The Fleurants bought the home in 2017, the same year it was built, for $4.5 million, records show.

The house hit the market last year at $7 million, then dropped to $6.9 million in August, according to the listing.

The 7,753-square-foot house has six bedrooms, five full bathrooms and two half-baths. The outdoor area features 100 feet of direct Intracoastal Waterway access, a 45-foot boat dock with a boat lift and a pool.

The North Palm Beach sale is among many other high-priced deals this year. A race car driver sold his waterfront home for $5.3 million, Rockstar Energy Drink founder Russell Weiner flipped his North Palm Beach homes for more than $48 million, and a former ambassador to Austria bought a house for $6 million.
