      A San Francisco Shoe Mogul Gave This $15.5 Million 1908 Mansion a Sophisticated Makeover

      by

      Around five years ago, William Roth Martin doled out nearly $8.8 million for a 117-year-old mansion in San Francisco’s affluent Pacific Heights neighborhood, just minutes from Lafayette Park and bustling Fillmore Street. Now the co-founder of Rothy’s—a popular and stylish eco-friendly shoe brand favored by celebs like Meghan Markle, Reese Witherspoon, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Emma Roberts—has put his revamped residence back up for sale with Neal Ward of Compass.

      The asking price is a dash under $15.5 million, which is a whopping $6.7 million more than he paid in mid-2020. But Martin, who’s also an heir to the wealthy de Young family behind the San Francisco Chronicle and de Young Museum, did spend two years and millions of dollars gut-renovating the handsome circa 1908 abode in collaboration with architect Houman Sharif and builder Clayton Timbrell.

      A mostly blue media room topped by a huge skylight comes complete with a library nook and wet bar.

      Encompassing four levels serviced by an elevator, the red brick structure features a total of five bedrooms and an equal number of baths. More than 7,200 square feet of Steven Volpe-designed living space boasts bold, colorful rooms, white oak floors, 11-foot ceilings, and five fireplaces. There are also all-new windows, doors, and lighting, along with mechanical, automation, and security systems.

      An entrance gallery displaying an eye-catching tree branch chandelier and a curving iron-railed staircase opens into the main level, which is spotlighted by a south-facing living room donning picture windows enhanced with custom Italian silk drapery. From there, an elegant dining room sports a herringbone brick fireplace with an 18th-century surround, a built-in bar with an antique mirror backsplash, and two sets of French doors spilling out to a terrace and a maple-laced garden down below, while the gourmet kitchen is outfitted with Calacatta countertops, rift white oak cabinetry in an ebonized finish, an eat-in island, and top-tier appliances.

      The garden was designed by landscape architect Erica Trimbell.

      Holding court upstairs is a lounge/office and an en-suite guest bedroom, plus a primary suite that comes with a fireside seating area, dual walk-in closets, and a luxe limestone-clad bath. The topmost floor holds two more bedrooms and a bath, a blue-hued media room with a library nook and a wet bar, and an all-pink solarium that has French-paned windows and a wraparound balcony; and the lower level hosts an additional guest suite, a gym, a laundry room, and an attached three-car garage.

      Though Martin stepped down as president of Rothy’s last year, he still helps to create shoes and handbags largely out of plastic water bottles as the chief creative and innovation officer. He and his wife Emily have decided to sell because their four teenage children are now away at boarding school, and the couple has relocated to Texas, where they are renovating a 100-year-old home in the suburbs of San Antonio that was built by Emily’s great-grandfather. “It was the next chapter,” Martin said in a statement, “and something that will be fun for the two of us.”

      This $10 Million House Above L.A.’s Sunset Strip Has a Two-Story Entertainment Complex

      by

      Back in 2007, Angie Thornbury doled out $2.8 million for an unremarkable 1960s ranch house perched in the coveted Bird Streets enclave of Los Angeles. The designer and developer, who passed away in 2020, subsequently renovated the Hollywood Hills property high above the Sunset Strip in her signature party-centric style, complete with glass panels peering into a two-level entertainment space down below.

      Rented out through the years and currently occupied by Thornbury’s daughter, part-time KTLA meteorologist Liberté Chan, the residence has now become available for the first time in almost two decades. The asking price is a speck under $10 million, with Joyce Rey and Katia Miramontes of Coldwell Banker Realty handling the listing.

      Spanning multiple levels, the modern hilltop abode rests on a third of an acre of land fronted by a gated driveway that empties out at an attached two-car garage with lifts to accommodate additional vehicles. Inside, a total of three bedrooms and three baths are spread across about 7,000 square feet of elevator-accessible living space boasting French oak floors, soaring ceilings, art-friendly walls, and vast expanses of glass providing sweeping city skyline and ocean views.

      An open-concept great room sports several lounging spots, including one nestled beside a black-veined marble fireplace and, just behind that, an indoor hot tub. An adjacent dining room surrounded by smoky mirrors flows to a kitchen with sleek ivory cabinetry, an eat-in island, and Miele and Wolf appliances, while a swanky primary suite has a round canopy bed, a walk-in closet that doubles as a panic room, and a soaking tub and shower in a glass-enclosed wet room.

      The two-level basement is ready for entertaining with a bar and lounge boasting a wine cellar.

      Rounding it all out are the lower-level party facilities, which feature a multipurpose movie and performance theater that’s complete with a stage, a dance pole, and a viewing balcony. Nearby are an airy lounge with a sinuous, fully equipped bar and climate-controlled wine cellar, a gym, and a wellness room. The backyard also offers plenty of perks, including a lap pool with an integrated fire pit and a separate spa.

      Chan, an L.A. native who recently became a mother and spends her spare time as a wellness, fashion, and travel influencer, told Mansion Global she has decided to sell because she has different lifestyle needs now and her pandemic-escape party pad “isn’t the right house for a newborn.”

      Why America’s Billionaire Class Is Snapping Up Prime D.C. Real Estate

      by

      Historically, Washington, D.C., has been where politcos go to make policy. Today, it’s also where the ultra-wealthy go to hobnob with Capitol Hill decision-makers and West Wing movers and shakers. In recent years, a trend has taken shape in the nation’s capital, where everyone from tech billionaires and hedge fund titans to crypto crusaders and cabinet picks is descending on D.C., not just for influence, but for real estate. The result? An unprecedented boom in the District’s ultra-high-end housing market, with multimillion-dollar properties trading hands at a pace and price point that might even raise brows in famously high-cost locales like Beverly Hills and Palm Beach. 

      Mark Zuckerberg is the latest of the world’s wealthiest to secure a residential foothold in the capital, according to Politco. The Meta CEO, who also maintains homes in Hawaii and California’s Bay Area, was recently revealed as the buyer behind a $23 million all-cash purchase in the leafy Massachusetts Avenue Heights neighborhood. The 15,400-square-foot architectural stunner—designed by noted D.C. architect Robert M. Gurney—features five bedrooms, seven-and-a-half baths, two kitchens, and a pool complex fortified by security walls. Located just a quick drive from the White House (or a brisk stroll from Vice President J.D. Vance’s residence at the Naval Observatory), it’s a strategic buy in more ways than one. 

      Mark Zuckerberg dropped $23 million in cash for his new home in D.C. in March 2025.

      Anice Hoachlander

      A Meta spokesperson told The New York Post the acquisition will allow Zuckerberg to “spend more time [in D.C.] as Meta continues the work on policy issues related to American technology leadership.” 

      Zuckerberg joins a growing cohort of ultra-wealthy tech titans and Trump-aligned business leaders reshaping Washington’s high-end housing market. Amazon founder and Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos kicked off the trend back in 2016, scooping up the former Textile Museum in Kalorama for $23 million. The 27,000-square-foot behemoth—once two side-by-side mansions—set the tone for what was to come: a rush of high-net-worth individuals turning D.C.’s historically discreet neighborhoods into billionaire enclaves. It has been widely reported he later shelled out another $5 million for a house directly across the street.

      In 2016, Jeff Bezos purchased D.C.’s former Textile Museum in Kalorama for $23 million.

      Then came Peter Thiel. The PayPal co-founder scooped up a $13 million estate on Woodland Drive in 2021, Washingtonian reported. The seller? Former Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross. Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt followed suit, snapping up a storied N Street residence for $15 million. The home was once graced by none other than Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.

      But the tech elite aren’t the only ones moving in. Washington’s new crop of political appointees is bringing their deep pockets and taste for trophy homes. Howard Lutnick, the billionaire CEO of Cantor Fitzgerald and President Trump’s pick for commerce secretary, recently shattered local records with a $25 million purchase of Fox News anchor Bret Baier’s French chateau-style home in Foxhall. Meanwhile, Treasury Secretary nominee Scott Bessent—worth over $700 million, per his financial disclosures—went house-hunting in Georgetown earlier this year. His target became a Federal-style home occupied by Connie Milstein, a former ambassador to Malta, that he acquired for $12.5 million, The Wall Street Journal reported.  

      Howard Lutnick bought Bret Baier’s former Foxhall home for a record $25 million.

      Newcomers to Congress and business-world mainstays are planting roots in proximity to the nation’s great halls of power, too. David Sacks, the “White House AI and Crypto Czar,” picked up a $10.3 million home earlier this year, and nearby, former hedge-fund manager and now Senator David McCormick ponied up $10.5 million for the Georgetown residence of the late attorney C. Boyden Gray, a former ambassador to the European Union.

      As for the ripple effects? Hard to miss. Homes that used to sit on the market are now getting multiple offers. Take one Georgetown mansion, for example—originally listed at $13.95 million. The price did drop to $9.99 million, but it still ended up selling over asking in a bidding war, The WSJ reported. Bottom line: being close to Capitol Hill has never been more desirable—or more expensive.

      ‘NYPD Blue’ Star Dennis Franz Is Asking $18 Million for His Bucolic Montecito Retreat

      by

      Back in 1996, around the same time he won the second of four Emmys for his legendary role as hot-headed detective Andy Sipowicz on the long-running ABC cop drama NYPD Blue, actor Dennis Franz and his real estate developer wife Joanie doled out roughly $2 million for a coastal retreat in Santa Barbara County’s affluent Montecito enclave. Fast-forward almost two decades later, and the Hamptons-style estate has returned to the market for nearly $18 million. Michael Calcagno and Tricia Pennestri of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties share the listing.

      Originally a historic one-story farmhouse, the residence has since been extensively updated in collaboration with the late architect Peter Becker of Becker Henson Niksto Architects and features a total of seven bedrooms and nine baths in roughly 9,000 square feet sprawled across two separate wings spanning two stories. Period and modern details abound in the form of hardwood floors, wood-beam ceilings, custom millwork, and moldings, while French doors off all the main rooms offer seamless indoor-outdoor environs.

      The great room has a stone fireplace and a steel chandelier dangling from a cathedral ceiling.

      Resting on just under two acres of fully walled land in the adorable Hedgerow neighborhood, near Miramar Beach and the Upper Village shopping center, the brown wood-shingled and white-trimmed structure is hidden away off a private street behind hedge-lined walls and double gates. The driveway empties out at a circular natural stone motor court centered around a tiered fountain, with adjacent steps meandering their way up to a covered porch entry.

      Once inside, a slate-clad foyer flows to a fireside great room resting beneath a vaulted ceiling, as well as a green-hued dining room that seats up to 10 and an entertainment lounge sporting a wet bar topped with a pressed-tin ceiling. A cozy breakfast room connects to the open and inviting kitchen, which is warmed by a huge stone fireplace and boasts an eat-in butcher block island, two sinks, high-end stainless appliances, and a walk-in pantry.

      A handsome billiard room sitting beneath a coffered wood ceiling opens to the grounds.

      Jim Bartsch

      Elsewhere is a coffered-ceiling billiard room, plus a fireside primary suite that has a private balcony and dual closets and baths. Perhaps standing out most of all, though, are the picturesque mountain-view grounds, which are laced with 100-year-old heirloom rose bushes, a variety of fruit trees, and numerous alfresco lounging and entertaining terraces containing a barbecue station and fireplaces, a well-fed pool, and a pair of pergola-shaded bocce courts. There’s also a detached studio/gym, plus a three-car garage.

      Franz, who’s also known for playing two different characters on Hill Street Blues, retired from acting after his 12-season run on NYPD Blue ended in 2005. “I needed a break. I was just tired,” he related to the New York Post in a 2015 interview. “When we finished up, I told my agents I needed a year off, and that year went by in about 10 minutes. I realized I’m pretty good at this and I’d like another year to think about what’s next—and during that second period of time, I sort of made my mind up that this is where I wanna be. I just wanted to live an enjoyable, irresponsible, spend-time-with-my-family kind of life.”

      A viewing area can be found between a pair of lighted bocce courts.

      A 51st-Floor ‘Sky Mansion’ With a Home Theater in Miami Can Be Yours for $24 Million

      by

      A sky-high condo in an award-winning residential tower is up for grabs in Miami. Perched on the 51st floor of Zaha Hadid’s One Thousand Museum in the downtown area, the full-floor residence spans over 10,000 square feet with five bedrooms and panoramic views of the city skyline, Biscayne Bay, and Atlantic Ocean. Late Market America founder and socialite James Ridinger and his wife, Loren, bought the place for $18.5 million in 2021. Hedgie Ken Griffin and David and Victoria Beckham own sprawling units, but Ridinger’s home is currently the largest available in the tower.

      Loren Ridinger, the current Market America CEO and a bestselling author, gave People an inside look at the epic residence this past February, shortly after it arrived on the market with its $24 million price tag. Seth Semilof of HL Real Estate Group, which facilitated the couple’s original purchase of the home, holds the listing exclusively. 

      The great room includes seated wet bar and open views.

      Legendary Productions

      One Thousand Museum was completed in 2019, stands 62 stories tall, and features a concrete exoskeleton with a web of flowing lines that provide structural support. Doormen greet you downstairs in the spectacular lobby before taking the elevator up to the what marketing materials describe as the “sky mansion,” just one of 10 full floor residences in the building. 

      Decorative wallpaper opposite black walls in the foyer allow blue skies to pop at the end of the hall. Further in, soaring ceilings add to the airiness while a wall of floor-to-ceiling glass lets in an abundance of natural light. Motorized window treatments aid in heat and light modulation.

      Curtains help baffle sound in the plush home theater.

      Legendary Productions

      A seated wet bar and a 1,200-square-foot patio are highlights of the main living area. Wide corridors trailing throughout the home are also noteworthy when considering their expansive walls, which are perfect for hanging blue-chip art and family photographs. A gourmet kitchen, formal dining area, and office also take up space, along with dedicated staff quarters and a curtained home theater. The best views of downtown are found in the primary suite, though, where the marble-clad bathroom with a steam shower and soaking tub are featured next to breathtaking vistas.

      Other perks afforded to residents of the tower include access to an aquatic center, spa, sky lounge, and rooftop helipad. White-glove services at the property opposite Museum Park further sweeten the deal, alongside its proximity to new art and science museums. 

      Records show Ridinger has also long owned two side-by-side estates on a serpentine Miami Beach street known for its high-profile residents, and she and her late husband previously owned a $20 million condo in New York’s Chelsea before relocating to a larger home in Greenwich, Connecticut, which they listed for $7.49 million in 2019.

      YouTuber Alpharad’s Sleek L.A. Home Lists for $5 Million

      by

      It’s been almost three years since Jacob Rabon picked up a Los Angeles residence in the San Fernando Valley community of Sherman Oaks. Now the successful YouTube and Twitch streamer—known to his roughly 4 million subscribers as Alpharad—is looking to hand over the keys to the modern digs for a smidge under $5 million. Brandon Piller and Joey Ben-Zvi of The Agency share the listing.

      Purchased by the 29-year-old Oklahoma native for $4.8 million in summer 2022, shortly after it was newly built, the stucco and glass structure rests on almost a quarter of an acre of land fronted by an attached two-car garage with EV chargers.

      The living room is spotlighted by a wood-encased linear fireplace topped by a big-screen TV.

      A steep flight of stairs leads up from the driveway to the tall wooden front door, which opens into 5,300 square feet of tri-level living space featuring a total of six bedrooms and eight baths. An elevator and a curving wood and iron-railed staircase service all floors, while a swath of automated smart-home systems control sound, lighting, security, and more.

      Main-level highlights include an open-concept great room that opens directly to the fully walled backyard via sliding glass doors. Holding court here is a fireside living room, as well as a dining area topped by an industrial-style chandelier mimicking a collection of lightsabers and a dark-hued kitchen boasting custom cabinetry, an oversized island with an integrated breakfast table, and top-tier appliances.

      The kitchen is stocked with state-of-the-art appliances.

      The lower level has a cozy family room, a movie theater, and ample space for an office or a studio, while the upper floor holds a posh primary suite flaunting a fireplace, a private balcony, a walk-in closet, and a spa-inspired bath equipped with dual vanities, a soaking tub, and a rainfall shower.

      Five additional bedrooms, including one on the lower level and the rest up top, all have their own bath. And outdoors, you’ll find small but nicely landscaped grounds hosting a pool and spa, a built-in barbecue, and a grass-trimmed concrete patio warmed by a large veined-marble fireplace.

      As it turns out, records reveal Alpharad’s YouTuber friend Jaiden Animations recently sold a fully updated property in L.A.’s Eagle Rock neighborhood for $2.6 million.

      English TV Chef Fanny Cradock’s Former U.K. Home Lists for $6.6 Million

      by

      Before Mary Berry and Prue Leith, there was Fanny Cradock… 

      The original grande dame of English cookery television, Cradock swept onto screens in the 1950s with theatrical flair. Draped in pearls and shoulder pads, she transformed the British kitchen into a stage—and her home into something of a set. That home, the Dower House, a Grade II-listed Georgian residence tucked into the lush edge of The Grove in Hertfordshire, is now making its return to the market for £5 million (or $6.6 million) with Knight Frank and Savills.  

      Dating back to the late 17th and 18th centuries, Dower House is no ordinary period property. In fact, it has quite a storied provenance. Cradock lived here during the height of her television fame, and Romantic composer Frederick Delius occupied it decades prior. And it was from this very kitchen that Cradock broadcast her BBC program. The kitchen remains green, as a nod to its iconic past, but the infamous 1970s tiles are gone.

      The home itself was extensively updated by financier David Cowham in 2013, including new oak floors and a lavish library, The Times reported. Current owner Christopher Mackenzie has since invested over $1 million, adding security gates, air conditioning, and a separate cottage, while enhancing the grounds with maples, a golden birch, and cherry trees. 

      Today, the almost 5,200-square-foot home comprises seven bedrooms, six bathrooms, and a suite of reception rooms. Antique French oak flooring, handcrafted cabinetry, and walnut paneling by David Salmon of Arthur Brett & Sons lend an understated sense of grandeur. The principal suite overlooks the mill stream, with a dressing room and spa-like en suite; guest suites, including one entirely refurbished in 2024, provide ample space for entertaining on a Cradock scale.

      There are antique French oak floors throughout, along with several brick fireplaces.

      Beyond the interior lies over two acres of grounds bordered by the River Gade. A wooden bridge crosses the mill stream to a secondary lawn, while outbuildings—including a newly appointed studio annex, wine room, and gardener’s office—underscore the estate’s elegance.

      “Wonderfully located in a peaceful rural setting, despite being just 17 minutes from London Euston by train, the Dower House features beautiful riverside gardens with hundreds of bulbs planted by the current owner that provide vibrant color in spring and summer,” says Edward Welton, partner in the country department North Thames and Chilterns team. “This exceptional family home presents a unique opportunity to live in a wonderful location.”

      ‘Power’ Creator Courtney Kemp’s Charming Spanish-Style Bungalow in L.A. Lists for $2.7 Million

      by

      Courtney Kemp doled out nearly $2 million for a petite bungalow in the Hancock Park neighborhood of Los Angeles back in late 2018. Now the much-lauded TV writer and producer—most known for the successful Starz series Power and its many spinoffs, as well as The Good Wife and The Bernie Mac Show—has decided to part ways with the home, hoisting it on the market for a dash under $2.7 million with Timothy Di Prizito and Aleff Luz of Christie’s International Real Estate SoCal.

      Originally built in the 1920s, the Spanish Revival structure has since been meticulously updated. Tucked away on a quiet, tree-lined street and secured behind hedge-lined walls and a gate, the house sports three bedrooms and an equal number of baths in a little more than 2,100 square feet of single-level living space rife with restored hardwood floors, hand-painted mosaic tile, casement windows, arched doorways, and French doors spilling outside.

      An original Batchelder fireplace serves as a focal point of the living room.

      From the street, a terracotta walkway flows through a grassy front yard before emptying out at a covered colonnade. A glass-and-wood-trimmed front door opens into the living room, which is centered around a striking Batchelder fireplace. Beyond that is a dining room with the original built-in hutch, plus an eat-in kitchen outfitted with custom cabinetry, stone countertops, a center island, an apron-front sink, Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, and a breakfast nook.

      Two en-suite bedrooms tucked away from the public areas include the primary suite, which comes with a private patio, a walk-in closet, and a spa-like bath sporting a pedestal sink and a large glass-encased shower. And the palm tree-laced grounds, which span less than a quarter of an acre, feature a secluded and grassy backyard hosting an alfresco dining terrace and a fireside seating area. A detached two-car garage has also been converted into a guest suite.

      French doors open the kitchen to an alfresco dining terrace.

      “Celebrity owned, meticulously restored and upgraded quintessential Spanish Revival…one of my all-time favorites, and one of the most evocative, magical and romantic homes in Hancock Park,” says Di Prizito of the house, which is just minutes away from Larchmont Village and The Grove. “It’s as perfect as a movie set.”

      In addition to her for-sale Hancock Park home, records show Kemp has owned a similar bungalow in a nearby neighborhood since 2018. And last year she took a substantial loss on the sale of an Italian-style villa in nearby Windsor Square that she bought from actress Joanna Garcia Swisher and her retired pro basketball player husband Nick Swisher in 2019 for $8.7 million.
