Rosie O’Donnell Sells West Palm Beach Home Filled With Family Memories

After sharing a series of social media posts of her friends and family bidding farewell to her Florida vacation home, Rosie O’Donnell sold the estate in West Palm Beach for $5 million.

The home, which was initially listed in December 2016 for $6 million, is just 6 miles from President Donald Trump‘s Mar-a-Lago. It’s possible her not-so-private feelings about her high-profile neighbor were behind her decision to take a discount on the mansion’s price.

But based on the sweet photos O’Donnell recently shared on social media, the house was a special place where her family made plenty of happy memories.

Built in 1957 and extensively remodeled and updated over the years, the mansion has five bedrooms and 6.5 bathrooms. It comes with a one-bedroom, one-bathroom guesthouse, which the listing says is “ideal for nanny or boat captain.”

The 1-acre property has 178 feet of water frontage and a deep-water dock. There’s a fire pit out back that’s perfect for hanging out and watching the boats cruise by.

And here’s O’Donnell herself looking relaxed and cozy by the fire pit just before the new year, surrounded by kids’ toys.

Inside, the home has a bright (and huge!) family room.

Here’s a recent photo O’Donnell shared of one of her kiddos curled up with a tablet on the family room floor.

Most family fun eventually ends up in the kitchen, and this home has a comfy space made for congregating with friends and family.

O’Donnell also shared a photo of the kitchen filled with friends and family on New Year’s Eve with an inspirational message to kick off 2018.

When you don’t care to swim in the ocean, there’s a waterfront pool right in the backyard.

O’Donnell also tweeted a photo of a girl and her dog enjoying a sunny New Year’s Day in the same pool.

O’Donnell and her family seem genuinely sad to let the home go. This caption on Instagram says it all.

The O’Donnell clan still has plenty of places to call home. According to Variety, the “SMILF” co-star, “View” co-host, and outspoken activist holds a large real estate portfolio. In July 2017, she bought an $8 million New York City penthouse triplex, and she owns homes in the New York City area and in South Nyack.
