    Hockey Legend Chris Chelios Lists His Seaside Malibu Home for $60 Million

    A sprawling seaside compound owned by former longtime NHL defenseman Chris Chelios has popped up for sale again in Malibu. Nestled on a picturesque blufftop parcel directly overlooking Paradise Cove beach, and offering around 90 feet of ocean frontage, the almost half-acre spread is asking a speck under $60 million, after first hitting the market for $75 million in early 2023. Carl Gambino and John Bercsi of the Gambino Group at Compass share the listing.

    Records show the three-time Stanley Cup champ and his wife Tracee paid $6 million back in summer 2003 for the vacation getaway, which comprises a nearly 3,800-square-foot main house boasting four bedrooms and five baths, plus a beachside guesthouse—all providing sweeping coastline and ocean views via walls of glass and expansive decks.

    The fireside living room has collapsible glass doors flowing out to an ocean-view deck.

    Built in the early 1980s and since updated, the property is hidden away at the end of a secluded cul-de-sac and a lengthy gated driveway. An entry foyer flows into the three-story primary dwelling, which is highlighted by a fireside living room that opens to an alfresco lounging and entertaining deck, plus a kitchen sporting an eat-in island and a breakfast nook.

    A loft-style bedroom can be found upstairs, while three additional bedrooms include a primary suite equipped with a fireplace, a sitting area, a private balcony, and a walk-in closet, as well as a bath outfitted with dual vanities, a soaking tub, and a glassy shower. There’s also a media/game room.

    The primary bedroom has its own balcony.

    Stairs descend to the aforementioned guesthouse, which comes with a bedroom, a living area, and a kitchen. A couple of decks include one on the roof and another hosting a hot tub and a barrel sauna.

    After a 27-year career spent playing for the Chicago Blackhawks, Montreal Canadiens, Detroit Red Wings, and Atlanta Thrashers, Chelios retired in 2010 and was subsequently inducted into the NHL Hall of Fame. The Chicago native, who currently serves as a TV hockey analyst, has said he and his wife are selling because they are now grandparents and want a vacation spot that is closer to their children.

    Australian Designer Jamie Durie Lists His Biophilic Off-Grid Home Near Sydney for $21.5 Million

    To most Australians, Jamie Durie is a household name—one of the country’s most celebrated designers and a TV host who turned backyard makeovers into a national obsession. But for the past five years, Durie, a Chelsea Flower Show Gold Medalist, has been working on a project that’s even bigger than television—a biophilic home that fully embodies his personal vision of sustainable luxury.

    Perched on a steep, dramatic slope at Stokes Point, just outside Sydney, Belah House is a five-story waterfront residence unlike anything else in the country. Designed by Silvester Fuller Architects in collaboration with Jamie Durie Design, the home, completed in 2025, is an audacious experiment in eco-conscious living. Solar panels, geothermal heating, hydronic floors, and enough water storage to operate fully off-grid make it as self-sufficient as it is stunning.

    The home cleaves to a 37-degree slope surrounded by forest.

    With its numerous terraces and hanging gardens, the house flows organically down the slope to the scenic Pittwater waterway, creating a perfect harmony with the surrounding mature trees and natural shrubbery. Vertical gardens climb the curving facade while even more greenery spills into the double-height living room. A roughly 1,700-square-foot rooftop lawn, infinity pool, and private jetty provide endless space to relax and take in the water views.

    “It’s the toughest project I’ve ever taken on,” Durie says. “However, it’s the culmination of everything I’ve learned in 30 years in the design industry. It’s a legacy project.” Inside, luxury meets practicality: a wellness retreat with gym, sauna, steam room, and ice bath; a chef’s kitchen with barista bar and butler’s pantry; a wine cellar, cinema, and terraces that seamlessly connect indoors and out. Every detail—from recycled ocean-plastic carpets to low-carbon concrete—was chosen with sustainability in mind.

    “On a sunny day, the house can go completely off-grid,” he adds. “Anyone interested in longevity, well-being, luxury, and sustainability, then this is the house for them.”

    Vertical gardens wrap the exteriors.

    Belah House is now on the market for a whopping $33 million (about $21.5 million). “The appeal for something of this nature is there really are very few properties of this scale that are ever going to come to market,” says James Baker, a real estate agent at McGrath, Knight Frank’s partners in Australia. “It is a massive task to take on, as Jamie would know, to go through council, build the property, and do all the things you need to do to finish a home like this. There are very few properties in this area that are actually suitable for multi-millionaires or billionaires—people who just want the finished product, ready to go, that also have some conscience surrounding the environment as well. The architecture and construction are incredible, but it also feels like a real home with charm and character. And Jamie’s touch in terms of the landscaping is next level.”

    Photographer Douglas Friedman Is Selling His 10-Acre Texas Estate for $3 Million

    Douglas Friedman has refined taste. Born and raised in New York City, the renowned photographer has captured the interiors of some of the most luxurious homes across America, including superstar Cher’s Malibu mansion. With over two decades of experience under his belt—plus friends like Tommy Hilfiger and Martha Stewart—he has developed an incredible eye for aesthetics, which is evident in his custom Texas home.

    Friedman built the modern residence in the tiny West Texas hamlet of Marfa in 2016. He was drawn to the idea of living out on the land, swapping the busy streets and towering skyscrapers of N.Y.C. for 10 acres with views of Haystack Mountain and the Davis Mountains. “I have to take two flights and then drive three hours to get there, but the journey culminates at the end of a dirt road, with no visible neighbors and endless views of this incredibly beautiful, soulful terrain,” he told Architectural Digest in 2020.

    Nine years on, Friedman is ready to move on. The photographer listed his one-of-a-kind property for the first time in February, with an asking price of $3.7 million. Now, the pad is back on the market for $2.99 million, marking a significant price cut. Jeff Burke of Douglas Elliman holds the listing.

    At once elegant and modern, the home showcases a mix of timber, steel, and glass. Two-foot clerestory windows wrapping around the perimeter give the roof a floating effect, while expansive glass walls invite light in and offer views out. Three bedrooms and two bathrooms are featured across 2,304 square feet of stylish interiors that reflect Friedman’s impeccable taste.

    At the center lies a cozy living room with black hide Pierre Jeannerett armchairs, brown leather pillows, and a wooden bookshelf. The nearby kitchen is outfitted with a steel system by Danish company Vipp, Gaggenau appliances, and a Liebherr refrigerator, while the dining room is equipped with a large table for six or more and sliding doors that open to a covered wraparound patio.

    Owners get panoramic vistas of the Davis and Haystack mountains from the lap pool.

    The primary bedroom sits further in, with an adjoining en suite that features gleaming brass fittings and eye-catching patterned tiles. Exotic floral wallpapers make a statement in the other two bedrooms, which both open to the patio.

    The grounds showcase a shipping-container lap pool with a spa, a fire pit, a screened palapa, and a Donald Judd-inspired pavilion. (The American artist moved from New York to Marfa in 1971, after which he turned the town into a mecca of minimalism by transforming buildings and creating installations.) Among the native grasses and desert plants lie a collection of Kohler solar panels and a deep private well, enabling the kind of off-grid living Friedman was seeking all those years ago.

    Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne’s L.A. Condo Can Be Yours for $2.4 Million

    Almost four months after Ozzy Osbourne passed away in his homeland of England at age 76, a Los Angeles condo owned by the beloved heavy-metal singer has popped up for sale, asking just under $2.4 million.

    The legendary Black Sabbath frontman and his wife Sharon, a former talk show host, acquired the residence in spring 2022 for $2.25 million and began renting it out for as much as $10,500 a month in late 2023. The reality TV stars also owned an adjacent two-bedroom, three-bath condo they purchased in spring 2014; it was primarily occupied by their daughter, Kelly, before it sold last year for $4.35 million.

    The north-facing unit lies on the 10th floor of West Hollywood’s celeb-studded Sierra Towers skyscraper, an exclusive Jack A. Charney-designed structure that has housed A-listers the likes of Cher, Sandra Bullock, Matthew Perry, Adam Sandler, and Courteney Cox.

    A sleek galley kitchen comes with high-end Miele, Liebherr, and Wolf appliances.

    Per the listing, held by Jonah Wilson, Josh Greer, and Rudy Serrato of Carolwood Estates, the space features one bedroom and one-and-a-half baths in roughly 1,200 square feet adorned throughout with glossy marble floors and recessed lighting. Floor-to-ceiling windows also provide picturesque views of the Hollywood Hills.

    A large vestibule flows into an open-plan great room holding a combined living/dining area displaying a grand piano, a TV mounted on a blonde wood-paneled wall, and sliding glass doors spilling out to a 40-foot terrace. An adjacent galley kitchen is outfitted with sleek cabinetry, white quartz countertops, a breakfast peninsula that seats two, and Miele, Liebherr, and Wolf appliances, while the primary bedroom boasts a built-in workstation, a private balcony, a walk-in closet, and a bath equipped with dual vanities.

    Topping it all off are plenty of building amenities courtesy of a $2,621-per-month HOA charge, including an attended lobby, valet parking, and 24-hour security and concierge, plus a pool and spa, a fitness center, and conference facilities.

    In addition to the for-sale Sierra Towers condo, the family still owns a Hancock Park estate that property records indicate was bought from a trust linked to actor Matthew Perry in 2015 for $11.9 million; it was listed for $18 million in 2022, but has since been removed from the market. The couple relocated to Welders House, their longtime country estate in England, just weeks before the musician’s death in July.

    A Filmmaker’s Creative Retreat in the Sierra Nevada Foothills Lists for $2.5 Million

    Back in 2001, after living in cities his entire life and intent on having a connection with nature, Mike Mills doled out $131,000 for a remote 60-acre plot of land near Nevada City, California, in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. The L.A.-based filmmaker, graphic designer, and artist, whose movies include 20th Century Women (2016) and C’mon C’mon (2021), then enlisted the avant-garde firm Atelier Bow-Wow to craft a home in the middle of it all where he could write, make art, and bring people together. Completed in 2008, it is the Tokyo-based architecture studio’s first and only residential project in the U.S.

    “My goals of this whole thing was to have a retreat and to have a connection with nature,” Mills said in a YouTube video. “I’ve always lived in cities, and I knew I wanted to do something more than that in my life. So, that was the whole idea of trying to get 60 acres, trying to get a property where you felt wildness. Often in the morning, you see a deer, wild turkeys, or a fox. I wanted to walk in the woods and understand nature better. That was my big passion.”

    The kitchen comes with open shelving and high-end stainless appliances.

    Fast-forward almost 25 years, and the “aesthetically appetizing and surprising” abode dubbed the Mountain House has now popped up for sale at nearly $2.5 million, after first hitting the market in 2023 for $3.3 million. Eric Lavey of The Beverly Hills Estates holds the listing.

    Bordered on three sides by U.S. Forest Service land, the timber-framed and slanted-roof structure has three bedrooms and two baths in roughly 2,200 square feet. Organic and minimalist details abound in the form of seamless concrete floors and walls made from recycled paper-based Homasote boards, while cozy nooks can be found in almost every corner, and oversized wood-framed glass doors slide open to the outdoors.

    An expansive shaded roof room is ideal for entertaining with hammocks and a dining table.

    Other highlights include a living room sporting a wood-burning stove, a dining area that connects to a kitchen outfitted with open shelving and stainless appliances, and a bath equipped with a porcelain tub. Up top is an expansive open-air deck with hammocks, a dining area, and an exposed-beam roof that serves as an umbrella protecting the home from the elements.

    An added bonus: The grounds, which occupy the site of a 19th-century gold mine known as Sailor Flat, are laced with wagon roads, trails, and seasonal streams.

    ‘Wednesday’ Star Riki Lindhome’s Midcentury L.A. Home Lists for $2.8 Million

    Riki Lindhome reconnected with her longtime friend Fred Armisen around four years ago when they were both starring in the Netflix show Wednesday as a therapist and Uncle Fester, respectively. Romance soon sparked for the fellow actors and comedians—she best known as one-half of the satirical music duo Garfunkel and Oates, and he an SNL alum and a co-creator of Portlandia—and they wound up tying the knot at a small courthouse ceremony in June 2022. Lindhome, who had been planning on becoming a single mom, welcomed her son, Keaton, via a surrogate three months before the wedding.

    Though Lindhome and Armisen ultimately settled in a French Normandy-style spread in the Los Feliz neighborhood of Los Angeles that they bought from producer Lauren Lexton in 2022 for $4.3 million, she’s hung on to an alluring midcentury-modern abode in Culver City that she picked up in 2019 for $2.3 million. Now, after renting the post-and-beam pad for a few years, she’s decided to part ways with it for a dash under $2.8 million. Debbie Weiss of Compass holds the listing.

    “This extraordinary home spoke to me immediately,” said Lindhome in a press statement. “I felt like it was a time capsule in the heart of Los Angeles, and just so special. The moment I walked through the door I felt an instant connection, a pull that told me that this was the one…it was really love at first sight. This home became my sanctuary. As I prepare to pass it on to its next caretaker, I hope they’ll feel the same spark I did!”

    Sited off a private street and gated driveway, on a hilltop parcel spanning a third of an acre with picturesque views stretching from downtown L.A. to the Hollywood Hills, the dark wood-sided structure was built more than six decades ago, in the early 1960s. Thoughtfully preserved and modernized, it features four bedrooms and three baths in roughly 2,300 square feet of single-level, L-shaped living space filled with wall-to-wall wood, original built-ins, and exposed-beamed ceilings dotted with skylights.

    The private and decked backyard is spotlighted by a revamped saltwater pool.

    Standing out is a soaring vaulted living room wrapped with expansive walls of glass. A combined family room and dining area is anchored by a wood-burning brick fireplace, while the kitchen has a breakfast table extending from a center island and a pass-through window connecting to an outdoor bar alongside a renovated saltwater pool and a fire pit. Back inside, an en suite primary is joined by two side-by-side bedrooms, plus a guest bedroom set up as an office.

    An added bonus: The property is also just minutes away from Blair Hills Park, the Kenneth Hahn State Recreation Area, Stoneview Nature Center, Baldwin Hills Scenic Overlook, and Park to Playa Trail.

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

    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.
