    Sharon Stone’s House From ‘Basic Instinct’ Is Part of This Epic $91 Million Coastal California Compound

    by

    It’s been a little more than three decades since Basic Instinct first hit the big screen, but folks are still talking about the erotic thriller that thrust Sharon Stone into the limelight—primarily because of the infamous scene where her character Catherine Tramell goes au naturel during a police interrogation.

    More recently making its own headlines is the Carmel Highlands abode Tramell called home in the much-ballyhooed film. Part of an expansive complex of oceanfront residences along a craggy, cypress-lined cliff and known collectively as Seacliff, the 5.4-acre spread was acquired by software entrepreneur Gary Vickers in 2018 for $14.4 million and popped up for sale a year later with a $52.4 million price tag.

    Subsequently removed from the market and extensively reconstructed and expanded to the tune of millions in the interim, it’s now returned to the market with Tim Allen Properties of Coldwell Banker Global Luxury, this time asking an eye-popping $91.4 million.

    The Spindrift Road property was previously owned by Steve Fossett and his wife, Peggy, who acquired it in 1996. The renowned financier and aviator perished in a plane crash in 2007, and Peggy held onto the home until her death in 2017, at which time it was sold to Vickers and his wife, Kerry. In addition to appearing in Basic Instinct back in 1992, the scenic estate also made a cameo in the more recent HBO series Big Little Lies.

    Spanning five contiguous parcels, the property is anchored by the Lodge—the Basic Instinct house—which has eight bedrooms and nine baths in roughly 12,400 square feet across three levels warmed by 11 fireplaces. Ancillary structures include four smaller cottages, plus a new one-bedroom residence.

    The kitchen in the main house, known as the Lodge, comes with a brick pizza oven and wine refrigeration for up to 1,250 bottles.

    The Lodge is highlighted by a two-story Art Deco library boasting built-in oak bookshelves, a custom wrought-iron spiral staircase, and a silver- and gold-leaf domed ceiling depicting a mural of Johannes Kepler’s laws of planetary motion. Other features include a main-level bedroom adorned with early Northern California oil paintings and large-scale photographs of nearby Point Lobos, as well as a fireside formal dining room that seats 10, three kitchens, and two primary suites.

    A central courtyard dons a waterfall pool and a hot tub alongside fitness and wellness facilities equipped with top-notch gym equipment, an aromatic steam room, a dry sauna, and three more hot tubs. Stone pathways meander through gardens and meditation areas that include several rock fireplaces, a barrel sauna and cold plunge, a koi pond, and a greenhouse, while two stairways descend to more than 1,000 feet of private shoreline.

    The compund’s six rustic cottages are filtered throughout almost 5.5 acres.

    Per Vickers, the property has served as a jailbreak from the toils of commerce he has conducted over the past 30 years. “In its creation, I reconnected with the nuances of nature—and by all accounts, the storied guests who have visited this property have felt the spell I so overtly set out to cast upon them,” he said in a statement. “In the next chapter, I move to downsize and rejoin family in faraway places. But without hesitation, I fondly admit: My crowning achievement will always be the uncompromising realization of Seacliff.”

      Inside a $14 Million London Penthouse With Ties to Royal Potter Josiah Wedgwood

      by

      A new Mayfair penthouse has hit the market for £10.5 million (about $14.2 million)—and it comes with ties to one of Britain’s most renowned craftsmen. The duplex sits atop Six Charles Street, the former London showroom of Josiah Wedgwood, the father of modern English pottery, who revolutionized ceramics in the 18th century with his innovative designs and royal commissions, turning his work into a global brand prized by queens and aristocrats.

      Wedgwood acquired the Georgian townhouse in 1765, using the lower floors to display his ceramics while keeping a warehouse and pied-à-terre upstairs. The very floor where this penthouse now unfolds once served as his office, from which he secured commissions that defined 18th-century taste. Queen Charlotte’s patronage helped launch his celebrated “Queen’s Ware,” a refined cream-colored earthenware that became so fashionable it was soon being exported across Europe and the American colonies.

      A sculptural staircase opens up to the bright, airy reception and entertaining areas.

      In 1773, Russian envoy Aleksey Musin-Pushkin arrived at Six Charles Street on behalf of Empress Catherine the Great. The visit resulted in one of Wedgwood’s most famous commissions: the Imperial Green Service, a 952-piece set crafted in his Chelsea studio and now preserved in the Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg.

      The address quickly became synonymous with Wedgwood’s ascent from craftsman to court favorite. Other notable patrons included Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire—portrayed by Keira Knightley in the 2008 film The Duchess.

      The building itself has evolved over the centuries. In 1849, it was remodeled with a grand Italianate stucco facade; in the Victorian era, it was home to art critic John Ruskin; and after World War I, it was divided into apartments. Recently, developer REDD Real Estate restored the landmark, preserving its history while creating 11 modern residences.

      Three bedroom suites occupy the lower level, including a primary with a dressing room and marble bath.

      REDD Real Estate/Casa E Progetti

      A newly finished duplex penthouse crowns the property. Spanning 2,207 square feet across two levels, the spacious pad evokes a private townhouse. On the lower floor lie three bedroom suites, including a generous primary with a dressing room and marble-clad bath. A sculptural staircase leads up to the living and entertaining spaces, including a dual-aspect reception room, an eight-seat dining area, a cocktail bar, and French doors that open onto a 246-square-foot roof terrace—a rarity in London.

      The bespoke kitchen comes with Miele and Gaggenau appliances, while oak herringbone floors, veined marble, and custom joinery underscore the attention to detail. Designed by 1508 London, the interiors are replete with modcons, such as a Crestron lighting system, Banham security, and underfloor heating.

      Wealthy Americans are taking advantage of a dip in London’s luxury market, snapping up prime properties at prices far below their peak. Beauchamp Estates reports U.S. buyers made up 25 percent of high-end London purchases last year, up from 18 percent in 2023, while American and Middle Eastern buyers accounted for 50 percent of transactions over £15 million ($20 million) in the first half of 2025. These acquisitions are concentrated in the city’s most exclusive neighborhoods: Mayfair, Chelsea, Kensington, Notting Hill, Belgravia, St. John’s Wood, and Hampstead.

      Designer Judith Leiber’s Former East Hampton Home Is Back on the Market for $7 Million

      by

      Seven years after Judith and Gerson “Gus” Leiber died within hours of each other in their 90s following 72 years of marriage, the creative couple’s longtime home and studio in the Hamptons has returned to the market. Last sold by their estate in 2020 for nearly $3 million, the residence has since been “impeccably reinvigorated” and is now being offered at a dash under $7 million. Ann Ciardullo and Keith Green of Sotheby’s International Realty hold the listing.

      The illustrious handbag designer and her husband, an accomplished abstract painter, acquired a total of six acres in the Springs hamlet of East Hampton in 1956 for a mere $10,000. They then embarked upon a decades-long construction effort that would eventually encompass the main home and a separate art studio across the property’s two acres. The remainder of the couple’s estate is now devoted to the Leiber Collection, a brick Palladian-style museum and surrounding sculpture garden that opened in 2008 to display their work, according to The New York Times.

      Leiber’s green-thumbed husband Gus is said to have grown orchids and ferns in the pentagon-shaped conservatory.

      Hidden away behind gates and lush greenery on Old Stone Highway, the two-story gray wood-shingled primary dwelling has four bedrooms and five bathrooms in roughly 4,500 square feet, introduced via a double-height foyer displaying a terracotta tile floor and a traditional L-shaped staircase. Off the foyer is a bar-equipped dining room, which flows to a glass-encased conservatory on one side and a spacious fireside living room with built-in shelving on the other.

      Also standing out is a sky-lit kitchen outfitted with an eat-in peninsula, newer stainless appliances, and a breakfast nook, plus a primary suite flaunting a fireplace, a walk-in closet, a bath, and a spiral staircase leading up to a lofted space. Three additional en suite bedrooms can be found upstairs, while brick pathways outdoors meander their way to a pool, several gardens, and the detached 1,368-square-foot art studio featuring a large, light-filled workspace, a pair of lofts, and an attached one-car garage.

      A rectangular swimming pool overlooks the lushly landscaped yard.

      Judy, as she was known to her friends, was born in Budapest, Hungary, in 1921 and grew up to become the “Queen of Minaudières,” whose fanciful designs—which famously include animals and vegetables—have been carried by a lengthy roster of first ladies, royalty, movie stars, and socialites. Today, her bejeweled handbags, which typically sell for thousands of dollars, are part of the permanent collections at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Smithsonian Institution. Paintings by Gus, a New York native, can also be found at the Met, as well as the Whitney Museum of American Art and National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C.

      Inside the Longtime L.A. Home of Hollywood Power Couple John Cassavetes and Gena Rowlands

      by

      John Cassavetes and Gena Rowlands were true Hollywood royalty. The indie-film power couple collaborated on several celebrated movies, and they raised three children who went on to also work in the industry. Now, following Rowlands’s death a year ago, their longtime home is hitting the market for $5 million.

      The five-bedroom, four-bath Laurel Canyon abode is up for sale for the first time since 1963, when Rowlands and Cassavetes took ownership of the property. It’s a striking piece of Hollywood history, filled with original details that the couple retained and artistic touches that they added over the years. The pair also used the home as a setting for films like Faces, Minnie and Moskowitz, Opening Night, and Love Streams. Kate Blackwood and Kristal Moffett at Compass hold the listing.

      The couple’s family photos decorate the walls of the bar.

      Will Myers

      Approaching the 4,305-square-foot residence, you wouldn’t necessarily know that it was home to a couple of Hollywood stalwarts. But behind the lemon-yellow front door is a simple yet stunning sanctuary with a few nods to the owners. A fireplace anchors the wood-paneled living room, which is lined with built-ins and windows. Vintage black-and-white tiled floors are found in the kitchen and its adjoining breakfast nook. And Rowlands and Cassavetes covered the walls of a simple bar with photos of their friends and family.

      One bedroom sits on the home’s main level, while the primary suite and the other bedrooms are all found upstairs. What might be the best detail of the entire house is actually in one of the bathrooms, though: A hand-painted mural done by a family member depicts starlets getting ready for a night out, applying their makeup and fixing their hair—exactly what Rowlands herself might have been doing here before film premieres or nights out on the town. The pink bathroom also has Old Hollywood vanity lights surrounding the sink mirror, adding even more glitz and glamor to the space.

      The simple primary suite is found on the upper level.

      Will Myers

      Out back, there’s a patio with ample room for lounging around outdoors. If you’d rather be more active, there’s a small basketball court and a putting green. The property, which spans three parcels, includes a buildable lot on which you can expand. And situated on what’s known as the Hollywood Hills’ “Celebrity Row,” the Cassavetes/Rowlands home is surrounded by famous neighbors like Lady Gaga, Zac Efron, and Will Ferrell. You’ll be in good company, then.

      Prince William and Kate Middleton Are Moving to the Forest Lodge Within Windsor Great Park

      by

      Prince William and Kate Middleton are trading up—and staying close to home. The Prince and Princess of Wales, along with their three kids—Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis—are moving later this year from the quaint four-bedroom Adelaide Cottage in the Windsor Home Park to the stately Forest Lodge within Windsor Great Park, BBC first reported.

      Forest Lodge—once known as Holly Grove—traces its roots back to the 1770s and became part of the Crown Estate in 1829. The red-brick Georgian manor still carries its original charm, with ornate cornices, Venetian windows, intricate plasterwork, and a striking half-barrel vaulted ceiling.

      The eight-bedroom, six-bath residence underwent a £1.5 million (roughly $2 million) renovation in 2001, and earlier this summer, the Royal Borough of Windsor approved a fresh round of light updates. Plans include adapting fireplaces and removing a window, along with subtle changes that preserve the property’s historic character while keeping it functional for modern living.

      William and Kate are said to be funding the renovations privately and will pay rent to the Crown Estate through William’s Duchy of Cornwall income, which provides him with around $30 million annually.

      The move keeps the family close to Lambrook School, ensuring the children maintain the continuity of their education and the private family life they’ve grown accustomed to since relocating from Kensington Palace in 2022. It also brings them within a 30-minute drive of Princess Kate’s parents, Carole and Michael Middleton, who play an active role in the children’s daily lives.

      The home isn’t just about its baronial appearance. It also comes with a tennis court perfect for the sporty family and plenty of space for private family time. Despite the upgrades, the couple isn’t planning on maintaining live-in staff. Palace insiders say this is the place they plan to settle long-term—even after William becomes king.

      According to reports, close neighbors had to relocate to ensure the Wales family’s privacy. Royal expert Ian Pelham Turner told Fox News Digital that the families “were not expecting it,” while other sources explained the move was prompted by security concerns, keeping the Prince and Princess—and their children—shielded from prying eyes and the pressures of royal life.

      The property underwent a renovation in 2001 and will see further updates.

      Forest Lodge isn’t the only retreat the Waleses can escape to. The family continues to spend stretches of time at Anmer Hall, their 10-bedroom Georgian country home on the Sandringham estate in Norfolk. A wedding gift from Queen Elizabeth, the property has long been a favorite for William and Kate, offering a quieter, more relaxed backdrop than their Windsor residences. With its tennis court, pool, and rolling grounds, Anmer Hall remains a deeply personal sanctuary—one where Kate, in particular, has found comfort during her ongoing cancer treatment.

      Chuck Lorre Reportedly Bought a Revamped John Elgin Woolf Home in L.A. for $28 Million

      by

      A little more than five months after it hit the market, a revamped Hollywood Regency residence in the posh Bel Air enclave of Los Angeles has been sold, according to reliable sources, to legendary TV producer Chuck Lorre for $27.5 million.

      That’s far less than the original $31.5 million ask, but it’s nearly $10 million more than architect Mark Rios and Guy Ringler, a reproductive endocrinologist, shelled out for the rundown home over four years ago before giving it a full makeover that was featured in Architectural Digest. Linda May of Carolwood Estates held the listing, with Juliette Hohnen of Douglas Elliman repping Lorre.

      Behind gates and towering hedges on almost a third of an acre, the striking terracotta mansard-roof structure is fronted by an attached two-car garage and a gravel motor court. Designed in the late 1940s by famed modernist architect John “Jack” Elgin Woolf and twice occupied as his personal residence, the revamped home offers six bedrooms and eight baths in 8,400 square feet across multiple levels rife with parquet floors, vivid colors, and custom finishes.

      The Hollywood Regency home has six bedrooms and eight baths in 8,400 square feet.

      Beyond the towering Pullman entry doors, a glass-encased foyer overlooks a central courtyard. From there, a spacious fireside living area sports a cocktail lounge anchored by a lacquered fiberglass bar, while a red-hued library/media room features a carved marble fireplace and built-in bookcases. A formal dark green dining room capped by an antique mirrored ceiling with a skylight flows to a chic ebony kitchen, which is outfitted with Bulthaup cabinetry and a Lacanche range, plus a handy prep kitchen and breakfast room.

      The perks continue upstairs, where the primary suite comes with a private balcony and dual walk-in closets and baths. And other highlights include a Moroccan-themed lounge, an office, a wine cellar, a gym, and picturesque grounds hosting a sunken fire pit area and a stone walkway that empties at a koi pond and gazebo.

      Lorre, known as the “King of Sitcoms” for his large assortment of hit shows including Dharma & Greg, The Big Bang Theory, Two and a Half Men, and Mom, still owns a longtime home in the Pacific Palisades area of L.A. that he paid $2.6 million for in the mid-1990s. He also maintains an oceanfront retreat in Malibu he bought almost 15 years ago from Tony Danza.

      The Newest Season of ‘The Bear’ Showcases Frank Lloyd Wright’s Most Iconic Chicago Houses

      by

      In the opening minutes of season four, episode five of The Bear—titled “Replicants”—Jeremy Allen White’s character Carmen “Carmy” Berzatto trades the frenetic clang of the kitchen for the hush of an architectural icon. Instead of stalking through a restaurant in crisis, he’s quietly driving west, out of Chicago’s city limits, to Oak Park. His destination: the Frank Lloyd Wright Home and Studio at 951 Chicago Avenue.

      For a few unhurried minutes, Carmy drifts through Wright’s restored rooms, running his hand along woodwork, pausing under the barrel-vaulted playroom ceiling, and studying the warm glow of stained-glass skylights. He even lingers on the antique stove—appropriate for a chef—taking it in with the same reverence he reserves for a perfectly plated dish. Similar to Carmy, Wright’s perfectionism drove his art forward, but it also made life difficult for the people around him.

      In recent years, architecture has taken on a starring role in prestige television, with production designers positioning culturally significant homes as more than just backdrops—they become characters in their own right. Apple TV+’s The Studio turned a trio of John Lautner’s wild, futuristic L.A. houses into scene-stealers, and plenty of Wright’s own designs—from the Ennis House in Los Angeles to the Seth Peterson Cottage in Wisconsin—have popped up in films and TV over the years. But this is the first time we’ve seen his Oak Park home and studio take center stage, playing almost like another character in the story.

      Christine Trevino, digital communications manager for the Frank Lloyd Wright Trust—and Carmy’s on-screen tour guide—remembers the production’s care for the property. “You could tell the people involved had a familiarity with the Home & Studio,” she told Block Club Chicago. “Based on that, we knew they would respect everything as a historic site.”

      Filmed in a single morning with a small crew, the episode balances cinematic beauty with a palpable respect for Wright’s legacy. “I think it was very impactful to see how one man and his vision could shape a community,” Trevino added.

      Below, we’ll dig into Wright’s Chicago years, why Oak Park was such a crucial part of his career, and the two other landmark houses that got the star treatment in The Bear season four.

      Frank Lloyd Wright and Chicago

      Wright moved to Chicago in 1887 and later settled in Oak Park in 1889.

      Getty Images

      Wright’s career—and the Prairie School movement—were born in Chicago. Arriving in 1887 from Wisconsin, the young architect apprenticed under Louis Sullivan, whose “form follows function” credo shaped Wright’s thinking.

      In 1889, at just 22, Wright borrowed $5,000 from Sullivan to purchase land in Oak Park, a then-semi-rural village. His first home there became both family residence and design laboratory, evolving over two decades as he refined his approach to space, light, and integration with the surrounding landscape.

      By the time he left Oak Park in 1909, Wright had produced more than a third of his life’s work, much of it in Chicago and its suburbs. Today, Oak Park is home to the world’s largest concentration of Wright-designed structures.

      The Frank Lloyd Wright Home & Studio

      Wright’s first Oak Park home was a bold statement of independence. Built in 1889 in the Shingle style, it quickly became a living experiment in domestic architecture. Gone were the stiff Victorian interiors—Wright favored open central spaces that encouraged family interaction.

      In 1895, he added a dining room and the now-famous barrel-vaulted playroom: child-sized yet architecturally grand, a masterclass in proportion and openness. Three years later, he added a studio, anchored by a soaring octagonal drafting room where he and 14 associates shaped early Prairie Style masterpieces.

      After Wright left, the home was split into apartments, then rescued and restored by the Frank Lloyd Wright Trust in 1974. Today, it’s one of Chicago’s most visited historic homes.

      In The Bear, viewers get a rare peek into spaces usually reserved for tour-goers—or off-limits entirely. White touched original furniture, lingered on the drafting room balcony, and spent time in the kitchen.

      The Arthur and Grace Heurtley House

      Completed in 1902, the Heurtley House is a pure early Prairie Style gem. Its low, horizontal form is emphasized by brick walls with contrasting mortar: vertical joints dyed to match the brick, horizontal joints left natural. A hipped roof with deep overhangs frames a ribbon of art glass windows along the upper level.

      Wright turned the traditional floor plan upside down, placing living and dining areas upstairs to maximize light and views. No basement, no attic—just simplified, efficient design. Wright’s sister Jane Porter lived here from 1920 to 1946, and in 1997, the house received a meticulous, museum-grade restoration.

      The Nathan G. Moore House

      The Nathan G. Moore House is also known as the Moore-Dugal Residence.

      Universal Images Group via Getty Images

      Originally built in 1895 for attorney Nathan Moore, this Tudor Revival residence—with its steep roof and half-timbered upper stories—was a stylistic detour for Wright, who usually avoided historical pastiche.

      A 1922 fire destroyed the upper floors, but Wright returned with a daring redesign, fusing Gothic and Mayan elements into one of his most unconventional works. The 1923 version stands apart from his Prairie Style projects, showing Wright’s flexibility in meeting client demands while still pushing the boundaries of architecture.

      Adriana Lima’s Ultra-Secure L.A. Home Uses Facial Recognition Tech. It Can Be Yours for $16 Million.

      by

      Brazilian supermodel Adriana Lima and her husband, film producer Andre Lemmers, are parting ways with their high-security home in L.A.’s tony Brentwood neighborhood, listing the 7,400-square-foot residence for a speck under $16 million.

      Designed by Gispan Design with interiors by Anthony Barsoumian, the two-story abode is shielded behind a high wall, custom gates, and mature hedging on one of the widest lots in the area, with an impressive 120 feet of street frontage. Smoked glass adds an additional layer of privacy. What truly sets the home apart isn’t its sleek and pared-back modern design, however, but rather its fortress-level security system. After acquiring the property about three years ago for $12.35 million, Lima and Lemmers invested heavily in upgrades, installing automated perimeter beams, AI-powered cameras that can recognize familiar and, of course, unfamiliar faces, and a 24/7 armed patrol service.

      The five-bedroom, seven-bath main residence is joined by a detached guesthouse with its own bedroom and bath, bringing the total to six bedrooms and eight bathrooms. The interiors feature open-plan living areas with seamless indoor-outdoor flow, anchored by a dual-island chef’s kitchen with Miele built-ins, plus a discreet secondary prep kitchen with a Wolf range and walk-in pantry. A climate-controlled wine display, a private home theater upgraded with more than $100,000 in professional-grade AV equipment, and a resort-style backyard with a pool, fire pit, and outdoor kitchen are additional highlights.

      The second-floor primary suite includes a private terrace with a fireplace and a custom walk-in closet outfitted with key-card–access drawers for securing valuables. Each guest bedroom is en suite, with custom cabinetry and ample natural light. The property also offers a sports court and a gated drive with room for six cars. The custom and carefully curated furnishings and the collectible light fixtures throughout the home are available for purchase upon separate negotiation.

      Lima and Lemmers told The Wall Street Journal, which first reported the listing, that the decision to sell was tied to work commitments in New York and Europe. “Too much of our personal time was taken away by being on the other side of the country and longer travels,” the couple explained.

      Compass agent Paul Salazar, who holds the listing alongside Kyle Amicucci and Drew Fenton of Carolwood Estates, noted that demand in Brentwood remains strong. “It’s rare to find a lot this wide north of Sunset, 120 feet of frontage, so the rooms feel extra open, and the backyard gets amazing afternoon light with its west-facing orientation,” Salazar says. “It’s the perfect mix of space, sunshine, style, and peace of mind.”
