    A Cleveland Browns Scion’s 6-Story Manhattan Townhouse Lists for $20 Million

    by

    Almost four years ago, James Haslam doled out $12.5 million for a historic townhouse in Manhattan’s Chelsea neighborhood. The filmmaker and co-owner of the David Armstrong Archive subsequently enlisted the services of friend and interior designer Amy Kolker of Jane Street Projects, and together they embarked upon an extensive renovation of the formerly white-walled residence that was recently featured in Architectural Digest.

    Halsam, whose parents, Jimmy and Dee Haslam of Haslam Sports Group, co-own the NFL’s Cleveland Browns and the NBA’s Milwaukee Bucks, has now decided to put the strikingly transformed digs on the market for a speck under $20 million. Matthew Slosar and Justin Grabell of Douglas Elliman hold the listing.

    When coming up with a design plan, Kolker and Haslam gleaned their inspiration from a set of very specific people and places—the modern steel-and-glass Maison de Verre residence in Paris dating to the 1930s; Austro-Hungarian architect Adolf Loos, known for his minimalist yet luxe spaces; filmmaker David Lynch and his penchant for stark surrealism; and Italian design master Lorenzo Mongiardino‘s poetic maximalism. The result? A conglomeration of plush, moody interiors that evoke an old-world ambience, set sometime between the 1930s and 1970s.

    Standing out in the five-bedroom, eight-bath spread, which clocks in at 22 feet wide and 7,500 square feet across six levels, is a double-height living room boasting terracotta pavers sealed in a glossy black epoxy, a wet bar, and floor-to-ceiling industrial windows trimmed in a deep red shade. Soft, sheer ivory curtains open to reveal a bamboo garden inspired by Halston’s house on the Upper East Side.

    The eat-in kitchen is lined with fluted emerald tiles.

    Other highlights include an office and a dining room/library, as well as an emerald-tiled kitchen outfitted with veined-marble countertops, custom brass sinks, and a high-end Wolf range. A dark navy lounge/media room next to the kitchen sports a wood-burning fireplace with a custom Italian marble surround and glass doors spilling out to an awning-topped balcony.

    Holding court by itself on the fifth floor is a posh primary suite flaunting a fireside sitting area, a large dressing room, and a luxe bath equipped with heated black limestone floors and a sky-lit walk-in shower. Two landscaped rooftop terraces have a sunroom lounge in the middle, while the basement holds a catering kitchen and a ton of storage space. Rounding it all out are surround sound, Lutron lighting, and water-filtration systems, plus an elevator that travels to each floor.

      Art Dealer Barbara Gladstone’s Elegant Manhattan Row House Lists for $12 Million

      by

      Less than a year after Barbara Gladstone passed away at age 89, the influential art dealer’s longtime New York City home has popped up for sale, asking a brushstroke under $12 million. As first reported by The New York Times, she acquired the historic brick Greek-Revival row house in Manhattan’s Chelsea neighborhood in 2011 for $6.3 million and then spent the next couple of years revamping the place. Scott Hustis and Mark Jovanovic of Paradigm Advisory at Compass share the listing.

      A visionary gallerist whose roster of contemporary artists through the years included Robert Rauschenberg, Keith Haring, Elizabeth Murray, and Jenny Holzer, the native New Yorker started her business in 1980 in a space on 57th Street that was “the size of a shoebox” and had a monthly rent of $700. Today, her eponymous dealership continues to operate out of three locations in New York, as well as branches in Los Angeles, Brussels, and Seoul.

      The open-plan parlor level includes two sitting rooms on either end of a formal dining area.

      Originally built in 1841 and extensively renovated during her tenure in collaboration with her friend and architect, Annabelle Selldorf, the four-level structure clocks in at 21 feet wide. Five bedrooms and an equal number of baths are sprawled across nearly 4,400 square feet of modern and refined living space boasting white oak floors and Venetian plaster walls throughout, with all floors accessible via an elevator and a sculptural sky-lit staircase sporting blackened metal railings.

      Touted in marketing materials as the “perfect city home,” the garden level is highlighted by a mudroom with a secondary outside entrance, an en suite bedroom, and a powder room. At the back, the sizable eat-in kitchen features Carrara marble countertops, a professional-grade Viking range, double Miele ovens, and separate Sub-Zero refrigerator and freezer units. There’s also a butler’s pantry and a laundry room, while French doors spill out to a Piet Oudolf-designed garden.

      A particularly eye-catching central curving staircase travels to all levels of the four-story residence.

      Holding court on the second floor is the main entry vestibule, which opens into an open-plan great room that stretches the full depth of the house. At the front, overlooking the street, is a sitting area. A formal dining area beyond connects to another sitting room brandishing a wood-burning fireplace and a balcony with access to the garden below. 

      Occupying the entire third level is a primary suite boasting a second wood-burning fireplace, a balcony, a dressing room, and a stone-clad bath equipped with radiant-heated floors, a soaking tub, and a steam shower, plus an office and a wet bar. The top floor has another en suite bedroom and a gym, while the basement is currently used for storage.

      Per the Times, the house was a showcase for Gladstone’s extensive personal collection of works by artists from Andy Warhol to Rudolf Stingel. A dozen pieces from her portfolio recently auctioned by Sotheby’s brought in a total of $18.5 million, with more art and furnishings expected to be sold privately or at a later auction. At the time of her death, she also owned a home on the east end of Long Island that is also on the market.Click here for more photos of the Chelsea residence.

      Supermodel Linda Evangelista’s Posh Manhattan Penthouse Lists for $8.2 Million

      by

      Linda Evangelista is officially strutting away from her New York City penthouse. The iconic Canadian supermodel—famously known for her ultra-short hairstyle nicknamed “The Linda” and the phrase, “We don’t wake up for less than $10,000 a day”—has hoisted her elegant pied-à-terre in Manhattan’s West Chelsea neighborhood up for sale at a speck under $8.2 million. Steve Gold of The Corcoran Group holds the listing.

      She previously put the property on the market in May 2024 for $9.5 million. That’s around $1.3 million more than its current asking price, which comes out to $2,051 per square foot—a “value buy at this point,” Gold told the New York Post, adding that he’s sold nearby condos for $5,000 a square foot.

      The sky-lit great room’s living and dining areas connect to a seated bar and an office nook.

      Perched atop the 1880s Spears Building, a six-story converted furniture showroom nestled between the High Line and Hudson River, the posh digs offer four bedrooms and two baths spread across roughly 4,000 square feet of largely original yet modernized interiors outfitted with exposed brick, polished concrete floors, and high ceilings dotted with skylights. There’s also an in-unit washer and dryer, plus a 2,500-square-foot rooftop terrace that’s ideal for alfresco lounging and entertaining.

      Other highlights include an elevator that opens into a lengthy entrance gallery lined with artwork. From there, the spacious great room boasts a wood-burning fireplace and large windows overlooking three exposures. A dining area is flanked by a seated bar and a small office, while the galley kitchen is equipped with butcher block countertops, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, and a windowed breakfast nook.

      The Manhattan residence is crowned by a private rooftop oasis spanning 2,500 square feet.

      Secluded off by itself is a corner primary suite, which hosts a model-ready dressing room featuring not one but six floor-to-ceiling custom closets, as well as a spa-inspired bath with a soaking tub and a glassy shower. Three additional bedrooms can be used for guests, offices, or creative spaces.

      The new owner will also be privy to plenty of amenities via a $5,669 monthly common charge, including a 24-hour doorman, a concierge, storage units, and a common rooftop deck. The pet-friendly building also contains several art galleries.

      Known for her work as one of the original supermodels of the ’80s and ’90s alongside the likes of Christy Turlington, Naomi Campbell, Claudia Schiffer, and Cindy Crawford, Ontario-born Evangelista, 59, appeared in multimillion-dollar campaigns for Revlon and Versace. She was also named one of People magazine’s “50 Most Beautiful People” during her heyday.

      Benny Blanco Just Sold His Manhattan Bachelor Pad for $3.6 Million

      by

      Benny Blanco has been quite busy as of late. The influential songwriter and producer got engaged to Selena Gomez and has been touring with his singer/actor/beauty entrepreneur fiancée in support of their newly released joint album, I Said I Love You First. On the real estate front, he also partnered with Gomez on the $35 million off-market purchase of a historic Wallace Neff-designed home in a prime pocket of Beverly Hills that was once owned by Hollywood director Todd Phillips.

      But now Blanco can take at least one thing off his fully loaded plate! After nearly a year on the market, he’s finally managed to offload his longtime New York City bachelor pad in Manhattan’s Chelsea neighborhood, just minutes away from the highly popular, elevated High Line park.

      Originally offered for a speck under $4 million in May 2024 and later reduced to $3.75 million, the loft-style digs ultimately transferred to an unidentified buyer for $3.6 million, slightly less than he originally wanted but still $155,000 more than the $3.4 million he paid back in late 2011. The listing, which was first reported by Realtor.com, was shared by John Gomes, Jacqueline Wilde, and Fredrik Eklund of Douglas Elliman.

      One of the guest bedrooms with a Murphy bed has been transformed into an office.

      Found on the sixth floor of Seventh Avenue’s 19-story Chelsea Mercantile building, which was built in the early 1900s and served as a mail-order house for The National Cloak and Suit Company, the three-bedroom, three-bath unit features 2,200 square feet of renovated living space filled with colorful artwork and bold accessories.

      A lengthy entry gallery leads to a combined living and dining area, which rests beneath an 11-foot ceiling and provides picturesque southeastern views via large windows wrapping its corner locale. An adjacent all-white kitchen sports a veined marble backsplash and countertops, plus an eat-in peninsula and top-tier Wolf and Sub-Zero stainless appliances.

      The dramatic black primary bath is spotlighted by decorative bowl sinks and a walnut soaking tub.

      Tall white oak double doors open into the secluded primary suite, which is outfitted with a Poliform walk-in closet that flows to a black-tiled bath equipped with a dual-sink vanity, a walnut-clad soaking tub, and a shower. Two additional bedrooms include one that has its own bath and a workspace and another with a Murphy bed and built-in bookshelves that doubles as an office.

      The unit comes with a $1,819 monthly maintenance fee, which allows access to services and amenities like a 24-hour doorman and concierge, gym, landscaped rooftop deck, children’s playroom, conference area, garage parking, and a private storage unit.

      In addition to their new Beverly Hills home, Gomez still lays claim to a place in Encino that was previously owned by Tom Petty, while Blanco, who lost a beachfront home in Malibu earlier this year during the Palisades Fire, owns a Hollywood Hills estate that he bought in 2020 from Tinder founder Sean Rad for $9.9 million.
