      Rosie O’Donnell’s N.Y.C. Penthouse Sells at a Big Loss for $6.9 Million

      by

      After two years on the market, Rosie O’Donnell has finally managed to offload her New York City penthouse in Midtown Manhattan’s Turtle Bay neighborhood.

      The lofty residence was first offered for $8.3 million in spring 2023, then subsequently relisted for nearly $8 million before disappearing from the market and resurfacing at a discounted $7.5 million in April 2024. Now the place is under contract to be sold for $6.9 million, a whopping $1.1 million less than the $8 million the comedian and talk show host paid back in 2017. Caroline Bass of Corcoran holds the listing.

      Resting on the top two floors of the 33-story Sterling Plaza Tower, a 127-unit development built in the mid-1980s, the duplex has four bedrooms and three baths in roughly 3,600 square feet. Renovated by the previous owner, the interiors still boast Russian wide-plank oak floors, a Guggenheim-inspired staircase, and automated smart-home systems. There’s also a spacious rooftop terrace with views of the Chrysler and Empire State buildings, as well as the East River.

      Among the highlights is a window-lined living area sporting a large honed black granite wood-burning fireplace. An adjacent dining room with a wet bar and built-in window seat connects to a sleek Boffi kitchen, which is outfitted with Corian countertops, an eat-in island, a wine fridge, and high-end Gaggenau and Miele appliances.

      The Boffi kitchen comes with an eat-in island and a wine refrigerator that holds 70 bottles.

      The private primary suite is decked out with six custom-designed closets, an additional walk-in closet, and a marble-clad bath with heated floors, dual vanities, a freestanding soaking tub, and a glass-encased steam shower. Elsewhere is a Swedish sauna for two. Rounding it all out is access to a 24-hour doorman and concierge courtesy of a $5,119 monthly maintenance charge.

      The Long Island-born actress, who has starred in Harriet the Spy, The Flintstones, and A League of Their Own, recently relocated to Ireland with her child Clay because of American politics, according to the New York Post, which first reported the sale. “Although I was never someone who thought I would move to another country, that’s what I decided would be best for myself and my 12-year-old child,” O’Donnell said in a TikTok video earlier this month. “And here we are.”

      A Former NFL Star’s $7 Million Fort Lauderdale Mansion Has Its Own Football Field

      by

      Mike Pouncey was a force to be reckoned with on the field, and his Fort Lauderdale mansion is just as much of a powerhouse. The former Miami Dolphins center and Florida Gators star has listed his sprawling waterfront estate for $6.95 million with Kimberly Knausz with ONE Sotheby’s International Realty. And in true gridiron legend fashion, it comes complete with its very own football field. 

      Located in the prestigious Las Olas Isles neighborhood, the modern three-story marvel sits on an oversized double lot with 100 feet of prime waterfront. Behind its sleek glass walls, the home sports five spacious ensuite bedrooms, six and a half bathrooms, and an open-concept design that maximizes natural light and canal views. Floor-to-ceiling windows give the place a stadium-like grandeur, while soaring ceilings create an airy, expansive feel.

      The gourmet kitchen is a chef’s dream, featuring top-of-the-line appliances, custom cabinetry, and an oversized island that’s ideal for serving up Super Bowl spreads. Fitness buffs will appreciate the dedicated gym, which includes floor-to-ceiling windows, a sauna, and a rooftop terrace with panoramic views of downtown Fort Lauderdale. The home is fully integrated with smart home technology, ensuring effortless control of lighting, climate, security, and entertainment. 

      Out back, Pouncey’s estate truly sets itself apart. The resort-style backyard features a stunning swimming pool and spa, a summer kitchen, and an outdoor entertainment area worthy of a championship celebration. But the real showstopper? A custom-built football field, complete with a Miami Dolphins logo at midfield. 

      Not just for pigskin enthusiasts, the backyard is a sports lover’s paradise and also includes a putting green, basketball hoop, and soccer goal. With 100 feet of deep-water frontage, a private dock, and direct ocean access with no fixed bridges, the property is also a dream for boaters.

      The football field can also be used as a soccer pitch.

      For years, Fort Lauderdale’s Las Olas Isles has been a premier destination for the affluent and influential, drawing high-profile names such as Gloria Vanderbilt, Sonny Bono and Cher, and Blockbuster billionaire H. Wayne Huizenga. Pouncey, who played 10 seasons in the NFL before retiring with the Los Angeles Chargers, is trading in his South Florida oasis for a 220-acre ranch in Okeechobee, also in Florida, The New York Post reported. But for the next lucky owner, this estate is a touchdown waiting to happen.

      Diane Keaton’s Pinterest-Inspired Home in L.A. Is Up for Grabs at $28.9 Million

      by

      After nearly 14 years of ownership, Diane Keaton has decided to part ways with her Los Angeles digs in the horse-friendly Sullivan Canyon community on the border of Brentwood and Pacific Palisades. The Oscar-winning Annie Hall actress, interior design author, and prolific house flipper is asking $28.9 million for the sprawling residence, which sits right next door to a place owned by fellow Hollywood legend Ben Affleck. Andrew Gulyas of Destination Home holds the listing.

      Records show Keaton doled out $4.7 million for the property in 2011 and then set out to create her combination barn/factory dream home. Using the photo-sharing app Pinterest for inspiration, she enlisted architect David Takacs and designers Stephen Shadley, Cynthia Carlson, and Toben Windahl to convert an existing house into an all-new earthquake- and fire-resistant rustic-industrial structure that was completed in 2015. She later penned a book based on the project called The House That Pinterest Built.

      The main living area is spotlighted by a fireplace etched into a whitewashed brick wall stretching to the ceiling.

      Fully clad inside and out with 75,000 reclaimed clay bricks she handpicked and had shipped from Chicago and capped by a steel roof donning a silo, the eye-catching residence features five bedrooms and seven baths in roughly 9,200 square feet of living space on two levels adorned throughout with a mix of hardwood, brick, and stained concrete floors, French and sliding barn doors, and large steel-framed commercial windows for loads of natural light.

      Nestled amid a walled and gated parcel spanning nearly three-quarters of an acre within the Riviera Ranch enclave, which was developed by noted architect Cliff May, the walled and gated dwelling is highlighted by a main living area sporting high wood-beam ceilings dotted with large metal pendant light fixtures and a fireplace embedded within a whitewashed brick wall. Also standing out is an expansive sky-lit kitchen, which boasts a blue-gray island and matching cabinetry accented with chicken wire, a tall Sub-Zero cooler and an oversized vintage cabinet for wine storage, and a walk-in pantry.

      Centered around a striking staircase, the library is lined with bookshelves accessible via a rolling ladder.

      Elsewhere is a formal dining room, as well as a library with built-in bookshelves and a pair of primary suites. Once outside, the inviting tree-laced grounds host a rustic wood-clad guesthouse nestled alongside a heated pool with a spillover spa, along with a fireside patio ideal for alfresco lounging and entertaining. There’s also a circular driveway leading to a spacious motor court flanked by a detached two-car garage, and lest someone forget where they are, some massive 3-D letters hanging on a brick wall that spell out California.

      Hollywood Hypenate Peter Horton’s Spanish-Style Home in L.A. Lists for $8 Million

      by

      Many years after his run as literary professor Gary Shepherd on the Emmy-winning TV series thirtysomething made him a household name, Peter Horton doled out $2.6 million for a quintessential California Spanish home on the Westside of Los Angeles. Now the actor, who has since transitioned into directing and producing high-profile shows like Grey’s Anatomy and New Amsterdam, has decided to put the Santa Monica digs he has owned since 2002 up for sale, asking a smidge under $8 million. David Offer of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties holds the listing.

      Built and designed in the late 1990s by architect Bob Ramirez, the striking creamy stucco and terracotta-roof structure is tucked away behind hedges and gates, amid a corner parcel of land spanning less than a quarter of an acre. Inside, five bedrooms and six baths are spread across roughly 5,100 square feet of multi-level living space boasting a mix of hardwood and Saltillo tile floors, vaulted wood-beam ceilings, arched doorways, built-ins, and French doors in every room spilling out to multiple terraces and balconies.

      The living room is topped by an iron-railed loft that serves as a library.

      A stone walkway passes through a private courtyard on its way up to the hand-carved wood front door, which opens into an entry foyer that leads to an office and a double-height living room spotlighted by a wood-burning stone fireplace, a minstrel balcony, and a library loft. There’s also a formal dining room, plus a family room that connects to a spacious kitchen sporting custom cabinetry, a sink-equipped island, top-tier Viking and Sub-Zero appliances, and a breakfast nook.

      Other highlights include a primary suite flaunting a trio of balconies, dual fitted closets, a separate office retreat, and a spa-like bath with dual vanities and a large walk-in shower, as well as a top-floor mediation room adorned with wraparound windows and a cozy built-in sofa. Per the marketing materials, there’s also a rooftop terrace offering city skyline views.

      The spacious kitchen flows to a family room with wood-trimmed French doors leading outside.

      As for the grassy grounds, they’re laced with mature gardens and host a tiered fountain, a sandy children’s play area, and a raised vegetable planter. A detached two-car garage can also be found on the premises, which are sited near the beach and the bustling Montana Avenue shopping and dining district.

      The 71-year-old Washington native, who was married to actress Michelle Pfeiffer for much of the ’80s and has long maintained a two-bedroom, one-bath oceanfront cottage in the California town of Cambria, was named one of People magazine’s “50 Most Beautiful People” while he was on thirtysomething. In addition to Grey’s Anatomy and New Amsterdam, Horton has also directed and produced The Shield, The Wonder Years, The Philanthropist, and American Odyssey.

      Gawker Founder Nick Denton Is Selling His N.Y.C. Condo for $3.5 Million

      by

      Soho has long been a magnet for New York’s arts and culture glitterati, drawing in A-listers like Justin Timberlake, Gigi Hadid, and Daniel Craig. And now, a loft with its own notable owner has come up for grabs in the coveted neighborhood. The airy condo at 76 Crosby Street, home to Gawker Media founder Nick Denton, has hit the market for $3.5 million with Pamela D’Arc of Compass as the British digital media pioneer and his family prepare to move across the pond.

      The two-bedroom, two-bath loft offers a blend of historic charm and modern convenience. The second-floor corner spread, accessible via a private entrance or through the building’s doorman-monitored lobby, strikes the perfect balance between the exclusivity of a townhouse and the security of a full-service building. 

      Ceilings soar to nearly 13 feet high, and wraparound southeast-facing windows flood the open-plan great room with natural light. Three cast iron columns and an original wooden ceiling beam serve as architectural reminders of Soho’s industrial past, while sleek contemporary finishes, including a stainless-steel chef’s kitchen, anchor the home firmly in the present.

      The modernized apartment retained an original wooden ceiling beam and several cast iron columns.

      The grand, open-concept living and dining area spans nearly 30 feet, framed by seven towering and deep-set windows cleverly designed with cushioned seats and inset bookshelves. The adjacent kitchen is a chef’s dream, outfitted with a Viking six-burner cooktop, SubZero fridge, wine cooler, and Miele wall oven. Meanwhile, the expansive second bedroom offers flexibility—it can easily serve as a media room, den, or additional entertaining space. 

      Tucked away for ultimate privacy, the primary suite is a serene escape from the city’s non-stop hustle. A spa-like teak-clad bath features a Japanese soaking tub and rain shower, while two dressing closets provide ample storage. “My favorite room is the nook, opposite the bedroom in the master suite,” Denton said in a statement. “It’s where I do my work and watch the trucks make deliveries with the kids on Crosby Street. Suburban kids might be into dogs and cats; ours are city kids whose first words in the morning are ‘truck’ and ‘fire engine.’”

      A oversized second bedroom is easily converted into a media room or home office.

      Kate Glicksberg

      This isn’t Denton’s first attempt to sell the place; back in 2016, it hit the market for $4.25 million, according to listing records. It was also rented out for $14,000 a month. During his occupancy, the media mogul famously ran the now-defunct Gawker empire right out of his Soho apartment, a website about media and culture that he founded alongside Elizabeth Spiers in 2002. Now, the 2,152-square-foot space is ready for its next chapter.  

      “For the last few years, I’ve been shuttling back and forth between Europe and New York,” Denton added. “So, I compare the apartment to hotels in London and Paris.  And I appreciate our home even more. Croissants for breakfast from the French bakery across the way, business meetings in the red-leather booths in Balthazar, and Equinox just a block away — better than any hotel gym. Five stars!” 

      Fun fact: Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos owned the building’s duplex penthouse from 2005 until 2014, when they sold it for $20 million to real estate developer Alex Adjmi.
