$19 million mansion sells in Delray Beach, setting new local home

A 21,000-square-foot megahome in South Florida is the most expensive non-oceanfront home ever sold in Delray Beach, and its $19 million sale price makes it the the town’s top sale in over three years, according to the MLS.  

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

The Rockybrook estate, which is located right next door to Sundara at 9192 Rockybrook Way, is comprised of seven bedrooms and 14 baths situated 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 it’s located about twenty miles south of Palm Beach and fifty miles north of Miami

Here’s what’s inside the record-breaking Delray Beach home:

The foyer has 32-foot ceilings and a grand double-staircase in a style Adzem describes as,  “modern classicism with throwback glam.” 

The great room walls are clad in white marble with inlayed stainless-steel laser cut into an arabesque design and polished to a mirror-like finish. The 32-foot wall-of-windows overlooking the backyard, Adzem says, are hurricane-proof.

“The amenity-rich property includes a 250,000-gallon heated pool that recalls the Wynn Las Vegas, as well as a grotto, summer kitchen and tennis court,” Adzem tells CNBC.

The backyard water-world includes fire features, waterfalls and a grand gazebo.

The home’s main kitchen has two massive white marble islands, two sinks, two dishwashers, two sub-zero refrigerators, two under counter Wolf ovens, and two more pairs of ovens built into a wall of custom cabinets.

Steps away from the main kitchen is an entirely separate chef’s kitchen.

The owner’s suite includes a kings-sized bed with a massive built-in leather upholstered headboard and glass doors that lead to a private terrace overlooking the home’s mega pool.

Her bath is covered in white marble and amethyst. The super-sized bathroom includes a fireplace and large crystal chandelier that hangs over the hot tub.

His walk-in closet includes leather-clad drawers and illuminated shelves.

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

The home’s “children’s wing,” as Adzem describes it, includes three ensuite-bedrooms,

a lounge, living room, kitchenette
