    One of Ballet’s Greatest Dancers Is Selling His N.Y.C. Townhouse for $2.8 Million

    by

    Tucked away on a quiet street in Hamilton Heights, this early 1900s townhouse has long been home to a legendary pairing that effortlessly blends athleticism with artistry. Edward Villella, the trailblazing American ballet dancer who reshaped the role of men in ballet, shares the space with his wife, Linda Carbonetto Villella, a former Canadian figure skating champion. Now listed for $2.75 million with the Blumstein Team at Corcoran, this historic home is as compelling as the lives it sheltered. 

    Villella’s impressive dance career includes roles as a principal dancer with the New York City Ballet, a muse to George Balanchine, and the star of iconic works like Prodigal Son and Rubies. He performed at JFK’s inauguration, earned the National Medal of Arts and Kennedy Center Honors, and later founded the Miami City Ballet, turning it into a powerhouse company. Meanwhile, Carbonetto made her mark on ice, winning the Canadian national figure skating championship in 1969 and competing in the 1968 Winter Olympics before transitioning to professional skating and later nurturing ballet talent at the Miami City Ballet School.

    The townhouse, originally designed as a two-family home but now a singular residence, spans roughly 3,800 square feet across five floors. Walking inside, you’re met with period details that anchor the home in its early 20th-century roots: antique doors, wrought iron railings, hardwood floors, and lofty ceilings create a warm, timeless atmosphere. It’s got three bedrooms and three full baths, with two wood-burning fireplaces for cozy evenings in.

    The primary suite is a standout: a bay window bathes the room in natural light, while a dressing area and walk-in closet provide ample space. The bathroom leans into luxury with a spa-like vibe, complete with a steam shower and a jacuzzi tub wrapped in marble and copper finishes—a perfect place to unwind after a long day, whether rehearsing a pas de deux or trying on clothes at Bergdorf’s.

    The kitchen is bright and inviting, with a balcony that opens to the backyard and plenty of space for casual meals or entertaining. A finished basement adds even more versatility, featuring a wet bar, wine cellar, and direct access to the deep private garden—a rare gem in the city. Modern conveniences like central air conditioning, gas heating, and laundry hookups on multiple floors keep day-to-day life comfortable and effortless.

      ‘Wings’ Star Tim Daly’s Upper West Side Pied-à-Terre Just Listed for $1.6 Million

      by

      While he was shooting the first season of the CBS drama Madam Secretary in New York in 2014, Tim Daly leased a brand-new apartment on Manhattan‘s Upper West Side. Though it was perfectly nice and even came with an onsite gym, the place wasn’t quite his style and reminded him of a hotel suite.

      After finding out he would be reprising his role as a professor and National Security Agency operative, as well as the title character’s husband, the veteran actor decided to settle down into more permanent digs, picking up a homey co-op in a prewar building near his rental for $1.55 million. Not only did it have the natural light and city skyline views he was seeking, but it was also close to where his daughter and girlfriend (aka, Madam Secretary Téa Leoni) lived.

      “I went and saw the apartment directly below this one. And it didn’t get any of the nice light this one gets, and they were asking the same amount of money as this place, so I thought maybe this was a good deal,” Daly told The New York Times in a 2016 article. “I fluctuate between being very practical and very impulsive, and this was a very impulsive decision. Not to get too woo-woo, but there was a good vibe and I just kind of leapt.”

      A green tiled floor lends a punch of color to the small yet stylish kitchen.

      A decade later, the veteran actor best known for his turn as Joe Hackett on the popular 1990s sitcom Wings is ready to hand over the keys to his five-room pied-à-terre and has put it up for sale at a speck under $1.6 million. Fainna Kagan of The Corcoran Group holds the listing.

      Sited on the seventh floor of the 13-story, 94-unit DeSoto, a 1917 Neo-Renaissance building designed by architects Schwartz & Gross, the 1,300-square-foot residence currently offers two bedrooms and one-and-a-half bathrooms but could easily be transformed into a three-bedroom, three-bath home per marketing materials. The open, loft-like interiors marry classic and modern details, including decorative moldings, nearly 10-foot ceilings, and a mix of solid oak and painted parquet floors.

      A generous-sized corner primary bedroom shares a bath with the secondary bedroom.

      A spacious entry foyer with four large closets opens to a living and dining area boasting a wall of north-facing windows, while an adjacent kitchen sports custom off-white cabinetry, Carrera marble countertops, a glossy ceramic backsplash, an eat-in island, and Viking and Fisher & Paykel appliances, plus a butler’s pantry, a washer and dryer nook, and a hallway with a service entrance. A windowed office with a built-in workstation and its own powder room is tucked behind the kitchen.

      Elsewhere is a corner primary bedroom that comes with eastern exposures for morning light and a large walk-in closet. The primary and a secondary bedroom share a bath with natural stone floors and a marble-topped vanity. There’s also access to perks like a 24-hour doorman, playroom, and a roof deck with an herb garden and sitting areas courtesy of a $3,228 monthly maintenance fee, with DeSoto shareholders benefiting from a 17 percent primary residence tax abatement that adds up to a savings of about one month of maintenance a year.

      The 69-year-old New York native hails from an acting family that includes his father James Daly (Medical Center) and sister Tyne Daly (Cagney & Lacey). Perhaps most recognized for starring as the older brother of Brian Hackett (Steven Weber) on Wings, where the pair operated a one-plane airline at a small Nantucket airport, he also appeared in The Sopranos, the Tom Hanks-produced mini-series From the Earth to the Moon, and Private Practice, and voiced the role of Clark Kent/Superman in Superman: The Animated Series.Click here for more photos of the Manhattan residence.

      Tom Clancy’s Widow Just Dropped $21.5 Million on a 3-Story Penthouse in Lower Manhattan

      by

      The case is solved! Turns out the mystery buyer who recently doled out $21.5 million for a snazzy triplex penthouse at 108 Leonard in Manhattan’s Tribeca neighborhood is Alexandra Clancy, the widow of the late bestselling author Tom Clancy, who penned numerous spy thrillers ranging from The Hunt for Red October to Patriot Games. Elena Sarkissian of Douglas Elliman held the listing, with Dora Abril of Douglas Elliman repping the buyer.

      Records show the seller was the building’s developer, Elad Group, which restored and transformed the former New York Life Insurance Company building known as the Clock Tower into luxury condos in 2018 in collaboration with the hospitality design firm Jeffrey Beers International. First listed in spring 2022 at around $24.5 million, the property was scooped up by Clancy in early June at a substantial discount.

      A ballroom-sized great room notched into the building’s northeast corner holds living and dining areas.

      Evan Joseph/Evan Joseph Studios

      Originally designed by the architect Griffith Thomas and completed in 1870, the building was expanded two decades later by the legendary firm McKim, Mead & White. The ornately embellished block-long structure, which has housed notable past and present residents the likes of music industry titan Clive Davis and A-list couple Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places and designated as a New York City landmark in the 1980s.

      Spread across the top three floors of the 16-story Italian Renaissance Revival structure, Clancy’s light-filled aerie, dubbed the Crown Penthouse, comes with five bedrooms and seven baths. Roughly 6,200 square feet of modern living space accessible via an internal staircase and elevator boasts chevron-patterned oak floors, 15-foot ceilings, and large arched windows throughout. A trio of outdoor terraces spanning a combined 2,200 square feet also provides sweeping views of the Empire State and Municipal buildings, City Hall, the East River, and the Brooklyn, Manhattan, and George Washington bridges.

      The spacious glass-lined media and recreation room is equipped with a wet bar and its own terrace.

      Evan Joseph/Evan Joseph Studios

      In addition to a 1,000-square-foot great room anchored by a striking marble fireplace, other highlights include an eat-in kitchen sporting custom Scavolini cabinetry, a marble waterfall-edge island, top-notch Miele appliances, and a 100-bottle wine fridge. There’s also a wet bar-equipped media/recreation room, plus a fireside primary suite that occupies the entire top floor and has a mini-kitchenette, separate sitting room, and dual walk-in closets and baths.

      As for the monthly maintenance fee, Clancy will pay a hefty $10,427 per month for the privilege of living in the building, where its many premium benefits include a valet-serviced drive-in motor reception court and a 20,000-square-foot wellness area featuring a 75-foot lap pool and fitness center. Also available are a wine cellar with a private dining room and cabana lounges sprinkled amid rooftop gardens.

      The primary bedroom opens to a wraparound terrace with views of 108 Leonard’s copper-clad cupola.

      Evan Joseph/Evan Joseph Studios

      The daughter of J. Bruce Llewellyn, a Harlem-born entrepreneur who was worth about $170 million upon his death in 2010, Alexandra Clancy worked as a TV news reporter before marrying Tom Clancy in 1999. After Tom Clancy’s death in 2013 at age 66, she was embroiled in lawsuits over the author’s $83 million estate, both with his first wife Wanda and her four children, as well as his second wife Alexandra Marie Llewellyn Clancy.

      Included among Tom Clancy’s assets were shares of the Baltimore Orioles and recurring royalties and rights related to his most famous character, Jack Ryan. There was also a 400-acre Chesapeake Bay estate that Alexandra Clancy received and then sold in 2020 for nearly $5 million, much less than its $6.2 million asking price.

      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.

      William Randolph Hearst’s Mistress Called This N.Y.C. Duplex Home. Now It Can Be Yours for $26 Million.

      by

      As the story goes, publishing tycoon William Randolph Hearst and his longtime paramour Marion Davies initially met in the early 1900s when he saw the striking young blonde performing as part of the chorus line in the Ziegfeld Follies. Though he was more than twice her age and married at the time, they began a 34-year relationship that lasted until his death in 1951.

      Wielding his influence and substantial wealth, Hearst not only helped Davies become a popular actress known for her comedic wit, but he also scooped up a luxe New York City apartment hotel where he commissioned a swanky 11-room residence for her that he called “nothing less than a palace fit for a movie queen.” Now that Park Avenue pad has just popped up on the market for the first time in the 21st century at $26 million, with Michael Kotler of Douglas Elliman holding the listing.

      A handsome bookshelf-lined library/office with a view sits off the 45-foot-long great room.

      Sited within the 42-story Ritz Tower residential co-op built in the mid-1920s by newspaper editor/real estate investor Arthur Brisbane and designed by noted architect Emery Roth, the 19th and 20th floor unit has four bedrooms and a matching number of baths in two levels of opulent living space outfitted with pegged oak floors, stained-glass windows, doors from an ancient monastery, and a wraparound terrace offering picturesque views of the Manhattan skyline and Central Park.

      A private elevator opens into a white marble entry foyer, which leads to a voluminous 45-foot-long great room boasting a hand-painted ceiling culled from a Venetian palace, as well as a Juliet balcony, a seating alcove warmed by a wood-burning fireplace, and access to the expansive terrace. A walnut-clad office/library on one side of the great room leads via a hallway to a powder room, a den/media room, and an en suite bedroom. A door on the other side connects to a formal dining room and a bright, white kitchen equipped with newer appliances and a breakfast nook, plus an adjoining laundry room.

      The formal dining room features stained-glass windows and a tented ceiling treatment.

      Upstairs, a gallery hallway overlooking the great room below leads to a private wing hosting a primary bedroom sporting a wall of closets, as well as a spacious tiled bath with a built-in soaking tub and a separate shower. Two additional bedrooms in an opposite wing include one with its own bath and another with a large walk-in closet, and there’s also a second full bath and a pear wood-paneled den/study holding court in between.

      A whopping $20,381 monthly maintenance fee allows the new owner to take advantage of numerous hotel-like amenities that encompass a 24-hour doorman and concierge, housekeeping and room service, a conference room, and exercise facilities. An added bonus: Some of the furnishings are also included in the sale, including a century-old Agra carpet, Regency-era tables, and a 10-foot Vanderbilt clock.

      Folk Singer Peter Yarrow’s N.Y.C. Duplex Just Listed for $4.4 Million

      by

      It might not be by the sea, in a land called Honah Lee, but a New York City apartment long owned by the late folk musician Peter Yarrow has just popped up for sale in Manhattan. The co-writer and singer of the heartwarming tune Puff, the Magic Dragon‘s home on the Upper West Side hasn’t been on the market for over 40 years. The asking price is a dash over $4.4 million, with the listing held by Michael Graves of Douglas Elliman Real Estate.

      The guitarist and vocalist—one-third of the popular 1960s group Peter, Paul and Mary with Mary Travers and Noel Paul Stookey—acquired the loft-style duplex in the early 1980s. Sited on two floors within a 14-story pre-war co-op known as the Sixty-Seventh Street Studio Building, the unit offers three bedrooms and three baths spread across carefully restored living space adorned with textured plaster walls and ceilings, plus cast-iron sinks and vintage light fixtures.

      The formal dining room flows to a kitchen sporting the original vaulted firebrick ceiling.

      Other highlights include an elevator landing that opens into a lower-level entry gallery. From there, a double-height great room that was used by Yarrow for music rehearsals and special events has a wood-burning fireplace with a carved stone mantel and a large window overlooking city views. French doors open to reveal a formal dining room, which connects to a kitchen boasting the original barrel-vaulted firebrick ceiling, terracotta tile floors, custom oak cabinetry, an eat-in island, and stainless appliances.

      Elsewhere is a former “penthouse” sleeping room that’s been converted into a small office. An upstairs primary bedroom with north and south exposures hosts a glass-paneled area that looks down onto the great room, as well as a separate office/den and bath. Two additional guest bedrooms with access to full baths are divided between the upper and lower floors, and a $7,589 monthly maintenance fee also gives the new owner access to a 24-hour doorman, a live-in superintendent, a shared rooftop terrace, and basement storage space.

      A New York native, Yarrow passed away earlier this year at age 86 from bladder cancer, which he had battled for the past few years. Per The New York Times, he split singing duties equally on many of Peter, Paul and Mary’s recordings. But the tenor also had some prominent lead vocals, fronting well-known group recordings such as Puff, the Magic Dragon, Day Is Done, and The Great Mandala, all of which he either wrote or co-wrote. Puff became a No. 2 Billboard hit, while Day Is Done broke into the Top 20.

      “I believe folk music has had a positive effect on the decency, humanity and empathy of society,” he told Reuters in 2008. “Peter, Paul, and Mary had a huge audience, some of whom did not agree with our politics. But they were touched by the human essence of our songs.”

      You Can Rent Carmelo Anthony’s Former Fifth Avenue Pad for $43,000 a Month

      by

      Carmelo Anthony’s former Manhattan home is available for rent, offering the opportunity to live like an NBA All-Star— that is if you’re ready, willing, and able to pony up $43,000 a month. The five-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bathroom residence on Fifth Avenue spans a bit more than 4,000 square feet, perched on a high floor with sweeping views of Central Park. The apartment was Carmelo’s home base during his time with the New York Knicks, renting it in 2015 while navigating the peaks and valleys of his illustrious career. 

      Housed in a pre-war building originally constructed in 1925 and restored in 2012, the apartment blends classic design with modern finishes. Think glossy oak flooring, coffered ceilings, and custom millwork. A private elevator opens directly into a long entrance gallery and foyer, leading to an expansive combination living and dining room centered around a gas fireplace with a polished stone surround.

      The chef’s kitchen is equipped with Italian custom cabinetry, Caesarstone countertops, and premium Miele and Bertazzoni appliances. Meanwhile, the primary suite features unobstructed views of the park, a private sitting room, two walk-in closets, and a spa-like bathroom with radiant heated floors and Dolomiti marble, notes the listing, which is being held by Ruthie and Ethan Assouline of The Assouline Team at Douglas Elliman. 

      The 55-unit building offers both pre-war charm and modern amenities. Think a 24-hour concierge, a 2,600-square-foot fitness center, and a residents’ lounge. For an additional fee, residents can get access to the private club at 1214 Fifth Avenue, complete with an indoor pool and media room. Notably, it also drew high-profile buyers—Bill and Melinda Gates reportedly purchased a $5 million condo here in 2018 for their daughter Jennifer Gates, paying all cash. The unit was listed for $4.75 million in 2022 but was taken off the market before it was sold.

      Over the years, Anthony’s real estate portfolio has included several standout properties. His previous residence, a full-floor condo in Chelsea, was listed for $12.85 million in 2020 and reappeared on the market in 2022 after undergoing a total redesign. Located next to the High Line, the 4,556-square-foot unit featured five bedrooms, four bathrooms, Calacatta Gold marble countertops, and custom walnut cabinetry. He’s previously owned a big spread in Littleton, Colorado; a 13,000-square-foot mansion in New York’s Westchester County; and a 1929 Spanish-style home in the Beverly Grove area of Beverly Hills that he shared with his ex-wife La La Anthony, according to records.

      Courtney Love’s Former Manhattan Loft Is Up for Grabs at $9.5 Million

      by

      When an 1800s corset factory in New York’s Soho neighborhood was converted into a boutique condo in the early aughts, the seven-story building attracted a slew of famous folks.

      Among those who scrambled to pick up one of 30 Crosby Street’s 13 units was Lenny Kravitz, who doled out $8 million for a duplex penthouse that he once rented to Nicole Kidman before selling to Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz for $12.4 million. Courtney Love also shelled out $2.6 million in 2001 for a fourth-floor loft, which the lead singer and guitarist of Hole and widow of Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain offloaded in 2006 for $5 million after riling up neighbors with her famously precarious behavior. Now, almost 20 years later, that residence has popped back up for sale, this time with a $9.5 million asking price.

      A bookshelf-lined library sits in the center of the loft.

      Last sold in 2012 for a speck over $7 million to Stefan Sonnenfeld and Missy Papageorge, co-founders of the post-production house Company 3 that’s worked on everything from The White Lotus to Beyonce music videos, the seven-room flat has three bedrooms and four baths in roughly 4,100 square feet. The rustic-chic interiors are adorned throughout with hardwood floors, exposed-brick walls, high beamed ceilings supported by the original wood columns, and large industrial-style windows for plenty of natural light.

      A private elevator opens into a small foyer, which flows to an open-concept great room holding a kitchen outfitted with an eat-in island that seats four and top-tier appliances, including two Sub-Zero refrigerators, a double oven, a vented cooktop, and a wine cooler. An adjacent living and dining area comes with a black floating-hearth fireplace, as well as a hanging swing, mirror ball, and punching bag.

      One of the bedrooms has been transformed into a den with a pair of thrones.

      Sequestered off by themselves are the sleeping quarters, which include two bedrooms with western exposures and a shared bath, as well as a primary suite boasting a dressing room that leads to a spa-like bath equipped with dual vanities, a soaking tub, and a separate shower. There’s also a library sporting built-in bookshelves, plus an office nook and a lounge area that doubles as a gallery.

      Rounding out the listing, which is held by Holly Sose, Tim Cass, Katie Johnson, and Sabine Modeste of The Corcoran Group, is a $6,322 per month common charge that entitles the owner to a 24-hour doorman, concierge services, a lobby with an aromatherapy system, climate-controlled wine storage, and a fireside tasting/dining room.

      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.
