The 10,501-square-foot house, with seven bedrooms, nine bathrooms and two half bathrooms, previously belonged to Henry and Susan McIntosh, who sold it in 2017 for $15 million. It was built in 1928 on more than a half-acre of land and includes a pool.

The property is across the street from the Ocean Course at The Breakers.
