    Mick Jagger’s Former London Flat Hits the Market for $7 Million

    Rock legend Mick Jagger brings the edge on The Rolling Stones’ 1969 track Live With Me, where he mentions taking “tea at three.” He likely indulged in a cup or two at three in his former sub-penthouse—the unit directly below the actual penthouse—in London’s Marylebone area, where he partied with bandmate Keith Richards and then-girlfriend Marianne Faithfull. Now listed for the first time in 30 years with Prime London and Beauchamp Estates, the $7 million (£5.5 million) home resides in a landmark Edwardian-era mansion. 

    Known as Harley House, the gated apartment house was designed by architects Edward Boehmer and Percey Christian Gibbs and built between 1903 and 1904. Jagger’s former party pad sits on the building’s fourth floor with nearly 2,500 square feet of living space. Two reception rooms sit off its entrance hall, and further in, four bedrooms span the layout.

    Shortly after the Stones was founded in 1962 by Jagger and Richards, alongside instrumentalist Brian Jones, bassist Bill Wyman, and drummer Charlie Watts, the band began to skyrocket to fame. The success of iconic tracks like (I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction and Get Off My Cloud is what allowed Jagger to lease the posh apartment in 1966. He had the place decked out that first summer in a “hippie-bohemian” style. 

    Jagger and Faithfull began dating the same year, and by year’s end, she had “become a regular fixture in the apartment,” the co-listing agents claim in a statement. But if there’s one thing for certain, it’s that the rock star left his mark on the abode before moving in 1968 to Belgravia’s Chelsea Square. 

    During its refurbishment, Jagger had photographer Gered Mankowitz capture portraits of him in a fur coat on the roof and in the drawing room, formerly referenced as the “hippie lounge.” A soaring 10-foot ceiling hovers above a wood-burning fireplace there, next to honey-toned herringbone floorboards that span the home. Richards regularly stopped by, often staying for days at a time after Jagger’s no-doubt epic shindigs that reportedly saw the likes of Princess Margaret as well.

    Jagger did another photoshoot at the property, during which photographer Colin Jones snapped the musician in its entrance hall, where he stood dressed in a vintage military uniform. Today the flat features a sleek, minimalist kitchen; a formal dining room for 10; a study; and a primary suite with large bay windows, a dressing room, and a very modern bathroom that likely bears little resemblance to Jagger’s days.

    Regent’s Park, set adjacent to Harley House, affords homeowners easy access to its calm green spaces; the local underground station makes traversing London a breeze; and, no doubt, when taking a break from performing tracks like Paint it Black or Aftermath, which dropped during his time at Harley House, Jagger and Faithfull visited Harrods and San Lorenzo nearby for lunches.

    ‘Saved by the Bell’ Alum Mark-Paul Gosselaar’s Former L.A. Home Lists for $5.5 Million

    Shortly before the TV show Franklin & Bash, on which he played lawyer Peter Bash, was canceled after four seasons in late 2014, Mark-Paul Gosselaar plunked down $2.3 million for a Los Angeles home in the San Fernando Valley community of Sherman Oaks.

    The veteran actor—probably still best known after all these years for his 1990s role as teen heartthrob Zack Morris on Saved by the Bell—wound up selling the place in early 2022 in an off-market deal for $5.3 million, turning a tidy $3 million profit in the process. Now the French Country-style digs are available again, this time with a $5.5 million price tag. Heather Altman and Casey Gamm of The Altman Brothers Team at Douglas Elliman hold the listing.

    One of just seven properties tucked away at the end of a secluded cul-de-sac offering picturesque views of the San Gabriel Mountains, the two-story stucco and stone structure is fronted by an attached three-car garage. Inside, five bedrooms and five baths are spread across nearly 5,800 square feet of remodeled living space boasting wide-plank European white oak floors, arched doorways, and wrought-iron details, plus an automated smart-home system.

    Double doors open into the split-level entry foyer, which steps up to a coffered-ceiling living room with decorative wallpaper, a fireplace, and French doors spilling out to the backyard. There’s also a formal dining area and an all-white kitchen sporting top-notch Thermador and Sub-Zero appliances, a blue-hued eat-in island for a pop of color, and a window-lined breakfast nook with banquette seating.

    The mountain-view backyard hosts a pool and spa flanked by an alfresco dining terrace.

    Other main-level highlights include a fireside primary suite that has a separate office and a marble-clad bath, as well as a movie theater and a guest bedroom with its own bath. The lower level has three additional en-suite bedrooms, a flexible bonus room, and a mirrored gym, while the manicured grounds span almost half an acre and host a solar-heated pool and spa flanking a pergola-shaded terrace that’s ideal for alfresco entertaining with a full kitchen.

    After his career-spurring turn on Saved by the Bell, the 51-year-old California native went on to appear in several TV shows and films, including NYPD Blue, Franklin & Bash, Pitch, Mixed-ish, Dead Man on Campus, Beer Money, and Sticks and Stones. He reprised his role as Zack Morris in a Saved by the Bell reboot in 2020, and he’s currently starring in the NBC crime drama series Found. An avid thrill-seeker, he’s also a sports car enthusiast, race car driver, track cyclist, dirt biker, Jui Jitsu practitioner, and licensed pilot.

    Courtney Love’s Former Manhattan Loft Is Up for Grabs at $9.5 Million

    When an 1800s corset factory in New York’s Soho neighborhood was converted into a boutique condo in the early aughts, the seven-story building attracted a slew of famous folks.

    Among those who scrambled to pick up one of 30 Crosby Street’s 13 units was Lenny Kravitz, who doled out $8 million for a duplex penthouse that he once rented to Nicole Kidman before selling to Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz for $12.4 million. Courtney Love also shelled out $2.6 million in 2001 for a fourth-floor loft, which the lead singer and guitarist of Hole and widow of Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain offloaded in 2006 for $5 million after riling up neighbors with her famously precarious behavior. Now, almost 20 years later, that residence has popped back up for sale, this time with a $9.5 million asking price.

    A bookshelf-lined library sits in the center of the loft.

    Last sold in 2012 for a speck over $7 million to Stefan Sonnenfeld and Missy Papageorge, co-founders of the post-production house Company 3 that’s worked on everything from The White Lotus to Beyonce music videos, the seven-room flat has three bedrooms and four baths in roughly 4,100 square feet. The rustic-chic interiors are adorned throughout with hardwood floors, exposed-brick walls, high beamed ceilings supported by the original wood columns, and large industrial-style windows for plenty of natural light.

    A private elevator opens into a small foyer, which flows to an open-concept great room holding a kitchen outfitted with an eat-in island that seats four and top-tier appliances, including two Sub-Zero refrigerators, a double oven, a vented cooktop, and a wine cooler. An adjacent living and dining area comes with a black floating-hearth fireplace, as well as a hanging swing, mirror ball, and punching bag.

    One of the bedrooms has been transformed into a den with a pair of thrones.

    Sequestered off by themselves are the sleeping quarters, which include two bedrooms with western exposures and a shared bath, as well as a primary suite boasting a dressing room that leads to a spa-like bath equipped with dual vanities, a soaking tub, and a separate shower. There’s also a library sporting built-in bookshelves, plus an office nook and a lounge area that doubles as a gallery.

    Rounding out the listing, which is held by Holly Sose, Tim Cass, Katie Johnson, and Sabine Modeste of The Corcoran Group, is a $6,322 per month common charge that entitles the owner to a 24-hour doorman, concierge services, a lobby with an aromatherapy system, climate-controlled wine storage, and a fireside tasting/dining room.

    Supermodel Linda Evangelista’s Posh Manhattan Penthouse Lists for $8.2 Million

    Linda Evangelista is officially strutting away from her New York City penthouse. The iconic Canadian supermodel—famously known for her ultra-short hairstyle nicknamed “The Linda” and the phrase, “We don’t wake up for less than $10,000 a day”—has hoisted her elegant pied-à-terre in Manhattan’s West Chelsea neighborhood up for sale at a speck under $8.2 million. Steve Gold of The Corcoran Group holds the listing.

    She previously put the property on the market in May 2024 for $9.5 million. That’s around $1.3 million more than its current asking price, which comes out to $2,051 per square foot—a “value buy at this point,” Gold told the New York Post, adding that he’s sold nearby condos for $5,000 a square foot.

    The sky-lit great room’s living and dining areas connect to a seated bar and an office nook.

    Perched atop the 1880s Spears Building, a six-story converted furniture showroom nestled between the High Line and Hudson River, the posh digs offer four bedrooms and two baths spread across roughly 4,000 square feet of largely original yet modernized interiors outfitted with exposed brick, polished concrete floors, and high ceilings dotted with skylights. There’s also an in-unit washer and dryer, plus a 2,500-square-foot rooftop terrace that’s ideal for alfresco lounging and entertaining.

    Other highlights include an elevator that opens into a lengthy entrance gallery lined with artwork. From there, the spacious great room boasts a wood-burning fireplace and large windows overlooking three exposures. A dining area is flanked by a seated bar and a small office, while the galley kitchen is equipped with butcher block countertops, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, and a windowed breakfast nook.

    The Manhattan residence is crowned by a private rooftop oasis spanning 2,500 square feet.

    Secluded off by itself is a corner primary suite, which hosts a model-ready dressing room featuring not one but six floor-to-ceiling custom closets, as well as a spa-inspired bath with a soaking tub and a glassy shower. Three additional bedrooms can be used for guests, offices, or creative spaces.

    The new owner will also be privy to plenty of amenities via a $5,669 monthly common charge, including a 24-hour doorman, a concierge, storage units, and a common rooftop deck. The pet-friendly building also contains several art galleries.

    Known for her work as one of the original supermodels of the ’80s and ’90s alongside the likes of Christy Turlington, Naomi Campbell, Claudia Schiffer, and Cindy Crawford, Ontario-born Evangelista, 59, appeared in multimillion-dollar campaigns for Revlon and Versace. She was also named one of People magazine’s “50 Most Beautiful People” during her heyday.

    Have Mercy! John Stamos’s Former SoCal Estate Just Hit the Market for $13 Million

    Back in the early 1990s, soon after he gained widespread acclaim for his role as Uncle Jesse on the sitcom Full House, John Stamos doled out $430,000 for a vacant six-acre plot of land in the Los Angeles suburb of Calabasas and enlisted architect Les Makowski to design a custom home for him. Now the Mediterranean-style digs high above Malibu Canyon have popped up for sale, asking a speck under $13 million. Alessandro Corona of Compass holds the listing.

    Famously owned by the actor and musician for almost a decade until 2001, when the place traded hands for around $2.2 million, records show the property was last sold to politician Justin Aguilera and his beauty entrepreneur wife Candace in 2020 for nearly $3 million. Since extensively remodeled by the couple, the white stucco and red terracotta-roof structure offers six bedrooms and an equal number of baths filtered across a little more than 8,100 square feet of glitzy living space on two levels laced throughout with black-and-white veined marble and gold accents.

    A two-way fireplace and massive chandelier add a touch of flair to the glass-walled living room.

    A grand set of steps leads up to the portico entrance, which opens into a column-studded foyer displaying dual staircases and a mezzanine balcony overlooking an elegant living room sporting a gigantic crystal chandelier and striking two-way fireplace set next to a soaring wall of glass. Other highlights include a media room, plus a wood-paneled entertainment area decked out with a full seated bar. A former recording studio has been transformed into an office.

    A formal dining room that can seat at least 10 connects to the spacious kitchen, which comes with custom glass-knobbed cabinetry, a center island, top-tier stainless appliances, and an accompanying breakfast nook lined with windows. Secluded upstairs is the voluminous primary suite, which rests beneath a vaulted wood-beam ceiling and features a private balcony with mountain views, a mini bar, a fireside lounge, a huge glam room, and a luxe bath equipped with an indulgent spa tub.

    Outdoors, the manicured grounds host a grotto-style pool with a waterfall and a spa, as well as several travertine-clad terraces ideal for alfresco lounging and entertaining with amenities like a fireplace and barbecue station. Adding extra panache is a detached one-bedroom, one-bath guest suite with its own entrance, along with a lengthy gated driveway that spills out at an attached three-car garage and an expansive motor court that can accommodate up to 30 vehicles. Did we mention there’s also enough room to land a helicopter?

    The 61-year-old California native began his acting career as heartthrob Blackie Parrish on the daytime soap opera General Hospital in the ’80s and went on to land the iconic role of Jesse Katsopolis on the popular sitcom Full House. He later reprised the role in the Netflix spinoff Fuller House, for which he served as an executive producer. An accomplished musician, he’s also appeared on Broadway and occasionally performs with the Beach Boys.

    Raquel Welch’s Longtime L.A. Home Just Sold for $3.1 Million

    A little more than two years after she passed away in early 2023 at age 82, a Los Angeles home long owned by Raquel Welch—the legendary actress and enduring sex symbol probably best remembered for her 1960s roles as a shrunken scientist in Fantastic Voyage and bikini-clad cavewoman in One Billion Years B.C.—has officially traded hands for $3.1 million.

    First offered a year ago for around $4 million and subsequently reduced to $3.7 million, the Mediterranean-style villa in the exclusive Beverly Glen Circle neighborhood of Bel Air sold to British film producer, writer, and director Justin Hyne for just $600,000 more than the $2.5 million Welch doled out for the place in 2009. Ernie Carswell and Lloyd Ross of Douglas Elliman and Brett Lawyer of Carolwood Estates shared the listing, with Ariel Belkin of The One Luxury Properties repping the buyer.

    The fireside living room has a stone fireplace and French doors opening out to the backyard.

    Built in the late ’90s, the blush-hued stucco and terracotta-roof structure rests high atop a hedged and gated parcel of land spanning less than a quarter of an acre. Inside, roughly 5,100 square feet of multi-level, cream-hued living space includes a column-lined entrance gallery that flows to a glass-walled living room sporting a stone fireplace and French doors spilling out to a pergola-shaded terrace and sundeck-encased pool and spa beyond.

    Other highlights include a formal dining area and an office with a kitchenette. A family room connects to the kitchen, which is outfitted with wood cabinetry, an eat-in island, and a cozy breakfast banquette. Upstairs, four en-suite bedrooms include a spacious primary retreat boasting a fireside seating area, two walk-in closets, and a luxe bath with dual vanities and a built-in spa tub. Rounding it all out: a top-floor bonus space, plus an oversized garage hosting a bath-equipped room with its own entrance that could easily serve as a gym or guest site.

    The hedge-lined backyard hosts a freeform pool and spillover spa surrounded by a sundeck.

    Long before Bo Derek ran down the beach in her Fulani braids and Farrah Fawcett posed in that iconic red swimsuit, there was Welch in her infamous doeskin bikini as seen in One Billion Years B.C. Though she was named by Playboy as one of its “100 sexiest female stars of the 20th century,” coming in third behind Marilyn Monroe and Jayne Mansfield, the Golden Globe-winning actress (The Three Musketeers) refused to strip down for movies or magazine shoots.

    “I am my father’s daughter and that’s just not the way you behave,” she told Piers Morgan on his Life Stories show in 2015. “You don’t do that if you are a certain kind of a woman and that’s the kind of woman I was raised to be.”

    Bill Gates’s Former Waterfront Mansion in Florida Can Be Yours for $23.5 Million

    If you’ve ever wondered what kind of waterfront retreat a tech titan might choose for a coastal escape, well, wonder no more. A sprawling estate on Florida’s ultra-exclusive Jupiter Island once owned by billionaire Bill Gates has just hit the market for a cool $23.5 million. And yes, it’s every bit the tech-savvy sanctuary you’d imagine.

    The property was originally scooped up in 2009 by the Microsoft co-founder’s investment entity, Front Range Investment Holdings, for $5 million, according to public records. Nearly a decade later, in 2018, the estate changed hands again, this time selling for just $4 million, a $1 million loss, to digital media and sports executive John Textor. Fast forward seven years, and the asking price has skyrocketed to $23.5 million, an eye-watering $19.5 million jump that reflects not just the estate’s upgrades but also Jupiter Island’s top-end real estate market. For context, the least expensive home currently for sale on the island demands a lofty $3.75 million.

    As mentioned, the palatial spread has undergone a serious glow-up. Now, it’s one of only 10 properties on Jupiter Island with an asking price north of $20 million—a fitting status for a home with 200 feet of pristine water frontage and no neighbors on three sides. “With its expansive grounds, impeccable design, and unparalleled amenities, it is truly a rare gem in one of the most coveted locations along the Intracoastal,” notes the listing, which is held by Susan Hemmes with ONE Sotheby’s International Realty.  

    Set on nearly an acre, the 9,500-square-foot single-story mansion isn’t shy about showing off. The open floor plan flows with soaring high ceilings, polished marble floors, and detailed crown moldings. Those who don’t care to take a dip in the Intracoastal will swoon over the heated indoor pool and spa, flanked by a vast patio and outdoor kitchen for those breezy, barefoot dinners under the stars.

    And then there’s the kitchen, decked out with Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances, a double Thermador oven, dual dishwashers, and glossy quartz countertops. When it comes to the primary suite, think spa-meets-speakeasy. Dual bathrooms, custom closets, and a private bar with its own ice machine make it a nightly destination in its own right. 

    From a boat lift that handles up to 30,000 pounds to solar-lit slips, an eight-car garage, an EV charger, and even a mosquito control system, Gates’s former estate anticipates your every need. Add in a Lutron lighting system, whole-home speakers, and eight climate zones, and you’ve got a home that’s as smart as it is stunning.
