    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.

      Inside George and Amal Clooney’s $50 Million Property Portfolio

      by

      Few couples combine star power, smarts, and style quite like George and Amal Clooney. George, 62, is an actor, director, and producer whose career has earned him two Oscars and, most recently, a Tony nomination for Best Performance by a Leading Actor in a Play for Good Night, and Good Luck, along with decades of Hollywood acclaim. He’s dazzled audiences in cinematic landmarks including Ocean’s Eleven, Up in the Air, Michael Clayton, Gravity, and The Descendants, and has been a longtime brand ambassador for Omega, proving his wrist game is as strong as his acting chops.

      Beyond the screen, the Oscar winner has built an equally impressive business empire. He co-founded Casamigos with friends Rande Gerber and Mike Meldman in 2013 and sold the tequila brand to Diageo four years later in a whopping $1 billion deal. Since then, Clooney and his Casamigos partners have reunited to launch a new non-alcoholic beer venture. He also runs his own production company, Smokehouse Pictures, and has secured major endorsement deals with brands like Nespresso and Fiat.

      Amal, 46, is a human rights lawyer and barrister celebrated for defending freedom of speech, refugees, and international justice on the global stage. Married since 2014, the pair are parents to eight-year-old twins Ella and Alexander, and together they command a combined net worth estimated at around $550 million.

      It’s no surprise that their accomplishments spill over into the spaces they call home. From the couple’s iconic Lake Como villa in Italy to a sprawling French country estate, a chic property along the River Thames in England, and multiple residences in New York City and Kentucky, the Clooneys have curated a truly global real estate portfolio worthy of their A-list status.

      Their past homes are just as noteworthy. George sold his longtime Studio City residence in 2024 for $14.5 million to newlyweds Olivia Culpo and Christian McCaffrey, ending an era. Meanwhile, a property he owned in Los Cabos, Mexico, alongside Gerber and Cindy Crawford, changed hands in 2015, proving that even his former escapes are high-profile.

      Below, we’ve rounded up the Clooneys’ most notable residences—from the serene vineyards of France to the bustling streets of New York—offering a glimpse into how one of the world’s most celebrated couples chooses to live.

      Lily Allen and David Harbour List Their Eclectic Brooklyn Townhouse for $8 Million

      by

      Shortly after their 2020 nuptials in Las Vegas, Stranger Things actor David Harbour and British pop star Lily Allen doled out $3.35 million for a “very lived-in” 19th-century Italianate brownstone in Brooklyn’s leafy Carroll Gardens enclave.

      The couple subsequently enlisted the services of architect Ben Bischoff of MADE and designer Billy Cotton and embarked on an extensive renovation that was featured in an Architectural Digest video tour. Now, four years later, they’ve broken up and have decided to sell the eclectic five-bedroom, four-bath abode for nearly double what they paid, asking a speck under $8 million. Carl Gambino of Compass holds the listing.

      Drawing on three distinct design themes—traditional English, modern Brooklyn townhouse, and layered Italian in a nod to the neighborhood’s Italian/American roots—Cotton’s goal was to preserve the original details and character. He also wanted to create a casual, family-friendly atmosphere. The result? Eccentric yet inviting interiors that boast chintz balloon shades, crystal chandeliers, pink silk, tiger-patterned textiles, Mylar wallpaper, and some whimsical swan-shaped fixtures thrown in for good measure.

      A fancifully carpeted and wallpapered primary bath/sitting room has a fireplace and pink soaking tub.

      Hayley Ellen Day

      The first order of business was coming up with a warm and functional kitchen, complete with Plain English cabinetry, an Ann Sacks-tiled backsplash, a fancy Officine Gullo range, a custom dining table big enough for dropping off shopping bags and completing homework, and a coffee station with a hot/cold water tap. From there, a green-hued living/garden room is anchored by a boxy fireplace, Zuber wallpaper, and a custom double-sided green sofa enveloped in tufted emerald velvet.

      Other highlights include a primary bath/sitting room sporting carpet and shades from Pierre Frey, yet more Zuber wallpaper, Ralph Lauren Home sconces, a pink soaking tub, and a fireplace bookended by vanities crafted from gilt bronze and parquetry commodes. A separate space holds the toilet and a combination tub and shower, while pocketing doors open to reveal an intimate and windowless “bed womb.” There are also dual walk-in closets, one a dressing area with bespoke Florense shelving and the other a black-clad space with a desk.

      A narrow staircase descends to a more modern lower level spotlighted by a powder room flaunting an ebony sink and toilet set against bold geometric wallpaper, plus a media room warmed by a stone fireplace and a carpet and sectional sofa dressed in tiger print. A door opens to the enclosed and gated backyard, which hosts two structures housing a Finnish sauna and a cold plunge.

      At the time of the AD home tour, Harbour stated that the townhouse’s style is a big change from that of his former New York City loft in Nolita. “I’m a suburban boy from Westchester, so I’m accustomed to a more middle-of-the-road aesthetic,” he said. Allen, armed with her own vision, instead leaned into her overall desire for something truly “weird and wonderful.”

      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.”
