Judy Sheindlin is officially slamming the gavel on her New York City penthouse. Per The New York Times, which first reported the listing, the reality TV personality best known as Judge Judy has hoisted her elegant Manhattan pied-à-terre on the market for $9.5 million. The listing is held by Tom Postilio and Mickey Conlon of Compass.
Records show she and her husband Jerry, a former New York Supreme Court judge, acquired the duplex unit for $8.5 million back in 2013, shortly after selling a residence at The Sherry-Netherland hotel. Sheindlin, who also has owned homes in Rhode Island, Connecticut, Florida, and California, told the Times in an email, “We’ve enjoyed this jewel of an apartment. Time to simplify.”
Sited within the 14-story, pre-war co-op apartment house at 14 Sutton Place South, which was designed by gifted architect Rosario Candela in the late 1920s, the couple’s city digs rest on the top two floors of the building, with four bedrooms and six baths spread across largely original yet modernized interiors outfitted with hardwood floors, high ceilings, classic moldings, and a curved wrought-iron and wood staircase. There’s also central air-conditioning, plus an integrated sound system, and an expansive wraparound terrace that’s ideal for al fresco lounging and dining.

Other highlights include a semi-private elevator landing that opens into an upper-level entrance gallery bathed in inlaid marble. From there, the spacious living room boasts a wood-burning fireplace and large casement windows offering views of the East River; a blush-hued formal dining room has floor-to-ceiling French doors; and an eat-in kitchen is equipped with green marble countertops, a wood-topped island and high-end stainless appliances.
Elsewhere is a handsome wood-paneled library displaying a fireplace flanked by built-in bookshelves, along with a wine-storage alcove that’s been converted into a powder room. A downstairs primary suite hosts a seating area, lots of closet space, and built-in storage, as well as a spa-inspired bath equipped with dual vanities and a shower, and three additional guest bedrooms include two with their own baths and one with access to a hallway bath.
The new owner also will be privy to plenty of amenities, courtesy of a hefty $10,130 monthly maintenance fee, including a 24/7 doorman, a resident manager, a common roof deck, a gym, a bike room, and a deeded private storage space.
A former Manhattan prosecutor and family court judge, the 81-year-old Brooklyn native starred as the no-nonsense courtroom arbitrator in the Judge Judy TV series for 25 seasons, from 1996 to 2021, and currently appears in the Judy Justice show on Amazon Freevee. Her longtime husband, a former New York Supreme Court judge, also made his mark as a TV personality, having presided over The People’s Court for two seasons.

You’ll need more than a wink and a smile to pick up this Massachusetts estate! As first reported by The Wall Street Journal, the coastal 1.3-acre spread long owned by award-winning singer, pianist, and actor Harry Connick Jr. has just popped up for sale in the Lower Cape Cod enclave of Chatham, asking $12.5 million. The listing is held by Paul Grover and Matthew de Groot of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Robert Paul Properties.
Records show the New Orleans-born crooner and his wife, former Victoria’s Secret model Jill Goodacre, paid $5.3 million back in early 2006 for the Oyster Pond Lane property. Tucked away behind tall hedges and a lengthy tree-lined driveway, the charming wood-shingled structure boasts five bedrooms and six bathrooms in a tad over 5,300 square feet of two-level living space, all of it accented throughout with the original pine floors, reclaimed wood, and numerous fireplaces.
The backyard has an inviting freeform pool, an expansive terrace, and a fire-pit conversation area.

Built back in the 1960s but extensively renovated during the couple’s tenure, the blufftop structure overlooks Chatham Village and Oyster Pond, a saltwater basin that flows to Nantucket Sound and the Atlantic Ocean. There’s also a staircase and a raised walkway leading down to a boathouse and a private dock, plus an attached two-car garage.
Other highlights include an entrance hallway displaying a traditional staircase, along with a cozy family room sporting built-in bookcases flanking a wood-burning fireplace. A gourmet kitchen is outfitted with a built-in buffet, an eat-in island, top-tier stainless appliances, and a dining area flaunting two sets of French doors spilling out to the backyard.

Accessed via a private staircase is an upstairs primary suite, which comes complete with a water-view balcony, a walk-in closet, and a luxe bath equipped with dual vanities, a soaking tub, and a glass-encased shower, as well as a study where Connick worked on his tunes. Outdoors, the park-like grounds are dotted with manicured gardens and mature trees and host a fire pit and a freeform swimming pool surrounded by a brick-clad terrace.
According to WSJ, Connick and Goodacre have decided to let go of the house, which is being sold fully furnished, because they are spending less time on the Cape now that their children are grown.

After spending more than a decade in Brooklyn, acclaimed sculptor John Mosler is moving on, and the home that he’s leaving behind is a piece of art in its own right.
The property, one of New York’s more unique offerings, is a two-story live-work warehouse on the border of Carroll Gardens and Gowanus. Dubbed “Number 47″—a nod to its 47 4th Street address—the spread is listed for just shy of $7 million and features a state-of-the-art studio and workshop, a gallery space, an office, and private living quarters. All together, there are two full bathrooms and a couple of half-baths.
Aside from all that, the abode includes private parking via a remote-controlled garage and a sprawling roof deck. If you happen to be more of a collector than a creative, or someone who wants even more space than the existing 5,782 square feet, the pad also presents an opportunity for future expansion that could take the dwelling to a whopping 12,500 square feet.
The ground floor spans an impressive 90 feet long and includes a lounge area with a sleek kitchen.

Mosler bought the derelict building in 2010 with his wife, Jean Won Mosler, founder of Maum Design. At the time, the couple shelled out a cool $1.1 million for the structure and then tapped architect Jonathan Marvel to lead a gut renovation while Jean Won tackled the interior. “Everything here has a changeability to it,” she told The New York Times back in 2015. “It had to be able to transform very easily from studio to gallery to entertainment space to business meetings.”
From the outside, the brick-clad pad is painted bright purple and sports bubblegum pink doors. Internally, the ground floor is decked out with soaring 17-foot ceilings and a 30-foot glass-walled central atrium that brings ample light to the center of the building. One side of the home is equipped with a gallery space that features a 12-foot glass folding wall. Beyond that is a lounge and casual entertaining area with radiant heated floors, a sleek kitchen and a linear gas fireplace. Towards the back, you’ll find an office (or guest room, your choice) with dramatic 20-foot ceilings, a lofted area and an ensuite bath.

One of the artsy dig’s many highlights is the upper-level penthouse bedroom suite, which spans a whopping 1,200 square feet and features oak flooring, motorized shades, a kitchenette concealed within cabinetry, a large walk-in closet, and a windowed ensuite bath. The latter is kitted out with a custom double vanity, a smart toilet, heated towel racks, a steam shower, and a soaking tub. Of course, the coolest part is the private terrace for those summer sunsets.

On the opposite end is where Mosler’s studio and workshop are located. The art lab is illuminated by lots of skylights, plus it has exposed beams and a mezzanine level. Fun fact: It’s also where the sculptor and ceramicist has held his in-studio exhibitions.

“What truly sets 47 4th Street apart is its role in Gowanus—an area that is experiencing a renaissance unlike any other, making it an enticing destination for investors seeking growth potential and community vibrancy,” notes the listing, which is held by Ravi Kantha of Serhant. “Developers are transforming the area into the ‘Venice of Brooklyn’ that will bring an estimated 8,200 new apartments, including 3,000 affordable units, to an 82-block swath of Gowanus by 2035. The neighborhood will be mostly reoriented toward the waterfront, where there will be a new network of public esplanades, parkland, and plaza space with shops and eateries dotting brand-new streets—as well as plenty of new luxury housing.”

Shohei Ohtani may be out some $16 million because of his crooked interpreter, but MLB’s $700 million man seemingly still has more than enough cash left over to splash out on his choice of prime real estate.
In March, the Los Angeles Dodgers star paid $1.4 million for a 1.1-acre parcel on the Big Island of Hawaii, where he plans to build a roughly 5,000-square home with ocean views in Hapuna Estates, a new gated community within the Mauna Kea Resort. And now, he’s just forked over millions more for a modern mansion in the leafy L.A. suburb of La Cañada Flintridge. Reportedly one of the city’s priciest transactions ever, the deal was first written up by the Los Angeles Times.
Originally hitting the market for a speck under $9 million back in June 2023 and subsequently reduced to $8.3 million, records show the nearly 1-acre spread ultimately went to the Japanese baseball sensation for a discounted $7.8 million. The seller was comedian and podcaster Adam Carolla, who picked up the place for $7.3 million almost six years ago, back in late 2018.

Built in 2013 and extensively renovated during Carolla’s tenure, the gated structure is sited amid a secluded cul-de-sac and features five en-suite bedrooms and a total of six baths sprawled across a little more than 7,300 square feet of three-level living space displaying a mix of contemporary and midcentury-modern interiors accented throughout with bluestone walls, clerestory windows, and stone and wood details. Floor-to-ceiling walls of glass allow for seamless indoor/outdoor environs and other amenities range from an office, a movie theater, a gym, and a sauna to a dumbwaiter and a home-automation system.
Additional standout features include formal living and dining rooms, a fireside family room that spills out to the backyard, and a gourmet kitchen outfitted with custom cabinetry, a central island, an eat-in peninsula, top-notch Miele and Thermador appliances, and an accompanying breakfast nook. There’s also a spacious primary suite boasting a fireplace, a sitting area, a private balcony, a walk-in closet, and a luxe bath equipped with dual vanities, a spa tub, and a glass-encased shower.
Outdoors, the landscaped grounds are dotted with oak trees and host an infinity pool and spa bordered by a grassy lawn on one side and a deck on the other, as well as a barbecue and bar setup resting alongside an al fresco dining area, a fire-pit, a sports court, and an attached four-car garage.
Before he joined the Dodgers in 2023 as a pitcher and a designated hitter, inking the biggest contract in baseball history, 29-year-old Ohtani played six seasons for the L.A. Angels; and he’s also suited up for the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters of Nippon Professional Baseball. According to Sportico, the two-time MVP also stands to earn around $65 million in lucrative endorsement deals this year, representing brands such as New Balance, Fanatics, and Rapsodo, which makes tracking devices used for baseball, softball, and golf.
Other recent sports-related transactions include former Brooklyn Nets coach Jacque Vaughn scooping up a $2.5 million condo at the Quay Tower, where Zendaya reportedly owns a $5 million unit, and Boston Celtics star Al Horford’s mansion in the community of Brookline coming to market for $9 million. More
After almost three years of ownership, Al Horford is moving on from his Massachusetts estate. The acre-plus spread, tucked away just minutes from downtown Boston in the suburban community of Brookline, is back on the market for a smidge under $9 million. The five-time NBA All-Star and highest-paid Latin American player—who is currently competing in the Eastern Conference Finals with the Boston Celtics—acquired the classic Colonial-inspired home for $7.5 million back in fall 2021, shortly after it was newly built.
Resting behind wrought-iron gates and fully fenced, the three-level structure is fronted by a spacious motorcourt flanked by an attached three-car garage. Once inside, six bedrooms and eight baths are filtered across a little more than 9,300 square feet of living space that’s been virtually staged by Spotless Agency and boasts caramel-hued hardwood floors, high ceilings, and designer lighting throughout.

Glass doors open into a soaring tiled entry foyer displaying a stylish glass-railed staircase and large Pella-brand windows. To one side is the living room, with a dining room on the other. Cloistered in the back of the house is a gourmet kitchen outfitted with sleek white cabinetry, an eat-in island that seats four, a walk-in pantry, and top-tier Miele, Wolf, and Sub-Zero appliances. An adjacent breakfast nook is flanked by a climate-controlled wine cabinet and a family room sporting a chic linear fireplace built into a decorative accent wall, and other main-level highlights include a junior primary suite with its own balcony.
Elsewhere is an opulent upstairs primary retreat featuring a sitting area warmed by a fireplace, a walk-in closet, a dressing room, and a spa-like bath equipped with dual vanities, a freestanding soaking tub, and a glass-encased shower for two. Four additional en-suite bedrooms and a laundry room can also be found on this floor, while the bottom-most level features a partially finished basement holding a media room, and the woodsy grounds host an expansive rear deck that’s ideal for al fresco lounging and entertaining.

In addition to the for-sale Brookline home, which Horford shares with his longtime actress and former Miss Universe wife Amelia Vega, the 37-year-old Dominican basketball player known to his fans as “Big Al” reportedly still maintains a mansion in the Sandy Springs neighborhood of Atlanta.
The listing at 100 Cottage St. is held by the Sarkis Team at Douglas Elliman.

Elvis Presley fans may no longer have to be all shook up over the potential sale of Graceland.
The King of Rock and Roll’s former estate was set to go up for auction this week, but a judge in Tennessee has halted the sale, CBS News reported on Wednesday. The temporary injunction comes after the actor Riley Keough, one of Elvis’s granddaughters, accused the company Naussany Investments and Private Lending of trying to sell the home as part of a fraudulent scheme. (Keough inherited the property and her family trust after her mother, Lisa Marie Presley, died last year.)
“The court will enjoin the sale as requested because, one, the real estate is considered unique under Tennessee law,” Shelby Country Chancellor JoeDae Jenkins said, according to CBS. “And in being unique, the loss of the real estate would be considered irreparable harm.”
Elvis bought Graceland—then a 10,266-square-foot mansion with 13.8 acres of farmland—back in 1957 for just $102,500, CBS noted. He died at the estate in 1977, and it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1991. Now, more than 600,000 Elvis fans visit the home, which has been turned into a museum, every year.
Earlier this month, a public notice for the foreclosure sale of the property was posted, with claims that Promenade Trust, which controls Graceland, owes $3.8 million after failing to repay a loan, CBS wrote. Naussany Investments said Lisa Marie had used the estate as collateral for that loan. Keough, however, says the company created fake documents, and in a lawsuit filed last week, she alleges Naussany Investments “appears to be a false entity created for the purpose” of defrauding Elvis’s family.
“As the court has now made clear, there was no validity to the claims. There will be no foreclosure,” a spokesperson for Elvis Presley Enterprises told CBS. “Graceland will continue to operate as it has for the past 42 years, ensuring that Elvis fans from around the world can continue to have a best in class experience when visiting his iconic home.”
While the King’s relatives and fans are likely happy that Graceland will be staying in the family, the property would have probably fetched a pretty penny at auction. Just last year, a dilapidated private jet owned by the King hammered down for $260,000—and now it’s being turned into a luxe RV.
Thankfully, when tourists head to Memphis to get a little taste of Elvis’s life, for now, Graceland will still be waiting for them.
