Situated on the tranquil shores of Ibis Isle, the newly completed home at 2291 Ibis Isle Rd E in Palm Beach epitomizes modern luxury. Spanning over 5,200 square feet, this residence seamlessly blends contemporary design with state-of-the-art technology. Listed at $13,895,000, the property sold for $12,500,000 after just 104 days on the market, highlighting its exceptional appeal.
Christopher Deitz and Michael Costello of Compass represented the seller's side while The Kraver Team at Douglas Elliman, which includes Sasha Kraver Aronberg along with her mother Valentina and her sister Isabella, represented the buyer. “Despite market fluctuations nationwide, Palm Beach Island has continued to maintain and even increase its value," Sasha explains. "The North End and central Palm Beach Island have seen substantial growth, while Ibis Isle, once considered a quieter area, is now gaining prominence as a luxury destination. It offers a better value compared to the North End and is conveniently located just minutes from Worth Avenue and the Southern bridge.”
The approach to this home sets the tone for its refined elegance. The sleek architecture, framed by lush greenery, stands gracefully against the Intracoastal Waterway's shimmering backdrop. Floor-to-ceiling windows dominate the facade, inviting the warm Florida sun to flood the interior and offering breathtaking, uninterrupted views of the water. This integration of indoor and outdoor spaces creates a sense of openness and tranquility that is immediately striking.
Upon entering, the home's sophisticated design is immediately apparent. Natural light pours in through expansive glass walls, enhancing the airy, welcoming ambiance. The state-of-the-art Crestron Smart Home System provides effortless control of lighting, music, and climate, making luxury living both convenient and intuitive. With a simple touch, the environment adjusts to your preferences, redefining modern comfort.
The gourmet kitchen is a centerpiece of the home, designed to cater to both casual cooks and professional chefs. High-end appliances, custom cabinetry, and a thoughtfully designed layout make it both functional and visually stunning. The marble used in the bathrooms and around the fireplace adds an element of timeless elegance, meticulously matched to ensure a cohesive aesthetic throughout the home.
Stepping outside, the backyard reveals a lush, private oasis. A large heated lap pool sparkles under the Florida sun, accompanied by a spa that invites relaxation. The spacious covered loggia is ideal for al fresco dining, offering a perfect setting for entertaining or enjoying quiet moments with serene waterfront views. This outdoor space embodies the essence of indoor-outdoor living, blending luxury with natural beauty.
The appeal of South Florida has surged post-COVID, with many buyers drawn to the area’s favorable tax environment, warm climate, and relaxed lifestyle. “The shift to remote work has made South Florida an attractive option for those seeking a change,” Sasha explains. “Luxury buyers are drawn here for lower real estate taxes, better weather, and a more relaxed lifestyle. Additionally, the growth of downtown West Palm Beach, dubbed the ‘Wall Street of the South,’ has made the area even more appealing.”
Sasha observes that many post-COVID buyers are relocating from the Northeast, including New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut. “A significant number of our clients are former ‘snowbirds’ looking to make Palm Beach County their permanent home,” she adds. In Sasha's opinion, the importance of local expertise in finding the right property cannot be overstated. “Palm Beach County is vast, and finding the best fit for your needs requires a knowledgeable guide,” Sasha advises. “Whether you’re interested in privacy, square footage, or amenities, a local realtor can provide essential insights and help you navigate the market.”
The growth of North County, including Palm Beach Gardens, Jupiter, and North Palm Beach, reflects a trend of young professionals and families seeking better value and a more comfortable lifestyle. “Real estate is fundamentally about relationships,” Sasha concludes. “From understanding each client’s unique needs to collaborating with top agents and agencies, we strive to provide exceptional service and make the moving process as smooth as possible.”
The home at 2291 Ibis Isle Rd E is more than just a residence—it represents a luxurious lifestyle that harmonizes contemporary design with the natural beauty of Palm Beach. It’s a prime example of the elegance and convenience that define the area, offering a perfect blend of indoor-outdoor living and sophisticated comfort.
