House in Trump security zone is listed for $12.5 million
Another Palm Beach house is up for grabs in the security zone that borders President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago Club. The four-bedroom house at 112 Algoma Road is priced at $12.5 million and is a potential tear-down, according to the May 20 sales listing. The street is the third one north of Mar-a-Lago in the neighborhood that closes to through-traffic when the president is in residence at his private club. Built in 1952, the one-story house on Algoma Road is being marketed in the local multiple listing service in two categories – single-family homes and land. With 2,930 total square feet, the Bermuda-style house stands on a non-waterfront lot of about a third of an acre. It's the second house west of South Ocean Boulevard, which divides a row of direct-beachfront homes from the rest of the Estate Section. The house has been in the same family for nearly 45 years. Property records show its owned through a trust by Joyce S. Vaughn, who has it homesteaded as her primary residence in the latest Palm Beach County tax rolls. She bought the house for a recorded $385,000 in 1981 with her late husband, management-consulting executive Clother Hathaway Vaughn III. He died in 2019 at 85. Agent Margit Brandt of Premier Estate Properties holds the listing, which describes the property as having a 'bespoke' location with a 'truly elite level of privacy' and nearby deeded beach access. The listing says the house has a swimming pool but provides no details about the home's interior. 'Looking at the market today, 112 Algoma is the only dry lot available for sale in Palm Beach's Estate Section,' Brandt told the Palm Beach Daily News. 'It is also the only piece of land publicly available (in the MLS's land category) in the presidential security zone adjacent to Mar-a-Lago. This presents a special opportunity for a buyer to build their dream home in one of the most coveted, exclusive locations in the world.' Since early December, six residential properties in the Mar-a-Lago security zone have sold at prices ranging from $12 million to $27.5 million. Among those sales was another on Algoma Road. In December, that never-lived-in, five-bedroom house developed on speculation at 130 Algoma Road changed hands for a recorded $14.3 million. Two other houses are 'active' listings in the MLS's single-family category in the same neighborhood. An estate at 160 Clarendon Ave. is offered at $48.85 million by broker Lawrence Moens of Lawrence A. Moens Associates, while a house at 1048 S. Ocean Blvd. is listed at $23.95 million by agent Elizabeth DeWoody of Compass Florida. One other neighborhood house is listed in the 'pending' category of the MLS, meaning it is under contract. That's a four-bedroom house at 142 Via Palma with 7,633 total square feet, listed by Brandt at $18.95 million. When Trump is at Mar-a-Lago, security officers shut down South Ocean Boulevard in the neighborhood, opening the road only to property owners or their authorized visitors, representatives or workers. The security zone runs north from the club property for seven blocks, or about half a mile, to South County Road. Because the area is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean on one side and the Intracoastal Waterway on the other, the roadblock effectively divides the town in two, forcing through-traffic to detour across bridges into West Palm Beach and back.

Check out this home on a Florida golf course that just sold for $17.5 million
Check out this home on a Florida golf course that just sold for $17.5 million The 1930s-era house on El Bravo Way is about a mile-and-a-half south of Mar-a-Lago. The house was the longtime home of Ann Summers and her late husband, Peter. A trust was on the buyer's side. The landmarked family home of the late investments adviser and businessman Peter Summers and his widow, real estate agent Ann Summers, has sold in Palm Beach for $17.5 million, the price recorded with the deed. The 1930s-era house at 215 El Bravo Way stands on one of the so-called 'El Streets,' which are considered prime real estate in the Estate Section, the historic neighborhood that is also home to President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago Club. Along with neighboring El Vedado Road and El Brillo Way, the streets are renowned for their history, handsome architecture and proximity to shopping and dining options in Midtown. A trust named after the property's address was on the buyer's side of the sale, the deed recorded May 14 shows. The document lists West Palm Beach real estate attorney Maura Ziska as trustee of the 215 El Bravo Trust. Ziska declined to comment about the sale, and because of rules governing trusts, no other information about the buyer was immediately available in pubic records. The two-story house is the second one west of North County Road with windows and glass doors that look across Island Road to the Everglades Club's golf course. The property is about 1½ miles south of Mar-a-Lago. The Monterey-style house has six bedrooms and 7,366 square feet of living space, inside and out. It stands on a lot measuring two-fifths of an acre, property records show. The house was designed in 1934 by society architect Howard Major, who drew up plans for a number of Palm Beach houses in the Monterey style. The focal point of the main façade is a second-story cantilevered balcony with an ornamental metal railing. Among its distinctions, the residence was owned in the 1930s by silent film star Norma Talmadge and her husband, comedian George Jessel, according to a 2020 report prepared for the Landmarks Preservation Commission. The house earned landmark status in March 2020. Peter Summers paid a recorded $2.2 million for the house in 1993, courthouse records show. After his death at age 81 in 2024, ownership passed to his widow and two children from his first marriage — Bliss Elizabeth Summers and George Ellis Summers Jr. The just-recorded deed lists all three as the sellers of the house. 'We were there for some 30-odd years,' Ann Summers told the Palm Beach Daily News. 'It's a lovely house on an 'El' Street. I lived on El Brillo (many years ago) and then on El Bravo — they are the best streets in town.' Peter Summers was an avid outdoorsman who once worked as an African safari guide. His career expanded to include financial services, real estate development and the cattle industry, according to his obituary. He began his corporate career with E.F. Hutton and Co. in 1971 and retired in 1999 from Alex. Brown. He also worked in real estate development in Florida and as a commercial cattleman in the Sunshine State and Virginia. Ann Summers sells real estate as an agent with Brown Harris Stevens' Palm Beach office. She and Peter Summers were married when he bought the house on El Bravo Way. Summers is downsizing to a Palm Beach lakeview apartment in a Midtown co-operative building at 369 S. Lake Trail, she said. She bought that two-bedroom penthouse with for about $4 million in January, property records show. Broker Christian Angle of Christian Angle Real Estate handled both sides of the just-recorded sale on El Bravo Way. He listed the property at the tail end of August 2024 at $23.95 million, a price that had dropped to $19.95 million by the middle of January, records in the multiple listing service shows. Angle could not immediately be reached for comment. The sales listing described the property as offering 'serene outdoor living' with tropical landscaping and a covered poolside loggia accessed from the house through French doors. 'The garden is absolutely beautiful,' Ann Summers said. She added: 'The garden comes alive at nighttime,' thanks to landscape lighting and the light from the pool. Among the property's other notable features, the listing said, are a cabana room with a bar and an oversize family room with a fireplace and wood-beamed ceilings. The layout also includes a living room with a fireplace as well as a formal dining room. The house's landmark designation protects exterior walls viewable from the street from significant changes without the permission of the Landmarks Preservation Commission. The Summerses supported the effort to designate the house a landmark, town records show. The Monterey style is a fusion of architectural revival styles, including Spanish Colonial, British Colonial and French Creole. It originated in California and was especially popular in the United States in the 1930s and 1940s, according to architectural historians. 'This is a really lovely house that will be a great addition to the town's landmark list," former landmarks board Chairman Ted Cooney said when the house was landmarked five years ago. 'Major was a master of the Monterey style ... having [a Major design] preserved in such an important neighborhood makes a lot of sense to me.' A second-story addition and the pool cabana were added to the rear of the house in 1992, according to the landmarks report. But apart from that, changes over the years were minimal, according to the report. The house was originally part of El Bravo Park, a 27-acre, ocean-to-lake property bought by engineer Frank Clements, a winter resident and engineer who intended to create his own estate. But Clements, responding to demand for villa sites, divided the property into 36 lots and two streets — El Bravo Way and El Brillo Way. In 1921, first-generation Palm Beach architects Addison Mizner and Marion Sims Wyeth were the first two architects to design villas in El Bravo Park, according to the landmarks report. dhofheinz@ (This story was updated to add new information.)

Donald Trump becomes a grandfather as daughter welcomes baby boy, Alexander Trump Boulos
Tiffany Trump with her husband Michael Boulos on their wedding. The couple this week welcomed their first child, a boy named Alexander Trump Boulos. Image: Instagram/Se-Anne Rall Tiffany Trump has announced the birth of her first child. The daughter of US President Donald Trump, 31, had the baby with husband Michael Boulos, 27, and she shared the news in a joint post with her partner on social media by posting an image of her cradling her newborn's foot. She captioned the image: 'Welcome to the world our sweet baby boy, Alexander Trump Boulos. We love you beyond words! Thank you for coming into our lives! 5.15.2025." The couple's son, born on 15 May, is the first grandchild of Donald Trump, 78. News of Tiffany's pregnancy was first made public in October 2024, when Trump announced it during remarks at the Detroit Economic Club. He said: 'He happens to be the father of Tiffany's husband, Michael, who's a very exceptional young guy. And she's an exceptional young woman. And she's going to have a baby. So that's nice.' A spokesperson for Tiffany confirmed the pregnancy shortly after the speech. Tiffany, the only child of Trump and his second wife Marla Maples, married Michael in November 2022. The ceremony took place at the Trump family's Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach, Florida. Michael is the son of Dr Massad Boulos, a Lebanese-born businessman whose family owns a multibillion-dollar conglomerate operating in Nigeria. He and Tiffany couple reportedly met in 2018 while attending an event at Lindsay Lohan's club in Mykonos, Greece. They announced their engagement in January 2021, the day before Trump left office after his first term as president. Tiffany shared the news with followers in a post showing the couple smiling on the White House lawn, writing: 'It has been an honour to celebrate many milestones, historic occasions and create memories with my family here at the White House, none more special than my engagement to my amazing fiancé Michael! Feeling blessed and excited for the next chapter!' According to a source cited by People, Michael proposed in the White House Rose Garden with a $1.2 million diamond ring. Tiffany studied law at Georgetown University and has largely stayed out of the political spotlight, though she did speak at the 2020 Republican National Convention. Bang Showbiz
