    Heather and Terry Dubrow’s Beverly Hills Estate Lists for $25 Million

    It’s been barely two years since Heather and Terry Dubrow doled out $16.1 million for a sprawling estate in the mountains above Beverly Hills, replete with jaw-dropping vistas stretching from Downtown L.A. to the Pacific Ocean. Now, after some slight tweaks, the married reality TV stars are already looking to hand over the keys to the stately 90210 compound, asking a substantially increased $25 million. The listing is held by Josh Altman of Douglas Elliman California and Josh Flagg of Compass.

    The Dubrows—she a Real Housewives of Orange County cast member, and he a plastic surgeon known for his work on Botched—picked up the home in July 2023 from the estate of the late filmmaker Martha De Laurentiis. She and her legendary producer husband Dino De Laurentiis, who passed away back in 2010, paid around $2.8 million for the spread almost four decades ago and then undertook an extensive customization of the premises. Before that, the home was also owned by millionaire restaurateur Steve Crane, the former husband of Lana Turner, who sold the place to Where Love Has Gone author Harold Robbins in 1978 for a mere $850,000.

    Built in the 1940s, the two-story traditional structure is hidden away behind a lengthy gated driveway and a spacious motor court amid eight-plus bluff-top acres overlooking Benedict Canyon in the Beverly Hills Post Office area. Inside, five bedrooms and nine baths are spread across almost 9,000 square feet of two-level living space introduced via a double-height foyer displaying a sweeping dual staircase.

    Other highlights include a sun-drenched living room boasting French doors spilling out to the backyard, plus a cozy fireside den, a formal dining room with a fireplace, and a wood-clad kitchen outfitted with stone countertops, an eat-in peninsula, and top-tier stainless appliances. Elsewhere is an upstairs primary suite that comes with a seating area, a private balcony, and dual walk-in closets and baths, along with a library and a media room.

    Outdoors, the grounds host a swimming pool surrounded by an expansive brick deck holding a hot tub, a kitchen setup, and several spots ideal for alfresco lounging and entertaining. There’s also a full-size tennis court and an attached three-car garage.

    In addition to their Beverly Hills mansion, the couple also lays claim to a swank Roberto Cavalli-designed penthouse in the Century City neighborhood of Los Angeles that they paid Russian billionaire Sergey Grishin $14 million for in 2022. And though they sold their elaborate Newport Coast mansion known as the Dubrow Chateau three years ago to medical device tycoon Xu Hang for a record-breaking $55 million, they still maintain a residence in Orange County.

    Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones’s Former L.A. Condo Hits the Market for $7 Million

    You might not have been fortunate enough to snag their picturesque 12-acre estate in New York that was recently up for grabs, complete with 130 feet of waterfront footage on the Hudson River. But now’s your chance to pick up Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones’s former Los Angeles condo at the iconic I.M. Pei-designed Century Towers residential complex on the Avenue of the Stars; that is, of course, if you have a few million dollars burning a hole in your proverbial pocket.

    After more than a decade of ownership, current owner Judy Glickman Lauder is looking to hand over the keys to the celeb-pedigreed pad for a smidge under $7 million. Records show the Hollywood power couple bought a pair of adjacent condos in separate transactions in the late 1990s and subsequently combined the corner units before selling the whole kit and caboodle to the photographer and her late husband Leonard Lauder, the billionaire son of beauty mogul Estée Lauder, in 2003 for $1.85 million.

    Resting on the 23rd floor in one of two identical 28-story high-rises—which have been home through the years to showbiz movers and shakers such as Lana Turner, Diana Ross, Berry Gordy, Burt Lancaster, and Karen Carpenter—the three-bedroom, three-bath abode features roughly 2,600 square feet of Lauder-furnished living space boasting dark cabinetry paired with multi-colored slate walls and floors, plus large expanses of glass offering sweeping views of the city skyline and Hillcrest Country Club golf course.

    Among the highlights is a spacious peach-hued living area sporting floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors spilling open to an alfresco dining terrace. There’s also a wet bar-equipped dining room, a laundry nook, and a kitchen outfitted with a breakfast bar and premium stainless appliances. Other amenities include a family room with a built-in entertainment center, along with a spacious primary retreat flaunting a slate-tiled bath spotlighted by a freestanding clawfoot soaking tub.

    Topping it all off are plenty of building amenities courtesy of a $4,262 monthly HOA charge, including a 24-hour guard-gated entry, a concierge, valet parking, a fitness center and sauna, a full-length lap pool, a putting green, and tennis courts.

    “A living piece of Hollywood history, this home still reflects the timeless taste and style of its original celebrity owners…down to the last detail,” says Alphonso Lascano, who holds the listing with Bjorn Farrugia, both of Carolwood Estates.

    Liam Neeson Puts a $10.8 Million Price on His Park-View Manhattan Pied-à-Terre

    Liam Neeson first hoisted his New York City apartment on the market early last year with a nearly $12.8 million price tag, but it still hasn’t been taken. Now the Ireland-born movie star’s longtime Manhattan digs have popped up for sale again, this time with a substantially reduced $10.8 million ask and new broker Matthew Coleman of Coleman Real Estate Group holding the listing.

    Records show Neeson and his late wife, English actress Natasha Richardson, acquired the combined three-unit property at the luxury Park Millennium building in the Upper West Side neighborhood of Lincoln Square from the developer in 1999 for around $3.9 million. Sprawled across the 28th floor of the 56-story residential tower, the corner spread has five bedrooms and five baths in a little more than 4,500 square feet boasting glossy, caramel-hued hardwood floors, high ceilings, and custom built-ins throughout.

    An entry foyer and gallery lead to a voluminous great room bordered by a ribbon of picture windows offering up picturesque city skyline and Central Park views, while a combined living and dining area connects to an eat-in kitchen outfitted with custom cabinetry and top-tier stainless appliances. Secluded in a separate wing is the spacious primary suite, which comes with a walk-in closet and dual baths, as well as a library/office and gym.

    There are also ample building amenities courtesy of a $5,315 monthly common charge, including a 24-hour doorman and concierge, along with a fitness center sporting a pool and basketball court.

    The secluded primary suite comes complete with its own library and gym.

    The Longtime L.A. Home of ‘Sleepless in Seattle’ Producer Lynda Obst Lists for $2.6 Million

    Sleepless in Seattle? More like sweet dreams in L.A.

    The longtime home of the late producer Lynda Obst—who worked on the Nora Ephron classic, along with films such as How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, Interstellar, and Contact—has hit the market for $2.6 million. Obst purchased the Silver Lake property back in 2002 for $822,000, according to property records, and she owned the place until her death in October. Heather T. Roy and Learka Bosnak, known professionally as Heather & Learka, hold the listing at Douglas Elliman.

    The living room has one of three fireplaces found in the circa 1940 home.

    Anthony Barcelo

    Dating back to 1940, the home was built by the architect Harry Hayden Whiteley for Edwin S. Rice, the co-founder of the Krispy Kake Cone Company. Art Deco influences like the curvature inside have been retained, while otherwise the house has been updated with modern, colorful touches and appliances. Standouts include a bright-pink door, red railing along the winding stone staircase, and a floral inset window in the living room.

    Altogether, the Moreno Highlands property encompasses four bedrooms and three and a half bathrooms. Upstairs bedrooms have access to one of the multiple sun decks, while another bedroom skews from the overall design palette—it’s completely paneled in tongue and groove pine paneling, imbuing the space with a woodsy, cabin-like feel. Elsewhere, you’ll find a cozy study and three fireplaces.

    One of the bedrooms bucks the overall design trends for a cabin-like vibe.

    Anthony Barcelo

    Outside, the yard has been landscaped to a T, and there’s even a small greenhouse for those who want to flex their green thumb. Depending on the weather, you can take a dip in either the hot tub or the cold plunge. Or you can simply enjoy the outdoor seating and take in the views of the San Gabriel Mountains in the distance—when they were covered with snow in the winter, Obst would call them “the Silve Lake Alps.”

    Obst was originally born in the suburbs of New York City, but she eventually moved to Los Angeles with her then-husband and began working in the film industry. Throughout her career, she was known as a champion of women, with many of her films focusing on female-led stories. Along with her Silver Lake home, she owned a ranch in Fredericksburg, Texas, that was her “happy place,” according to The New York Times. She died in October at the age of 74 from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

    The CEO of BlockGen Is Selling His 28th-Floor Miami Beach Condo for $26 Million

    A fintech mogul is logging out of his South Florida home.

    Bill Roy, the founder and CEO of BlockGen, is parting ways with his ocean-view Miami Beach condominium. Known for his expertise in financial technology, Roy’s career has taken him from roles as a lead mortgage banking analyst at Merrill Lynch to a portfolio manager at Arco Investments. He later launched the private equity firm JAM Partners before founding BlockGen, a company dedicated to transforming mortgage technology with its LoanPASS system.

    Now, Roy is selling his lavish, gut-renovated residence at the Continuum, at the southern tip of South Beach, for $25.9 million with Eddy Martinez and Roland Ortiz with The Worldwide Group at ONE Sotheby’s International Realty, along with Natalia Gryczynska of Hilton & Hilton.

    According to The Real Deal, Roy dropped $12.1 million on the two-unit combination condo back in 2021—about half of what he’s currently seeking. Spanning 4,776 square feet, the 28th-floor spread offers three bedrooms and three and a half bathrooms, with panoramic views to the east and southwest, showcasing both sunrises over the turquoise waters and dramatic sunsets over the city skyline. Designed with meticulous attention to detail, the home is offered fully turnkey, with a selection of high-end furnishings by B&B Italia and Minotti, curated by Gallerie Noire.

    The open, sun-flooded layout includes a formal salon with an oceanfront bar, multiple lounges, and a formal dining area. European wide-plank wood floors, custom LED-lit millwork, and architectural lighting add to the contemporary sophistication. The chef’s kitchen, equipped with Wolf appliances, includes Viola marble counters, brass accents, and a large island with an integrated snack bar. A wall of windows connects to a rotunda balcony that’s perfect for entertaining.

    The principal suite provides both seclusion and plush comfort. In addition to a sunrise terrace, a separate lounge, a private office, and a dressing room, the spa bath is adorned in book-matched marble with a steam shower and heated floors. Elsewhere, the sky-high pad is decked out with a media room, family room, and office, as well as two private entrance lobbies, plus a staff entrance and dual laundry areas.

    Located within Continuum’s 13-acre oceanfront enclave, the residence’s $5,714 per month association fee—not to mention an annual tax bill of about a quarter million dollars—provides residents and guests access to a slate of world-class amenities, including a beach club, private restaurant, tennis courts, expansive fitness center, and swanky on-site med-spa.

    A Pair of Hollywood Insiders Just Listed Their Kaleidoscopic L.A. Home for $5.7 Million

    This vividly hued Los Angeles residence has hosted its fair share of fancy shindigs overflowing with celebrity guests, all courtesy of longtime owners Brian Loucks and Cedering Fox‘s popular music and literary salons. Now the endearingly eclectic midcentury-modern gem has surfaced on the market for the first time in almost three decades, asking a smidge under $5.7 million.

    The couple—he a veteran music agent for Creative Artists Agency, and she probably best known as a live announcer for the Oscars—purchased the 1950s home in fall 1997 for a mere $735,000 and then remodeled the place with “an exceptional fusion of artistic vision and impeccable design,” per the listing held by Alexandra Pfeifer of Sotheby’s International Realty-Pacific Palisades Brokerage. Before that, the house was originally owned by the late William Roberts, creator of The Donna Reed Show and a screenwriter for The Magnificent Seven.

    The yellow kitchen has a breakfast nook that spills onto to a terrace.

    Tucked away at the end of a secluded cul-de-sac on nearly a half-acre parcel in Studio City‘s Fryman Canyon neighborhood—the same area George Clooney sold his compound last year for $14.5 million to Olivia Culpo and Christian McCaffrey—the two-story structure offers five bedrooms and four baths in roughly 3,700 square feet of living space boasting brilliant pops of color and lively patterns throughout.

    Especially standing out is the bright green living/piano room, where the pair has staged their live “Living Room Series” and “WordTheatre” events with top names in music, film, and TV—Keith Urban, Florence & the Machine, the Zac Brown Band, Tim McGraw, Sharon Stone, Bill Pullman, the cast of Grey’s Anatomy, Carrie Underwood, John Legend, H.E.R., and John Mayer, to name a few.

    The landscaped grounds are spotlighted by a blue-tiled swimming pool that lights up at night.

    An adjacent dining area is spotlighted by a custom wet bar hidden behind closet doors, while the yellow kitchen has stainless appliances and a breakfast nook with sliding glass doors leading out to an alfresco dining terrace. Elsewhere is a bookshelf-lined den/library that comes with large picture windows overlooking a sculpture garden and canyon views.

    Not to be left out is an upstairs primary suite with an office niche, plus a gym and a cherry red laundry room. Then there’s the private landscaped grounds, which include a bubbling fountain, a particularly eye-catching fireplace, and an iridescent blue-tiled pool encased within a sundeck. Rounding it all out: a detached sound studio and office, along with a two-car garage.
