Laura Andrassy, first wife of golfer Greg Norman, sells Palm Beach home for $24.29M: deed
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
Laura Andrassy has sold, for a recorded $24.29 million, the Palm Beach custom home she built in the years following her divorce in 2008 from Australian golf legend Greg Norman.
Andrassy owned the house at 167 Dunbar Road through a trust and sold it to HousePoor LLC, a Delaware-registered limited liability company with a mailing address on Hommocks Road in Larchmont, New York. The deed recorded Thursday.
Andrassy bought the lot vacant for a recorded $3.25 million in 2010 and completed her custom home there in 2016, property records show.
With West Indies-style architecture, the house has five bedrooms and 7,514 square feet of living space, inside and out, property records show.
The ocean-block lot measures two-fifths of an acre and stands a little less than a half-mile north of The Breakers’ oceanfront golf course.
The property was listed at $28 million when it sold but had carried a price tag as high as $35 million while it was on the market, the multiple listing service shows. The MLS reported the sale price as $26 million, or about $1.7 million higher than the price recorded with the deed. The sales listing said the furniture in the house was “negotiable,” but public records don’t show if any furnishings changed hands in the deal.
The layout includes a formal living room and an “entertainer’s dream” bar-and-lounge with walk-in wine storage, according to the sales listing. The center-island kitchen has a nearby butler’s pantry and is open to the family room. French doors lead to the pool patio and an outdoor loggia with a fireplace. The second-floor primary suite has its own terrace and two bathrooms.

Agents at two real estate agencies were on the listing side of the sale: Morgan Dillavou of Florida Living Realty of Hobe Sound; and Michelle Thomson of The Thomson Team at Coldwell Banker Realty’s Pinecrest/Miami office.
Dillavou is the daughter of Andrassy and Norman. Thomson is married to their son, Greg Norman Jr.
The same agents represented the buyer of the house on Dunbar Road.
Dillavou declined to comment. Andrassy, Thomson and a representative of the buying entity could not be immediately reached.
In 2007, Andrassy purchased a 4,900-square-foot house at 161 Main St. in Palm Beach for a recorded $3.95 million.
The following year, her 25-year marriage to Norman ended in a highly publicized divorce that reportedly awarded her more than $100 million.
Andrassy, who is single, was the first of Norman’s three wives. His subsequent marriage to tennis star Chris Evert ended in divorce in 2009.
Norman today is married to Kirsten Kutner. He and his wife moved to Palm Beach Gardens after they sold their Jupiter Island estate in 2021 for $55 million.
