      Stevie Wonder Once Lived in This $11 Million Beverly Hills Home. Now It Can Be the Sunshine of Your Life.

      by

      One of Stevie Wonder’s former residences wants to take you to higher ground.

      From 2011 to 2015, the legendary musician leased the 6,217-square-foot California digs set in Beverly Hills’s affluent Trousdale Estates neighborhood. The gated home at 600 Clinton Place was built in the 1970s with Hollywood Regency-style touches spanning four bedrooms, eight bathrooms, and a number of common spaces. Its spacious floor lets in an abundance of natural light and provides you with views of the Pacific Ocean from nearly every corner. If you’re looking to relocate, the luxe urban oasis can now be yours for $11 million.

      Lush front yard landscaping leads to the home’s front door. The exterior is at once modern and regal. Inside you’ll find soaring ceilings, wood flooring, and classic white paint on the walls that give it a minimalistic finish. The living room lies just ahead with a spacious area for plush seating, as well as a double-sided fireplace and tall sliding doors that open out to the backyard. 

      Further in, you’ll find the chef’s kitchen with luxe stainless-steel appliances such as a double oven, island-set stovetop, and dishwasher. There’s an excess of cabinet space for storing extra groceries and easily finding dishware when hosting guests. Adjacent is a spacious formal dining area with a tall window offering backyard views. The home’s primary bedroom is set on the East Wing with newly renovated finishes, dual walk-in closets, and an ensuite bathroom. A fitness center, office, and four-car garage round out the indoor amenities.

      “The walls in this home hold so much history from the ‘Wonder’ days and I had a feeling when I walked this home that if these walls could talk, you might hear Wonder and Quincy Jones re-living their 1972 You’ve Got It Bad album days,” says listing agent Holland Ashrafnia of the H Group at AKG | Christie’s in a statement.

      The abode’s backyard, meanwhile, features a covered patio with recessed lighting and smooth stone flooring. It extends out horizontally with enough space to house lounge seating next to lush landscaping and an oval-shaped pool. Even better, the backyard serves up mesmerizing views of the LA cityscape.

      Who Needs Music? Taylor Swift Has Amassed a Real-Estate Empire Worth More Than $150 Million.

      by

      Taylor Swift is in her homeowner era.

      The Ticketmaster-crashing pop star owns a number of properties in the United States, to the tune of more than $150 million, The Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday. That’s true even though she’s shaken off a few homes throughout the years, including a Cape Cod mansion and two four-bedroom houses in Beverly Hills.

      In 2009, after releasing her first album, Swift paid more than $2 million for a spread at a luxury condo building in Nashville, where she initially moved with her family to pursue a music career. Then, in 2011, she put down $2.5 million for a Greek Revival estate where her mother now lives. Today, those properties are worth about $5 million and $8 million, respectively, local real-estate agents estimate.

      Swift later welcomed herself to New York with homes in Manhattan’s Tribeca neighborhood. In 2014, she spent almost $20 million on two penthouse units in the Sugar Loaf building, where stars like Orlando Bloom and Steven Soderbergh have lived. In fact, Swift bought the units from the director Peter Jackson, combining them to create an 8,000-square-foot duplex. A few years later, the singer snapped up another $9.75 million apartment in the building, as well as an $18 million townhouse next door. In total, her N.Y.C. digs are now likely worth $45 million.

      If that seems like more than enough space for one person, Swift would beg to differ. Out on the West Coast, she owns the Samuel Goldwyn Estate, which she landed for $25 million in 2015. That house sits on two acres of land and features its original 1934 pool house, tennis court, and screening room, among other amenities. Despite being located in Beverly Hills, it’s a home truly fit for Hollywood.

      And of course, there’s Swift’s Rhode Island beach house, the home of her Instagram-worthy Fourth of July parties and the inspiration for her song “The Last Great American Dynasty.” Swift acquired the Colonial-style mansion for almost $18 million in 2013, and since then its value has skyrocketed to about $30 million.

      So where is Swift likely to set down roots next? Across the pond would be a good guess, given that London is the hometown of her boyfriend, Joe Alwyn. A person with knowledge of Swift’s actions told the WSJ that she was recently looking to buy a home in the Hampstead area, although it’s unclear if she completed a deal. Regardless, it seems like the star is building up a real-estate portfolio to rival the size—and value—of her music catalog. More

      Chicago Cubs First Baseman Eric Hosmer Just Listed His 1930s-Era Boston Manse for $6.5 Million

      by

      Beantown just got a swanky new listing in one of its most historic districts.

      Set in the heart of West Newton Hill, the 8,000-square-feet colonial home at 35 Wykeham Rd sits on just over one acre of land. Housing six bedrooms, five bathrooms and two half baths, the residence is just 10 miles away from the Massachussets capital. Major League Baseball first baseman Eric Hosmer has placed the 1930s-era estate on the market for $6.5 million, following a recent move to the Chicago Cubs from the Boston Red Sox.

      Renovated in 2018 by local custom builder Thoughtforms, the sprawling digs has a lot to offer. Its foyer leads you to the home’s inviting living room and sun room that overlooks the property’s verdant landscaping. A formal dining room, chef’s kitchen with a massive island, family room and three fireplaces can also be found in the home. A library with bay windows is one of the standout spaces in the abode, as well as the “snow globe room” that features floor-to-ceiling windows, a wood-paneled ceiling and outdoor views.

      Five bedrooms are located on the second floor, including the luxe primary suite with a spa-like bathroom and oversized walk-in closet. The lower level of the property, meanwhile, houses an extra room for your guests, spacious wine cellar, fitness room and storage room. For year-round entertaining, the backyard patio is equipped with a grill, fire pit and ample space for your most comfortable lounge seating. There’s even a vast amount of backyard space for your kids and furry friends to frolic and explore nature.

      Hosmer and his wife, Kacie McDonnell Hosmer, paid $6.15 million for the estate in September 2022, after his move to the Red Sox. The couple bought the home to “put roots down” before their first child was born, The Wall Street Journal claims. “We really found our dream home,” he told the publication, also noting they are sad to be leaving it. The star athlete began his baseball career in 2008 with the Kansas City Royals, according to the MLB website. He later moved to the San Diego Padres, then the Red Sox before signing with the Cubs this year. 

      To stake your claim on the Boston-area manse, contact Manuel Sarkis of The Sarkis Team at Douglas Elliman for more details.

      Darling Digs: Zsa Zsa Gabor’s Glitzy Palm Springs Hideaway Just Hit the Market for $3.8 Million

      by

      The former home of late Hollywood legend Zsa Zsa Gabor is up for grabs, and it’s just as over-the-top as you’d expect.

      The socialite’s glitzy Palm Springs pad was originally custom-built in 1964 for her sister, Magda, by her fourth husband, Arthur “Tony” Gallucci. Though, Zsa Zsa lived there after her sibling passed away in 1997. In the years since it’s been given a modern and maximalist refresh thanks to its current owners. Interior designer Tracy Turco and her husband, Jerry, who’s a real estate developer, scooped up the three-bedroom residence back in 2020, reported Mansion Global. “When we found out the Gabor estate was for sale—totally glamour—I wanted it before I had even seen it. Hollywood-Regency style is my aesthetic!” Tracy told the listing site over email.  

      The Palm Springs home of late actress Zsa Zsa Gabor just listed for $3.8 million

      The midcentury stunner is set on an elevated plain atop the picturesque Little Tuscany neighborhood. The spare desert setting makes the playful, pink brick exterior stand out all the more. Outside, you’ll find a giant mosaic-tile swimming pool complete with a stone deck and statues. Inside, nearly every inch of the 3,500-square-foot estate is a study in baroque aesthetics. There are shimmering chandeliers and mirrored walls throughout, which were part of the original home. Oh yeah, and all of the furnishings, a grand piano and even a portrait of Magda are all included in the sale. The latter is worth a whopping $20,000, according to agent Conrad Miller of Avenue 8, who holds the listing with colleague Brandon Holland. 

      The home still has its original mirrored walls but has been renovated by owner and interior designer Tracy Turco

      Naturally, the Turcos put their own artsy stamp on the place. The kitchen, which has ample wine storage and an original Hungarian rotisserie, features a metallic gold ceiling and black cabinets. Elsewhere, funky wallpaper designs are plastered all over the abode. In the primary suite, the couple added an office and seating area. The space also has pink carpeting and a matching closet, a makeup room, an en suite bath and striking views of the surrounding mountains.  

      The California estate can now be yours for a cool $3.8 million, and to quote Zsa Zsa, it’s simple, darling.

      Reese Witherspoon Once Lived in This Rustic Malibu Farmhouse. Now It Can Be Yours for $8 Million.

      by

      There are several perks to snagging this Malibu ranch. For starters, it comes with its own Airstream and is steps away from one of the world’s most famous beaches. Plus, you’d be living in the home where Reese Witherspoon used to hang her hat.  

      The actress originally bought this Southern California compound, aptly named Zuma Farms, in 2019. Though, she decided to offload it just one year later, reported Dirt. Now, that same property has found its way back onto the market, but this time the seller is real-estate heiress Meg Haney. If you’re willing to fork over $8 million, the celeb-loved pad can be yours.  

      A Malibu compound that Reese Witherspoon once called home has just listed for $8 million

      Simon Berlyn for Sotheby’s International Realty

      Dating back to 1949, the rustic-looking spread sits on roughly two acres and is highly secluded, hidden amongst lush woodlands and 1,500-year-old sycamores. In the decades since Zuma Farms was built, it’s undergone an extensive renovation and, at some point, even operated as a wedding venue. The grounds here currently include a modernized main house, a repurposed barn, a gym, horse paddock and sports court. Plus, don’t forget about that aluminum trailer out back. It sleeps four and has been decked out with its own kitchen, bath and shower. 

      The spread includes a repurposed barn decked out with a billiards area, kitchen and media center

      Simon Berlyn for Sotheby’s International Realty

      In the main residence, there’s no shortage of charming details. You’ll find dark hardwood floors, exposed beamed ceilings and white paneled walls. The abode offers up four bedrooms, in addition to an eat-in kitchen, a living room with a brick fireplace, a dining area and a bar. Several vintage details are on display throughout the dwelling, including a claw-foot soaking tub and antique hardware. Just outside, there’s a charming swing set hanging from a tree along with a fire pit and a hot tub. Elsewhere, the barn has been given a similarly stylish overhaul; it sports the same soaring high ceilings and wood flooring but with the added bonus of a billiards area, media space and lofted bedroom.  

      Graham J. Larson of Sotheby’s International Realty holds the listing.

      Sylvester Stallone’s Equestrian Estate in California Hits the Market for $22.5 Million

      by

      Sylvester Stallone has gone from embodying a heavyweight boxer to becoming a real-life house flipper. Luckily, his real-estate endeavors have been anything but rocky.  

      Earlier this year, the Academy Award–winning actor dropped $18 million on a roughly two-acre compound in the San Fernando Valley. That is, after he and his wife, Jennifer Flavin, sold their longtime Beverly Park estate to singer Adele. Now, Sly is unloading that same California dude ranch he bought back in March, but this time, it’s on the market with an even bigger price tag—a whopping $22.5 million. 

      The Hamptons-style residence, designed by Martyn Lawrence Bullard, is set at the end of an exceedingly private cul-de-sac inside the celeb-studded, guard-gated community of Hidden Hills. The property includes an amenity-packed main pad, a separate guest house and a large swimming pool with its own spa and cabana. If you’ve got a passion for horses like the Tulsa King star and equestrian enthusiast, there’s also a four-stall barn and a riding arena. Elsewhere, the grounds include an outdoor kitchen, a sprawling fruit orchard and vegetable gardens.  

      Built in 2015, the main house and guest dwelling total more than 10,000 square feet and offer four bedrooms and six and a half bathrooms altogether. A swanky media room and gym are a few of the interior highlights; consider the library and wine cellar to be added perks. Stalone’s stately abode also has an open-concept chef’s kitchen with granite countertops and a formal dining area. The spacious living room has been decked out with a fireplace, vaulted wood-beam ceilings and sliding glass doors.  

      Of course, the primary bedroom is as opulent as one would expect. There’s a sitting area, not one but two walk-in closets, a private balcony and an en suite bathroom with a soaking tub and a steam shower. The Hollywood icon is reportedly ditching his digs to spend more time in Florida where he has a property in Palm Beach. Or perhaps he’s just on the hunt for his next home improvement project.  

      Jordan Cohen of Re/Max One holds the listing.
