    David Lynch’s Midcentury Hollywood Hills Compound Lists for $15 Million

    by

    The avant-garde Los Angeles compound assembled and customized over several decades by legendary filmmaker David Lynch has officially popped up for sale, eight months after he passed away at age 78. Consisting of seven separate structures, the asking price for the entire spread is $15 million. Marc Silver and Barry Sloane of The Agency Beverly Hills share the listing.

    Tucked away on five contiguous hillside parcels, amid two-plus acres just below Mulholland Drive in the Outpost Estates neighborhood of the Hollywood Hills, the gated property is centered on a pink-hued residence originally designed for writer Marilyn Johnson in the early 1960s by Lloyd Wright, the eldest son of Frank Lloyd Wright. The aptly named Marilyn Johnson House, acquired by Lynch in 1987 for $560,000, per The Wall Street Journal, has been recognized by Historic Places LA as an “excellent example of Mid-Century Modern residential architecture.”

    The main home was designed in the 1960s by Lloyd Wright, the eldest son of Frank Lloyd Wright.

    The unconventional writer and director—famous for his movie and TV projects ranging from Eraserhead and Blue Velvet to Twin Peaks—went on to purchase a home to serve as a base for his Asymmetrical Productions company, plus a Brutalist-style abode that held a library, a screening room, and an editing suite and later starred in the film Lost Highway. In 1991, he commissioned Lloyd Wright’s son, Eric Lloyd Wright, to create a pool and pool house notched high up on the hillside. There’s also a two-story guesthouse and a one-bedroom space finished in smooth gray plaster—for a combined total of 10 bedrooms and 11 baths in 11,000 square feet.

    Containing roughly 2,000 square feet with three bedrooms, the primary dwelling boasts a cement exterior accented with chevron patterns. Adorned throughout with walls of glass, clerestory windows, natural wood, and metalwork, the minimalist interiors are highlighted by a living room sporting a soaring wood-beam ceiling, an eye-catching sculptural fireplace, and access to a fountain-clad patio. A dining area connects to a galley-style kitchen, which is outfitted with chartreuse green countertops.

    The living room is anchored by a monumental sculptural fireplace.

    Lynch, who was also an accomplished visual artist, musician, and actor, looked to his L.A. compound as a source of creativity and inspiration. “The whole space is just pleasing, gives me a good feeling,” he said in a 1997 article by the German design magazine Form. “So it effects my whole life to live inside of it. And then, sometimes I see things, shapes or something that would go inside of it and that leads to furniture or film.”

      Mark Wahlberg’s Former L.A. Mansion Is Back on the Market for $21.8 Million

      by

      You might not have been fortunate enough to snag Mark Wahlberg’s chateau-style megamansion in the ultra-exclusive Beverly Park enclave of Los Angeles that was just up for grabs. It went to Paris Hilton for a whopping $63 million. Now’s your chance, however, to scoop up another Beverly Hills home the Oscar-nominated actor also once owned, this one requiring a substantially smaller outlay of cash.

      Wahlberg acquired the property in the posh Oak Pass Road enclave in 2001 for $5 million, added his own custom touches and upgrades, and sold the place 12 years later for nearly $10.3 million. He’s since left L.A., relocating to Las Vegas in 2022. The estate is currently owned by real estate developer Don Rufus Hankey, the son of auto-loan billionaire Don Hankey, who picked it up in April 2018 for $12.4 million and first tried to sell it in 2022 for $28.5 million.

      Now the Mediterranean-style digs are available again for a smidge under $22 million, with the listing shared by Weston Littlefield, Aaron Kirman, Daniel Milstein, and Gregory Ramano of Christie’s International Real Estate Southern California.

      Originally built in the mid-1980s, the compound offers a total of seven bedrooms and 12 baths across roughly 14,000 square feet of updated living space. Glitzy amenities include a detached two-level gym equipped with a full-sized boxing ring and aircraft hangar doors spilling out to a sports court, plus a salon, staff quarters, and a fireside movie theater sporting a wet bar.

      Among the other highlights is a coffer-ceilinged living and dining area, which has retractable glass doors opening out to an expansive glass-lined terrace framing canyon views. An eat-in kitchen is outfitted with top-tier Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances and a climate-controlled wine cellar, while a sumptuous primary suite comes with dual walk-in closets and baths.

      A grotto-style pool in the backyard has a cascading waterfall and a waterslide carved into the rocks.

      The Sumptuous Duplex of a New York Style Icon Lists for $5.5 Million

      by

      Carolyne Roehm is officially letting go of her bespoke New York City apartment. The lifestyle author, socialite, and former fashion designer—she worked with Oscar de la Renta before launching her own successful womenswear line, which lasted 10 years—has hoisted her majestic Manhattan duplex on the market for a stitch under $5.5 million. Charles Holmes and Evita LaSasso of Coldwell Banker Warburg share the listing.

      Online reports show she acquired the seven-room spread from magazine publisher Marion Gilliam for $4.7 million back in 2004, some 10 years after she split from her second husband, Henry R. Kravis, a financier known for his $25 billion buyout of Nabisco in the late 1980s.

      A cozy wood-paneled study on the upper level is warmed by a fireplace.

      Roehm initially refused to even consider buying a place at the 21-story, pre-war Neoclassical 322 East 57th Street building, which was originally designed as a studio hotel by architect Harry M. Clawson in 1929 and is sometimes referred to as the Mr. Chow building, after the venerable Chinese restaurant that anchors the ground floor. She had previously looked at Frank and Kathie Lee Gifford’s apartment there and decided it had relatively modest rooms, aside from the grand salons, per The New York Times.

      An acquaintance then insisted she just had to see this particular apartment because it resembled Weatherstone, her 18th-century stone house in the Connecticut town of Sharon. “When I first walked into this apartment, it was as if I had a twin brother and he’d lived here,” she said. “There were my pilasters! There was the coffered ceiling just like I have at Weatherstone.”

      An upstairs bedroom has been converted into a dressing area with a wall of deep closets.

      Situated on the 12th and 13th floors of the building, the palatial pad has three bedrooms and three baths across roughly 3,100 square feet outfitted with an ample allowance of gilded furnishings and decor. A semi-private elevator landing opens into a lower-level entrance gallery bathed in limestone, with a hallway flowing to a square-shaped, 27-foot-by-27-foot great room boasting an 18-foot coffered ceiling, brown walls dotted with striped white pilasters, a marble fireplace, built-in bookshelves, and two 12-foot casement windows offering city skyline views.

      An oval dining room with a curved pocketing door has rich fabric panels and recessed dome lighting, and a windowed kitchen sports stainless appliances and a concealed butler’s pantry. Both a grand staircase and a private elevator head upstairs, where a handsome oak-paneled study is warmed by a fireplace. A posh southern-exposure primary hosts a large bath equipped with a soaking tub and a steam shower, while two additional en suite guest bedrooms include one that’s been converted into a dressing area.

      Rounding it all off: a hefty $10,399 monthly maintenance fee, which avails the new owner with a round-the-clock doorman, storage space, and, of course, primo access to Mr. Chow.

      by

      After a little more than 17 years of ownership, Mike Sweeney has decided to part ways with his Los Angeles home in the leafy foothills of Los Feliz, just minutes from Griffith Park and the Greek Theatre.

      The Emmy-winning writer and producer—best known for partnering with comedian and talk show host Conan O’Brien on the highly rated 2025 Oscars broadcast, as well as Conan O’Brien Must Go, Conan, and Late Night with Conan O’Brien—is asking $6.3 million for the Italianate-style spread he acquired in 2008 for $3.5 million. Sherri Rogers, Anthony Stellini, and Elisa Ritt of Compass share the listing.

      Originally built in the mid-1920s and known as Villa Palazzetto, the stucco and terracotta-roof structure sits on a walled and gated corner parcel spanning over a third of an acre. Famously occupied in the 1930s by the late Hollywood screenwriter and director Delmer Daves, whose most successful work was the 1959 film A Summer Place, the property has six bedrooms and an equal number of baths in roughly 5,000 square feet across three levels.

      Steps lead up to a hand-carved front door, which opens into a double-height entry foyer that flows to an elegant living room sporting a French stone fireplace and large windows overlooking sweeping views of Downtown L.A. The formal dining room connects to a kitchen outfitted with a white subway tile backsplash, an eat-in island, Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, and a U-shaped breakfast banquette set against a bay window. An adjacent media room has French doors spilling out to an alfresco entertaining area, while a coffer-ceilinged library comes with a Juliet balcony.

      The walled and foliage-laced backyard hosts a saltwater pool and spa.

      Three upstairs bedrooms include a secluded primary suite, which has a stately fireplace flanked by built-in window seats, plus a walk-in closet and a bath decked out with dual vanities, a pedestal soaking tub, and a glass-encased shower. The lower level, meanwhile, has a guest suite with its own entrance.

      Topping it all off is the lushly landscaped backyard, which is dotted with colorful mosaic tile and offers a heated dining pavilion, an outdoor kitchen with a built-in barbecue, and a saltwater pool and spa. An added bonus: The property is located directly across from the Berendo Stairway, one of L.A.’s storied secret staircases.

      Saints Star Alvin Kamara Leased This $10 Million Colorado Home Over the Summer

      by

      An NFL star hunkered down in this Boulder, Colorado, home all summer long, but it could be yours by the start of winter.

      The $10 million property served as the home base for New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara while he trained in Boulder over the summer. The 30-year-old NFL vet is a five-time Pro Bowl player and was named Offensive Rookie of the Year during his first season in the league. Joel Ripmaster at Slifer Smith & Frampton holds the listing.

      A water feature made from a boulder from the Flatirons just outside anchors the kitchen and dining room.

      Amanda Proudfit

      The wood-and-glass abode cuts a striking figure among Colorado’s Flatirons, with the structure actually carved into the slope and mimicking the chunky shapes of the rock formations. Designed by local architect Matt McMullan, the residence is meant to be one with nature, incorporating aspects that nod to all four elements: earth, wind, fire, and water. One of the most striking features lies between the kitchen and the dining room, where water runs over a massive boulder from the Flatirons.

      RELATED: A Brand-New $29.8 Million Home in Boulder Comes With Both Indoor and Outdoor Pools

      The emphasis on water continues in a koi pond next to the kitchen. It’s also visible from the floating glass stairwell that leads to the primary bedroom—dubbed the Bird’s Nest, as it’s suspended above the rest of the home. Earth, meanwhile, is evident in the materials used throughout: mahogany ceilings and floors, Jerusalem stone, and wenge wood and ebony macassar millwork. Three fireplaces on the main level, along with the radiant-heated floors, nod to fire, while the cantilevered Pilkington structural glass walls expose the house to the wind and air just outside.

      There are three separate garden terraces, one trellised and set up for alfresco dining.

      Amanda Proudfit

      Sitting as it does amid the raw Mountain West landscape, the abode offers plenty of additional space and amenities for relaxation. Outdoors, there are three separate garden terraces, with one above the garage providing a prime location for grilling and alfresco dining. If you consider yourself more of an indoor animal, the home theater is outfitted with theater recliners for kicking back. And, for overflow guests—or to get away from guests—a total retreat is found in the one-bedroom guesthouse, which has a private entrance, a full kitchen, and even its own garage.

      In total, the property includes five bedrooms and six full baths over 8,427 square feet. An elevator connects all the different levels, with the high-altitude location offering sweeping views of the surrounding community, from downtown Boulder to the university campus to the surrounding Flatirons.

      Dom DeLuise’s Former Pacific Palisades Estate Hits the Market for $21 Million

      by

      The totally reimagined onetime estate of late actor and comedian Dom DeLuise has popped up for sale at $21 million, 16 years after he passed away at age 75.

      Records show The Cannonball Run and Blazing Saddles star acquired the third-acre spread in 1968 for just $103,000 and lived there until his death in 2009. The place subsequently traded hands for the first time in over half a century in late 2021, selling to an entity managed by Jeff Mironer of Provincetown Estates for nearly $6.5 million, per The Real Deal. The developer went on to raze DeLuise’s outdated 1950s house and replace it with the modern mansion now on the market. Anthony Marguleas of Amalfi Estates holds the listing.

      The family room is anchored by an elegant stone fireplace embedded in white oak paneling.

      Pierre Galant

      RELATED: A Landmark Home in Pacific Palisades Shaded by a 100-Year-Old Cedar Tree Just Listed for $25 Million

      Completed this year, the new residence offers a total of seven bedrooms and nine baths in more than 10,000 square feet across three levels serviced by an elevator. Elegant European-inspired interiors boast white oak floors and high wood-beam ceilings throughout, plus walls of glass overlooking picturesque canyon vistas. All the furnishings are also available for purchase.

      Tucked away behind gates off Corsica Drive, just minutes from the Riviera Country Club and the Brentwood Country Mart, the structure stuns from the outset with its tumbled natural stone and fire-resistant ACRE siding. A walkway passes through a courtyard framed by heritage olive trees, vintage ceramic pots, and lush gardens, while custom double iron and glass doors open into a double-height foyer flanked by formal living and dining rooms.

      A refrigerated wine room can accommodate up to 1,657 bottles of your favorite vintages.

      A hallway with archways on either side flows to the rear of the house, where a fireside family room opens seamlessly to a grassy backyard featuring a barbecue station and pizza oven, a sculptural fire pit, and a pool and inset spa lined with checkered stone tiles. Back inside, a casual dining area connects to a sleek kitchen outfitted with Calacatta Monet honed marble countertops, an eat-in island, a Lacanche range, and a butler’s pantry. One of two laundry rooms leads to an attached three-car garage.

      All the bedrooms are of the en-suite variety, with one of two on the main level currently set up as an office. Four more upstairs include a posh primary suite flaunting a fireplace, a separate sitting area with a balcony, dual walk-in closets, and a bath spotlighted by a Hydro Systems soaking tub. The remaining bedroom on the lower level is joined by a wet bar-equipped recreation area, a 21-seat movie theater, a climate-controlled wine room, and a wellness center with a gym, cold plunge, sauna, and steam and massage rooms.

      Former ‘Real Housewives of Miami’ Star Nicole Martin Drops $34 Million on a Coral Gables Mansion

      by

      Insurance attorney Anthony Lopez and anesthesiologist Dr. Nicole Martin, a former cast member on The Real Housewives of Miami, aren’t exactly strangers to big-ticket real estate deals, and the Miami power couple just sealed the deal for a $34 million waterfront spread in Coral Gables. It’s every bit as over the top as you’d imagine.

      The estate is one of only 14 in the ultra-exclusive, guard-gated Gables Estates enclave, which faces Biscayne Bay. The Lopez-Martins’ new digs stretch across 225 feet of pristine shoreline, open views over the water, and plenty of space to park the yacht.

      Built in 2004, the home has already seen some notable names pass through its doors. It was previously owned by Miami Heat legend Alonzo Mourning, who purchased it back in 2005 when he returned to play for the team after a short stint with the New Jersey Nets.

      The estate combines all the bells and whistles that make daily living comfortable and resort-like. At the heart of the home is a chef’s kitchen with custom cabinetry and top-of-the-line appliances, while a sprawling, temperature-controlled wine cellar with capacity for more than 2,700 bottles is a showstopper for serious collectors. Other highlights include two home offices, a game and entertainment room, and a fully equipped gym.

      The couple’s new home doesn’t skimp on function, either; there’s an elevator, a four-car garage, and, essential for life in hurricane country, impact-resistant windows and doors and a full-house generator. 

      The expansive, light-filled living areas flow easily out to a backyard dialed in for Miami living. Expect wide terraces for lounging, a summer kitchen for long dinners under the stars, a pool that sits just steps from the bay, and a private dock and boat lift.

      This isn’t the Lopez-Martins’ first high-profile Miami move. Just weeks ago, they sold their fully reimagined Old Cutler Bay estate in a record-breaking off-market deal valued at $40 million. The buyer was none other than British pop star Robbie Williams, who is relocating with his family to South Florida. Lopez and Martin had picked up the property only a few years earlier, in 2022, for $21.5 million and spent two years gut-renovating it, doubling their investment in the process.

      That sale follows a string of headline-making deals for the couple, including a $44 million transaction with Jeff Bezos’s mother in 2022. Now, with their latest buy in Gables Estates, they’ve secured one of Miami’s most coveted waterfront addresses—and cemented their reputation as serious players in the city’s white-hot ultra-luxury real estate market.
