      An Opulent Miami Mansion Once Rented by Marc Anthony Can Now Be Yours for $19.5 Million

      by

      If this tropical South Florida estate looks fit for a salsa superstar, that’s because it is. According to listing agents Saddy Abaunza Delgado and Valeria Kelly with ONE Sotheby’s International Realty, Grammy-winning artist Marc Anthony once leased the palatial Coral Gables property that’s now up for sale for a speck under $20 million. Records show the stately mansion near Miami has been on and off the rental market since at least 2011 with asking prices ranging from $29,000 to a whopping $45,000 per month. The last time it was listed on the open market in 2017, the digs were seeking a cool $7.5 million. 

      Nestled within the guard-gated Tahiti Beach Island in Cocoplum, a neighborhood known for housing stars such as Cher, Shaggy, and NBA Hall-of-Famer Ray Allen, the grand residence takes after the work of 16th-century Venetian architect Andrea Palladio. Merging the classical with the modern, the 9,440-square-foot home features soaring double-height ceilings, both marble and oak flooring, and a recently renovated chef’s kitchen that’s decked out with granite countertops, plus a butler’s pantry for extra storage. 

      The living room has a trio of massive arched windows that extend to the double-height coffered ceiling.

      Altogether, the airy abode comprises six bedrooms and six-and-a-half bathrooms across its two floors. It also has a media room, a private gym, and a finished basement space that can be used as a game area. Outdoors, a heated in-ground swimming pool, a lounge area, and a barbecue station are positioned around a landscaped lot that’s just shy of an acre. 

      While not technically a private island, the buzzy Tahiti Beach enclave has just one entrance and consists of less than 30 homes, more than half of them with direct water frontage, as well as a residents-only beach with no public access. The community itself offers tons of leisure amenities such as a private club and clubhouse. You’ll also find multiple tennis courts, a yacht club, and 24-hour security.

      There’s a fireplace and ornate crown moldings.

      In addition to renting, Anthony owned another waterfront estate in Coral Gables’s Cocoplum neighborhood, which he purchased in 2018 for $19 million from rum heiress Hilda Maria Bacardi. Dubbed Villa Costanera, the house had 12 bedrooms, three kitchens, a wine cellar, and a 100-foot boat dock. Three years later, the Latin crooner offloaded the Mediterranean-inspired spread to investor John Curtius for $22.4 million after initially listing it for $27 million in 2020.

      Joe Jonas’s Former N.Y.C. Apartment Can Be Yours for $6 Million

      by

      It’s been barely a year since Joe Jonas sold his longtime apartment in the Nolita neighborhood of Manhattan and relocated to the Dumbo area of Brooklyn. Now the pop star’s former digs have resurfaced on the market, asking a smidge under $6 million.

      Records show the singer, songwriter, and actor paid $5.6 million for the residence back in spring 2018. He then sold the place around six years later for nearly $5.4 million to the current owners, who subsequently engaged interior designer Sarah Ivory to completely remodel the premises.

      An open-concept great room features a kitchen flanked by living and dining areas.

      Sited within an eight-story boutique condo built in 2015 and featuring just 11 units, Jonas’s onetime abode has three bedrooms and an equal number of baths in roughly 2,900 square feet. The contemporary interiors are adorned throughout with custom oak floors, walnut and marble accents, and large windows offering up plenty of natural light and picturesque skyline views.

      An access-controlled elevator opens into the private foyer, which flows to an open-concept great room holding a gourmet kitchen outfitted with sleek SieMatic cabinetry, an expansive eat-in island island that seats up to six, and top-tier Miele appliances. An adjacent living room comes with a wall of built-in shelving, while the dining area is spotlighted by a striking Calacatta Viola marble and walnut coffee bar that doubles as a buffet and cookbook storage for a rising pastry chef who calls the place home.

      Sliding glass doors in the primary suite open out to a rooftop terrace spanning 1,450 square feet.

      Sequestered off by themselves are the sleeping quarters, which include two guest bedrooms with eastern exposures and ample closet space, as well as a spacious primary suite boasting a walk-in closet and a spa-like bath equipped with dual vanities, a soaking tub, and a glass-encased shower. Both the primary bedroom and living room open via glass sliders to a 1,450-square-foot landscaped rooftop terrace, which hosts alfresco lounging and entertaining spaces, plus an outdoor kitchen.

      Rounding out the listing, which is held by Carl Gambino, Reilly Adler and Les Meyers of the Gambino Group at Compass, is a hefty $5,315 per month HOA fee that entitles the new owner to a full-time doorman.

      Comedian Whitney Cummings Is Seeking $13 Million for Her Suburban L.A. Estate

      by

      After nearly six years of ownership, Whitney Cummings has decided to part ways with her Mediterranean-style estate just outside Los Angeles. Records show the standup comedian has stuck a nearly $13 million price tag on the stylishly revamped spread, which is tucked away in a remote gated enclave of the San Fernando Valley.

      Though the asking price is almost $9 million more than the $4.3 million she doled out for the circa-2004 home back in 2019, Cummings completely remodeled the premises during her tenure in collaboration with designer Jake Arnold. Out went the nightclub-esque decor, and in came what Architectural Digest described as a “Santa Fe–meets–monastery–inspired” style with a total of five bedrooms and seven baths in roughly 6,800 square feet of warm and textured living space boasting a mix of hardwood and stone floors, high ceilings accented with reclaimed barn beams, and French doors leading outside.

      A high ceiling dotted with salvaged barn beams crowns the fireside living room.

      Sequestered behind gates at the end of a secluded cul-de-sac, the creamy stucco and terracotta-roof structure is perched atop a four-acre parcel overlooking sweeping mountain vistas. Inside, an entry foyer displaying a striking plaster spiral staircase flows to a light-filled living room highlighted by a masonry fireplace, while the elegant dining room connects to a gourmet kitchen decked out with custom cabinetry, an eat-in island topped with Blue Louise stone, high-end stainless appliances, and a breakfast nook.

      Elsewhere is an inviting den sporting a fireplace flanked by built-in shelving, as well as a bookshelf-lined library and a posh primary suite flaunting a private balcony, a separate seating area, and a spa-inspired bath spotlighted by a Belgian soaking tub. Outdoors, the olive tree-laced grounds host several alfresco lounging and entertaining spots enhanced by a pool and spa, swinging sofas, a fire pit, and a bar setup, along with a spacious motor court and a driveway that passes through a porte-cochère on its way to the two-car garage.

      In the backyard, the pool and an adjacent fire pit conversation area are enveloped in lush greenery.

      Adding to the home’s allure is the property’s setting amid a hollow that protects it from the Santa Ana winds, according to the listing held by Adam Rosenfeld and Jon Grauman of The Agency, which also notes there is a Los Angeles Fire Department helipad nearby.

      A native of Washington, D.C., the 42-year-old humorist and actress appeared in her first standup special, Money Shot, on Comedy Central back in 2010 and went on to create and star in the self-titled sitcom Whitney, which aired on NBC for two seasons between 2011 and 2013. Probably best known for co-creating and co-writing the hit CBS comedy 2 Broke Girls, she also hosts a popular podcast titled Good for You.

      Drake’s Sprawling Beverly Hills Estate Is up for Rent at $250,000 per Month

      by

      After nearly two years on and off the housing market at $88 million, Aubrey “Drake” Graham has now decided to hoist the palatial Beverly Hills estate he acquired from English pop singer Robbie Williams and his wife Ayda Field up for rent, asking a hefty $250,000 per month. The listing is shared by Branden and Rayni Williams of The Beverly Hills Estates and Marc Bretter of Maywood Property Group.

      Records show the Canadian music superstar paid $75 million for the property back in spring 2022, before promptly flipping it back up for sale a short year or so later with a $13 million jump in price. He subsequently removed and then relisted the place in early 2024 for the exact same price, and it remains for sale should a deep-pocketed buyer decide to come calling.

      A living room bookended with stone fireplaces opens out onto a covered loggia.

      Nestled beyond a secluded cul-de-sac and lengthy gated driveway, amid a nearly 20-acre parcel high in the hills above Benedict Canyon, the Tuscan-style spread was originally built in 2001 and fashioned by KAA Design Group for Guess co-founder Armand Marciano. A total of 10 bedrooms and 22 baths are sprawled across almost 25,000 square feet of three-level living space offering picturesque canyon and city lights views. Glitzy amenities range from an elevator, a wine cellar, and a game room to a gym and an 11-car garage.

      Other highlights include a double-height foyer boasting a curving iron-railed staircase topped by a striking cubist chandelier. Not one but two fireplaces and a wet bar grace the principal living room that opens onto an expansive covered loggia. There’s also a library, a formal dining room, and a gourmet kitchen outfitted with dual islands, top-tier appliances, and a breakfast nook. A sumptuous primary retreat comes with a fireplace, a private balcony, and a salon-like bath that’s bigger than some houses.

      The primary suite’s humongous, salon-style bath is all by itself bigger than some houses.

      Marc Angeles

      The manicured grounds are laced with mature olive and oak trees and host a large mosaic-tiled pool, as well as a full-size tennis court with a viewing platform and an indoor-outdoor kitchen sporting a pizza oven. Rounding it all out: a separate staff wing and a guesthouse.

      In addition to his Beverly Hills estate, the One Dance rapper owns a palatial 50,000-square-foot megamansion in Toronto’s affluent Bridle Path neighborhood that cost tens of millions of dollars to build. And, in late 2023, he also doled out $15 million for a luxury resort property in the Texas city of Brenham, between Austin and Houston.

      Joan Rivers Called This Opulent Manhattan Penthouse Home. Now It Can Be Yours for $28 Million.

      by

      A little more than a decade after Joan Rivers passed away at age 81, the legendary comedian’s opulent Versailles-inspired penthouse on the Upper East Side of Manhattan has once again popped up for sale, asking $28 million.

      Rivers acquired the 42-foot-wide spread in 1988 about a year after the death of her husband Edgar Rosenberg and lived there until she died in 2014, according to the New York Post. The property then sold around a year later for $28 million to Saudi Prince Mohammed bin Fahd Al Saud, who first hoisted the place on the market in 2021 for $38 million before subsequently reducing the price and then temporarily removing it from the listings in 2023.

      A blush-hued breakfast room holds court near the galley-style kitchen.

      Sited within the six-story, pre-war Spencer Condominium, which was designed by noted architect Horace Trumbauer in the early 1900s, the French Neoclassical-style triplex rests on the top three floors of the limestone building. Five bedrooms and six baths are spread across nearly 4,700 square feet largely original but modernized interiors boasting Parquet de Versailles floors, 23-foot ceilings, crystal chandeliers, and ornate moldings. There are also five wood-burning fireplaces, plus a couple of stone terraces offering skyline and Central Park views.

      A cozy library/media room is lined with built-in bookshelves.

      Other highlights include a private elevator landing that opens into a double-height entrance gallery before flowing to an expansive Louis XIV-inspired ballroom lined with floor-to-ceiling windows. Elsewhere are a formal dining room adorned with 18th-century French panels and a handsome wood-clad library/media room, as well as an upstairs primary suite hosting a corner office and a spa-like bath equipped with dual vanities and a glass-encased shower. A separate two, bedroom, two-bath guest wing on the lower level has its own fireside living room and kitchen.

      Per the listing held by Zina Raslan and Carl Gambino of The Gambino Group at Compass, a hefty $21,068 monthly common charge also avails the new owner of a full-time doorman.

      Elvis and Priscilla Presley Honeymooned at This Palm Springs Home. Now It’s Up for Grabs.

      by

      It’s been over six decades since Elvis Presley met Priscilla Beaulieu at a party in Germany. He was serving in the Army, the two hit it off, and subsequently they tied the knot in a 1967 ceremony held at the Aladdin Resort & Casino in Las Vegas. Afterward, the couple honeymooned at a Palm Springs hideaway that just popped up for sale with a nearly $9.3 million price tag.

      Originally designed by noted modernist architect William Krisel and built in 1960 by prominent local developer Bob Alexander as his personal home, the aptly named Alexander Residence was last sold in late 2022 for roughly $5.7 million to entrepreneur Nancy Cirillo. Resembling a retro spaceship from the outside, the spread evokes a decidedly ’60s-era vision of the future, and has since been renovated and modernized on the inside by Cirillo and her husband Cary Collins in collaboration with designer Michelle Boudreau.

      The snazzy sunken living room is highlighted by a floating fireplace and curving built-in sofa.

      Resting in the historic Vista Las Palmas neighborhood amid a half-acre cul-de-sac parcel at the foothills of the San Jacinto Mountains, the glass, stone, and butterfly-roof dwelling features four bedrooms and five baths in almost 4,700 square feet of split-level living space. The property is spread across a series of four interconnected circular pods unified by terrazzo floors and exposed brick walls.

      A stand-out sunken living room sports a custom built-in sofa and a striking fireplace, plus glass sliders spilling out onto a terrace. An elevated dining area connects to the kitchen, which is outfitted with white oak cabinetry, quartzite countertops, and a round island with five stovetop burners. An adjacent den, meanwhile, has a fireplace and TV notched into an earth-toned accent wall stretching to the ceiling. A former closet has also been converted into a black marble bar.

      A hedge-lined backyard with a pool and spa overlooks picturesque views of the San Jacinto Mountains.

      Tucked away up a staircase is a spacious primary suite that comes complete with a luxe bath flaunting wardrobe closets, a circular soaking tub, and access to a private balcony. Outdoors, the palm tree-laced grounds are showcased by a fireside sitting area, as well as a large pool and separate spa. There’s also an attached two-vehicle carport on the premises.

      As first reported by The Wall Street Journal,  Elvis leased the house for about a year starting in 1966 before marrying Priscilla in Las Vegas and then flying back to Palm Springs on Frank Sinatra’s Learjet for their honeymoon. Cirillo and Collins—she a former owner of a women’s activewear line, and he a tennis pro—have decided to sell because they are moving back to their old neighborhood on the other side of California’s Coachella Valley to be closer to family and work.

      “It was so fun to enjoy that phase of our relationship in that home,” Cirillo told WSJ. “It was kind of like our honeymoon house. Now, it’s back to real life.” The listing is held by Marc Sanders of Compass.

      Walter White’s New Mexico Home From ‘Breaking Bad’ Can Be Yours for $4 Million

      by

      Back in 2013, after Breaking Bad had wrapped its five-year run, fans were delighted when several vehicles used in the Emmy-winning TV show hit the auction block, most notably a 2003 Pontiac Aztek driven by Bryan Cranston’s character Walter White. So intense is the show’s fandom that a couple of years ago, a replica pair of underwear like those worn by the mild-mannered high school chemistry teacher-turned-ruthless drug kingpin went up for grabs, ultimately going to the highest bidder for a cool $32,500. Now, if you happen to have a bit more disposable cash burning a hole in your proverbial pocket, the unassuming Albuquerque abode where White and his family lived can be yours!

      The iconic pad, which just hit the market for a speck under $4 million, consists of four bedrooms, two baths, piano and living rooms, a dining area, and a kitchen spread across 1,910 square feet. There’s also an attached two-car garage out front and a pool and covered barbecue area holding court in the private backyard. Tucked away behind a fence on less than a quarter of an acre in the suburban neighborhood of Loma del Rey, the property is being offered by David Christensen and Sonya Avila of Christensen Group | eXp Realty Luxury.

      The backyard holds the pool that Walter White’s wife Skyler walked into fully clothed during a birthday dinner in Season 5.

      Christensen Group

      Purchased by Fran and Louis Padilla in the 1970s, shortly after it was built, and currently owned by the now-deceased couple’s children, the single-level stucco and wood-paneled structure was initially proposed as the site of a TV pilot when a location scout knocked on the door back in 2006. Filming began six months later, with Breaking Badpremiering in 2008 and the house going on to become a popular tourist attraction for fans from across the globe who are eager to catch a glimpse of the place where scenes such as the pizza toss occurred.

      “This home became a character as large as Walter White himself, sometimes receiving over 300 cars per day, and is a goldmine for an investor looking to have the best Airbnb in the world,” said Ryan Johnston of InterPhase Entertainment, who is handling the sale with eXp Realty.

      A Hollywood Agent’s Secluded Home in L.A.’s San Fernando Valley Lists for $3.5 Million

      by

      A rambling residence hidden down a long, gated driveway that passes over a wooden bridge in L.A.’s largely unsung Woodland Hills suburb near the eastern edge of the San Fernando Valley has come to market for a buck under $3.5 million. Elizabeth Benichou of Douglas Elliman and Dustin Benichou of Devorah B. Homes share the listing.

      Tax records show the seller as Rick Greenstein, a prominent Hollywood agent and a senior partner at Gersh, who represents a who’s who of comedians, including Dave Chappelle, Jamie Foxx, John Oliver, Drew Carey, and Kevin Nealon. The recently married Tinseltown power broker is looking to more than double his money on the secluded property he scooped up in 2019 for $1.55 million.

      Vaulted ceilings and a vintage brick fireplace are highlights in the family room.

      The home dates to 1937, when it was built in the Craftsman style, and a 2010 renovation and expansion brought the cottage to a comfortable 4,177 square feet. Stone-walled steps swoop up through a custom-lit, park-like setting from the motor court to an inviting, trellis-covered porch, and throughout the three-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath home are four fireplaces, a combination of cherry, beechwood, and light oak floorboards, stained glass windows and doors, and period lighting fixtures. 

      There’s a small office off to one side of the step-down living and dining room, while the other side of the rectangular space connects to a skylight-topped solarium that spills onto a terrace alongside a waterfall-fed koi pond stocked with 30-year-old koi that have been cared for by the same aquarist for their entire lives. Greenstein is willing to let the fish remain if the new owner commits to their care.

      At the opposite end of the home, atop a two-car garage, is the well-equipped center-island kitchen and a nearby breakfast room with a walk-in wine cellar. Just off the kitchen, a bar area connects to a light-filled family room capacious enough to accommodate a raised platform with a baby grand piano.

      The terraced gardens across the 0.6-acre property are drought-tolerant with a variety of exotic plants that bloom at various times throughout the year. Along with the plunge pool-sized koi pond, there’s a built-in grill, an alfresco dining terrace under a canopy of trees, and a trellis-covered deck that wraps around the family room. Under strands of overhead lights, a brick terrace has a fire pit, and a decked area has a spa. Set higher up on the hillside is a discrete dog run and, even higher, a pavilion outfitted as a gym that’s set in the treetops.

      Tax records show that Greenstein and his wife recently acquired a pair of small, adjacent units in a distinguished prewar cooperative apartment house in New York City’s Gramercy Park neighborhood.
