$ 19 million mansion for sale in Delray Beach, setting new local home sales record

A 21,000-square-foot megahome in South Florida is the most expensive ocean-view home ever sold in Delray Beach, and its $ 19 million sale price makes it the city’s best-selling in three years. , according to MLS.

“Resort-style living is a driving force in the ultra-luxury market,” listing agent Senada Adzem told CNBC. “People are rethinking their way of life – their desires and needs – as a result of the pandemic.”

The property, known as the Rockybrook estate, was initially listed at $ 23.5 million in May, amid the pandemic. Adzem says that in the first month on the market, the house could only be visited virtually thanks to Covid-19. The price was reduced to just over $ 21.9 million before selling for $ 19 million earlier this month.

According to MLS, last year’s highest price sale in Delray Beach was $ 17 million for 9200 Rockybrook Way, known as the Sundara property. The 18,000-square-foot mansion was also represented by Adzem, whose team closed more than $ 200 million in sales during the pandemic, which was his team’s best year of all time, according to real estate brokerage firm Douglas Elliman.

The Rockybrook property, located just off Sundara at 9192 Rockybrook Way, has seven bedrooms and 14 bathrooms on a 2.5-acre lot located in a private community called Stone Creek Ranch. The gated neighborhood has a total of 37 estates and is located approximately twenty miles south of Palm Beach and fifty miles north of Miami.

Here’s what’s in the Delray Beach record house:

The foyer has a 32-foot ceiling and a large double staircase in a style that Adzem describes as “modern classicism with glamor back”.

The large walls of the room are clad in white marble with inlaid stainless steel, laser cut in an Arabic design and polished to a mirror-like finish. The wall of the 32-meter windows overlooking the courtyard, says Adzem, is resistant to hurricanes.

“The rich property includes a 250,000-gallon heated pool reminiscent of Wynn Las Vegas, as well as a cave, a summer kitchen and a tennis court,” Adzem told CNBC.

The water world in the backyard includes fire elements, waterfalls and a grand gazebo.

The main kitchen of the house has two massive white marble islands, two sinks, two dishwashers, two refrigerators below zero, two under Wolf ovens and two more pairs of ovens embedded in a wall of custom cabinets.

A few steps from the main kitchen is a completely separate kitchen of the chef.

The owner’s suite includes a king-size bed with a massive upholstered leather headboard and glass doors leading to a private terrace overlooking the house’s mega pool.

Her bathroom is covered with white marble and amethyst. The larger bathroom includes a large crystal fireplace and chandelier, which hangs over the hot tub.

His walker includes leather-lined drawers and lighted shelves.

Her closet has a glass-covered island for storing accessories, three crystal chandeliers and floor-to-ceiling shelves and cabinets.

The “children’s wing” of the house, as described by Adzem, includes three bedrooms with private bathroom,

a living room, living room, kitchenette

and a two-lane bowling alley.

The wine storage room is a combination of glass and polished steel designed to create the illusion of wine bottles floating in the air.

The dining room has fourteen people under a mother-of-pearl-lined ceiling.

The house’s clubby lounge includes a bar flanked by two wine coolers, a stone-covered wall lit from behind, and over a dozen pendant lights hanging above a stone bar.

There is also a salon and a treatment room.

And a 20-person cinema with a retro-Hollywood theme. The reclining seats are upholstered in imported Italian leather, and the surround sound system is seamlessly integrated into the backlit walls.

The sellers were Bradley Cohen, co-founder of Insurance Care Direct and Sandra Cohen, founder of Baciami Moda, the buyer of the house remains undisclosed.
