      Russell Westbrook’s Brentwood Estate Just Hit the Market for $30 Million—Here’s a Look Inside

      by

      Russell Westbrook is on the move, and his Brentwood home is for the taking.  

      The point guard for the Los Angeles Lakers just put his 13,425-square-foot estate on the market causing many fans to question his fate with the team. His six-bedroom, eight-bathroom mansion is set on roughly half an acre and was built in 2018, the same year in which he acquired it. Although, that didn’t stop the nine-time All-Star from adding a number of custom touches. To be honest, we wouldn’t expect anything less considering Westbrook is known for curating his own eye-catching fits. Along with designer finishes, it features hardwood flooring, custom moldings, French doors and high ceilings throughout.  

      The formal entry opens up to the spacious living and dining rooms which feel bright and airy thanks to expansive windows. Nearby is a large chef’s kitchen that showcases imported marble slabs and overlooks the rear grounds. Elsewhere there are two family rooms and conveniently, each comes with its own wet bar. On that note, the house hosts additional amenities including a walk-in temperature-controlled wine room, a movie theater, a gym and a guest room—all of which can be found on the lower level.

      The top floor is where the primary suite is located, decked out with a vaulted wood-paneled ceiling, a private patio and two separate walk-in closets. Definitely enough space to accommodate Westbrook’s extensive wardrobe and then some. There are also dual marble-clad bathrooms, connected by an oversized glass shower. Down below, the landscaped grounds are fit for any athlete whether you want to shoot some hoops on the patio, do a couple of laps in the pool or kick a few soccer balls around.

      While Westbrook’s newly listed residence could suggest that a potential trade is in the works (it’s certainly possible), it could also just be a smart real estate play. If the California estate sells at its asking price—a hefty $29.9 million—the NBA star stands to earn at least $10 million from the transaction. For context, Westbrook bought the home for $19.75 million back in 2018 and has invested in several properties since as a source of off-court income. 

      The highest-paid LA Laker for the 2022-23 season could simply be looking to swap his manse for an even pricier pad. We’ll be on standby until then.

      Bjorn Farrugia at Hilton & Hyland and Donnell Beverly Jr. at Berkshire Hathaway HSCP hold the listing.

      by

      This oceanfront mansion in Florida is quite the catch. Located in the exclusive Old Cutler Bay community, the highly coveted waterfront estate belongs to none other than Yankees legend Jorge Posada and his wife, Laura. The five-time All-Star was said to have purchased the house in 2010 for $6.25 million, just two years before he retired in 2012, as reported by Mansion Global. Angel Nicolas of The Nicolas Group at Compass has now listed the Coral Gables abode for $19.9 million.

It’s decked out with a slew of amenities, too, including an infinity pool that overlooks the canal and a putting green where you can practice your short game whenever the mood strikes.

      Inside the home, the decor is decidedly modern with pops of bright white and glossy finishes. The first floor comprises a formal dining room with a wall-mounted wine rack, an uber contemporary chef’s kitchen with top-of-the-line appliances and two double living spaces. There’s also a seamless integration of indoor and outdoor spaces, including multiple covered terraces, three balconies and a two-story al fresco entertainment area outfitted with a summer kitchen.

      It’s safe to say, the celebrated catcher has created one home run of a home

      by

      For $2.3 million, you’ve got a deal.

      An Upper East Side penthouse that once belonged to Shark Tank investor and real estate mogul Barabara Corcoran has just hit the market for the first time in 25 years. Corcoran sold the pre-war duplex in 1997 to its current owners, former CNN anchor Laurin Sydney and her husband, Mark Burk, reported the New York Post. Dubbed The Tower House and likened to a “cottage in the sky,” it offers one bedroom and one bathroom. The real highlight is a lushly landscaped 1,200-square-foot wraparound terrace. An added bonus, windows on the second floor showcase 360-degree views of New York City.

      Combining modern conveniences with historic charm, the penthouse doesn’t skimp on the period details. Think an original wood-burning fireplace in the living room, parquet oak floors throughout and cast-iron windows. Elsewhere, custom decorative moldings and soaring 10-foot ceilings are additional nods to the home’s architectural roots. Leading up to the loft-style bedroom from the dining nook is a glazed custom steel spiral staircase by Cheron Tompkins, which makes this rarified residence feel all the more special.

      In a contemporary twist, the kitchen caters to present-day tastes with D’Oro stone countertops, glass-front cabinetry and a Gaggenau stovetop. On the second floor awaits an Amerec cedar sauna with a separate windowed bath and its own Jacuzzi soaking tub. The bedroom itself has custom closets, built-ins and a concealed TV cabinet.
      Along with epic bird’s eye views, the potential for indoor-outdoor living here is another advantage. The penthouse’s landing will lead you to your own private garden oasis that conjures up Paris and “is a perfect balance of elegance and sophistication,” notes the listing. The verdant, landscaped roof deck has been outfitted with a full irrigation system and offers four exposures.
      If you want to get your hands on this Upper East Side gem, the tower penthouse is being listed with Steve Gold and Scott Hernandez of The Corcoran Group, the shark’s namesake brokerage firm.

      Billie Holiday’s NYC Townhouse Just Hit the Market for $14 Million

      by

      This New York City brownstone is the epitome of easy living.

      The former Upper West Side townhome of jazz legend Billie Holiday has just come onto the market and if you want to get your hands on the late singer’s historic digs, it’ll cost you close to $14 million. Listed with Douglas Elliman, the Renaissance Revival residence was recently renovated and received a few practical upgrades along the way. Although, it still maintains many of the original finishes from when it was built in the early 1900s. Holiday was said to have lived on the first floor during the last years of her life before she died in 1959. It’s also where she released her penultimate album, Lady in Satin.

      The 20-foot-wide, 6,300-square-foot townhouse is spread across six levels and comprises seven bedrooms, six bathrooms and two powder rooms. Modifications came about in 2017 when architect Amie Sachs and interior designer Fawn Galli were brought on to breathe new life into the space. Today, among its modern conveniences are a screening room with wallpaper designed by Lenny Kravitz, a temperature-controlled wine cellar and a curated backyard garden. Inside, you’ll also notice a ton of old-world detailing has been preserved. Think original mahogany doors, wood paneling and 10- to 12-foot ceilings.

      On the parlor floor is a striking foyer that has a sparkling chandelier and herringbone oak flooring. Off the swanky main entry is the living room which comes with a soaring carved plaster ceiling and a stately fireplace. Nearby is a private office and state-of-the-art kitchen that’s been outfitted with a Sub-Zero refrigerator, Bertazzoni range, two Fisher and Paykel dishwashers, marble countertops and a full wet bar. A formal dining room and powder room are also found on this level.
      Upstairs, the third floor is done up as a 1,100-square-foot primary suite. But honestly, it’s more like a personal sanctuary. Perks include a dressing room, fireplace and an uber-luxurious bathroom room that’s been decked out with heated floors, a soaking tub and marble detailing. You’ll also have access to your own private library. Elsewhere in the house is a skylight that exposes the arched brick abode to an ample amount of sun.

      “Legacy properties always have a certain allure and cachet, especially in New York City,” listing agent Kelly Killoren Bensimon tells Mansion Global in an email. “New Yorkers love and adore their icons. Knowing that one of the most beloved storytellers of our time lived in a residence is a very strong selling point.”

      Kim Kardashian Puts Her Minimalist Calabasas Condo on the Market for $3.5 Million

      by

      You can now keep up with Kardashians IRL.

      We all know the Kardashian-Jenner clan loves to buy real estate in wealthy California enclaves and now you have the chance to scoop up Kim’s Calabasas pied-à-terre for a cool $3.5 million. The beauty and shapewear mogul originally purchased the property in 2017 for $1.6 million while she was married to rapper and now estranged husband, Kanye West, reported Dirt. Two years later, the monochromatic, monastery-style flat appeared to be back on the market but was never sold. Now listed with Compass, let’s hope things go better the second time around.

      Kim Kardashian just listed her Calabasas condo for $3.5 million 

      MLS/Compass

      When it comes to interior design, the former couple is well known for their intensely minimal taste. This 2,260-square-foot condominium is no exception. A celebration of all things beige, Belgian architect Vincent Van Duysen was brought on for the modern-looking interiors and also helped conceptualize the duo’s notorious Hidden Hills mansion. The condo—while similar in its aesthetic but much smaller in its scale—is shown with sparse furnishings and an abundance of pale, neutral-colored organic materials.

      The minimalist home was designed by Belgian architect Vincent Van Duysen 

      MLS/Compass

      Located within Calabasas’s Avanti complex, the unit itself comprises three bedrooms and four bathrooms. Throughout the home are an array of pared-back design details that speak to Van Duysen’s simplistic yet stylized approach. Think wide-plank European oak flooring, gray plaster walls and dark designer light fixtures. It also comes with a chef’s kitchen that’s been decked out with top-of-the-line appliances such as a Gaggenau oven, Sub-Zero refrigerator and Bosh dishwasher. Elsewhere, the master suite has a freestanding JEE-o soho bathtub, Toto toilet, MGS faucets and a custom designer vanity. Honestly, we wouldn’t expect anything less.
      If the brutalist abode looks familiar, that’s because it’s made several appearances on the original Keeping Up with the Kardashians series over the years. In addition, the space also served as an office for KKW Beauty and Skims. So all you WFH entrepreneurs will be in good company.
