A rare two-home compound on the near North End of Palm Beach has quietly sold for a combined $25 million, with Elizabeth DeWoody of Compass Florida representing the buyers.
Designed by the late Palm Beach architect Gene Lawrence, the contemporary-style residences at 150 Dunbar Road and 151 Atlantic Avenue were originally built in the early 2000s for the Racy family of São Paulo, Brazil, and had remained under the same ownership for more than two decades. Together, the properties span nearly 11,200 total square feet across two parcels totaling about 0.7 acres, unified by a shared swimming pool and cohesive architectural design that create the feeling of a single private estate.
The larger residence on Dunbar Road features expansive, light-filled living spaces organized around a glass atrium, while the adjoining Atlantic Avenue home served as a separate guest residence—perfect for extended family or seasonal entertaining.
The transaction, completed off-market, reflects the continued strength of Palm Beach’s quiet sale market, where discerning buyers and sellers often prefer confidentiality and trusted relationships over public exposure.
For buyers, these transactions offer access to one-of-a-kind properties long before they reach the open market. For sellers, they provide a private path to qualified, verified buyers while maintaining discretion—an approach that has become increasingly valued in today’s luxury market.
Through Compass Private Exclusives, Elizabeth provides her clients with the ability to buy and sell privately, leveraging Compass’s nationwide network to match properties with the right audience without ever appearing online or in the MLS.
As Elizabeth notes, “Securing off-market deals requires strong local relationships and skillful negotiating.” Her trusted reputation, deep Palm Beach network, and proven record of success continue to make her a sought-after advisor for buyers seeking exclusivity and sellers seeking privacy.
