      Clippers Star Bradley Beal’s Former Two-Acre Estate Lists for $11 Million in Maryland

      by

      NBA star Bradley Beal put his former Bethesda, Maryland, home up for sale at $10 million in the fall of 2023, and it sold later in the year for $9.18 million. Fans of the former Washington Wizards player, however, are getting another shot at staking claim to the trophy estate. Back on the market for $11 million with Robert Hryniewicki and Christopher Leary of TTR Sotheby’s International Realty, the property includes an outdoor swimming pool and indoor basketball court.

      The two-acre spread is anchored by a four-story mansion built in 2016 by GTM Architects and Winmar Construction. Beal, a St. Louis, Missouri native, bought the French Provincial-inspired abode in 2019 and lived there during the latter part of his 11-season career with the Wizards before being traded to the Phoenix Suns in June 2023. During his stay, he made several significant updates, most notably gutting the pre-existing indoor court to install hardwood flooring and three regulation-height backboards, all of which is accented by the Wizards’ color scheme.

      A four-car garage caps the driveway at the front of the renovated mansion.

      Montgomery County property tax records show that D.C. businessman Dean Seavers and his wife, Tara Seavers, bought the home two years ago. They’ve since spent $1 million on renovations. The six-bedroom residence, currently Bethesda’s third most expensive listing, measures in with 13,700 square feet of livable interiors across four levels. And true to its previous owner, the gargantuan house best suits entertainers and those with a hoop dream.

      Past the wrought-iron front doors and a small vestibule, the foyer’s chocolate brown walls are warmly welcoming. To one side, a dual-sided fireplace separates the formal living room and the study, while decorative wallpaper and hardwood flooring pop in the formal dining room across the hall. Further in, 12-foot ceilings span the family room set between a swanky bar and the kitchen.

      A marble backsplash and large island highlight the airy kitchen layout.

      You can step out onto a covered terrace from the family room and the breakfast room for a bit of fresh air. Meanwhile, a wet bar with dual wine fridges stands tucked away on the main level. An elevator and staircase connect each level of the home. Five bedrooms are dispersed across the upper level, including the sprawling primary suite. Along with two walk-in closets and a private balcony featuring a pergola, the suite includes a spacious bath where the glass-enclosed steam shower and soaking tub make a bold statement in the center of the room.

      Beal had hardwood flooring installed in the indoor gym featuring the Washington Wizards’s colors.

      Down on the lower level, a sixth bedroom neighbors the recreation and exercise rooms, plus another wet bar. Stairs lead further down to the indoor basketball court. Other highlights include a four-car garage at the front of the house, while the rear houses the swimming pool, a pool pavilion, a lighted sports court, and a built-in fire pit on a stone terrace among lush plantings.

      Michael Feinstein’s Revamped 1930s Home Above L.A.’s Sunset Strip Can Be Yours for $4 Million

      by

      It’s been an astonishingly successful journey for Michael Feinstein since he moved from Ohio to Los Angeles in the 1970s at just 20 years old and was introduced to Ira Gershwin, becoming the late and legendary lyricist’s assistant for the next six years and ultimately evolving into a renowned singer, composer, and arranger of his own original music.

      Not only have the musician’s recordings earned him five Grammy nominations, but he’s also received Emmy nods for his PBS-TV specials, helmed an NPR series, and headlined concerts across the globe. He’s even made appearances at the White House, Buckingham Palace, the Hollywood Bowl, Carnegie Hall, and the Sydney Opera House.

      One of his grandest achievements has been the launch of the Great American Songbook Foundation, which celebrates and preserves the legacy of iconic performers from Ella Fitzgerald to Sammy Davis Jr. and many more via documents, images, and historic artifacts. His work is housed at Indiana’s Allied Solutions Center for the Performing Arts, where he serves as artistic director.

      Word on the street has it that he and his husband Terrence Flannery are now seeking bigger digs in Beverly Hills that can better accommodate their prolific entertaining needs. So, it’s really no surprise that the couple has decided to let go of the more modest-sized L.A. home they picked up in September 2024 for $2.7 million, listing the updated spread high above West Hollywood and the Sunset Strip with Idan Gould of Douglas Elliman for a speck under $4 million.

      Nestled on a corner parcel spanning less than a quarter of an acre, the white stucco and terracotta-roof structure was originally built in 1936. Extensively upgraded and customized during Feinstein and Flannery’s tenure, the modern-minded Spanish Revival abode features four bedrooms and an equal number of baths in roughly 3,600 square feet across two levels accented throughout with rich hardwood floors, high ceilings, and picture windows.

      Highlights include a spacious sunken living room boasting a decorative fireplace and a formal dining room flanked by a wet bar-equipped lounge, plus a sleek kitchen furnished with custom cabinetry, marble countertops, and top-tier appliances. Up a curving staircase in the double-height foyer is a posh primary suite sporting a floor-to-ceiling fireplace, as well as dual walk-in closets and baths.

      Several backyard vignettes are ideal for alfresco lounging and entertaining.

      A media room, a fitness space, and a laundry center with double washers and dryers can be found elsewhere, while the picturesque grounds host a built-in barbecue surrounded by numerous alfresco lounging and entertaining areas overlooking sweeping city views. There’s also an attached two-car garage.

      Per the New York Post, which first reported the listing, the couple still maintain a primary dwelling in Pasadena that’s been featured in film and TV programs such as Glee, along with a New York pied-à-terre on Central Park South, a home in the affluent Indiana city of Carmel, and a 50-acre avocado ranch in the seaside California town of Carpenteria.

      An Emmy-Winning Costume Designer’s London Duplex Lists for $3.2 Million

      by

      When Michael Wilkinson and Tim Martin first stepped inside their duplex apartment in London‘s Earl’s Court in 2017, it wasn’t the bedrooms or even the private garden that sealed the deal. It was the murals. Hidden inside a grand reception room were hand-painted palazzo scenes framed by intricate wall paneling, a theatrical backdrop that spoke to the style-savvy couple, who had just relocated from Los Angeles.

      They were especially drawn to the scale of the entertaining spaces but also to the untapped potential of the lower floor and the deep private garden. Over the next several years, Martin, an architect turned ceramicist, reconfigured the layout to create a more seamless connection between indoor and outdoor spaces, while the garden itself was lowered to align with the bedrooms, then planted with palms, camellias, and bay trees around a symmetrical water feature, transforming it into a lush, private oasis in the middle of central London.

      The duplex marries period character with modern craftsmanship.

      Keystone Photos Ltd

      The two-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bathroom property spans a cozy 1,530 square feet and blends period character with modern craftsmanship. The dramatic reception room remains the centerpiece, while a bespoke kitchen and dining room complete the main level. Downstairs, both bedrooms open onto a winter garden, with the primary suite featuring a polished en suite bath and generous storage.

      Inside, Martin and Wilkinson infused the home with personal touches that speak to their creative partnership. Warm colors and architectural paneling harmonize the two floors, while ceramics by Martin and textiles repurposed from Wilkinson’s film projects—including fabric from Aladdin—layer the home with stories.

      Martin reimagined the lower floor to create a seamless connection to the garden.

      The couple, both originally from Australia, have spent their careers crisscrossing the globe. Martin worked for three decades as an architect in Sydney, New York, and Los Angeles—including a role as senior designer at the American Museum of Natural History in New York—before shifting into ceramics. He now works from a studio at Cockpit Arts in Bloomsbury and has exhibited across Europe, the UK, and Australia.

      Wilkinson, meanwhile, has built an international reputation in film and television. A graduate of Sydney’s National Institute of Dramatic Art, he has designed costumes for more than 40 productions, from Justice League to Baz Luhrmann’s Moulin Rouge!. He received an Academy Award nomination in 2013 for American Hustle and, more recently, won an Emmy for his work on the Star Wars series Andor. Known for his meticulous research and ability to build entire worlds through fabric and silhouette, Wilkinson is considered one of the industry’s most sought-after costume designers.

      Now listed with Savills for £2,395,000 (about $3.2 million), the couple’s Earl’s Court apartment offers both scale and sanctuary—qualities not easily found in central London. With work continuing to take them abroad, Wilkinson and Martin plan to remain in London but are reportedly looking toward Hampstead for their next chapter.

      Cloris Leachman’s Former L.A. Estate Hits the Market for $20 Million

      by

      Almost four years after Cloris Leachman passed away at age 94, the Hollywood legend’s totally reimagined onetime estate in the lower Mandeville Canyon area of Brentwood has surfaced for sale, asking a smidge under $20 million.

      The veteran TV and film actress—probably best known during her seven-plus-decade career for her Oscar-winning turn as neglected housewife Ruth Popper in The Last Picture Show, as well as her roles in The Mary Tyler Moore Show, Phyllis, and Malcolm in the Middle—reportedly owned the property from 1971 to 2000. Her former home has since been razed and replaced with the modern mansion now on the market for the first time in over two decades. Sally Forster Jones and Kathryn Perkins of Compass share the listing.

      The formal dining room has been painted in a warm buttery yellow hue.

      Designed by architect Lise Claiborne Matthews and completed in 2003, the residence offers a total of six bedrooms and seven baths in roughly 10,600 square feet across three levels. Elegant yet warm interiors boast hardwood floors, high ceilings, custom millwork, curved glass windows, and French doors throughout. All the furnishings are also available for purchase.

      Tucked away behind a lengthy tree-lined driveway and gates, amid a two-parcel spread spanning nearly an acre, the structure stuns from the outset with its dark wood-shingled, white-trimmed, and stone-accented facade. Beyond the manicured lawn framed by hydrangeas, wisteria, and mature trees, steps lead up to a front door that opens into a double-height entry foyer flanked by formal living and dining rooms.

      The movie theater has rows of plush seating.

      Andrew Bramasco

      At the rear of the house, a sunken fireside family room opens seamlessly to a foliage-laced backyard featuring a 50-foot saltwater pool and spillover spa, a meditation area, and a koi pond. Back inside, a casual dining area connects to a sleek kitchen outfitted with a butcher block-topped island, a trio of sinks, and top-tier Viking, Sub-Zero, and Miele appliances. A sunroom overlooks the surrounding gardens, with the rest of the main level containing a study, a guest suite, and a bedroom.

      Four additional bedrooms upstairs include a posh primary suite flaunting a private balcony, a separate sitting room, two walk-in closets, a dressing area, and a luxe bath sporting a soaking tub and an oversized steam shower. The lower level, meanwhile, is primed for entertainment and wellness with a kitchenette-equipped lounge, a billiards room, a sauna, a movie theater, a wine cellar, and a soundproof playroom.

      Rounding it all off is a detached three-car garage flanked by a spacious motor court that can accommodate parking for at least a dozen vehicles. Per the listing, there’s also a large, fully functional gym or potential accessory dwelling unit, plus plenty of room on the grounds for a future play area or a sports court.

      This $19.4 Million Miami Beach Condo Was Designed With Eye-Catching Artistic Flair

      by

      “One of a kind” is a term that gets bandied about a lot, but the late Broadway producer Luigi Caiola’s condo in Miami Beach truly lives up to the too-often hyperbolic term.

      Records show Caiola and his partner Sean McGill acquired two high-floor units in one of the towers at the Continuum South Beach, the first in 2009 for $1.85 million and a neighboring unit for $3.6 million in 2018. Designer Joe Nahem of the esteemed firm Fox-Nahem was then brought in to merge the two spaces into one wildly creative space that vibrates with color, pattern, and texture. 

      A real estate developer and New York property magnate, Caiola co-founded Caiola Productions with his sister Rose, and together they developed more than 50 Broadway productions, earning eight Tony Awards for works including Dear Evan Hansen, The Color Purple, Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf, and The Inheritance. Now, nearly two years after he died, the late producer’s singular, ocean-view aerie in South Florida has been put on the market for $19.39 million. Bill Hernandez and Bryan Sereny at Douglas Elliman hold the listing.

      Structural columns are wrapped in chrome or embellished with mosaic tiles.

      LuxHunters Productions

      Known for his attention to detail and curatorial prowess, Nahem enlisted an army of artists and craftspeople to infuse every corner of the 3,700-square-foot space with creative flair. The visual spectacle begins at the entrance, where Studio Hoon Kim designed a molded resin tunnel splashed with camouflage-like splotches of color that connects the foyer and the 50-foot-long living/dining room. Tactile fabrics and organic shapes and materials effectively ground the vast living and dining room, which feels like it’s floating on the Atlantic Ocean thanks to vast expanses of floor-to-ceiling windows.

      In the dining area, hand-carved wooden panels by Tennessee-based artisan Caleb Woodard depict abstract botanical forms that slither up onto the ceiling, and the trapezoidal kitchen sits on the interior of the apartment without any windows, so operable vertical louvers were installed to either conceal or expose the playfully outré kitchen, with its sea-anemone-inspired chandelier by Pia Maria Raeder and wooden cabinets embellished with huge pastel-colored aluminum pulls. 

      The botanical-themed wood screen was carved by Tennessee-based artisan Caleb Woodard.

      LuxHunters Productions

      A niche off the living area holds a dry bar backed by brick-shaped tiles in iridescent jewel tones, while the powder room is an ethereal space that evokes being under the water with a shell-encrusted vanity and walls covered in shimmering mother-of-pearl tiles. 

      There are a total of four bedrooms (plus a den illuminated with a skylight-like installation created by Nathan Orsman) and five and a half bathrooms, each with a bold, unique style and innovative tile scheme. One guest bedroom is decked out with a deep gemstone-colored ceiling, while the primary bedroom goes for extra cozy with a coral reef–inspired headboard and custom rug by Portuguese ecological textile artist Vanessa Barragão and Mondrian-esque stained glass walls that enclose the bathroom.

      Textile artist Vanessa Barragão introduced a neutral-hued coral reef motif in the main bedroom.

      LuxHunters Productions

      Included in the sale are a separate guest or staff suite and two assigned parking spots in the on-site garage. The 26th-floor condo has monthly common charges of just over $9,000 a month (with another $135,000-plus in annual tax), for which the Continuum, at the southern tip of South Beach, provides 24-hour security, an attended lobby, two swimming pools, a fitness center, a children’s play area, three clay tennis courts, and an outdoor restaurant.

      Ella Fitzgerald’s Former Hotel Suite on the French Riviera Is Now a $9.7 Million Apartment

      by

      American songstress Ella Fitzgerald, who sang for several U.S. presidents, was known to occasionally take a breather at the iconic Le Provençal hotel in Cap d’Antibes, and the fourth-floor suite where she once gave an impromptu performance from the window can now be yours. Made over into a brand-new turnkey apartment, the $9.7 million (€7.75 million) pad is inspired by the Riviera’s golden years, says the building’s developer, Caudwell.

      In addition to the First Lady of Song, other global sensations like Pablo Picasso and Coco Chanel booked rooms at Le Provençal since the late 1920s. The illustrious destination closed in 1977 and sat dormant until English billionaire John Caudwell acquired it in 2014.

      The main living area spills onto a terrace overlooking the Mediterranean Sea.

      Caudwell

      Following an over $400 million renovation (£300 million plus gross development value), the former landmark hotel now houses 35 private residences. The new Ella Fitzgerald-inspired show apartment is “the latest in a collection of furnished residences we have unveiled,” explains Caudwell’s group director of sales, Lars Christiaanse, in a statement.

      Stunning views accompany the three bedrooms and spacious living areas in this fully furnished, 2,180-square-foot residence. Owners and their guests get even better vantages of the yacht-laced coastline from its generous terraces and covered loggia that total another 562 square feet. 

      Left to right: American singer Ella Fitzgerald arriving in Nice; Fitzgerald performing at the jazz festival in Antibes, July 1964.

      “The newly unveiled show apartment is a striking mixture of vibrancy and understated elegance,” Caudwell states, “paying homage to the ‘Golden Years’, the renowned Jazz Festival and the illustrious musical career and huge cultural impact of Ella Fitzgerald.” A warm color palette, gold accents, and contemporary art are a few key details throughout the home.

      Other inspired design cues throughout the apartment include purple/dark gold bedroom cushions, plus cream sofas and a wooden dining table that are meant to reflect Fitzgerald’s “down-to-earth” persona. Coffered ceilings span the living room, just ahead of the dining room and a kitchen with timber cabinetry, Miele appliances, and a massive marble island. All three living areas provide breezy sea vistas and open out to sunlit terraces.

      The en suite primary and guest bedroom are accessed down a hallway nearby. Each includes a marble-finished bathroom, custom vanities, walk-in dressing rooms, and terrace access. Elsewhere, the third bedroom doubles as a study. Le Provençal also grants owners access to a host of public areas with Art Deco flair, including a cinema, health spa, restaurant, retail boutiques, and six acres of landscaped gardens where a 98-foot swimming pool cool off in proximity to Hôtel Belles Rives’s beach club.

      Fitzgerald first stayed at Le Provençal for the first time in 1960, when she performed at the inauguration of the Festival Jazz à Juan in nearby Juan-les-Pins. It was in 1963 she sang from her hotel window, and she appeared at the festival again in both 1964 and 1967.

      Henrik Fisker’s Scenic Hollywood Hills Mansion Relists at a Discounted $29 Million

      by

      Henrik Fisker first hoisted his contemporary Los Angeles mansion on the market back in late 2024 for nearly $34 million. Almost a year later, the auto designer behind the retro-inspired BMW Z8 roadster, Aston Martin DB9, and failed Fisker Karma luxury plug-in hybrid still hasn’t enticed any takers and has decided to try his hand at offloading the place once again, this time with a slimmed-down $29 million ask. The listing is held by Barron N. Hilton and Tessa Hilton, who recently stepped away as co-CEOs and founders of their Hilton Hilton brokerage to join Compass.

      The property was previously owned by entrepreneur Stratton Sclavos, who completed the existing house in 2015 but lost it to a bank-affiliated entity in a 2020 foreclosure. Fisker and his business partner and wife Geeta Gupta acquired the Hollywood Hills abode tucked away on a secluded yet prime Bird Streets cul-de-sac just above Sunset Strip the following year for roughly $21.8 million.

      The sprawling fireside great room opens to a decked backyard via a floor-to-ceiling wall of glass.

      RELATED: This $125 Million L.A. Mansion Has an Underground Garage That Doubles as a Ballroom

      Nestled behind walls and a double interlocking iron gate, the blocky and angular structure offers a total of six bedrooms and seven baths in 11,800 square feet on three levels accented throughout with travertine and skylights. Vast expanses of glass overlook picturesque city and ocean views from the 0.43-acre parcel, with swanky perks ranging from a Savant system to a gym and wellness center. An attached 20-foot garage with copper-hued doors and lifts can accommodate up to six vehicles.

      A soaring wood front door pivots into the entry foyer, which is flanked on the left by a bookshelf-lined office with a powder room. From there, a spacious great room has a 35-foot-tall ceiling topped with mother-of-pearl light fixtures that sing when the wind blows and a massive two-way fireplace that connects to a lounge and wet bar. An automated wall of glass opens vertically to the backyard, while an adjacent dining room has a picture window looking out to a garden. A family room flows to a sleek wood-paneled kitchen outfitted with a large eat-in island, a La Cornue range, and a butler’s pantry.

      A floating staircase heads upstairs, where the secluded primary suite comes with a glass-railed balcony warmed by a fire pit and a luxe bath sporting dual vanities, a soaking tub, a glassy shower, and two walk-in closets. Down on the lower level is a mirrored gym and a wellness center with pink Himalayan salt walls and a sunken cold-plunge tub, as well as a sauna and a steam room. A media room sits next to a poker lounge surrounded by a glass-encased wine cellar.

      Stealing the show is the fully decked backyard, which is spotlighted by an L-shaped vanishing-edge pool featuring an inset spa and a Baja shelf with daybeds. There are also two fire pits, an alfresco dining spot with a drop-down cover, an outdoor kitchen boasting a Lynx grill, and a bar.

      Fisker, 62, is best known for designing ultra-luxury cars for BMW, Ford, Tesla, and Aston Martin before starting Fisker Automotive in 2007. Despite substantial financing, the company failed. In 2016, he launched Fisker Inc., with the Electric Ocean SUV beginning production in 2022 and delivering in 2023. The company subsequently filed for bankruptcy in 2024.
