      Mischa Barton’s Former Beverly Hills Estate Hits the Market for $10 Million

      by

      A new California listing just hit the market with ties to one of The O.C.’s star actresses.

      Set on over an acre of land, a Beverly Hills compound once owned by Mischa Barton can now be yours for $10 million. The six-bedroom, nine-bathroom Bowmont estate offers four beds in the main residence and one in each of the two guest houses. You’ll find most of the luxe amenities inside the 10,305-square-foot main residence that range from great rooms with soaring ceilings to a home theater to a backyard pool. Scenic views from the property also make you feel as though you’ve left the City of Angels behind and landed in Northern Italy.

      The living room with a fireplace, set next to an office area

      Upon your arrival at the estate, the main residence’s stony facade covered in cascading greenery welcomes you inside. A decorative iron door allows you to enter the interior, where you’ll spot exposed wood-beam ceilings and stone flooring—both of which are key design details you’ll notice are carried throughout the abode. The heart of the manse, on ground level, features a light-filled space surrounded by an iron-rail staircase and the nearby formal dining room. A spacious chef’s kitchen fitted with wooden cabinetry, a massive island with seating, and top-of-the-line appliances can also be found on the same floor, alongside a breakfast eating area.

      The formal living room features a decorative fireplace alongside an excess of windows and doors that lead out to the verdant grounds. An office space sits to the right of the living room space. One floor above lies the grand primary bedroom that also houses a fireplace, as well as a private balcony with scenic views of the grounds. The complimentary primary bathroom has two steam showers, a soaking tub, and four tall windows that let the light in. And to store your designer wardrobe, the space also includes two closets with excess space and views of L.A. Other luxe amenities you’ll find inside the home include a game room, a wine cellar, a home gym, and a theater room for entertaining.

      Inside the spacious primary bedroom

      Outdoors lies a backyard oasis beneath a covered loggia that is engulfed by lush greenery. Elsewhere on the grounds, you’ll find the lap pool set next to ample space for lounge seating—not to mention breathtaking views of the horizon and Italian cypress trees. A patio area, closer to the residence, also boast a spacious layout for outdoor dining and city views. When you’re ready to explore the grounds further, a stone pathway in the backyard leads you to additional views from the opulent estate.

      Aaron Kirman, Cindy Ambuehl, and Daniel Millstein of AKG | Christie’s International Real Estate hold the listing.

      Patrick Mahomes’s Ranch-Style Manse in Kansas City Just Hit the Market for $3 Million

      by

      Chiefs fans, don’t panic. Patrick Mahomes isn’t leaving Kansas City, he’s just parting ways with one of his Missouri properties. 

      The quarterback recently put a ranch-style retreat on the market for just shy of $3 million, Dirt reported. Back in 2019, Mahomes and his wife, Brittany, shelled out a cool $1.9 million for the three-bed, five-bath pad and have since given the digs a whopping $400,000 makeover. Dating back to the ‘50s, the house sits on over an acre in the city’s swanky Country Club District and measures 4,800 square feet. Of course, you don’t have to be a sports enthusiast to buy this place but assuming you fit the bill, there’s a putting green in the backyard to practice your golf game plus a heated swimming pool. 

      Inside, the midcentury spread has been redone from top-to-bottom. Think contemporary hardwood floors, built-ins galore, and tons of windows throughout. A few of the highlights include an updated sunroom that feels super bright and airy, along with an open-concept living and dining area, and a family room complete with a stone fireplace and a wet bar. Nearby, the chef’s kitchen is just as impressive, equipped with state-of-the-art appliances and an eat-in island.  

      If you’re keen on entertaining, the finished basement offers up a host of amenities. Downstairs, you’ll find a screening room, a wine cellar, a lounge, and yet another bar. If you’re a self-proclaimed sneakerhead like the two-time Super Bowl champion, you’ll appreciate that the primary suite comes with not one but two walk-in closets. It helps that the bedrooms also have a massive soaking tub and shower. 

      Even though Mahomes has officially listed his primary residence, he still counts a two-bedroom Kansas City condo and a Texas mega-manse as part of his real-estate portfolio. The NFL MVP also reportedly snagged an eight-acre parcel in Loch Lloyd and has plans to erect a custom estate and a half- field where he can hone his skills in the off-season.

      Rod Stewart’s Maximalist $70 Million L.A. Château Comes With Its Own Soccer Field

      by

      It seems like Rod Stewart no longer thinks his Los Angeles mansion is all that sexy.

      The British rock star just listed his massive North Beverly Park estate for an eye-popping $70 million, The Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday. Listing agent Michelle Oliver of Douglas Elliman wouldn’t say why Stewart had decided to give up his abode, which he bought in 1991 for a mere $12 million, and the musician’s spokesperson didn’t respond to the WSJ’s request for comment.

      The great room

      Ryan Lahiff

      The nine-bedroom main house was designed by the architect Richard Landry to look like a European château, with an imposing yellow exterior and double doors. To get to the building, you have to navigate down a long driveway featuring a motor court with a classical fountain. Once inside, you’re greeted by marble floors and Corinthian columns—ornate details that continue throughout the house, in touches such as wood paneling and crystal chandeliers.

      The primary suite contains a large sitting room, spacious closets, and a fireplace, with an outdoor terrace that looks out over the pool. The rest of the house, meanwhile, is ideal for entertaining: A formal dining room has space for 20, and a great room on the main floor comes with a bar and a raised platform where a grand piano currently sits. Elsewhere, there’s a stately library and a speakeasy decked out in green wood paneling.

      The pool area

      Ryan Lahiff

      Outside, on the almost three acres of land, you’ll find a three-story guesthouse and a full-on soccer field (Stewart is apparently a major fan of footie, according to Oliver). If you prefer indoor exercise, you can choose between two gyms on the property.

      Recently, Stewart’s former neighbor Mark Wahlberg sold his Beverly Park home for $55 million, although he had initially listed it for $87.5 million. In that same vein, Stewart’s 33,000-square-foot estate pairs its ostentatious price tag with similarly maximalist decor. But unlike the mega-expensive L.A. homes that lean modern, Oliver told The Wall Street Journal, Stewart’s manse is “something that looks different and stands out . . . This is truly bespoke.” We wouldn’t expect anything less from the man who made a hit of “Da Ya Think I’m Sexy?”

      Miami Heat Guard Victor Oladipo’s $10 Million Florida Mansion Comes With a Pro-Level Recording Studio

      by

      The Miami Heat are currently experiencing a Cinderella run in the NBA playoffs, reaching the finals to face off against Denver Nuggets. One of their shooting guards, however, is still looking for the shoe—er, house—that fits.

      Victor Oladipo, who’s out for the rest of the season following an injury in April, has listed his Miami Beach home for $10 million, The Wall Street Journal reported on Friday. The 6,500-square-foot mansion, listed by Liz Hogan at Compass Real Estate, features seven bedrooms and seven bathrooms and sits on a gated island with a host of amenities.

      One of the bedrooms

      Charles at Photostetic

      The modern estate, which was built in 2020, is larger than most other homes in the area, as it sits on one and half lots, rather than just one. That, however, isn’t quite roomy enough for Oladipo, who’s planning to buy a place with more space for his daughter to enjoy. “I would love for my daughter to have a tennis court, or just land so she can run and play around,” he told the WSJ.

      If you feel like the Hibiscus Island property offers more than enough square footage, though, you’ll be able to enjoy the home’s soaring ceilings and panoramic doors, which allow for stunning views. A number of the bedrooms come with en suite bathrooms, and the primary suite is complemented by two walk-in closets.

      Outside, a large pool is accompanied by outdoor seating where you can lounge or enjoy a meal. The guesthouse was revamped by Oladipo to contain a $50,000 recording studio, where he’s been recording songs for his next album. (The basketball player is also a vocalist, and he released an Afrobeats album in February.)

      The backyard

      Charles at Photostetic

      Oladipo bought the island estate back in 2021 for $7.8 million, choosing it in part because of its location just three miles from the Heat arena. In the first quarter of this year, homes in the Miami Beach area sold for an average of $5.4 million, a 24.2 percent increase from the year prior, according to a Douglas Elliman report cited in The Wall Street Journal.

      That puts the price of Oladipo’s home at almost double the neighborhood average—but how many of those other properties have an NBA pedigree?

      James Gandolfini Once Lived in This West Village Townhouse. Now It Can be Yours for $16.5 Million

      by

      It’s been nearly a decade since actor James Gandolfini unexpectedly died. Now, the West Village pad where The Sopranos star once lived is up for grabs.  

      Dating back to 1835, the landmarked New York City building is the only townhouse remaining on the East Side of Sullivan Street and was once the home of Wall Street financier Jay Gould. Renowned artist and sculptor Leah Poller bought the 19th-century Greek Revival mansion back in 2005 and subsequently converted it into five luxury apartments. The cleverly designed floor plans mean that the $16.5 million property could easily be turned back into a palatial single-family residence, though.

      Spanning 9,300 square feet, the abode features five bedrooms, six bathrooms, and ample living space. According to the listing, Gandolfini was said to have kept the second floor as a study while he was appearing in God of Carnage on Broadway in 2009. It also offers an impressive 2,300 square feet of private outdoor space, which Manhattanites know is a rarity. 

      The townhouse comes with 2,300 square feet of private outdoor space.

      Concrete Real Estate/Ardent Property Group

      Over the years, 179 Sullivan Street has played host to other famous residents including The O.C. actress Mischa Barton, as well as screenwriter Steven Conrad, best known for The Pursuit of Happyness (2006) and The Secret Life of Walter Mitty (2013). 

      Thanks to Poller’s preservation efforts, the 25-foot-wide residence has held onto many of its historic details, including an original curved staircase, shutters, decorative fireplaces, and archways. On the parlor level, you’ll find soaring 13-and-a-half-foot ceilings, a one-bedroom loft, a primary bedroom complete with a glass-tiled Jacuzzi, and a private terrace. Elsewhere, each of the units is decked out with a laundry, air-conditioning, and top-of-the-line appliances.  

      The seller is artist Leah Poller, who preserved and re-designed all five floors of the residence

      Concrete Real Estate/Ardent Property Group

      Down below, the ground floor is currently operating as a medical office rental, and at the very top, the 1,250-square-foot roof can be turned into pretty much anything you can dream up. In case you’re lacking in creativity, marketing materials suggested maybe a gym, sauna, or even a recording studio. Hell, you could even go full Tony Soprano and turn it into a sky-high hangout for your crew. BYO gabagool.
