    A Comedian and an Heiress Have Put Their Vintage L.A. Mansion on the Market at $22 Million

    Around a decade ago, Lydia Hearst traded the East Coast for the West Coast. The heiress to William Randolph Hearst’s publishing empire and the daughter of Patty Hearst left behind a New York City condo she purchased in 2008 at age 23 to relocate to bigger marital digs in Los Angeles with her soon-to-be husband, actor and comedian Chris Hardwick.

    Now both those properties have simultaneously hit the market. Hearst’s former digs in Manhattan just listed for $2.2 million with Paul Kolbusz and his team at Corcoran, while her and Hardwick’s impressive estate in the Los Feliz neighborhood of Hollywood Hills is up for sale at $21.5 million with Hardwick’s mother, Sharon Hills of Rodeo Realty.

    The terracotta-tiled entry foyer boasts Corinthian-arched columns and a carved wood ceiling.

    Records show Hearst and Hardwick, who have relocated to the Central Coast, acquired their Los Feliz home in 2015 for $11 million and have since undertaken an extensive and meticulous restoration. Originally built and designed almost a century ago for affluent banker Victor Rossetti and his wife Irene at a cost of $47,000 by trailblazing architect Paul R. Williams, the Spanish Colonial Revival villa was designated as a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument in 2008. It’s also covered under the Mills Act, which offers significant property tax savings in exchange for preserving the historic appearance.

    Set amid two parcels of securely gated land spanning over an acre near Griffith Park, the stucco and terracotta-roof structure is known as the Victor Rossetti Residence and features a total of 10 bedrooms and a dozen baths in roughly 9,000 square feet. Two-and-a-half levels of L-shaped living space are laced throughout with coffered and hand-painted ceilings, stained glass windows, whimsical wallpaper, built-in alcoves, and three ornate fireplaces.

    The living room comes with a coffered ceiling and a carved stone fireplace.

    Standing out in the non-staged abode is a striking entry foyer that steps down to a fireside living room, plus a wood-paneled library. A formal dining room and a breakfast nook connect to an updated kitchen sporting floor-to-ceiling tile, top-tier appliances, and an accompanying butler’s pantry and breakfast room, with other highlights including a primary suite with a separate sitting area and a massive walk-in closet, along with a media room, a pub-style lounge, a wine room, and a door disguised as a bookcase that leads to a lower-level room for entertaining.

    Outdoors, the lush grounds host a pool and a summer lounge, a pergola-shaded kitchen and barbecue setup, a fire pit and a two-way fireplace, and a “secret” garden with a koi pond, a citrus grove, and several fountains. Two guest spaces each have a full bath and kitchenette, and a two-car garage is supported by additional parking for up to 25 vehicles. An adjoining property tacked on by the couple includes a 1,500-square-foot home that comes with approved city plans for customization, a renovated pool, and a newly refurbished pool house.

    As for Hearst’s former pad (pictured above) on 57th Street in Manhattan’s Gramercy neighborhood, across from the Hearst Tower, the model and actress paid $1.5 million for it 17 years ago; it last sold in 2016 for around $2.5 million.

    Perched on the 30th floor of the Sheffield building, the two-bedroom, two-bath unit has just over 1,100 square feet and features a combined living and dining area offering city and Hudson River views via nearly 25 feet of windows wrapping its corner locale. The kitchen sports a marble backsplash and countertops paired with Bosch, Miele, and Sub-Zero appliances, a primary bedroom has a bath with a soaking tub and a shower, and another bedroom with a custom built-in Murphy bed can double as an office or den.

    Meredith Vieira’s Manhattan Penthouse With Central Park Views Lists for $12.5 Million

    Meredith Vieira is officially signing off from her New York City penthouse. Per The New York Times, the broadcast journalist and TV personality best known as a co-host of The View has hoisted her elegant pied-à-terre in Manhattan’s Central Park West neighborhood on the market for $12.5 million. Deborah Kern of The Corcoran Group holds the listing.

    Records show she and her husband, Richard Cohen, an Emmy-winning TV producer who passed away last December at age 76, acquired the co-op unit in 2014 for nearly $9 million as a retirement place that would be comfortable for Cohen, who suffered from multiple sclerosis and penned a bestselling memoir about the disease. Vieira, who still maintains a primary residence in Irvington, New York, and a Cape Cod beach house, told the Times, “I needed the apartment to have high ceilings and to have a lot of light; I needed it to be one level; and I needed it to have outdoor space.”

    The dining area is separated from the living room by a two-way fireplace.

    The city digs, located on the 19th floor of the landmarked Art Deco Eldorado building designed by noted architect Emery Roth in the 1930s, offer three bedrooms and four baths across 2,800 square feet. Largely original yet modernized interiors are outfitted with herringbone oak floors, 10-foot ceilings, oversized casement windows, and decorative moldings, plus central air-conditioning and a couple of landscaped bluestone terraces spanning about 1,400 square feet.

    Other highlights include a private elevator landing and foyer that lead to a living room and dining area separated by a two-way limestone fireplace and lined with French doors opening to a southern terrace overlooking the city and Hudson River. Nearby is a closet that’s been converted into a bar, plus a windowed kitchen equipped with custom wood cabinetry, stone cabinetry, and Bosch, Wolf, and Sub-Zero appliances. A walk-in pantry comes with a wine fridge, while a breakfast nook has banquette seating.

    Elsewhere is a bookshelf-lined office with an attached powder room that could easily be used as a bedroom, as well as a secluded primary suite featuring an integrated entertainment center, plenty of closet space, and a tiled bath equipped with dual vanities and a large walk-in shower. Two additional bedrooms include one with its own bath and another with access to a hallway bath, with all three spilling out to a northern terrace offering views of Central Park and the Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir.

    The new owner will also be privy to plenty of amenities courtesy of an $8,332 monthly maintenance fee, including a 24-hour doorman, a concierge, a live-in superintendent, a fitness center, a children’s playroom, bike storage, and shared outdoor space. There is also a $268 monthly assessment through 2027 for window work in the building.

    According to the Times, the 71-year-old Rhode Island native says she might eventually buy another place in Manhattan, where she serves as a guest anchor on Today. A permanent host from 2006 to 2011, her lengthy career has also included stretches on 60 Minutes and The View. She currently helms the TV game show 25 Words or Less.

    Inside the $5 Million Apartment of New York Artists Joel Shapiro and Ellen Phelan

    When you think of great New York artists, few names loom larger than the late Joel Shapiro. The celebrated sculptor, whose angular, gravity-defying figures are icons of modern art, spent his life exploring form, balance, and the spaces in between. Now, just months after his passing at 83, the Manhattan home he shared with his painter wife, Ellen Phelan, has hit the market for $4.75 million. Eileen Angelo and Max Collins of Sotheby’s International Realty hold the listing.

    The duplex, tucked inside a 1907 building on East 67th Street in Lenox Hill, is every bit as striking as you might expect from a couple so steeped in art and architecture. The couple purchased the apartment in the early 2000s and immediately reimagined it from the ground up. Their renovation—done in the ’90s but still timeless—introduced beveled glass casement doors, brass hardware, and a sweeping staircase that feels almost like one of Shapiro’s own pieces brought to life.

    Elsewhere on the main floor is a south-facing library with a fireplace, a dedicated home office, and a corner guest bedroom with a private bath. The entire second floor has been transformed into a grand primary suite that’s complete with a mezzanine that overlooks the living room, a bedroom with a fireplace, a separate sitting/dressing room, two walk-in closets, a large bathroom, and a spacious laundry room.

    Shapiro, born in Queens in 1941, remained fiercely loyal to New York City throughout his career, maintaining a studio in Long Island City even as his work appeared in museums and public spaces around the world. (His largest piece stands outside the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C.) Phelan, an acclaimed painter, often explored themes of domesticity and place in her own work, which is included in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art and the Whitney Museum.

    The primary suite spans the entire second floor.

    The Italian Renaissance-style building, designed by architect Charles A. Platt while at the firm of Rossiter and Wright, has long been a haven for creative minds. Over the decades, it’s housed everyone from a Rockefeller heir to design legends Massimo and Lella Vignelli, who created New York’s iconic subway map. For Shapiro and Phelan, it offered both proximity to the city’s cultural heart and a private, light-filled refuge above it all.

    Their creative life, however, wasn’t confined to Manhattan. The couple also owned a lakeside estate in Westport, New York. Another work of art in its own right, the Prairie-style property, known as Kenjockety, sits on the shore of Lake Champlain and was their retreat from city life. There, amid 1,400 feet of waterfront and gardens designed by landscape architect Dan Kiley, they restored a 1910 home into a serene, art-filled sanctuary. That property is also currently on the market—first listed this summer for $5.49 million, now asking $4.8 million.

    Rolling Loud CEO Matt Zingler Is Selling His Splashy Miami Beach Compound for $19 Million

    Matt Zingler isn’t just moving beats—he’s moving real estate. The cofounder and CEO of Rolling Loud, a.k.a. the world’s biggest hip-hop festival, just listed his waterfront compound in Miami Beach for $18.9 million, and it’s every bit as extra as you’d expect.

    Perched on the exclusive Biscayne Point, the estate spans two lots and offers 150 feet of open bay frontage, sweeping water views, and the kind of privacy that makes celebrities and moguls swoon. Zingler started building this Miami dream nearly 10 years ago, first snagging one lot for $1.85 million in 2016, then adding a second in 2020 for $2.195 million. Today, it’s a half-acre playground that pairs modern architecture with serious showmanship.

    Step inside, and the drama is immediate. A double-height foyer greets you with motorized Baccarat-inspired chandeliers that feel straight out of a five-star hotel. Parisian-style paneling, custom millwork, and soaring ceilings transport you to the City of Light, while the expansive windows beyond spotlight the surrounding waterways. A little further in, the marble kitchen flows into a salon with a marble media wall and fireplace. To top it off, literally, the cantilevered primary suite floats above the bay like a luxury yacht, offering owners a dressing room, breakfast bar, and a green onyx bath.

    And then there’s the closet. Not just any closet: a $250,000, bank-vault-style, bulletproof-glass safe room. “The owner drew inspiration from some of the top hotels in the world that he would frequently visit,” listing agent Dina Goldentayer of Douglas Elliman told the South Florida Digest.

    The marble kitchen opens to a main living area anchored by a marble media wall and fireplace.

    Outside, the spectacle continues. An infinity-edge lap pool melts into Biscayne Bay, a sundeck and covered lounges offer every option for entertaining, and there’s even room for a padel court. The secondary residence, a former home built in 1950, now serves as a guest house or wellness pavilion with its own pool and summer kitchen.

    Zingler, now in his thirties and heavily tattooed, lives like a modern rock star, which isn’t far from the reality of his life online. Since founding Rolling Loud with college friend Tariq Cherif in 2015, he has turned the Miami-based festival into a global phenomenon, staging events in Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York, London, Japan, China, Mexico, Australia, and Croatia. Travis Scott, A$AP Rocky, Nicki Minaj, Kendrick Lamar—you name it, they’ve hit the stage at Rolling Loud. Who knows, they may have congregated at a certain Miami Beach pad, too.

    1950s Box-Office Star William Holden’s Former Palm Springs Home Lists for $11 Million

    William Holden passed away in 1981 at age 63, but the popular star’s legacy lives on at this Palm Springs estate he called home for over a decade, not to mention a 40-year career that saw him snag a 1954 Oscar for his role as a cynical prisoner of war-turned-hero in Stalag 17 and then go on to earn two more nods for Sunset Boulevard and Network.

    Stylishly restored and revamped in recent years, Holden’s former Coachella Valley oasis is now on the market in the Deepwell Estates neighborhood for a speck under $10 million. Aaron Leider of The Agency holds the listing.

    The minimalist living room is anchored by an original raised-hearth fireplace.

    Completed in the mid-1950s by master builder Joe Pawling for wealthy Illinois philanthropists and socialites George and Marcia Barrett, Holden occupied the digs from 1966 to 1977. Hitchcock actress Tippi Hedren—Melanie Griffith’s mother—later lived there during the 1990s. Last sold in 2017 for $3.4 million, the restored and modernized spread was designated as a Class 1 Historic Site by the city of Palm Springs in 2018.

    Resting amid four parcels spanning nearly an acre of land with sweeping views of the San Jacinto Mountains, the sprawling post-and-beam home offers five bedrooms and six baths in roughly 4,400 square feet across a U-shaped single-level floor plan. Highlights include a wood-beamed living room sporting the original freestanding fireplace, plus pivoting glass doors spilling out to a terrace. An adjacent dining area connects to a kitchen outfitted with sleek white cabinetry, a central island, stainless appliances, a breakfast nook, and access to a barbecue area.

    The updated kitchen opens to a patio sporting a built-in barbecue.

    Beyond a family room, the sequestered primary suite comes with a walk-in closet and a bath flaunting dual vanities and a large glass-encased shower for two. Like most spaces in the attractive abode, the bedrooms spill out to the park-like grounds, which are showcased by a 55-foot-by-21-foot pool surrounded by a grassy lawn and sundeck, along with a separate spa and a marble fire pit.

    In the 1950s and ’60s, Deepwell Estates, one of Palm Springs’ oldest neighborhoods, counted an impressive roster of Hollywood residents, such as Eva Gabor, Loretta Young, Elizabeth Taylor, Jerry Lewis, and Carmen Miranda.

    Mark Wahlberg Just Dropped $37 Million on a Lavish South Florida Estate

    As fall sets in and cooler temps prevail, the snowbird set is getting ready to head south for the winter. And this season, they’ll have a new celeb in their midst: Mark Wahlberg, who just snapped up an opulent $37 million mansion in South Florida.

    The Aldo Stark–designed Palazzo di Lago hit the market back in April for $45 million in Delray Beach’s tony Stone Creek Ranch enclave, a gated community sometimes referred to as the town’s “Billionaires Row.” Spanning a whopping 26,000 square feet, the gargantuan pad has seven bedrooms, 10 full bathrooms, and a suite of amenities suited for A-list stars. Senada Adžem at Douglas Elliman held the listing; Wahlberg was represented by Michael Costello at Compass.

    The chef’s kitchen is all Italian gray marble and walnut cabinetry.

    Daniel Petroni

    Wahlberg and his wife, Rhea Durham, purchased the estate fully furnished, a decision that enables them to settle in seamlessly ahead of the Palm Beach social season getting into full swing. The grand foyer is decked out in lacquered wood and stone, while the chef’s kitchen is all walnut and Italian gray marble. In the primary suite, the floors are inlaid with mother-of-pearl, and there’s a hidden safe room for stashing valuables and in case of emergencies. Other impressive perks include a plush home theater, a cigar room with an advanced air purification system, and an auto gallery for displaying your car collection. Outside, Wahlberg and his family can splash around in the saltwater lagoon pool, enjoy a nighttime match on the lighted tennis court, or play a life-size game of chess on the oversize board.

    Palazzo di Lago is the first residence in Florida for the Wahlbergs, who have lived primarily in Las Vegas since about 2022 and also maintain a two-acre spread in Idaho. Prior to Las Vegas, the family had long lived in Beverly Hills. In 2001, they scooped up a $5 million estate, extensively upgraded it, and sold it in 2013 for almost $10.3 million—it’s currently back up for sale at $21.8 million. The Wahlbergs moved from there into a massive chateau-inspired megamansion in the ultra-exclusive Beverly Park neighborhood that they had custom built on a six-acre parcel purchased back in 2009 for $8.3 million. They sold the estate to Paris Hilton earlier this year for $63 million.

    You can play pool or sidle up to the bar in the club room.

    Daniel Petroni

    Stone Creek Ranch, about 11 miles inland from the Atlantic Ocean, has quietly become a discreet haven for ultra-high-net-worth individuals, thanks in part to its privacy and security. Hedge fund manager Steven Cohen, owner of the New York Mets, dropped $21.6 million on a 21,000-square-foot home there a few years ago; another showpiece home, one inspired by Ferrari, is now available at $50.5 million; and a couple of homes are set to hit the market soon with price tags of about $75 million and $100 million, respectively.
