    Rupert Murdoch Takes a $20 Million Loss on His New York City Penthouse

    by

    After a dizzying two years on and off the market and numerous price chops, Rupert Murdoch has finally sold his penthouse in New York’s Flatiron District to an as-yet-unidentified buyer for a speck under $24 million. The Fox News and News Corp owner bought the triplex at the One Madison tower in 2014 for a whopping $43 million, which means he took a stunning $20 million loss on the property, not counting carrying costs, improvement expenses and real estate fees. The nonagenarian billionaire originally aimed for a much higher (and profitable) sum when he first listed the apartment in 2022 for $62 million. Alas, failing to find an interested party at that sky-high price, the media magnate’s mansion in the sky received several price chops. It was last discounted in June to its final ask of $28.5 million.

    The reason for the reductions was to keep the residence in line with comparable values in the area, Kyle Blackmon, the head of luxury sales at Compass, who represented the property, told Crain’s New York Business over the summer. “My client is a realist, and he is very astute about how markets function,” Blackmon explained to the newspaper.

    Rupert Murdoch’s triplex penthouse at One Madison in New York City just sold for $23.8 million.

    The condo occupies the 58th, 59th, and 60th floors of the bronze and glass skyscraper and has been renovated during Murdoch’s decade-long residence. Altogether, the three-level spread comprises six bedrooms and six and a half bathrooms across its 7,143 square feet and is decked out with double-height, floor-to-ceiling windows that offer up panoramic views of the Empire State Building, along with the gold dome that caps the New York Edition hotel. And, for those with no fear of heights, a slender terrace wraps around the great room.

    The great room has floor-to-ceiling windows with 360-degree city views.

    The lower floor holds an eat-in chef’s kitchen, a dining room, and a cozy library. There’s an option of taking the private internal elevator or sculptural, circular staircase to the middle level, which holds two guest bedrooms with private baths, plus a staff suite. There are two more en suite guest bedroom and a primary suite complete with an ensuite bath and large dressing room on the top floor.

    The apartment overlooks the Empire State building and 23 East 22nd Street.

    As it turns out, Murdoch hasn’t had much luck at One Madison: he sold another condo situated directly below the triplex back in October 2022 for $12.5 million, about $1.5 million less than the $14 million he paid when he snapped it up in 2014.

    The Australian-born tycoon and his new bride—he was married for the fifth time earlier this year to retired Russian molecular biologist Elena Zhukova—isn’t saying goodbye to New York City altogether as he remains the owner of a 6,500-square-foot, full-floor apartment at Hampshire House on Central Park South, which he picked up last year for $35.2 million, a whopping $5.2 million over the asking price.

      Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward’s Manhattan Pied-à-Terre Can Be Yours for $10 Million

      by

      One of Hollywood’s most successful and enduring couples, Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward, long made their home on a 6.8-acre spread in Westport, Connecticut. For decades, they also maintained a penthouse pied-à-terre that Woodward, sixteen years after Newman’s death, has just hoisted onto the market for $9.95 million. Maintenance charges tally up to more than $13,000 per month, according to listings held by Noble Black and Jennifer Stillman of Douglas Elliman Real Estate.

      According to The New York Times, the couple acquired the penthouse in the early 1980s and used it for weeks-long stays in the city and for entertaining prominent, high-powered friends such as Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, Tom Cruise, Cher, and Harry Belafonte. The sale is being handled by the couple’s children on behalf of Woodward, who largely retreated from public life after she was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease in 2007. Carefully maintained but not updated much in recent years, the top-floor spread retains original prewar features like nearly 11-foot ceilings, herringbone wood floors, a wood-burning fireplace, and decorative wood moldings and built-ins.

      Newman was a skilled jazz and blues pianist who kept a grand piano in the living room.

      Evan Joseph Studios

      The apartment is one of two penthouses atop a handsome, J.E.R. Carpenter-designed limestone-clad building, which was completed in 1925 and stands at the corner of East 93rd Street and Fifth Avenue across from the Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir. One of the more distinguished cooperative apartment houses on Fifth Avenue, other notable residents over the years include another entertainment industry couple who have been married for decades, Michael J. Fox and Tracy Pollan, and James Gorman, the former CEO of Morgan Stanley, who will become chairman of The Walt Disney Company next year.

      Essentially set up as a one-bedroom apartment with two bathrooms and a powder room, the penthouse pad spans about 3,000 square feet. Two terraces add another 2,300 square feet of space, one east-facing with sweeping sunrise views over Central Park and the other with north, west and south city and sunset views. 

      Newman, a racecar driver as well as a skilled pianist, once kept a grand piano in the 36-foot-long living room that has a fireplace at one end and a hidden walk-in dry bar at the other. The adjacent dining room has a wall of built-in shelves, while the kitchen is functional if quite dated with tile that dates to the 1980s. The service areas around the kitchen include a butler’s pantry, a breakfast room with terrace access and a spacious laundry room.

      The dining room features original wood moldings and built-ins.

      Off the foyer is a study that can be used as a second bedroom, while the spacious primary suite is a combination of two smaller bedrooms. There are two walk-in closets, a tiled bathroom and access to a huge wrap-around terrace. Woodward owns a separate two-bedroom apartment on the ground floor, which was used as an office, gym and guest space, and is reported to be available for purchase separately. 

      Newman and Woodward are show business legends with storied careers and long lists of accolades. Between them they received 15 Academy Award nominations. Woodward took home a best actress award for the 1957 film The Three Faces of Eve, while Newman won his best actor trophy for Martin Scorsese’s 1986 movie “The Color of Money” and was also honored with the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award in 1994.

      A Gold Dome Caps This $25 Million Manhattan Penthouse Being Sold for Charity

      by

      In late 2001, Greg Carr doled out a little over $7.2 million for a New York City penthouse. Now the co-founder of Boston Technology is hoisting the Fifth Avenue aerie back on the market for a substantially higher $25 million, with proceeds from the sale going to his philanthropic projects in Africa. Lawrence Treglia and Claire Groome of Sotheby’s International Realty-East Side Manhattan Brokerage hold the listing.

      Resting amid the top two floors of the Flatiron District‘s 13-story Beaux-Arts Sohmer Piano Building, which was designed in the late 1890s by pioneering architect Robert Maynicke and is described in marketing materials as a “Renaissance rocket ship,” Carr’s lofty digs offer five bedrooms and an equal number of baths spread across almost 5,800 square feet of modernized living space boasting high ceilings and vast expanses of glass throughout. There’s also a private roof deck with a fire pit, plus a two-story octagonal room capped by a gold-leaf cupola offering picturesque views of the Empire State and Flatiron buildings and Madison Square Park.

      A window-lined lounge can be found inside a 40-foot-high octagonal room below a golden cupola.

      Eitan Gamliely for Sotheby’s International Realty

      Other highlights include banks of elevators that open onto dual foyers traversed via a baronial limestone staircase crowned by a lengthy stretch of skylights. The living room is warmed by a fireplace, the formal dining room comes with a wall of cabinetry for storing china, and the kitchen features top-tier stainless appliances and an accompanying breakfast nook with a built-in banquette.

      Tucked behind the kitchen is a gym with an attached bath, and down on the lower level is the spacious corner primary suite hosting three exposures, a dressing room with a ton of closet space, and a marble-clad bath sporting a copper soaking tub by Waterworks, along with a rainfall shower. Rounding it all out is a hefty $6,374 monthly maintenance fee, which covers the building’s doorman, security guard, and concierge services.

      An eye-catching wrought-iron and gold-railed staircase connects the penthouse’s two floors.

      Eitan Gamliely for Sotheby’s International Realty

      Per Bloomberg, the first to report the listing, Carr used the penthouse largely to host parties and fundraising events but has decided to sell because he now splits his time between Africa—where he’s spent more than $100 million of his own money to restore Gorongosa National Park’s biodiversity and support the surrounding communities—and a primary residence in Sun Valley, Idaho. “I work in Africa, and I go home for holidays in Idaho,” he said, “so it wasn’t leaving a lot of time for New York.”

      Kiefer Sutherland’s Former N.Y.C. Townhouse Hits the Market for $20.5 Million

      by

      A little more than 12 years after Kiefer Sutherland sold his 19th-century townhouse in the West Village neighborhood of Manhattan for $17.5 million—in less than 24 hours after it hit the market, no less—the actor and musician’s former residence has once again surfaced for sale. Greeting all who enter the front doors with a gilded sign above reading Beau Geste (meaning beautiful gesture), the Greek Revival-style abode is now asking $20.5 million.

      Records show Sutherland paid $8.25 million for the property in 2008. The 24 star then sold the place around four years later for $17.5 million to distressed-asset adviser David Matlin and his wife Lisa. They went on to offload the home in 2015 for $17.75 million to a trust linked to Thomas Brodsky, a Manhattan-based developer, owner, and manager of residential spaces in New York City.

      The phrase Beau Geste (meaning beautiful gesture) is etched above the front doors to the Greek Revival-style abode, perhaps hinting at what’s to come.

      Andrew Chui/MW Studio

      Originally built in the early 1800s but renovated during Sutherland’s tenure in collaboration with designer Steven Gambrel, the red brick structure has five bedrooms and seven baths spread across multiple levels accessible via both stairs and an elevator. Touted in marketing materials as offering “the rare and coveted combination of period detail and modern convenience,” the first floor is highlighted by a mud room that flows to an all-white kitchen outfitted with top-tier appliances. An adjacent family room with one of eight fireplaces found throughout opens to a landscaped courtyard garden via a breakfast nook featuring a wine fridge and banquette seating.

      A fireside living room boasts a wall of steel-framed windows overlooking the garden below.

      Holding court on the second floor is a main entrance leading to formal living and dining rooms, and occupying the entire third level is a primary suite boasting a private terrace, two walk-in closets, and a marble-clad bath flaunting dual vanities, a built-in soaking tub, and a separate shower. Four more ensuite bedrooms can be found on the fourth and fifth floors, with a staircase ascending to a rooftop terrace equipped with lounging and dining areas, plus an outdoor kitchen and shower.

      A landscaped rooftop terrace is ideal for alfresco lounging and entertaining.

      Andrew Chui/MW Studio

      Rounding out the listing, which is shared by Chris Poore, Serena Boardman and Eyal Dagan of Sotheby’s International Realty, is a finished basement hosting a wine cellar, laundry facilities, and a cedar closet.

      The eldest son of late actor Donald Sutherland has since moved on to other residential circumstances. Earlier this year, he sold a modest English Tudor-style residence tucked away in the trendy Atwater Village neighborhood of L.A. for $1.6 million. And in 2022, around the same time he quietly sold his longtime estate in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Toluca Lake to engaged Hollywood couple Macauley Culkin and Brenda Song in an off-market deal for $8 million, he picked up a historic 73-acre retreat in New York’s Hudson Valley for $5 million.

      Fredrik Eklund Snaps Up an All-New Condo in N.Y.C.’s Greenwich Village

      by

      As Argo Real Estate and Bsafal’s highly anticipated mixed-use development in New York City’s nears the finish line, it’s already snagged a hot new resident. As first reported by The Real Deal, Fredrik Eklund has officially picked up a luxe condo at 64 University Place, adding to a property portfolio that includes homes in Connecticut and Miami, as well as a recently purchased penthouse in Austin, Texas.

      Records show the real estate broker and reality TV celeb doled out $3.35 million for a two-bedroom, three-bath unit resting on the fourth floor of the 11-story, KPF-designed structure, which boasts a throwback red brick exterior clad in ivy. According to TRD, the transaction included a $2.25 million mortgage and works out at around $2,400 per square foot.

      Open-concept great rooms sport living and dining areas flanked by oversized arched windows.

      Per marketing materials, the roughly 1,400-square-foot home includes SPACE Copenhagen interiors adorned throughout with hand-laid white oak floors, 10-foot ceilings, oversized arched windows and doors, and Juliette balconies.

      Additional highlights include a spacious great room holding a combined living and dining area nestled alongside a sleek kitchen outfitted with Poliform cabinetry, marble countertops, Dornbracht fixtures, and top-tier Miele appliances. There’s also a grand primary suite offering a walk-in closet, as well as a spa-inspired bath equipped with dual vanities and a soaking tub.

      Eklund and his family also will be privy to plenty of amenities, including a 24-hour doorman, a landscaped courtyard flaunting a cascading waterfall, a fitness center, a lounge, a rooftop terrace with an outdoor kitchen, and ground-floor retail space.

      The building’s communal rooftop terrace comes with an outdoor kitchen.

      “This building is very special as I signed the very first contract after having worked on it in pre-development for years with the team,” Eklund said in a post on Instagram. “I just knew how beautiful it would turn out. Then what happened is nothing short of a miracle if you believe there are miracles in real estate: the building sold out all 28 residences in a few weeks, completely off-market … what Kohn Pedersen Fox designed with the warm brick and arches is just so stunning and fits in perfectly with the history of Greenwich Village. And the soothing interiors by SPACE Copenhagen are perfect too.”

      Construction on the project began in 2021, with completion estimated for the second half of this year. Sales and marketing duties were handled exclusively by Eklund and his business partner John Gomes, who also bought his own two-bedroom unit at the building.

      A Sound Effects Pioneer’s Hudson River-View Manhattan Apartment Is Up for Grabs

      by

      He might not be a household name, but if you happened to watch movies in the 1960s and beyond, you likely came across Elisha Birnbaum’s handiwork as a foley artist. Think of a trotting horse achieved via coconut shells striking against a carpeted floor and even a knife cutting through flesh, which he mimicked by buying the largest turkey he could find and then mutilating the massive fowl so much that his wife Zmira refused to cook it for dinner.

      He subsequently founded the New York City-based Sound One Corporation, which would go on to become a prominent East Coast post-production sound studio that worked with top producers and directors such as Martin Scorsese, Nora Ephron, Spike Lee, Ang Lee, and Woody Allen. And though he retired in 2000 after selling Sound One to Liberty Media, Birnbaum’s CineMontage obituary reports that he continued to watch as many movies as he could and picked up painting and digital art to fill his days.

      Now, almost a year after he passed away at age 92, the Upper West Side apartment that he occupied for more than five decades has popped up for sale, asking $3.7 million. The listing is held by Jennifer Roberts of Coldwell Banker Warburg.

      The entrance gallery flows to a skyline-view living room warmed by a wood-burning fireplace.

      Sited within the 18-story Normandy residential building designed in the late ’30s by noted architect Emery Roth, Birnbaum’s former home rests on the 17th floor and has four bedrooms and three baths in roughly 2,400 square feet of living space spread across two combined units. The interiors are outfitted with herringbone-patterned hardwood floors, nine-foot beamed ceilings, wood-paneled walls, stained-glass accents, and large windows overlooking the picturesque skyline and the Hudson River.

      Highlights include a columned entrance gallery that leads to a living room boasting a wood-burning fireplace. On one side of the gallery is a spacious bookshelf-lined room holding a dining area that connects to a modern black-and-red kitchen equipped with an eat-in peninsula and an adjacent seating/breakfast nook.

      The bookshelf-lined dining area sits adjacent to an eye-catching red-and-black kitchen.

      Elsewhere is the primary bedroom, which hosts a private terrace and a swanky blue-tiled bath with a built-in soaking tub and a separate shower. Three additional bedrooms include one with its own entrance, plus a second terrace and a laundry room that previously served as an extra kitchen.

      A hefty $6,270 monthly common charge fee allows the new owner to take advantage of numerous amenities that encompass 24-hour doormen, a resident manager, a landscaped garden courtyard and rooftop deck, two fitness centers, a children’s playroom, and bike and storage space. An added bonus: The building is right across the street from Riverside Park and its scenic walking paths.

      Dick Ebersol and Susan Saint James’s N.Y.C. Pied-à-Terre Is Up for Grabs at $2.5 Million

      by

      A New York City residence long owned by Dick Ebersol and Susan Saint James has just popped up for sale in the Lenox Hill neighborhood of Manhattan.

      The married entertainment industry veterans—he a broadcasting legend best known for co-creating Saturday Night Live with Lorne Michaels, as well as developing the concept for Sunday Night Football and producing numerous Olympic Games as head of NBC Sports, and she a retired actress who starred in shows like McMillan & Wife alongside Rock Hudson—are asking just under $2.5 million for the five-room apartment. The listing is held by Maria Daou of Coldwell Banker Warburg.

      The couple’s home rests on the 35th floor of the former Trump Plaza, at 61st Street and 3rd Avenue in Manhattan.

      The 36-story residential and retail building at 167 East 61st Street, formerly known as Trump Plaza, was designed by architect Philip Birnbaum and built in the early 1980s. The home rests on the 35th floor and has three bedrooms and an equal number of baths in 1,700 square feet of open-concept living space outfitted with high ceilings and mosaic-style parquet wood floors.

      Among the highlights is a bookshelf-clad entrance hallway with art gallery-like walls that leads to a spacious living room boasting floor-to-ceiling windows and access to a wraparound terrace providing sweeping views of the city skyline, Central Park, and beyond. An adjacent dining area connects to a gallery-style equipped with custom blue-hued cabinetry, plus GE Café and Sub-Zero appliances.

      Three bedrooms are filtered across the 1,700-square-foot city-view apartment.

      Vala Kodish/Coldwell Banker Warburg

      Elsewhere are a laundry station and a trio of en-suite bedrooms, most notably a corner primary retreat hosting a walk-in closet, as well as a renovated bath flaunting dual marble sinks and a deep soaking tub.

      The new owner also will be privy to plenty of amenities, courtesy of a hefty $6,884 monthly HOA fee, including a landscaped atrium bolstered by a two-story waterfall, a communal lobby, a dedicated staff, a 24-hour doorman, a concierge, a fitness center, a playroom, a private community garden, a garage, and storage space. The building, which allows pets, pied-á-terre ownership, co-purchases, gifting, and subletting, comes with a 2-percent flip tax paid by the buyer.

      In addition to their N.Y.C. apartment, the couple recently paid $6.7 million for a trendy modern farmhouse-style property within the upscale Los Angeles neighborhood of Cheviot Hills, just south of Beverly Hills and Century City. The husband-and-wife duo also maintains another L.A.-area residence in the beachside city of Santa Monica, along with homes in New England and Colorado.

      Star Moves: Byron Allen Sheds His Aspen Getaway, While Nicolas Cage and Claire Danes Pick Up New Digs

      by

      This week in celebrity real estate transactions, Byron Allen sold his fully furnished Rocky Mountain retreat, Nicolas Cage picked up an oceanfront home in Malibu, and word on the street is Claire Danes and Hugh Dancy have settled into a new townhouse in New York City.

      Barely three months after Byron Allen flipped a couple of multimillion-dollar homes in Beverly Hills up for sale at $40 million, the comedian-turned-media mogul has sold a modern mansion in the Colorado ski resort town of Aspen in a hush-hush off-market deal for $60 million, or a whopping $33 million more than the CEO of Entertainment Studios paid for the David Johnston-designed spread in 2020. Built in 2015 and resting on almost an acre of land just steps from the Roaring Fork River, the seven-bedroom house has roughly 9,000 square feet of remodeled living space overlooking the surrounding mountains. There’s also a Bulthaup kitchen and a heated pool. As first reported by The Wall Street Journal, Allen decided to sell because he wasn’t spending much time there. His personal property portfolio still contains numerous residences in premium locales such as New York, Maui, and Malibu.

      Meanwhile, on the West Coast, Oscar-winning actor Nicolas Cage recently plunked down $10.5 million for a beachside property nestled amid an exclusive gated thoroughfare in Malibu. Completed in the early 1990s, the four-bedroom, six-bath abode has nearly 4,000 square feet on four floors highlighted by a living room sporting a fireplace and a bar, a kitchen outfitted with Thermador appliances, and a fireside primary suite with a luxe bath. Sliding glass doors open the entire house to the Pacific, with other notable features including a two-car garage that has an elevator and an adjacent beach lot. Cage also owns a $2.85 million home in Las Vegas that he picked up in 2021.

      And in N.Y.C., Claire Danes and Hugh Dancy put their longtime townhouse in the West Village neighborhood of Manhattan up for sale last month at $9.75 million because they needed more space for their three children and frequent family guests. Saying they weren’t planning to go far and preferred to stay downtown, we hear through the property gossip grapevine they’ve already doled out $13 million for another townhouse near Gramercy Park, this one a 25-footer that was originally built back in the 1800s and has since been transformed into an “architectural masterpiece.” Spanning five levels and offering about 8,500 square feet, the swanky spread boasts a total of eight bedrooms and 10 baths, spacious living and dining areas, a sleek kitchen with a breakfast nook, a library, and recreation and media rooms. Topping it all off, literally, is a roof terrace. More

      Bravo! Andy Cohen’s Kaleidoscopic Manhattan Duplex Hits the Market for $14 Million

      by

      America’s fan-favored Real Housewives reality franchise kicked off in 2006 as the brainchild of then vice president of original programming at Bravo, Andy Cohen. Nearly two decades later and recently dubbed the “king of reality TV” by the Los Angeles Times, Cohen has added a trophy home or two to his portfolio, and now one of them is coming to market. 

      Housed in a coveted Bing & Bing Bros. building in New York’s West Village, the duplex residence will carry a $14 million price tag when it’s officially listed later this month with Ryan Serhant of SERHANT. The pre-war abode, with close to 3,500 square feet of living space, is a combination of four units, masterfully renovated by interior designer Eric Hughes and architect Gordon Kahn. Cohen originally bought a single unit at the Horatio Street address in 2003 and went on to buy several others across two floors from 2014 to 2021. The highest amount he paid for a unit was in April 2014, when the talk show host dished out $2.5 million, according to property records. 

      The main living area houses one of two fireplaces.

      Three bedrooms and four bathrooms, plus an additional powder room, are filtered across the two-story residence. There are two fireplaces, natural light abounds thanks to its sum of 25 windows that frame panoramic skyline vistas, and, like Cohen, the residence has a cheerful vibe that utilizes a panoply of color, pattern and a playful sense of style throughout. Cohen’s second-floor office, which he refers to as “the Clubhouse,” features a shimmering gold disco ball hanging over the walnut, steel, and glass staircase.

      Highlights include a decadent, lipstick-red powder room with a vanity for freshening up, as well as a silver leaf-accented cocktail bar with plenty of shelf space for all your favorite spirits, from Clase Azul to Bowmore. Cohen’s primary suite, on the other hand, is comparatively toned down, with cool gray walls that balance out a funky purple rug and over-scaled olive-green and red plaid bed. The attached bath offers dual sinks, a large soaking tub, and a separate shower sheathed in dark blue tiles. 

      The primary bedroom includes one of the apartment’s two wood-burning fireplaces.

      Eytan Stern Weber/Evan Joseph Images/The Stern Weber Studio

      Cohen’s decision to sell after more than two decades in residence likely has to do with the father of two having wrapped up renovations on a spacious penthouse, also in the West Village, that he scooped up back in 2022 for $18.2 million. He also maintains a custom-built oceanfront retreat in the Hamptons.
