A Palm Beach mansion sold for $30 million and a third off the seller’s original asking price as home sales pick up.
A trust sold 5 Via Sunny, which has eight bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms across a main house and a detached guest house, to 5 Via Sunny LLC. The trust and LLC are registered to law firms, masking their true owners.
The mansion spans about 8,400 square feet and sits on a 1-acre lot. The price amounts to $3,571 per square foot.
It has an elevator, pool and four-car garage. The main residence has six bedrooms, while the guest house has the other two.
The sale marks a 152 percent increase from the home’s prior trade of $11.9 million in 2007. But the $30 million price tag is about 33 percent lower than the nearly $45 million the seller asked for when it went on the market in April 2024. Several price cuts later, its last asking price was about $33 million.
Christian Angle with Christian Angle Real Estate had the listing, and Sotheby’s International Realty’s Laura Pope brought the buyer. Angle did not immediately return a request for comment, and Pope declined to comment.
