UPDATED, Nov. 5, 5 p.m.: A private equity honcho sold a Palm Beach home for $23.3 million, underscoring the continued strength of South Florida’s luxury single-family housing market.

Amanda and Alexander Coleman, a managing partner at Austin, Texas-based Providence Management LLC, sold 216 Angler Avenue in Palm Beach, to a Delaware LLC that shares the same name as the property, records show.

The 8,483-square-foot house was completed this year, according to Realtor.com. The half-acre property last sold for $2.6 million in February 2018, records show.

After their purchase, the Colemans contracted with Thomas B. Cushing Demolition to tear down the previous home on the site, and hired AMC Custom Builders to construct the new house.

According to Realtor.com, the seven-bedroom home was listed in August for $28.8 million. Lawrence Moens with Lawrence A. Moens Associates had the listing.

Dana Koch and Paulette Koch of the Corcoran Group represented the buyer.
