      Ryan Seacrest’s Secluded Beverly Hills Compound Hits the Market for $85 Million

      by

      Ryan Seacrest is dimming the lights on his Beverly Hills estate. The American Idol host has just listed the 90210 home for an eye-popping $85 million.
      The 45-year-old purchased the secluded LA compound from fellow TV host Ellen DeGeneres in 2012 for less than half his asking: $36.5 million, according to the Los Angeles Times. Eight years on, the property has skyrocketed in value thanks to increased interest in the highly affluent area and a boom in trophy estates. It also helps that Seacrest did a little remodeling and tricked out the property with luxury amenities, like a massage room and home cinema. Hey, where else is one supposed to watch Idol?

      The epic estate is located just across the street from Franklin Canyon Reservoir and offers more than three acres of resort-like grounds, with manicured lawns and spectacular ocean views. The centerpiece of the property is a 9,000-square-foot abode that was originally built by the noted architects Buff & Hensman in the ‘60s for the actor Laurence Harvey.

      The one-story home showcases an impeccable level of quality, taste and craftsmanship. Think striking exposed beams, dramatic chandeliers and expansive floor-to-ceiling windows. The layout sees four bedrooms, six bathrooms, a living room, formal dining room and an open-plan kitchen. When a little quiet is needed, there’s an office and library. Conversely, when it’s time to party, there’s a lounge with a wet bar where you can enjoy the requisite happy hour cocktail, as well as a sunroom with a pizza oven and grill.
      The amenities are, of course, fit for an A-Lister and include a mega-sized pool, a separate fitness facility, a secure underground garage and al fresco dining areas. Elsewhere, there are two sizable guesthouses and a pool house that together offer a further three bedrooms and four bathrooms.
      Kurt Rappaport of Westside Estate Agency holds the listing on the Beverly Hills property, which will be shown to pre-qualified clients only.

      Kate Winslet’s Oscar-Worthy NYC Penthouse Just Hit the Market for $5.7 Million

      by

      After more than 16 years, celebrated English actor Kate Winslet has made the, ahem, titanic decision to sell a sun-filled duplex penthouse in the heart of New York City’s artsy and upscale West Chelsea Arts District. Listed at just under $5.7 million, and located on a block lined with trees and blue-chip contemporary art galleries, the slightly more than 3,000-square foot condo was purchased in July 2004 for $4.995 million by Winslet and her then new but now ex-husband, Oscar-winning filmmaker, producer and director Sam Mendes.
      Tax records show Winslet bought out Mendes’ interest in the property in 2012, the year following their divorce, and since then the seven-time Oscar nominee, who won an Oscar in 2009 for “The Reader,” has primarily used the three-bedroom and three-and-a-half bath unit as an income producing rental that was most recently available on the open market in the fall of 2017 at $20,000 per month.
      The spacious kitchen has a full suite of appliances and large counter.  Travis Mark Photography/StreetEasy

      A long entrance gallery leads to the top-floor spread’s capacious combination living and dining room that, at nearly 48 feet long and 24 feet wide, spans more than 1,100 square feet with a head-roomy 13-foot ceiling and a dozen oversized windows on three exposures that ensure brilliant natural light all day long. An unadorned fireplace provides a minimalistic focal point for the huge space that also includes floor-to-ceiling bookshelves and a simple, arguably somewhat compact open kitchen kitted out with butcher block counters, high-end designer appliances and a doublewide island with cantilevered snack bar.
      Off the entrance gallery, two good-sized guest bedrooms share a hall bathroom, while the sunny south-facing principal bedroom features whitewashed oak floors, a huge walk-in closet and a fully modern bath with vintage fittings that include a classic claw-footed tub for two. Upstairs, a spacious room with an attached bathroom is well suited as a fourth bedroom or a family room with convenient French door access to a 1,700-square-foot roof deck that offers 270-degree city views that encompass the Highline and the Hudson River.
      The penthouse condo, which carries tax and common charges of more than $7,000 per month, is jointly listed with Douglas Elliman agents Lindsay Barton Barrett, Cristina Criado, Christina Abad and Bradley Rodenberg.
      The bright bathroom has a large claw-foot tub and separate shower.  Travis Mark Photography/StreetEasy

      Winslet is now married to Edward Abel Smith, a nephew to flamboyant billionaire Richard Branson who formerly went by the name Ned Rocknroll, and they live primarily in the U.K. where they hunker down on a multiacre estate near the seaside community of West Wittering, Sussex, about 90 miles southwest of Central London. Secreted down a private lane where it overlooks Chichester Harbor, the historic estate centers around an eight-bedroom red-brick Georgian residence and includes a giant swimming pool, lush gardens and more than 500 feet of water frontage with a private beach. She reportedly purchased the secluded property in 2011 for somewhere around its £3.25 million asking price, and she filmed the 2019 movie “Blackbird” in one of the neighboring homes.

      Home of the Week: Singer Ellie Goulding’s Historic London Townhouse Hits the Market for $7.7 Million

      by

      British singer-songwriter Ellie Goulding is hoping to lock in a sale of her historic London mews house, once home to the city’s most famous locksmith.
      Tucked away on Oldbury Place, a cobbled side street in London’s bustling Marylebone neighborhood, the five-story townhouse was once part of The Bramah Lock Company’s workshops.
      Founded in 1784 by Joseph Bramah, the company famously challenged anyone who could pick their patented Bramah Precision lock with a prize of 200 guineas—a small fortune at the time.

      The challenge stood for more than 67 years until American locksmith Alfred Hobbs succeeded, but only after 51 hours of trying, spread over 16 days.
      London-based real estate investor Boultbee LDN acquired the rundown Victorian warehouse around 2015 and transformed it into three stunning, brick-faced townhomes, burrowing down 21 feet to create two subterranean levels.
      Goulding, 33, bought the five-bedroom, 2,961-square-foot end unit in 2017 at the height of the London property boom, for £6.22 million—around $9.45 million at the time.

      Even if she gets her £5.95 million asking—around $7.7 million in today’s currency values—she’ll be in the red profit-wise.
      With its interior designed by hot London architects Stiff + Trevillion, the home has an industrial loft feel. Trendy design details include blackened steel stairs with inlaid oak treads, light wood plank flooring, matte-gray kitchen cabinetry and bronze fittings.
      An unassuming, street-level side door off Oldbury Place leads into a small foyer, with towering black-framed glass doors opening into the main, brightly lit, first-floor mezzanine living room.
      The cozy TV room.  Photo: Aston Chase/Tony Murray Photography

      A cool feature of the room is its frameless, low wall of glass that overlooks the lower-ground level with its kitchen and dining room.
      A black metal staircase leads down to the kitchen with its sleek, simple design and suite of high-end Gaggenau appliances. Close by is a dining area and casual, TV-watching space.
      In the depths of the basement are two guest bedrooms with a shared bathroom and small utility room. With little natural light, they’re definitely not spaces for the claustrophobic.

      The metal touches like this staircase give the home its industrial loft feel.  Photo: Aston Chase/Tony Murray Photography

      Back up the stairs—there’s no elevator—and the second floor is home to the primary bedroom; at 16-feet-by-11 it is far from grand, but it is in line with many other London offerings. Closet space is also on the tight side. That said, new owners could convert the second, smaller bedroom on this level into a roomy walk-in dressing room.
      Climb the stairs again up to the third-floor level, and the full-floor bedroom here is arguably the most fun, being set beneath the pitched roof with big, opening skylights.
      The home office, just off the garden.  Photo: Aston Chase/Tony Murray Photography

      No doubt much of the home’s appeal is its impressive location in one of London’s hippest areas. A five-minute stroll takes you to André Balazs’ ultra-hip Chiltern Firehouse hotel and eatery – Balazs also owns LA’s Chateau Marmont and New York’s Mercer Hotel.
      A similarly short stroll leads to London’s leafy Regent’s Park, while 10 minutes away you’re in the shopping nirvana that is Oxford Street.

      Not that the newly married “Lights” singer has been spending much time at her Oldbury Place pad. According to the London Times, she’s been spending the Covid-19 lockdown with her new hubby, MBA student Caspar Jopling, and Wallace the cat, at their cozy country cottage near Oxford.
      Socially distanced country living seems to suit the singer. In the past few days she’s listed a second London mews home she owns, this one a converted hay loft in the Paddington neighborhood.
      The rustic 2,000-square-foot, two-bedroom, three-story house is on the market for £3.25 million, or around $4.3 million.
      Both properties are listed with realtor Simon Rosenblatt, of London brokers Aston Chase.

      Don’t expect Goulding—she has a new album—Brightest Blue—to use the proceeds of both sales to go more spacious and palatial in her next purchase.
      She recently told Vogue: “I’m a bit funny when it comes to houses, because I don’t like big, big houses. I like being enclosed.

      “I did actually rent a ginormous rockstar house for a bit, and I hated it. You could hear a pin drop. It was too big, and I didn’t need any of the rooms.”
      As for where she’s buying next, she’s keeping that news firmly under lock and key.

      Winona Ryder Lists Her Dutch Colonial San Francisco Home for $5 Million

      by

      A gated courtyard entrance leads around to the side of the house were a cherry-red front door opens to a foyer that showcases original inlaid hardwood floors, leaded glass windows and a decoratively spindled switchback staircase. A street-facing formal sitting room features more leaded glass windows and a rather boring traditional fireplace with fluted pilaster accents, while a second, informal sitting room sports an all-but identical (and, thus, equally dull) fireplace. The adjoining dining area spills out via glass sliders to a spacious deck with a lovely tree-framed view over the bay toward Angel Island State Park, and the not-especially-large but carefully arranged kitchen is expensively outfitted with pale-grey quartz counters and fancy up-to-date designer appliances.
      Though there are technically three bedrooms on the upper level, floor plans show one of them includes a spacious vintage-style private bath while the other two easily function as a grand suite that comprises a shared entry vestibule off of which open a sizable walk in closet and another vintage-style bath. The larger of the suite’s two rooms has a fireplace, this one inspired by those you might see in a French chateau, and both sport glass sliders that open to the same narrow balcony from which there are views that sweep over the bay and encompass two of the city’s most famous landmarks, the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz Island.
      In addition to a single-car garage, the basement-like ground floor contains a laundry room and a finished bonus space with powder room. And, dispensing with the idea that city living means not having much outdoor space, the deck outside the dining room has stairs down to a deep backyard that incorporates a large brick terrace and a small deck hidden among trees and foliage.
      The expansive kitchen has loads of built-in storage.  Realtor.com

      It’s not clear when Ryder last occupied the house. It popped up for rent last year at $15,000 per month, and it’s been cleared of personal belongings and staged with generic furniture. However, the low-key actor and her long-time boyfriend, sustainable clothing entrepreneur Scott Mackinlay Hahn, certainly seem to have a few bi-coastal options for shacking up; She’s believed to own a prominently sited Mediterranean villa in L.A’s celeb-packed Outpost Estates neighborhood, in the foothills above Hollywood, and a few years ago Architectural Digest featured her homes in New York City, a sophisticated apartment with 18-foot-high ceilings in a landmarked downtown building, and in Beverly Hills, a modestly sized 1920s Mediterranean bungalow she restored to its original state with he savvy help of her good friend, actor/decorator Kevin Haley.

      Home of the Week: Fashion Designer Lisa Perry’s $45 Million Manhattan Penthouse Is Like a Pop-Art Museum

      by

      No, before you even ask, all that eye-poppin’ pop art, the Skittles-colored furniture and that huge, flashy-green Jeff Koons diamond sculpture on the deck are not included in the sale of this spectacular East-side Manhattan penthouse.
      Of course, you could always ask. Everything has a price. And the going rate for this 6,600-square-foot, 12-room mansion-in-the sky is $45 million.

      Fashion designer and consummate house-flipper Lisa Perry and her billionaire hedge-fund hubby Richard C. Perry have just listed their penthouse atop of the pre-war pile that is 1 Sutton Place South.

      The power couple reportedly bought the landmark apartment, which takes up the entire top floor and roof of the 14-story building, back in 2000 for $10.9 million.
      Apparently they liked the building so much that in 2014 they snapped up a three-bed unit two floors down for $7.6 million, which they’re reportedly hanging on to.

      What sets the Perry penthouse apart—in addition to its art collection—is the 6,000-plus square feet of wrap-around outdoor terraces with incredible views of the cantilevered Queensboro Bridge and East River. That, and its acres of floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the home with light.
      Built in 1927, the limestone-clad Sutton Place building was designed by famed NYC architect Rosario Candela and is considered one of Manhattan’s most exclusive addresses, beloved by financial titans, celebs and media barons.

      At one time, the Perrys’ apartment was owned by the philanthropist Janet Annenberg Hooker, sister of magazine magnate and former ambassador to the UK,  Walter Annenberg.
      One other interesting nugget is that the penthouse was originally built as a duplex with, at one time, the lower apartment belonging to fashion designer Bill Blass.
      The Perrys carried out an exhaustive renovation of the penthouse, reconfiguring it into two separate wings; one for day-to-day living, the other for entertaining.
      One of two private elevators opens on to a gallery-like foyer that leads into the vast, 34-by-22-foot living room. It features curved white walls and doors that opening to a huge, river-view terrace.

      The second wing is essentially one sprawling master suite with a main bedroom featuring expansive windows with right-there views of the Queensboro Bridge. Connected to it are vast dual dressing rooms and bathrooms, with a skylight-lit corridor leading to a cozy den and adjoining study.

      Linking the two wings is a stark white, industrial-grade kitchen with stainless-steel surfaces for the twin islands, stainless steel-faced cabinets and a Viking gas range nearly as big as an SUV.

      In total there are four bedrooms—a small staff suite could easily become a fifth bedroom—along with six full bathrooms and one half-bath.
      Arguably the exterior highlight of the penthouse is its massive 50-by-32-foot west-facing terrace that the Perrys used regularly for soirees. This white-surfaced space is home to that flashy Jeff Koons green diamond sculpture. In 2005, Richard Perry reportedly paid $2.3 million for the five-foot-tall piece, and had to hire a crane to lift it on to the roof.
      The breakfast nook.  Photo: Courtesy of Yoo Jean Han for Sotheby’s International Realty

      It was the source of some brouhaha when residents in nearby buildings complained that on sunny days, the shiny sculpture hit them with “laser beam” rays. Adjusting the diamond’s position apparently solved the problem.
      With or without the Koons diamond, the penthouse is indisputably a one-of-a-kind.
      “This is a true urban refuge, a place of tranquility and pure privacy high above the bustling pace of the city,” says broker Allison B. Koffman, who together with colleague Juliette R. Janssens of Sotheby’s International Realty, hold this listing.

      If, or more likely when, the penthouse sells, it will be the latest “flip” for the multi-tasking Lisa Perry and her husband. In July, the couple sold a 6,700-square-foot Palm Beach spread for $9.1 million.
      After they paid a reported $6.5 million for the property in May 2018, Perry renovated and re-imagined the six-bedroom home in her trademark ’60s-inspired style, using it to help launch her Lisa Perry Homes brand.

      The renovation featured widely on Perry’s website, and in the 2019 Assouline-published coffee table tome Lisa Perry: Fashion—Homes—Design.
      Interestingly, the Palm Beach home was offered with all the pop-art artwork, fixtures and funky furniture included, even a selection of carefully-selected ’60s-style clothing in the master closet.

      Maybe Perry can be convinced after all to throw in a few of her Sutton Place art pieces.

      Home of the Week: Wayne Gretzky’s Sprawling Southern California Mansion Hits the Market for $23 Million

      by

      The hockey legend they call “The Great One” is finally letting go of the sprawling Colonial-style mansion in Thousand Oaks, north of Los Angeles, that he built in 2002, sold in 2007 and bought back in 2018.
      Perched on a 6.6-acre hilltop within the gated Sherwood Country Club, this oh-so-elegant red brick home boasts 360-degree vistas of Lake Sherwood and the Santa Monica Mountains.

      Highlights include six bedrooms and eight bathrooms sprawled across 13,300 square feet, two guest houses (one of which is used as a pro-grade gym), a movie screening room, billiard room, pool, sunken tennis court and stand-alone, four-car garage.

      Gretzky, 59, called on fellow Canadian, mega-mansion architect to the stars, Richard Landry—he’s done homes for everyone from Tom Brady and Mark Wahlberg to Rod Stewart and Michael Bolton—to design this Gone With The Wind-style, columned Colonial on the elevated lot.
      After the estate’s completion in 2002, Gretzky, his wife Janet and their five children lived in it for five years. But during that time, the hockey star was working as head coach for the Phoenix Coyotes. Tired of the commute, he bought a mansion in Arizona.

      Gretzky ended up selling the California property in a lucrative off-market deal to former baseball star Lenny Dykstra for $18.5 million.
      According to reports at the time, Dykstra planned on flipping the home, but the 2008 financial collapse saw no takers. He dropped the price to $14.9 million and then $9.9 million, before heading into foreclosure.
      The kitchen.  Photo: Carsten Schertzer/The Luxury Level

      Hard to believe, but two years later in 2010, the mansion, now slightly run-down, was sold at auction to investors for an unthinkable $760,000. They reportedly held on to it until 2013, flipping it for $9.5 million.
      When the Gretzkys decided to return to Southern California in 2018, they remembered their old house and successfully bought it back for $13.5 million.
      The view from the back balcony.  Photo: Carsten Schertzer/The Luxury Level

      “In the two years they’ve lived here, they have spent literally millions of dollars on renovations and landscaping,” listing agent Arvin Haddad, of The Agency tells Robb Report. “The interior wasn’t in the best condition, so they had to do a lot of expensive work to bring it back. The detailing is now beyond remarkable.”

      From nearby Westlake Village, you pass through the Sherwood Country Club guard gate, and meander past the Jack Nicklaus-designed course to the entrance of the Gretzky estate.
      A gravel driveway leads to a circular motor court with its central fountain, large porte cochere and steps up to an imposing front door flanked by white columns.
      The double-height foyer features lovely archways and a grand curved staircase up to the second level.
      The porte cochere.  Photo: Carsten Schertzer/The Luxury Level

      Unfortunately, from an interested viewer’s point of view, that’s about as far as the images will take us. Even in the listing there are only interior images of the entryway and the high-ceiling kitchen with its marble countertops and island and professional-grade appliances.
      “The Gretzkys really prefer their privacy, even when selling their home. That’s why we haven’t released any interior shots. But trust me, inside, the home is magnificent,” says The Agency’s Haddad. But maybe the Gretzky’s don’t really want to part with their personal palace. Again.

      One real highlight, Haddad says, is the home’s 2,000-square-foot master suite. It features dual bathrooms and closets, a sitting room with cozy fireplace—one of six in the home—and access to that truly expansive terrace at the rear of the main house, with views over the pool and west to the mountains.
      Exterior highlights include a championship-size tennis court hidden on two sides by towering hedges; a stand-alone one-bedroom carriage house connected to the main house by an open bridge; and a pool, pool house and entertaining area with barbecue and wood-burning pizza oven.

      According to reports, the Gretzkys are selling to move closer to their 31-year-old daughter Paulina and her PGA-star fiance Dustin Johnson, 36, in West Palm Beach, Fla.
      Maybe in a couple of years their old California estate will be back on the market and ready for the Gretzkys to snap it up again.

      Khloe Kardashian Just Sold Her Expansive Calabasas Home For $15.5 Million

      by

      Seller: Khloe Kardashian
      Buyer: Dhar Mann
      Location: Calabasas, Calif.
      Price: $15.5 million

      The buyer, who has already announced his purchase via Instagram — naturally — is Dhar Mann, the cosmetics entrepreneur turned YouTube-famous lifestyle guru and vlogger. For the last several months, Mann and his partner Laura G have been documenting their house hunt on social media; the growing family welcomed their first child earlier this year.
      A view of the tranquil living room.  Douglas Friedman

      Built in 2005, the Tuscan villa-style compound is located in the Estates at the Oaks, a double-gated community where other homeowners include Kourtney Kardashian, Travis Barker, and Morphe cosmetics tycoons Chris and Linda Tawil. Set on a high ridge with long views of the surrounding hills, the 1.3-acre property boasts lush landscaping that belies its bone-dry Valley location, with rolling green lawns, bountiful clumps of climbing bougainvillea plants and large bunches of brightly-colored roses.
      Inside, Kardashian recruited top designers Tommy Clements and Waldo Fernandez — the same men who redid Kris Jenner’s recently-sold main residence — to transform the formerly uninspired interiors into a sophisticated modern showcase with jet-black hardwood floors, cream-colored walls, and a full array of name-brand furniture. The 9,300-square-foot house now boasts a sexy backlit bar, a delicately curved staircase in the foyer, and a dining room with garden views.
      Other amenities include a spacious guesthouse that’s a mini-replica of the main house, an outdoor bar area shaded by a thatched roof, numerous fountains and secluded patios for al fresco dining, and a large pool with inset spa.
      The home has an expansive garden.  Douglas Friedman

      Kardashian has moved to the nearby guard-gated community of Hidden Hills, where she and Tristan Thompson recently agreed to pay an eight-figure sum for an all-new modern farmhouse-style mansion that happens to sit right next door to Kris Jenner’s new house.
      As for Mann, he founded the LiveGlam beauty subscription company, which — for $19.99 per month — sends its users a monthly box of makeup products. On YouTube, Mann has more than 3.2 million subscribers on his main channel alone, and has amassed nearly 1 billion lifetime video views.
      Tomer Fridman of Compass held the listing. See more photos of the home below:

      Susan Sarandon’s Massive NYC Loft Has 60 Feet of Windows. It Can Be Yours for $7.9 Million.

      by

      The coolest room in Thelma & Louise star Susan Sarandon’s huge five-bedroom, 6,000-square-foot Manhattan duplex, might just be the smallest one.
      Painted a vibrant cobalt blue, the so-called “Academy Award bath” is the teeny guest bathroom where Sarandon, 73, displays her considerable trove of awards.
      From her Oscar for Dead Man Walking to her Screen Actors Guild award to her Glamour Woman of the Year accolade—they’re here. And taking pride of place there above the loo is the gold disc that commemorates her starring role in the 1975 classic Rocky Horror Picture Show.

      After living in this sprawling duplex for the past 29 years, Sarandon says it’s now time to let it go. With her kids grown and gone, the place is now too big. She’s priced it at a relatively modest $7.9 million, and when she sells, she plans to downsize to a smaller condo nearby.
      The native New Yorker bought the home in 1991 with former partner, actor and Bill Durham costar, Tim Robbins. When the couple split in 2011, she took over ownership.

      Located in the nine-story La Fabrique building at 147 West 15th Street, between Chelsea and Greenwich Village, the former commercial structure was constructed in 1923 and converted into condos around 1987.
      Sarandon and Robbins originally purchased the eighth-floor unit, later acquiring the apartment below and combining the two into a vast space connected by a sweeping staircase.

      A key-locked private elevator whisks you to the eighth floor and opens into a truly massive living space dominated by almost 60 feet of windows. Stark-white walls and ceilings together with light-wood flooring only add to the airy, spacious feel of the entire condo.
      In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, Sarandon called the room “The Field” because of its sheer size, and described how her children, along with a variety of actor and musician friends, would perform there, with the room’s curved, bleacher-like staircase doubling as audience seating.

      On this floor is also the open kitchen, with its grand island and bar-stool seating. Close by is a large dining area with views of the Manhattan skyline through floor-to-ceiling glass, a sunken media lounge and a cozy den with a wood-burning fireplace.

      In the huge corner library, which according to the listing, could easily be converted into a sixth bedroom, jaw-descending views stretch to the east and south, across to Union Square and the Con Edison skyscraper and over to the One World Trade Center.

      The main bedroom on this floor enjoys commanding views of the towering Empire State building. The suite comes with a stand-alone soaking tub positioned in front of glass doors leading out on to a private balcony.

      With no shortage of living space on this eighth floor, Sarandon reportedly used the floor below as huge private guest quarters. A staircase leads down into the space, with its three bedrooms, family room, a second kitchen, and its piece de resistance, a 45-foot-long terrace with more magnificent views of city landmarks.

      Throughout the two floors there’s an industrial vibe created by exposed sprinkler pipework, the free-standing iron radiators and deep-beamed ceilings.

      As for that quirky “Academy Award” bathroom, Sarandon told the Journal she thought it fun to keep the “gongs” in the smallest room. “When people come out, I expect them to be laughing, but they don’t say a thing. Maybe they think I’m taking it seriously.”

      Selling the property will no doubt be bittersweet for the movie legend and passionate activist. “We saw the towers fall on 9/11, and we saw the sun rise again the next day,” she recalls.
