square feet is air conditioned.
A Palm Beach spec house that was once part of a lot belonging to former President Donald Trump is, according to an updated multiple listings service, under contract to sell for around $140 million.
The 21,000-square-foot mansion was the most expensive listing in a town already known for over-the-top estates and was, as first reported by the
Wall Street Journal, quietly placed on the market for $140 million a few weeks ago.
If the property closes for that price, as a source indicated it will, it would be the second expensive single-family home sold in the U.S. to date, just behind the Warner estate that Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos bought for $165 million last year.
The price falls just shy of the national record for a single-family home: the $165 million paid by Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos last year for a Los Angeles estate.
