    ‘Trading Spaces’ Designer Genevieve Gorder Just Listed Her Chic Manhattan Duplex for $4.4 Million

    by

    Interior designer and HGTV personality Genevieve Gorder has listed her longtime Manhattan home—a sun-drenched Chelsea duplex within the historic Fitzroy Townhouse complex—for $4.35 million. The nearly 2,500-square-foot co-op spans the top two floors of the circa 1850s building and overlooks Clement Clarke Moore Park, a private greenspace shared by the block’s residents.

    Gorder purchased one side of the top-floor walk-up duplex 21 years ago, drawn to the light and the tree-lined street she had long admired. “A brownstone is notoriously dark in the middle areas, so I will climb any stair for natural light any day,” she said. When the adjacent unit became available in 2011, she bought and combined the two, a process chronicled on her 2014 HGTV series Genevieve’s Renovation.

    The resulting four-bedroom, three-bathroom residence feels both layered and deeply personal. Hand-scraped French white oak floors, a marble kitchen island, and custom built-ins are paired with globally sourced architectural details. The layout is intentionally adaptable. “Every room can almost be everything,” Gorder tells Robb Report, describing how the home evolved with her family’s needs over the years.

    The dining room has custom built ins and a wood-burning fireplace.

    A tranquil formal living room with an original marble fireplace is also suitable as a first-floor primary suite thanks to its spa-like attached bath and oversized dressing closet. Two additional bedrooms and a vintage-inspired bath with brass fixtures, tile walls, and a classic clawfoot tub complete the lower level.

    A floating staircase leads to two more airy bedrooms that open onto private north- and south-facing terraces with panoramic city views. Water features and plantings with automated irrigation create an alfresco sanctuary for dining or entertaining beneath the skyline. The upper-level primary suite, a serene retreat that feels worlds away from the city below, includes a freestanding soaking tub bedroom. “It’s a home with four rooftop decks, a bird sanctuary pretty much in the back,” Gorder adds. “It’s so quiet—it’s kind of surreal that you’re in New York and you’re waking up to birds every morning.”

    Gorder has decided to sell her home as her daughter prepares to head to college and she begins a new chapter abroad. “We’re getting our dual citizenship with Croatia, and it felt like time to do what I’ve always wanted to do but couldn’t,” she said. “We want to create rentals in the southern Mediterranean. My base will still be in New York, but I’m ready to make this next part of my life amazing.”

    Both bedrooms on the upper level open to landscaped terraces.

    According to listing agents Christopher Stokes Moseley and Smitha Ramchandani of Christie’s International Real Estate, the home is as much a reflection of Gorder’s artistry as it is of Chelsea’s storied architecture. “The textures, the unique design accents, the thoughtful flow of each room—it all feels intentionally layered and lived in,” Moseley says. “It’s not just beautiful—it’s soulful, with the kind of authenticity and craftsmanship that can only come from a designer who has truly lived in and loved the space.”

    Ramchandani agrees, describing the property as “an effortless balance of serenity and sophistication.” She adds, “In a market where luxury is often about excess, this home stands out for its intentionality; every finish, every line has a purpose.”

      Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward’s Manhattan Maisonette Can Be Yours for $1.7 Million

      by

      You might not have been fortunate enough to snag Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward’s elegant Manhattan penthouse that was recently up for grabs at nearly $10 million; it went for $14 million in July after a fierce bidding war. But now’s your chance to pick up their separate apartment on the ground floor of the same Carnegie Hill building at East 93rd Street and Fifth Avenue, across from the Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir.

      The asking price for the two-bedroom, two-bath unit is just under $1.7 million, with the listing held by Noble Black and Jennifer Kaufman Stillman of The Corcoran Group.

      A bookshelf-lined living and dining area has windows overlooking garden views.

      Newman, who died in 2008 at age 83, and Woodward, now in her 90s, moved into the J.E.R. Carpenter-designed 1920s co-op back in the early 1980s. The couple used the 3,000-square-foot, terraced penthouse for extended stays in the city and to entertain prominent friends the likes of Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, Tom Cruise, Cher, and Harry Belafonte. Their more modest maisonette apartment served as an office, a gym, and a guest space. Carefully maintained but not updated much in recent years, the prewar apartment looks almost frozen in time with the Oscar-winning pair’s furniture, art, and mementos still on display.

      The large entry foyer is lined with wood wainscoting and set up as a study with a desk and a cozy armchair. Double doors open to a parquet-floored living and dining area lined with bookshelves and windows offering garden views, while an eat-in kitchen is spotlighted by a patterned tile floor, a glossy green ceramic backsplash, and a wall of framed portraits over a small country-style table. A hallway with a powder room leads to both bedrooms, which share a marble bath with a built-in soaking tub.

      The green-tiled kitchen has a small table topped with a collage of personal portraits.

      The $4,150 monthly maintenance fee includes a 24-hour doorman and a live-in resident manager, along with a fitness center and a bike room. The striking limestone-clad building is also just steps away from Central Park and the Museum Mile.

      During their lengthy 50-year marriage, the show business legends collectively racked up 15 Academy Award nominations. Woodward won a best actress trophy for the 1957 film The Three Faces of Eve, and Newman was named best actor for Martin Scorsese’s 1986 movie The Color of Money. In 1994, he was also honored with the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award for his philanthropic efforts.

      A Comedian and an Heiress Have Put Their Vintage L.A. Mansion on the Market at $22 Million

      by

      Around a decade ago, Lydia Hearst traded the East Coast for the West Coast. The heiress to William Randolph Hearst’s publishing empire and the daughter of Patty Hearst left behind a New York City condo she purchased in 2008 at age 23 to relocate to bigger marital digs in Los Angeles with her soon-to-be husband, actor and comedian Chris Hardwick.

      Now both those properties have simultaneously hit the market. Hearst’s former digs in Manhattan just listed for $2.2 million with Paul Kolbusz and his team at Corcoran, while her and Hardwick’s impressive estate in the Los Feliz neighborhood of Hollywood Hills is up for sale at $21.5 million with Hardwick’s mother, Sharon Hills of Rodeo Realty.

      The terracotta-tiled entry foyer boasts Corinthian-arched columns and a carved wood ceiling.

      Records show Hearst and Hardwick, who have relocated to the Central Coast, acquired their Los Feliz home in 2015 for $11 million and have since undertaken an extensive and meticulous restoration. Originally built and designed almost a century ago for affluent banker Victor Rossetti and his wife Irene at a cost of $47,000 by trailblazing architect Paul R. Williams, the Spanish Colonial Revival villa was designated as a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument in 2008. It’s also covered under the Mills Act, which offers significant property tax savings in exchange for preserving the historic appearance.

      Set amid two parcels of securely gated land spanning over an acre near Griffith Park, the stucco and terracotta-roof structure is known as the Victor Rossetti Residence and features a total of 10 bedrooms and a dozen baths in roughly 9,000 square feet. Two-and-a-half levels of L-shaped living space are laced throughout with coffered and hand-painted ceilings, stained glass windows, whimsical wallpaper, built-in alcoves, and three ornate fireplaces.

      The living room comes with a coffered ceiling and a carved stone fireplace.

      Standing out in the non-staged abode is a striking entry foyer that steps down to a fireside living room, plus a wood-paneled library. A formal dining room and a breakfast nook connect to an updated kitchen sporting floor-to-ceiling tile, top-tier appliances, and an accompanying butler’s pantry and breakfast room, with other highlights including a primary suite with a separate sitting area and a massive walk-in closet, along with a media room, a pub-style lounge, a wine room, and a door disguised as a bookcase that leads to a lower-level room for entertaining.

      Outdoors, the lush grounds host a pool and a summer lounge, a pergola-shaded kitchen and barbecue setup, a fire pit and a two-way fireplace, and a “secret” garden with a koi pond, a citrus grove, and several fountains. Two guest spaces each have a full bath and kitchenette, and a two-car garage is supported by additional parking for up to 25 vehicles. An adjoining property tacked on by the couple includes a 1,500-square-foot home that comes with approved city plans for customization, a renovated pool, and a newly refurbished pool house.

      As for Hearst’s former pad (pictured above) on 57th Street in Manhattan’s Gramercy neighborhood, across from the Hearst Tower, the model and actress paid $1.5 million for it 17 years ago; it last sold in 2016 for around $2.5 million.

      Perched on the 30th floor of the Sheffield building, the two-bedroom, two-bath unit has just over 1,100 square feet and features a combined living and dining area offering city and Hudson River views via nearly 25 feet of windows wrapping its corner locale. The kitchen sports a marble backsplash and countertops paired with Bosch, Miele, and Sub-Zero appliances, a primary bedroom has a bath with a soaking tub and a shower, and another bedroom with a custom built-in Murphy bed can double as an office or den.

      Meredith Vieira’s Manhattan Penthouse With Central Park Views Lists for $12.5 Million

      by

      Meredith Vieira is officially signing off from her New York City penthouse. Per The New York Times, the broadcast journalist and TV personality best known as a co-host of The View has hoisted her elegant pied-à-terre in Manhattan’s Central Park West neighborhood on the market for $12.5 million. Deborah Kern of The Corcoran Group holds the listing.

      Records show she and her husband, Richard Cohen, an Emmy-winning TV producer who passed away last December at age 76, acquired the co-op unit in 2014 for nearly $9 million as a retirement place that would be comfortable for Cohen, who suffered from multiple sclerosis and penned a bestselling memoir about the disease. Vieira, who still maintains a primary residence in Irvington, New York, and a Cape Cod beach house, told the Times, “I needed the apartment to have high ceilings and to have a lot of light; I needed it to be one level; and I needed it to have outdoor space.”

      The dining area is separated from the living room by a two-way fireplace.

      The city digs, located on the 19th floor of the landmarked Art Deco Eldorado building designed by noted architect Emery Roth in the 1930s, offer three bedrooms and four baths across 2,800 square feet. Largely original yet modernized interiors are outfitted with herringbone oak floors, 10-foot ceilings, oversized casement windows, and decorative moldings, plus central air-conditioning and a couple of landscaped bluestone terraces spanning about 1,400 square feet.

      Other highlights include a private elevator landing and foyer that lead to a living room and dining area separated by a two-way limestone fireplace and lined with French doors opening to a southern terrace overlooking the city and Hudson River. Nearby is a closet that’s been converted into a bar, plus a windowed kitchen equipped with custom wood cabinetry, stone cabinetry, and Bosch, Wolf, and Sub-Zero appliances. A walk-in pantry comes with a wine fridge, while a breakfast nook has banquette seating.

      Elsewhere is a bookshelf-lined office with an attached powder room that could easily be used as a bedroom, as well as a secluded primary suite featuring an integrated entertainment center, plenty of closet space, and a tiled bath equipped with dual vanities and a large walk-in shower. Two additional bedrooms include one with its own bath and another with access to a hallway bath, with all three spilling out to a northern terrace offering views of Central Park and the Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir.

      The new owner will also be privy to plenty of amenities courtesy of an $8,332 monthly maintenance fee, including a 24-hour doorman, a concierge, a live-in superintendent, a fitness center, a children’s playroom, bike storage, and shared outdoor space. There is also a $268 monthly assessment through 2027 for window work in the building.

      According to the Times, the 71-year-old Rhode Island native says she might eventually buy another place in Manhattan, where she serves as a guest anchor on Today. A permanent host from 2006 to 2011, her lengthy career has also included stretches on 60 Minutes and The View. She currently helms the TV game show 25 Words or Less.

      Inside the $5 Million Apartment of New York Artists Joel Shapiro and Ellen Phelan

      by

      When you think of great New York artists, few names loom larger than the late Joel Shapiro. The celebrated sculptor, whose angular, gravity-defying figures are icons of modern art, spent his life exploring form, balance, and the spaces in between. Now, just months after his passing at 83, the Manhattan home he shared with his painter wife, Ellen Phelan, has hit the market for $4.75 million. Eileen Angelo and Max Collins of Sotheby’s International Realty hold the listing.

      The duplex, tucked inside a 1907 building on East 67th Street in Lenox Hill, is every bit as striking as you might expect from a couple so steeped in art and architecture. The couple purchased the apartment in the early 2000s and immediately reimagined it from the ground up. Their renovation—done in the ’90s but still timeless—introduced beveled glass casement doors, brass hardware, and a sweeping staircase that feels almost like one of Shapiro’s own pieces brought to life.

      Elsewhere on the main floor is a south-facing library with a fireplace, a dedicated home office, and a corner guest bedroom with a private bath. The entire second floor has been transformed into a grand primary suite that’s complete with a mezzanine that overlooks the living room, a bedroom with a fireplace, a separate sitting/dressing room, two walk-in closets, a large bathroom, and a spacious laundry room.

      Shapiro, born in Queens in 1941, remained fiercely loyal to New York City throughout his career, maintaining a studio in Long Island City even as his work appeared in museums and public spaces around the world. (His largest piece stands outside the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C.) Phelan, an acclaimed painter, often explored themes of domesticity and place in her own work, which is included in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art and the Whitney Museum.

      The primary suite spans the entire second floor.

      MW Studio for Sotheby’s International Realty

      The Italian Renaissance-style building, designed by architect Charles A. Platt while at the firm of Rossiter and Wright, has long been a haven for creative minds. Over the decades, it’s housed everyone from a Rockefeller heir to design legends Massimo and Lella Vignelli, who created New York’s iconic subway map. For Shapiro and Phelan, it offered both proximity to the city’s cultural heart and a private, light-filled refuge above it all.

      Their creative life, however, wasn’t confined to Manhattan. The couple also owned a lakeside estate in Westport, New York. Another work of art in its own right, the Prairie-style property, known as Kenjockety, sits on the shore of Lake Champlain and was their retreat from city life. There, amid 1,400 feet of waterfront and gardens designed by landscape architect Dan Kiley, they restored a 1910 home into a serene, art-filled sanctuary. That property is also currently on the market—first listed this summer for $5.49 million, now asking $4.8 million.

      Ellen Barkin’s Former N.Y.C. Townhouse Just Hit the Market for $23 Million

      by

      Back in 2006, shortly after her divorce from billionaire financier Ronald O. Perelman, Ellen Barkin shelled out $7.5 million for an 1840s Greek Revival townhouse in Manhattan‘s Greenwich Village neighborhood that came with a 20-foot parlor extension designed by the late Louvre Pyramid architect I.M. Pei.

      Now the stylishly reimagined digs have popped up for sale again, this time with an elevated $23 million price tag. Christian Rogers, Matthew Wojnarowicz, and Eileen McGill of Howard Hanna Elegran hold the listing.

      One of the home’s two living rooms is warmed by a decorative fluted fireplace.

      Famously occupied by the Emmy- and Tony-winning actress for almost two decades until 2023, the property was last sold to husband-and-wife development and design team Sven and Sara Simon of dasCasa in early 2023 for $11 million. Since extensively remodeled by the couple, the red brick structure measures 21 feet wide and offers four bedrooms and five baths in 4,500 square feet of colorfully hued and art-filled living space.

      The first floor is highlighted by a hallway that flows past a bedroom and bath on its way to a wood-beamed kitchen outfitted with dark green cabinetry, an eat-in island, top-tier Bertazzoni and Sub-Zero appliances, a butler’s pantry, and a breakfast nook. A rear media room painted a rosy shade spills out to a patio with an outdoor kitchen and a garden beyond.

      Outdoor spaces include three terraces, a roof deck, and a patio that extends to a lush garden.

      Holding court on the second floor are two fireside living rooms, plus a wood-paneled dining room with a wet bar and French doors leading out to a black-and-white-tiled terrace with stairs to the garden below. Occupying the entire third level is a sprawling primary retreat sporting a fireplace, a private balcony, an expansive dressing room, and a marble-clad bath spotlighted by a freestanding soaking tub. Above that are two more bedrooms with their own walk-in closets and baths, plus another bedroom that currently serves as an office.

      Rounding it all off is a sky-lit staircase that ascends to a rooftop deck equipped with a bar. There’s also a partially finished basement, which includes a laundry room, a game/wellness room, and storage space. Marketing materials rightly describe the pad as a “world-class experience and asset, where design-forward living meets effortless comfort.”

      The Sumptuous Duplex of a New York Style Icon Lists for $5.5 Million

      by

      Carolyne Roehm is officially letting go of her bespoke New York City apartment. The lifestyle author, socialite, and former fashion designer—she worked with Oscar de la Renta before launching her own successful womenswear line, which lasted 10 years—has hoisted her majestic Manhattan duplex on the market for a stitch under $5.5 million. Charles Holmes and Evita LaSasso of Coldwell Banker Warburg share the listing.

      Online reports show she acquired the seven-room spread from magazine publisher Marion Gilliam for $4.7 million back in 2004, some 10 years after she split from her second husband, Henry R. Kravis, a financier known for his $25 billion buyout of Nabisco in the late 1980s.

      Roehm initially refused to even consider buying a place at the 21-story, pre-war Neoclassical 322 East 57th Street building, which was originally designed as a studio hotel by architect Harry M. Clawson in 1929 and is sometimes referred to as the Mr. Chow building, after the venerable Chinese restaurant that anchors the ground floor. She had previously looked at Frank and Kathie Lee Gifford’s apartment there and decided it had relatively modest rooms, aside from the grand salons, per The New York Times.

      An acquaintance then insisted she just had to see this particular apartment because it resembled Weatherstone, her 18th-century stone house in the Connecticut town of Sharon. “When I first walked into this apartment, it was as if I had a twin brother and he’d lived here,” she said. “There were my pilasters! There was the coffered ceiling just like I have at Weatherstone.”

      An upstairs bedroom has been converted into a dressing area with a wall of deep closets.

      Situated on the 12th and 13th floors of the building, the palatial pad has three bedrooms and three baths across roughly 3,100 square feet outfitted with an ample allowance of gilded furnishings and decor. A semi-private elevator landing opens into a lower-level entrance gallery bathed in limestone, with a hallway flowing to a square-shaped, 27-foot-by-27-foot great room boasting an 18-foot coffered ceiling, brown walls dotted with striped white pilasters, a marble fireplace, built-in bookshelves, and two 12-foot casement windows offering city skyline views.

      An oval dining room with a curved pocketing door has rich fabric panels and recessed dome lighting, and a windowed kitchen sports stainless appliances and a concealed butler’s pantry. Both a grand staircase and a private elevator head upstairs, where a handsome oak-paneled study is warmed by a fireplace. A posh southern-exposure primary hosts a large bath equipped with a soaking tub and a steam shower, while two additional en suite guest bedrooms include one that’s been converted into a dressing area.

      Rounding it all off: a hefty $10,399 monthly maintenance fee, which avails the new owner with a round-the-clock doorman, storage space, and, of course, primo access to Mr. Chow.
