    This $30 Million Urban Compound in Lower Manhattan Comes With Private Parking

    by

    Neil Burger, best known for directing the TV series Limitless and Billions, and his wife, architect Diana Kellogg, are saying goodbye to one of the most unusual homes in New York City. After more than 20 years on a tiny, cobblestoned street in Tribeca famous for its frequently photographed cast-iron skybridge, they are listing their one-of-a-kind two-building compound for $30 million. 

    In a city that is always short on space, the idea of a personal compound feels almost mythical, especially one that blends work, living, and privacy so seamlessly. The offering includes a three-bedroom townhouse that spans a little more than 4,000 square feet, a separate creative studio and office space across the street with about 2,500 square feet, and a private gated parking area that will accommodate two or three cars. 

    Exposed brick, chestnut beams, and oversized windows define the living room, anchored by a wood-burning fireplace.

    Listed by Jeremy V. Stein and Kat Trappe of Sotheby’s International Realty, the townhouse dates to the 1860s and still shows hints of its early life as a workshop and storefront. Kellogg, whose clients include Bob Dylan and Daniel Day Lewis, kept the building’s industrial character intact while turning it into a warm home with exposed brick, original chestnut beams, and oversized windows that pour in sunlight. The main level has soaring ceilings and a wood-burning fireplace, plus a chef’s kitchen with cabinets custom crafted from old Coney Island lockers. Upstairs, the couple created a peaceful primary suite with vaulted ceilings, a dressing room, and a marble bath, while the lower level that once held play spaces for their kids has evolved into a guest suite and media den.

    The 19th-century townhouse is capped by a 1,000-square-foot rooftop deck.

    One of the home’s most-loved features is the 1,000-square-foot roof deck that looks straight onto the skybridge. It feels private in a way that is rare downtown. Marketing materials indicate there are “potentially available air rights of 3 additional stories,” which opens the door to expansion if a future owner wants even more room.

    The annex across the street became a convenient place for the couple to work. Burger used it for editing and writing, while Kellogg filled it with renderings and models. At the street-level entrance, there’s a lounge/conference area with four windowed rooms, plus a kitchenette and half-bath, downstairs. The car park, not quite ten feet wide and almost 50 feet long, is situated behind a locked gate directly across from the townhouse.

      The Beckhams Live Across the Street From This Freshly Revamped $10 Million Miami Beach Home

      by

      Since 2022, Josh Flagg has doled out millions on properties spanning from coast to coast, among them a Beverly Hills fixer-upper and, in the same 90210 neighborhood, a Rex Lotery-designed home that was previously owned by singer Charlie Puth. He also has a commercial building in downtown Manhattan, a spread in East Hampton’s tony Georgica section, and, bought as an investment with partners in 2023, a Mediterranean villa on Miami Beach’s ultra-exclusive North Bay Road that just happens to be right across the street from David and Victoria Beckham’s sleek $72 million waterfront mansion.

      Now, the Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles star and real estate broker is ready to thin his property portfolio, asking a dash under $10 million for his non-waterfront digs in Miami Beach. Jordan Karp of Jordan Karp LLC holds the listing.

      The primary bedroom has a morning bar and arched steel-framed glass doors opening to the outside.

      Flagg Family Capital, the family’s private real estate investment arm, and his Carolwood LP partners, Adam Rubin and Andrew Shanfeld, plunked down $4.25 million in cash for the residence that’s currently up for grabs and then gave it a ground-up rebuild in collaboration with Gary Eisner of BuiltIN Studio.

      Completed this year and set on a gated parcel spanning just under a quarter of an acre, the stucco and terracotta-roof structure that currently stands in the stead of a former 1930s house offers four bedrooms and six baths in roughly 4,000 square feet across two levels. Warm, cream-hued interiors boast new wood floors, arched doorways, and soaring vaulted ceilings, while amenities include a detached pool house with a sauna and cold plunge, a powder room, and an outdoor shower.

      Standing out is a wood-beamed living room sporting the original limestone fireplace and a row of steel-framed glass doors spilling outside, as well as a formal dining room topped with a dangling chandelier and a sleek gourmet kitchen with white oak cabinetry, a wine fridge, and Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances. An opulent primary suite is decked out with a morning bar-equipped sitting area and a travertine-clad bath flaunting dual vanities and a huge freestanding soaking tub.

      Topping it all off are the lush palm-laced grounds, which host a large pool with a spa and a Baja shelf alongside several spots for alfresco lounging and entertaining. There’s also an attached two-car garage out front.

      As for Flagg’s decision to depart the Sunshine State, the TV celeb said he’s really not leaving because he never even spent one night there. “Once the noise dies down, I’ll probably just buy everything back again,” he added. “I invest where it’s the right place at the right time.”

      ‘My Unorthodox Life’ Star Julia Haart’s Tribeca Penthouse Lists for $65 Million

      by

      Though they initiated divorce proceedings in early 2022 after only three years of marriage, the lavish Tribeca penthouse that fashion designer and TV personality Julia Haart and her now ex-husband Silvio Scaglia once shared has only now become available for sale.

      Scaglia, an Italian businessman, acquired the unit via an LLC for $56 million in 2018 while it was still under construction, but it was granted to Haart once the couple’s divorce was finalized earlier this month after a bitter court battle. Now, after placing the home on the rental market at $125,000 a month, she’s decided to put the lavish aerie that appeared in her unscripted Netflix series My Unorthodox Life on the market. The asking price is a whopping $65 million, with Adam Modlin of the Modlin Group holding the listing.

      A living room with blonde hardwood floors and blue walls overlooks the Hudson River.

      The 13-room duplex sits atop a 14-story limestone building designed by Robert A.M. Stern Architects and is sited along the lower Manhattan waterfront. Six bedrooms and five full baths, plus three powder rooms, are spread across roughly 7,800 square feet of colorful living space. Walls of glass, two terraces, and a wraparound rooftop deck offer sweeping city skyline, Hudson River, and Statue of Liberty views.

      A private elevator landing on the upper level opens into a double-height entry foyer before flowing to an expansive corner living room featuring a two-way ceramic fireplace designed by Brooklyn artist Peter Lane that connects to a crimson-hued dining room. Elsewhere is a kitchen with a La Cornue range, as well as a library, solarium, and study that all spill out to an expansive south-facing terrace.

      Holding court on the lower level is another kitchen sporting a marble-topped eat-in island, Miele appliances, and a breakfast nook, plus access to an alfresco dining terrace. In addition to a media room and a bedroom that’s been converted into a den, the primary suite hosts a separate sitting area, a massive dressing room with customized wardrobes, and an elegant marble bath.

      As for the common charges, the new owner will pay a hefty $21,342 per month for the privilege of living in the building, where its many premium benefits include a 24-hour doorman and concierge, two parking spaces, private storage, and a wellness level with four pools, a steam room and sauna, a fitness center, and a squash court.

      It’s been over a decade since Moscow-born Haart left an ultra-Orthodox Jewish community at age 42 and went on to launch a fashion career and star on My Unorthodox Life. Now, after her recent divorce victory, she’s gained full control of the duplex she lived in with Scaglia, along with control over Freedom Holding, the business they ran during their marriage, and nearly $10 million in cash. The former La Perla creative director currently has her own luxury shapewear and clothing brand, Body by Julia Haart.

      Jane Russell’s Former Creekside Idyll in Santa Barbara Just Listed for $8.25 Million

      by

      Golden Age siren Jane Russell received her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1960, at the same time as her Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953) co-star Marilyn Monroe—their hand and footprints are in the forecourt of Graumann’s Chinese Theater—and in the 1970s and ’80s she was the ubiquitous spokesperson for Playtex bras and girdles.

      In 1985, the year before her last on-screen appearance in an episode of Hunter, she and her third and last husband, real estate broker John Peoples, bought a Santa Barbara estate that she sold for close to its $1.9 million asking price in 2000, the year following Peoples’ death. The property last changed hands in 2005 for $2.12 million, and now, the creekside compound has returned to market as an idyllic retreat with a Tinseltown pedigree at $8.25 million. Kate Blackwood and Santa Van Der Laarse at Compass share the listing.

      The home freely interacts with the surrounding landscape.

      RELATED: A Santa Barbara Home Listed for $20 Million Is a Car Collector’s Dream

      The 1.25-acre spread is sequestered down a private lane and includes a 3,678-square-foot main residence and a separate one-bedroom guesthouse, plus a self-contained one-bed/one-bath apartment above the garage and a freestanding pool house with another kitchen and bath. Altogether, there are six bedrooms and four and a half bathrooms.

      The two-story main house, built in 1964, has been extensively updated since Russell owned it, both honoring its midcentury roots and bringing in more modern elements such as smooth concrete walls and horizontal wood cladding. The sunny floor plan includes a window-lined combination living and dining room with a fireplace suspended from the vaulted and beamed ceiling, and a modern, all-white eat-in kitchen flooded with natural light thanks to its numerous windows and skylights. Elsewhere are a couple of cozy dens and four bedrooms, the homeowner’s suite being on the main floor with an outdoor shower and private patio.

      The main house and pool are connected by a bridge over a seasonal creek.

      The back of the house opens to a large deck that hangs over a seasonal creek with a bridge that leads to meandering gardens and the swimming pool and pool house. Elsewhere are a sports court, a one-bedroom guesthouse, and, above a two-car garage converted to a gym, a one-bed/one-bath apartment.

      Russell was known to have a keen interest in architecture and design. In the mid-1940s, while married to her first husband, professional football player and coach Bob Waterfield, she commissioned Case Study architect Kemper Nomland Jr. to design Skytop, a modern dream house on a hilltop in the mountains above Sherman Oaks. Though no longer standing, it featured a sunken conversation pit and panoramic views over the San Fernando Valley. 

      Decades later, Russell and Peoples split their time between Santa Barbara and Sedona, Arizona, where they owned a nightclub called Dude’s and a home that’s now a vacation rental. She spent the last years of her life in a relatively unassuming house in Santa Maria, California, where she died in 2011.

      Troye Sivan’s Midcentury Home in the Hollywood Hills Can Now Be Yours for $2.5 Million

      by

      My My My! Troye Sivan is one busy superstar. Not only does he sing, write songs, and model, but he’s an actor as well, having appeared in films such as X-Men Origins: Wolverine and Three Months, as well as the HBO drama series The Idol. Also a popular YouTuber counting over 8 million followers, the multi-hyphenate 30-year-old Aussie phenom added the title of landlord to his list of business endeavors in 2022 when he began renting out his modern Los Angeles residence for as much as $17,950 per month.

      Now, if you have an extra $2.5 million and change burning a hole in your proverbial pocket, you could be the new owner of the You Know What I Need crooner’s Hollywood Hills home. Jenna Cooper of Compass holds the listing.

      Purchased for nearly $2.2 million in late 2017, the 1950s property was renovated by its previous owner, producer and developer Logan Levy, and rests beyond gates on less than a quarter-acre of land off a secluded cul-de-sac. Accented by a white stucco façade, a curving wood front door, a circular porthole-style window, and a two-car garage, the home’s interior offers three bedrooms and four baths in roughly 3,300 square feet of open-concept living space boasting rustic hardwood floors throughout. Walls of glass provide lots of natural light while offering scenic views of the surrounding canyon and trees.

      Steps from the entryway lead up to a soaring den spotlighted by a domed skylight and built-in bookshelves. From there, a spacious living room anchored by a massive fireplace with a floating hearth has two sets of French doors spilling out to the backyard, while an adjacent dining area connects to a kitchen outfitted with wood cabinetry, an expansive eat-in island, and top-notch stainless appliances.

      The private backyard holds a kidney-shaped pool surrounded by a sundeck.

      Other highlights include a primary suite sporting the previously mentioned circular window, plus a fireside sitting area, a walk-in closet, and a uniquely tiled bath equipped with dual vanities, a sunken tub, and a glass-encased rain shower. Outdoors, the compact but nicely amenitized grounds are laced with greenery and host a fire pit, a pool and spa, and several spots ideal for lounging and entertaining.

      While Sivan is leaving his L.A. home behind, he still maintains a circa-1800s home in Melbourne, Australia, that he picked up in 2020. Subsequently renovated with the help of designer David Flack of Flack Studio, it was featured in Architectural Digest a year later.

      Inside the Australian Mansions That Star in Peacock’s ‘All Her Fault’

      by

      The latest must-watch thriller from Peacock, All Her Fault, is an intense deep dive into the dark secrets of the super-wealthy. The eight-episode limited series features a star-studded cast led by Sarah Snook as distraught mother Marissa Irvine and Jake Lacy—of White Lotus fame—as her husband, Peter. Based on Andrea Mara’s 2021 best-seller, the story was originally set in Dublin but has been relocated to Chicago for TV.

      The drama ignites when Marissa arrives at the Kaminski family’s house to pick up her young son Milo (Duke McCloud) from a playdate, only to find the woman who answers the door has never heard of him. Suddenly, a terrifying mystery begins to unravel across the manicured lawns of what we’re told is Wilmette, one of Chicago’s leafiest suburbs.

      There’s also a real-life twist of the real estate kind. While the story is set firmly in the Windy City, production reportedly only shot there for a few days, and the bulk of the series was filmed in Australia, partly for tax incentives but also thanks to what the producers called a “proximity incentive” for Snook, an Aussie who also serves as an executive producer.

      The Irvine family’s Chicago home in All Her Fault is actually an estate in Melbourne, Australia.

      Peacock

      The Irvine family’s home—the backdrop for much of Marissa’s unraveling—is a spectacular record-setting estate on the Mornington Peninsula in Red Hill South, about an hour outside Melbourne. The 16-acre property last traded in 2022 for between AUD 25 million and 27 million (about USD 18 million to 19.5 million), spending just 17 days on the market before shattering the previous suburb record, according to Forbes.

      The sprawling estate features a renovated five-bedroom, six-bathroom main house overhauled by Sabrina Caisson of Helen Green Design, while the leafy grounds include an infinity pool, six-car garage, soccer field, tennis court, and former stables converted into a cocktail lounge and golf simulator.

      Sarah Snook as Marissa Irvine.

      Sarah Enticknap/Peacock

      By contrast, the Kaminski family home provides a stark architectural counterpoint. Dakota Fanning plays Jenny Kaminski, a fellow mother swept into the spiraling accusations. Their real-life house, known as Hawthorn House, is a 7,300-square-foot modernist residence completed in 2018 by Edition Office architects Kim Bridgland, Aaron Roberts, and Jonathan Brener.

      Hawthorne House serves as the Kaminski family’s fictional home.

      Peacock

      The property is defined by two massive, textured concrete walls that wrap the house like a protective shell. The architects conceived the yard as a “living theatre,” creating a vast outdoor terrace that pulls the landscape right up to the house and gives the main living spaces a constant garden view. Downstairs, the concrete forms feel surprisingly airy, opening the interiors to the outdoors, while upstairs, bedrooms retreat into private courtyards lush with greenery. Materials are restrained—mainly concrete, timber, and brass—and the home incorporates passive-solar design, natural cross-ventilation, and rooftop panels to heat the pool.

      The concrete structure is contrasted by glassy, private courtyards filled with plants.

      Sarah Enticknap/Peacock

      Together, these two architecturally distinct Australian estates—a grand country manor and a sculptural concrete masterpiece—frame the series’ central mystery and raise the question of who is really behind Milo’s disappearance. And yes, if the whole “affluent community with secrets and stunning real estate” setup gives you Big Little Lies energy, you’re not imagining it. The Succession actress even acknowledged the comparison in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, noting that audiences love “pulling apart things that, on the surface, look glossy and perfect.”

      This $10 Million Curvilinear San Francisco Home Has Been in the Same Family for 50-Plus Years

      by

      It’s been almost 10 years since Angelo Sangiacomo died at age 91, but the prominent real estate developer and landlord’s longtime San Francisco home has only now popped up for sale at $10 million, with the listing held by Neal Ward of Compass.

      Perched atop Edgehill Mountain in the Forest Hill neighborhood, the eye-catching curvilinear, cedar-shake structure was commissioned by the founder of Trinity Properties and his longtime wife, former actress Yvonne Giuntoli, in the late 1960s. Completed in 1970 by a team of architects that included Robert V. Arrigoni and Howard Backen, with finishing touches by professor Dale E. Benedict, the midcentury property has remained in the Sangiacomo family ever since.

      Around the corner from the living room are a window-lined music room and fireside sitting area.

      A hedge-lined pathway out front makes its way to a gated entry, which opens onto a red brick courtyard with a bubbling fountain and a children’s playground off to the side. Inside, eight bedrooms and five baths (plus a trio of powder rooms) are spread across roughly 10,100 square feet of wood-slathered living space on four levels punctuated throughout with rough-exposed concrete and finished stonework, all sitting above a four-car street-level garage with epoxy floors.

      A gallery entrance with a winding staircase steps down to the soaring sky-lit living room, which has a ribbon of 18-foot steel-framed windows, a wood-burning brick fireplace, a bar, and access to a wraparound terrace. Rounding the corner are a music room, a sitting area, a library nook, and an office. Upstairs, a bridge walkway leads to a 14-seat dining hall with a mezzanine balcony overlooking the living room below. The adjacent kitchen is updated with a Viking range and dual refrigerators, while a large pantry connects to an ocean-view sitting and dining area.

      A dining hall on the second level can seat up to 14 for formal gatherings.

      A fireside primary suite and five additional bedrooms occupy the entire top floor, while the bottom-most level hosts a 2,000-square-foot entertaining space with a wet bar and a kitchenette, along with a pair of en suite guest bedrooms, a wine cellar, and a laundry room. Rounding it all off is a rooftop terrace offering picturesque views stretching from the Golden Gate Bridge to the Marin Headlands, the Pacific Ocean, and the Farallon Islands beyond.

      For Sandro Sangiacomo, one of seven children of Angelo and Yvonne, selling the home isn’t an ending but a continuation of what his parents believed in: bringing people together. “My siblings and I felt so fortunate growing up in this home,” he said in a statement. “My parents shaped with heart and uncompromising intention the home I grew up in. I remember long dinners in the kitchen and all the fun we had downstairs…I hope the next family feels what we felt here and adds their story to the history.”

      Inside George Lucas’s $260 Million-Plus Property Portfolio

      by

      George Lucas, the legendary filmmaker behind Star Wars, revolutionized Hollywood with his imaginative storytelling, pioneering special effects, and bold approach to franchise filmmaking. From his early days as a student at the University of Southern California’s School of Cinematic Arts to the global phenomenon of Indiana Jones, Lucas has consistently pushed the boundaries of cinema, earning him an Academy Award for Lifetime Achievement in 2005, among numerous other accolades.

      After selling his Lucasfilm production company to Disney for $4.1 billion in 2012, Lucas largely stepped away from filmmaking, redirecting his energy toward philanthropy, education, and art. His fortune, estimated at $5.5 billion, has enabled him to pursue these passions on a global scale. A committed supporter of education, Lucas signed the Giving Pledge in 2010, promising to donate the majority of his wealth to charitable causes. His George Lucas Family Foundation, valued at over $1 billion, has become a major force in improving educational opportunities, particularly in science, technology, and engineering.

      Lucas is also a devoted collector and patron of the arts. Together with his wife, Mellody Hobson, he founded the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art in Los Angeles, reportedly set to open in September 2026. The 100,000-square-foot museum will showcase works from his personal collection, including illustrations, paintings, comics, and film memorabilia, offering the public a rare glimpse into the creative worlds that inspired a generation of storytelling.

      Beyond his professional and philanthropic pursuits, Lucas’s interests extend to a thoughtfully curated portfolio of homes spanning the U.S. and abroad. His holdings range from the sprawling Skywalker Ranch in Marin County to side-by-side retreats in Carpinteria, multi-parcel compounds in San Anselmo, a historic Bel Air mansion, a record-setting Chicago penthouse, a winery in France, and a trophy London residence. Below, we’re taking a look at all the places Lucas calls home.

      Handbag Designer Tyler Ellis Is Selling Her Stylish L.A. Home for $32 Million

      by

      Around nine years ago, Tyler Ellis doled out $12.3 million for a fairly plain French-inspired residence in the western reaches of Los Angeles. Now the luxury handbag designer—the only offspring of legendary fashion designer Perry Ellis and screenwriter Barbara Gallagher—has put the stylishly redone chateau-style estate in a prime pocket of Brentwood back up for sale at a dash under $32.4 million, around $20 million over what she paid in late 2016. D. Peter Mac and Mauricio Umansky of the Agency share the listing.

      Originally built in 2005, Ellis and her investor husband, Benjamin Shriner, implemented a full-scale customization of the premises during their tenure, working in collaboration with original architect William Hefner and longtime favored interior designers the Archers. Today, the property features an expanded main house and a tacked-on “entertainment” house with a combined total of seven bedrooms and 11 baths in 11,800 square feet of wonderfully eclectic living space that was featured in Architectural Digest in 2021.

      An elegant wood-beamed living room opens out to a covered lanai.

      “It felt like a little piece of Europe that landed in the center of L.A.” Ellis told AD at the time. “We loved the traditional architecture and wanted to keep it serious and sophisticated, but on the inside we wanted to give it a more youthful character, with bright pops of color, lots of fun, and little bits of happiness everywhere.”

      Tucked away behind walls and gates, on over a half-acre parcel of land laced with towering cypress trees, the two-story primary dwelling is accessible via reeded-glass entry doors that open into a grand foyer displaying a feathered pink bear sculpture crafted by Italian artist Paola Pivi. Other highlights include a formal dining room topped by a custom Studio Molen chandelier, a library sporting lacquered blue walls, and a black-hued gourmet kitchen spotlighted by subway tile and bronze hardware, plus a La Cornue range. A sumptuous upstairs primary retreat is outfitted with a separate den, as well as dual walk-in closets and baths.

      A speakeasy in the guesthouse leads to a 6,500-bottle wine cellar.

      As for the other house, that three-level space spans around 5,000 square feet and comes with two en suite bedrooms and an office, along with glitzy perks like a speakeasy, a movie theater, and a 6,500-bottle limestone wine cellar. A covered terrace blends seamlessly with the grassy backyard, which hosts a pool and spa, a garden, a bocce court, and additional spots for alfresco lounging and entertaining.
