      Rapper Kid Cudi’s 12-Acre Spread in Suburban L.A. Is Up for Grabs at $8.5 Million

      by

      You might not have been lucky enough to snag some of his snazzy belongings that were recently up for auction—a custom 14-karat gold N.E.R.D. pendant by Jacob & Co. and a pair of rare Louis Vuitton x Nike Air Force 1 Lows sneakers, just to name a couple. But now’s your chance to pick up Kid Cudi’s actual home, because the Grammy-winning musician is looking to hand over the keys to his nearly 12-acre estate in the Los Angeles suburb of Calabasas for a dash under $8.5 million.

      Records show the Cleveland-born singer, songwriter, producer, and actor whose real name is Scott Mescudi doled out $7.7 million for the 2001-built Mediterranean mansion in summer 2021. Glitzy amenities include a movie theater and a fitness room with its own bath, plus a resort-like backyard hosting a lagoon-style pool and spa nestled beside a thatched-roof cabana with a kitchen and barbecue setup, as well as a fire pit, a sports court, and a putting green.

      The dark-hued movie theater has a ceiling-mounted projection system and tiered seating.

      Tucked away in an exclusive gated enclave, the creamy stucco and shingle-roof structure is accessed via a secured driveway that spills into a spacious motor court flanked on either side by attached garages that can accommodate up to four vehicles. Inside the brick-accented entryway, a soaring travertine-clad foyer with a striking bifurcated staircase flows to roughly 9,000 square feet of two-level living space boasting a total of six bedrooms and eight baths.

      A fireside family room sports a climate-controlled wine closet with room for 120 bottles and French doors opening seamlessly to a pergola-shaded terrace warmed by a large stone fireplace. Abutting the family room is a sleekly designed gourmet kitchen, which is outfitted with dual waterfall-edge marble islands, high-end Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, and an accompanying breakfast nook.

      The resort-like backyard hosts a lagoon-style pool decked out with a spa, waterfalls, and a slide.

      Other main-level highlights include a formal dining room and a living room equipped with a seated wet bar, along with an office space. Upstairs, five en-suite bedrooms encompass a posh primary retreat containing a covered balcony, a separate seating area, a couple of bespoke walk-in closets, and a luxe bath flaunting dual vanities, a freestanding soaking tub, and a glass-encased shower.

      Rounding out the listing, which is held by Eric Lavey of Sotheby’s International Realty, is your very own hillside vineyard.

      Ellie Kemper’s Central Park-View Apartment in N.Y.C. Is Up for Grabs at $7.5 Million

      by

      After first hoisting her New York City apartment on the market in early March for just under $8 million, Ellie Kemper has now lowered the price of her Manhattan digs on Central Park West. The actress and comedian, best known for her roles on The Office and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, is asking a discounted $7.5 million for the combined two-unit spread. Unfortunately for her and her comedian and TV writer/producer husband Michael Koman, that’s $300,000 less than the $7.8 million they paid in late 2021.

      Found on the fourth floor of The Ardsley, a 22-story Art Deco apartment house built and designed in the early 1930s by Emery Roth, the four-bedroom, seven-bath residence offers 60 feet of Central Park frontage. Pre-war details throughout its 3,750 square feet include herringbone-patterned wood floors, beamed ceilings, and large casement windows.

      The park-view library and living room are connected via pocketing doors.

      A private elevator opens to a landing that flows to a duo of foyers leading to separate wings. The park-facing side includes a fireside living room with custom bookshelves and an adjacent library, plus a pair of sizable primary suite-eligible bedrooms outfitted with walk-in closets and updated baths.

      Other highlights include a dining room and a windowed eat-in kitchen sporting a multi-hued glass tile backsplash, a Wolf range, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, a Miele dishwasher, and a nearby nook holding another fridge and washer and dryer. Two additional bedrooms each have their own baths, as does a small office off the kitchen, while a TV room/den sits next to a wine room that can accommodate up to 1,000 bottles.

      The 3,750-square-foot apartment has a total of four en suite bedrooms.

      The unit’s $7,709 in monthly maintenance fees allow access to on-site services and amenities like a 24-hour doorman and concierge, a fitness center, a children’s playroom, a library, and even a dog bath.

      The listing is shared by Ann Cutbill Lenane and Gregory Williamson of Douglas Elliman.

      The residence has 60 feet of direct frontage on Central Park.

      Kemper sold a similarly updated but slightly smaller pre-war apartment in the same Upper West Side neighborhood nearly three years ago for $3.3 million, according to the New York Post. A two-time Emmy nominee for her lead role in Netflix’s Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, the actress has also appeared in The Office, as well as the films Bridesmaids, 21 Jump Street, Home Sweet Home Alone, and Happiness for Beginners. Most recently, she was tapped as “Kohl’s Mom” for the department store’s new marketing campaign.

      A Filmmaker’s 1920s Spanish Colonial Revival Home in L.A. Lists for $6 Million

      by

      After more than a decade of ownership, married Tinseltown stalwarts Brad Bird and Elizabeth Canney are saying so long to their historic Spanish Colonial Revival home in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Los Feliz.

      The couple—he a director/producer of The Incredibles, Ratatouille, Tomorrowland, and Mission: Impossible-Ghost Protocol, and she a film editor for Big and Batteries Not Included—are asking a dash under $6 million for the residence they acquired in late 2014 for just over $4 million. Jacqueline Tager and Carol Stewart of Sotheby’s International Realty share the listing.

      The charming entrance courtyard is centered around an Andalusian fountain.

      Originally built and designed in the late 1920s by architect John William Chard and nestled on almost one-third of an acre, the attractive stucco and terracotta roof structure features four bedrooms and a matching number of baths in 4,270 square feet of thoughtfully restored and modernized living space. There are quarter-sawn oak floors, plaster walls, and casement windows flaunting antique hardware and wavy glass panes throughout, plus numerous French doors opening to flat grassy grounds hosting a pool and spa, a citrus orchard, and a grapevine-covered pergola.

      Introducing the abode is an enclosed courtyard with arched columns, Saltillo tile, Moroccan pendants, and an Andalusian fountain. Once inside the hand-carved wood front door, an entry foyer flows to a soaring step-down living room sporting a wood-burning stone fireplace, along with an adjacent fireside library/media room with ornate built-in cabinetry. A window-lined dining room connects to the eat-in kitchen, which is outfitted with soapstone countertops, a subway tile backsplash, Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances, a walk-in pantry, and a separate breakfast room.

      The step-down living room has an ornate stone fireplace and a 17-foot-tall ceiling embellished with iron beams.

      Former Cowboys Coach Mike McCarthy Relists His Texas Mansion for $5.3 Million

      by

      Around nine months after Mike McCarthy’s Texas home first hit the market for $5.7 million and subsequently failed to trade hands after a contract fell through, the former head coach of the Dallas Cowboys is hoisting his Santa Barbara-inspired residence in the Dallas suburb of Allen back up for sale. The asking price is a reduced $5.3 million, with Carrie Himel of Compass holding the listing.

      McCarthy, who was released from the team in January after his five-year contract ran out, acquired the property in May 2021, according to property records. Resting beside a golf course on nearly three-quarters of an acre in the exclusive guard-gated Wimberley Place community, the stucco and terracotta-roof structure was custom-built by Robert Elliott in 2016 and has five bedrooms and seven baths in roughly 8,300 square feet.

      A wood-beam family room with a gas fireplace overlooks the pool area.

      Introducing the sprawling two-story abode is an entry foyer with a curving iron-railed staircase that leads to a glass-lined family room sporting a fireplace flanked by shelving, as well as an adjacent kitchen outfitted with an eat-in island, top-tier Miele, Sub-Zero, and Wolf appliances, and a breakfast nook. A wine cooler-equipped butler’s pantry connects to the formal dining room, while a hallway off the foyer leads to a private office.

      Also on the main level is a spacious primary suite flaunting a bespoke walk-in closet and a luxe bath with dual vanities, two water closets, and a freestanding soaking tub topped by a glass insert peering into a two-person shower. A separate wing with its own entrance accommodates a guest suite with a kitchenette, a living area, and a bath, while three en suite bedrooms upstairs are joined by a bonus space, a gym, a sauna, and a hidden study nook.

      The backyard putting green is perfect for practicing before hitting the adjacent links.

      The posh amenities continue in the resort-like backyard, which hosts a waterfall-fed pool and a raised spa abutting an open-air cabana with a kitchen and barbecue setup, along with a fire pit lounge area and a putting green. Out front, a driveway passes through a gated porte-cochère on its way to a pair of climate-controlled garages with room for up to five vehicles, plus a pet kennel that spills out to a dog run.

      McCarthy, who was in the running for head jobs with the Chicago Bears and New Orleans Saints, has ultimately decided not to coach in the NFL during the 2025 season. In addition to his for-sale property, he also lays claim to a smaller $2 million Texas home in Plano that was previously owned by former Cowboys defensive coordinator and current Washington Commanders head coach Dan Quinn.

      Hallmark Star Heather Hemmens Lists Her SoCal Treehouse for $2.3 Million

      by

      Through the years, Heather Hemmens has amassed an extensive acting resume. After her breakout role as Alice Verdura in the WB series Hellcats, she went on to snag parts in If Loving You Is Wrong, Yellowstone, the Roswell reboot, and Dad Stop Embarrassing Me! with Jamie Foxx. Along the way, she became a regular on the Hallmark Channel, most recently starring in Christmas Under the Lights and The Groomsmen First Look. She’s also branched out to directing and producing.

      Now Hemmens is shifting gears on the real estate front, hoisting her hideaway in a rural area of L.A.’s Topanga Canyon in the foothills above Malibu on the market for nearly $2.3 million. That’s around $800,000 more than she paid for the place in early 2021, but she did add some personal touches to the 1970s treehouse-style residence during her tenure. Neyshia Go of Sotheby’s International Realty’s Beverly Hills Brokerage holds the listing.

      The voluminous dining room has a cozy lounge area and French doors opening out to a deck.

      Set on nearly half an acre of land providing mountain views, the beige and brown wood-sided structure stands out against its forested setting and has three bedrooms and two baths in roughly 3,400 square feet. Rustic yet modern living space on two levels boasts vaulted wood-beam ceilings, rich hardwood floors, and large windows throughout. There’s also a lower-level guest suite with its own kitchen, living and dining areas, bedroom, and bath, along with a small nook that currently serves as a gym.

      Among the highlights is a sunken living room sporting a stacked-stone fireplace that stretches to the ceiling and French doors spilling out to a balcony. The glass-lined dining room is accompanied by a lounge area, while an eat-in kitchen is outfitted with white and wood-toned cabinetry, a wine fridge, and stainless appliances. A fireside primary has a multi-hued slate bath equipped with dual vanities, an elevated soaking tub, and a walk-in shower.

      Alfresco lounging spots meander among the oak-laced grounds overlooking the mountains.

A turf-clad lawn has a seating area tucked off to the side, and walking paths also meander their way through the picturesque natural surroundings.

      Benny Blanco Just Sold His Manhattan Bachelor Pad for $3.6 Million

      by

      Benny Blanco has been quite busy as of late. The influential songwriter and producer got engaged to Selena Gomez and has been touring with his singer/actor/beauty entrepreneur fiancée in support of their newly released joint album, I Said I Love You First. On the real estate front, he also partnered with Gomez on the $35 million off-market purchase of a historic Wallace Neff-designed home in a prime pocket of Beverly Hills that was once owned by Hollywood director Todd Phillips.

      But now Blanco can take at least one thing off his fully loaded plate! After nearly a year on the market, he’s finally managed to offload his longtime New York City bachelor pad in Manhattan’s Chelsea neighborhood, just minutes away from the highly popular, elevated High Line park.

      Originally offered for a speck under $4 million in May 2024 and later reduced to $3.75 million, the loft-style digs ultimately transferred to an unidentified buyer for $3.6 million, slightly less than he originally wanted but still $155,000 more than the $3.4 million he paid back in late 2011. The listing, which was first reported by Realtor.com, was shared by John Gomes, Jacqueline Wilde, and Fredrik Eklund of Douglas Elliman.

      One of the guest bedrooms with a Murphy bed has been transformed into an office.

      Kenneth Chen/Evan Joseph Studios

      Found on the sixth floor of Seventh Avenue’s 19-story Chelsea Mercantile building, which was built in the early 1900s and served as a mail-order house for The National Cloak and Suit Company, the three-bedroom, three-bath unit features 2,200 square feet of renovated living space filled with colorful artwork and bold accessories.

      A lengthy entry gallery leads to a combined living and dining area, which rests beneath an 11-foot ceiling and provides picturesque southeastern views via large windows wrapping its corner locale. An adjacent all-white kitchen sports a veined marble backsplash and countertops, plus an eat-in peninsula and top-tier Wolf and Sub-Zero stainless appliances.

      The dramatic black primary bath is spotlighted by decorative bowl sinks and a walnut soaking tub.

      Kenneth Chen/Evan Joseph Studios

      Tall white oak double doors open into the secluded primary suite, which is outfitted with a Poliform walk-in closet that flows to a black-tiled bath equipped with a dual-sink vanity, a walnut-clad soaking tub, and a shower. Two additional bedrooms include one that has its own bath and a workspace and another with a Murphy bed and built-in bookshelves that doubles as an office.

      The unit comes with a $1,819 monthly maintenance fee, which allows access to services and amenities like a 24-hour doorman and concierge, gym, landscaped rooftop deck, children’s playroom, conference area, garage parking, and a private storage unit.

      In addition to their new Beverly Hills home, Gomez still lays claim to a place in Encino that was previously owned by Tom Petty, while Blanco, who lost a beachfront home in Malibu earlier this year during the Palisades Fire, owns a Hollywood Hills estate that he bought in 2020 from Tinder founder Sean Rad for $9.9 million.

      Kanye West’s Former Malibu Home Sells for More Than $30 Million After Less Than a Week

      by

      Well, that was fast.

      The concrete home in Malibu that Kanye West infamously abandoned is being sold for more than $30 million less than a week after hitting the market, The Wall Street Journal reported. The Tadao Ando–designed property is being snapped up by Andrew Mazzella, a luxury-home developer who works primarily in Montana.

      “California and L.A., specifically Malibu, is the highest level there is and I’ve always wanted to get to the highest level,” Mazzella told the WSJ. “This is me kicking down the door.”

      Some 1,200 tons of concrete were used to construct the beachfront home.

      Roger Davies

      The 4,000-square-foot home has a rather interesting history, to say the least. West threw down a whopping $57.3 million for the estate back in 2021, then completely gutted the place. Before he could complete the renovation, he stepped away from the project, eventually listing the mansion in 2023 and selling it to the crowdfunding company Belwood Investments for just $21 million, a massive loss even for a billionaire.

      Steven “Bo” Belmont, the owner of Belwood, began an $8.5 million renovation of the abode in the hopes of returning it to its original condition, The Wall Street Journal noted. But he also changed his mind and spun it back on the market just last week, with a price tag of $39 million. While the exact amount that Mazzella is paying isn’t yet public, Belmont told the newspaper that the contract price is between $30 million and $34 million, which Mazzella confirmed.

      The four-bedroom home measures in at 4,000 square feet.

      Roger Davies

      To fund the purchase, Mazella is raising money from third-party investors, the WSJ wrote. The developer is planning to move to Malibu for the rest of the year to see the renovations through, at which point he wants to once again place the home up for sale, this time for an eye-popping $55 million to $65 million. In the deal, Mazzella is being represented by Amanda Lynn at Nest Seekers International, while the Ando home was listed by Jason Oppenheim of the Oppenheim Group and Mauricio Umansky of the Agency.

      This brings the estate’s saga to an end—for now—but the home’s got a long way to go until it becomes an attractive prospect to someone who wants a move-in-ready property. When he was still the owner, West took out all the doors, windows, and interior finishes. In the past year, Belmont has made some improvements, including redoing the roof and installing new plumbing and electrical systems. Still, Mazzella has his work cut out for him.

      Rosie O’Donnell’s N.Y.C. Penthouse Sells at a Big Loss for $6.9 Million

      by

      After two years on the market, Rosie O’Donnell has finally managed to offload her New York City penthouse in Midtown Manhattan’s Turtle Bay neighborhood.

      The lofty residence was first offered for $8.3 million in spring 2023, then subsequently relisted for nearly $8 million before disappearing from the market and resurfacing at a discounted $7.5 million in April 2024. Now the place is under contract to be sold for $6.9 million, a whopping $1.1 million less than the $8 million the comedian and talk show host paid back in 2017. Caroline Bass of Corcoran holds the listing.

      A Guggenheim-inspired staircase off the great room leads up to the rooftop terrace.

      Russ Ross Photography

      Resting on the top two floors of the 33-story Sterling Plaza Tower, a 127-unit development built in the mid-1980s, the duplex has four bedrooms and three baths in roughly 3,600 square feet. Renovated by the previous owner, the interiors still boast Russian wide-plank oak floors, a Guggenheim-inspired staircase, and automated smart-home systems. There’s also a spacious rooftop terrace with views of the Chrysler and Empire State buildings, as well as the East River.

      Among the highlights is a window-lined living area sporting a large honed black granite wood-burning fireplace. An adjacent dining room with a wet bar and built-in window seat connects to a sleek Boffi kitchen, which is outfitted with Corian countertops, an eat-in island, a wine fridge, and high-end Gaggenau and Miele appliances.

      The Boffi kitchen comes with an eat-in island and a wine refrigerator that holds 70 bottles.

      Russ Ross Photography

      The private primary suite is decked out with six custom-designed closets, an additional walk-in closet, and a marble-clad bath with heated floors, dual vanities, a freestanding soaking tub, and a glass-encased steam shower. Elsewhere is a Swedish sauna for two. Rounding it all out is access to a 24-hour doorman and concierge courtesy of a $5,119 monthly maintenance charge.

      The Long Island-born actress, who has starred in Harriet the Spy, The Flintstones, and A League of Their Own, recently relocated to Ireland with her child Clay because of American politics, according to the New York Post, which first reported the sale. “Although I was never someone who thought I would move to another country, that’s what I decided would be best for myself and my 12-year-old child,” O’Donnell said in a TikTok video earlier this month. “And here we are.”
