    Judy Garland and Liza Minnelli’s Former Seaside Rental in Cape Cod Lists for $6.8 Million

    A quintessential New England escape rented by the late and legendary actress and singer Judy Garland in the early 1960s while her daughter, Liza Minnelli, was performing and working at the Cape Cod Melody Tent has just returned to the market in the charming village of Hyannis Port, right across from the storied Kennedy Compound.

    Last sold in fall 1990 for $930,000, the coastal estate was initially put up for sale in January at $7.5 million for the first time in more than three decades. Subsequently reduced and then removed from the listings in mid-June, it’s now back with a slimmed-down $6.8 million ask. Paul Grover and and Matthew de Groot of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Robert Paul Properties hold the listing.

    A nearly 900-square-foot wraparound porch is ideal for relaxing and entertaining.

    Affectionately known by locals as the Judy Garland House and set amid a third of an acre, the roughly 5,000-square-foot cedar-shingled residence was originally built over a century ago in 1890. Seamlessly blending modern updates with original details, the two-story home spans about 5,000 square feet, including a separate guest wing above the attached two-car garage.

    Introducing the property is a vast, partly enclosed wraparound porch overlooking sweeping views of the Hyannis Harbor and the Nantucket Sound. From there, a living room sports a whitewashed beam ceiling, a fireplace with a stone surround, and a built-in window seat. Other highlights include a fireside sitting room, a formal dining room that opens to a deck, and an eat-in kitchen with all-white cabinetry, newer stainless appliances, a walk-in pantry, and access to an outdoor dining patio and shower.

    A Luxury Marketing Guru’s Picturesque Retreat in California’s Carmel Valley Lists for $13 Million

    After six years of ownership, Emma Gwyther has decided to put her sprawling estate in California’s affluent Carmel Valley enclave up for sale. The luxury auto and lifestyle brand marketer—known for crafting global campaigns and experiential events for an A-list clientele that includes the likes of Ferrari, Rolls-Royce, Bugatti, Aston Martin, and Maserati—is looking to sell the stylish residence for a dash under $13 million.

    Records show the founder and CEO of the South Carolina-based Interluxe Group acquired the property in 2019 for $1.6 million. She subsequently rebuilt the former 1970s home on the site, working in collaboration with DMC Builders and interior designer Sharon Cleland of J Banks Design Group to create the new modern retreat that’s now on the market. Tim Allen of Coldwell Banker Realty holds the listing.

    Resting on over three acres in the desirable Miramonte neighborhood, just minutes from Carmel-by-the-Sea, the entire spread includes a main home and a guesthouse with a combined total of four bedrooms and five baths across roughly 5,400 square feet. A pool, a secluded spa, fireside conversation areas, and several terraces offer sweeping views of the valley and rolling hills, while an attached two-car garage is flanked by a pea gravel motor court. 

    Clad in creamy stucco and stone and capped with a slate tile roof, the main three-bedroom, four-bath home boasts a mix of wide-plank oak and tile floors, plaster walls, and a trio of fireplaces across two levels. In addition to a swath of antiques, special touches include wallpaper by Designers Guild and Gucci; fabrics by Kravet, and Colefax and Fowler; and custom furnishings by Rose Tarlow, Holland MacRae, and Madeline Stuart. 

    The wallpapered primary bedroom opens out to a private balcony with hillside views.

    Among the other highlights is a living room flaunting a decorative stone fireplace, a rustic wood-beam ceiling, steel-framed glass doors on both sides, and a bar tucked around the corner.

Topping it all off is the guesthouse, which sits opposite the pool and an open-air cabana and comes with a bedroom, an outdoor tub and shower, and an enclosed patio hosting a kitchenette with a Big Green Egg.

    Jane’s Addiction Frontman Perry Farrell’s Former L.A. Home Lists for $2.7 Million

    More than 15 years after rocker Perry Farrell sold his Los Angeles home in the artsy, seaside community of Venice for just over $1.4 million in lieu of a bigger place for his family, the Jane’s Addiction lead singer and Lollapalooza founder’s former residence has once again surfaced for sale. Dubbed the Farrell House, the cubist digs are now on the market for $2.7 million. Laci Buller of Compass holds the listing.

    Records show Farrell paid around $310,000 for the property in the early 1990s. The musician subsequently enlisted modernist architect Steven Ehrlich to transform the original 1940s bungalow on the site into a contemporary, Asian-influenced oasis before offloading the place to the current owner in spring 2010 for $1.4 million.

    The great room is topped by a double-height barrel ceiling in maple veneer.

    Tucked away on a compact parcel spanning less than a quarter of an acre, just minutes from the area’s bustling Abbot Kinney Boulevard and picturesque canals, the dark-hued and red-trimmed structure features roughly 2,000 square feet of open-plan living space across two levels boasting three bedrooms and two baths. A striking maple veneer, barrel-vaulted ceiling runs the entire length of the house.

    Among the highlights is a spacious living/media room sporting a massive glossy red and blue tile fireplace and pocketing sliding glass walls leading outside. There are also surround-sound speakers, a custom AV cabinet, a coffee table with a built-in projector, and a valance concealing an automated movie screen and a blue screen for video production. A dining area adjoins the wood-clad kitchen, which is outfitted with a tall and slender stained-glass window, a breakfast peninsula, and top-tier stainless appliances.

    A mosaic-tiled lap pool in the hedged backyard has a pergola-shaded sitting area on one end.

    Celebrity Photographer Alexi Lubomirski Is Selling His Picture-Perfect New York Estate for $2.2 Million

    Alexi Lubomirski has taken Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s engagement and royal wedding photos. He’s also captured striking images of everyone from Beyoncé to Julia Roberts for Harper’s Bazaar, Vogue, and more.  But one of the celebrity and fashion lensman‘s lesser-known works can be found in the peaceful and affluent New York suburb of Mahopac, about 45 minutes from Manhattan, where he and his environmental activist wife Giada have spent the past two decades restoring and modernizing a charming centuries-old farmhouse.

    Originally built in 1825 for one of the area’s largest agriculturalists and acquired by the couple in 2015 for a mere $550,000, the meticulously preserved and updated residence is now back on the market for a dash under $2.2 million. Alissa Kronovet of Houlihan Lawrence holds the listing, with all the pad’s antique furnishings available for purchase separately.

There’s also a six-seat dining room, plus a newly renovated kitchen outfitted with custom sage-hued cabinetry, butcher block countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a large butler’s pantry holding a second refrigerator.

    Roseanne Barr’s 46-Acre Ranch in Hawaii Sparks a Bidding Frenzy and Sells in Just One Week

    Roseanne Barr didn’t waste any time cashing out on her slice of Hawaiian paradise. Her 46-acre ranch near Honokaa on the Big Island sparked a bidding frenzy after it was put up for sale in August 2025 and sold just one week later for $2.6 million—well above its $1.95 million asking price.

    “We sold the property for $650,000 over asking, attracting buyers from five states, the Neighbor Islands, and three European countries,” listing agent Paul Stukin of Deep Blue HI told Robb Report. “It’s a clear reflection of the strong demand for unique Hawai‘i properties.”

    Perched along the lush Hamakua Coast, the sprawling estate first drew attention as the backdrop for Barr’s 2011 reality series Roseanne’s Nuts, which followed her, her partner Johnny Argent, and son Jake Pentland as they tried their hands at farming. The series lasted just one season.

    The Honokaa property, surrounded by macadamia orchards, appeared on the reality show Roseanne’s Nuts.

    Far from the Hollywood spotlight, Barr was drawn to Hawaii for both family and lifestyle reasons and moved there permanently in 2007. “I had always traveled yearly with my family to Hawaii—it was an essential summer getaway,” she told Robb Report in August. She purchased the Honokaa property with the goal of building a self-sufficient home, cultivating the land, and giving back to the local community by helping feed struggling families.

    The main house measures 2,716 square feet residence with four bedrooms.

    Hawaii Realty Solutions

    The roughly 2,700-square-foot main house sits amid more than 4,000 macadamia trees, along with avocado, finger lime, apple banana, and tangerine groves, offering sweeping ocean and landscape views from a broad lanai. The grounds include a pool with a waterslide, a pool house, an art studio, a greenhouse, a bamboo-enclosed outdoor shower and soaking tub, and a garage/workshop—perfect for anyone ready to embrace island living to the fullest. Inside, high ceilings, open-plan layouts, and walls of glass create a bright, airy interior that brings the surrounding landscape into every room.

    “Hawaii will always hold a special place in my heart, but I’m getting too old to do as much as I used to,” Barr said. “The land deserves someone with the spirit and energy to care for it the way it should be.” After nearly two decades of stewardship, she is moving on, retaining a smaller property in Waimea while relocating to Texas to focus on new ventures.

    NFL Star Grady Jarrett Is Asking $6.3 Million for His Georgia Home

    While he was still playing for the Atlanta Falcons back in 2020, two-time NFL Pro Bowler Grady Jarrett doled out $3.5 million for a home on the outskirts of Atlanta. Now, after signing on to the Chicago Bears, the veteran defensive lineman has decided to hand over the keys to the residence with a nearly $3 million jump in price, asking $6.25 million. Robin Collins of Ansley Real Estate/Christie’s International Real Estate holds the listing.

    Resting amid a wooded parcel spanning over two acres in the suburban enclave of Sandy Springs, the modern structure was built in 2008 and extensively renovated by Jarrett during his tenure. Inside, seven bedrooms and 10 baths are spread across 11,480 square feet of three-level living space boasting dark hardwood floors, high ceilings, arched doorways, detailed ironwork, natural stone accents, and six fireplaces.

    The family room is anchored by a floor-to-ceiling backlit onyx fireplace.

    A double-gated cobblestone driveway flows seamlessly to a spacious motor court, with steps leading up to a custom metal and glass door that opens into a tri-level living space anchored by a double-height entry foyer with a curving wrought iron-railed staircase and a massive crystal chandelier. From there, a formal dining room and a bar-equipped family room connect to a quartz-clad kitchen outfitted with dual islands and top-notch stainless appliances, while a primary suite has a two-way fireplace, a separate sitting room, and a luxe bath with a step-up soaking tub.

    Holding court upstairs is a secondary primary suite, plus the en suite guest bedrooms and an au pair suite with its own kitchenette and private entrance. The terrace level comes with a backlit onyx bar, a full kitchen, a temperature-controlled wine cellar and tasting room, a movie theater, a guest suite, a gym, and a “recovery room” sporting a sauna, a cold plunge, and a hot tub.

    The waterfall-fed pool has a Baja shelf, spillover spa, and fire features.

    Topping it all off are the turfed grounds, which are spotlighted by a waterfall-fed pool with a Baja shelf and a spillover spa, as well as an outdoor kitchen, fire pits, and a basketball court bearing a “G” logo. There’s also a porte-cochère leading to a four-car garage, along with a custom playhouse built for his and wife Aja’s 4-year-old son, Grayson, and a custom-built, temperature-controlled doghouse.

    Jarrett, the son of former NFL great Jessie Tuggle, agreed to a three-year, $43.5 million contract with the Bears in March and has already doled out $4.25 million for an eight-bedroom, 18,241-square-foot mansion in the Vernon Hills suburb north of the city, per the Chicago Tribune. The 31-year-old Atlanta native was originally drafted out of Clemson University 137th overall by the Falcons in the fifth round of the 2015 NFL draft.
