An L.A. Home With Ties to Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, and More Lists for $7.5 Million
When David Fillet moved into this nearly century-old Los Angeles home in the Outpost Estates enclave of Hollywood Hills back in the 1970s, the doctor hired a historian to do a deep dive into its past, and what he found was intriguing.
Not only was the place once owned by Oscar-winning songwriter Jimmy Van Heusen, who was frequently visited by his close friends Frank Sinatra and Bing Crosby, but the original Dracula actor Bela Lugosi had also rented the residence in the early 1930s while his house nearby was being built. Along with a slew of other prominent folks, actress Yvette Mimieux was even rumored to have occupied the Maravilla Road property in the late 1960s.

Fillet picked up the estate in 1972 for a mere $138,000. Now, for the first time in over 50 years, the Spanish Colonial Revival-style property has popped up on the market again for $7.5 million, with Tom Davila, John Zaffarano, and Kennon Earl of Rare Properties of Compass sharing the listing.
Originally designed and built for retired physician and surgeon Frederick Dunsmoor in the late 1920s by lesser-known architect Adolph Semrow, Villa Dorada rests beyond gates at the end of a secluded cul-de-sac parcel spanning a third of an acre, high above Brad Pitt’s newly purchased home. Half a dozen bedrooms and seven baths are spread across 7,400 square feet of decidedly dated yet well-preserved living space on three stories accessible via a wood-paneled elevator. Period details include magnesite floors, an intimate “telephone room,” and the original intercom system.
The primary bedroom has a sitting area and access to two private balconies.

Among the highlights is the circular entry foyer, which boasts a spiral staircase and a massive wrought-iron chandelier dangling from a vaulted hand-painted ceiling. From there, a sunken reception parlor comes with a built-in bar and a powder room, and a spacious wood-beamed living room has a decorative tiled fireplace and a glass and wood-trimmed door spilling out to a covered terrace. An adjacent coffer-ceilinged dining room connects to the eat-in kitchen.
Directly below the main level is an exercise room and a primary suite flaunting a fireplace, a sitting area, dual balconies, a walk-in closet, and a fanciful stone-clad bath with dual vanities and a large glass-encased shower. The bottom-most level, meanwhile, hosts staff quarters with two bedrooms, a living room, and a kitchen, along with a fireside recreation room that leads out to a terraced backyard overlooking sweeping city lights and ocean views. There’s also an attached three-car garage out front.

Inside a Soulful $3.5 Million Contemporary Retreat in New York’s Westchester County
The late Nesuhi Ertegun, who passed away in 1989 at age 71, didn’t just leave his mark on music history, he also left behind a pretty spectacular retreat in New York‘s tony Westchester County. The legendary jazz connoisseur and co-founder of Atlantic Records’ onetime home in Katonah, has just hit the market for $3.5 million, listed with Sally Slater of Douglas Elliman.
Set on nearly four acres with sweeping views of the Cross River Reservoir, the 3,740-square-foot International Style residence was completed in 1980 and thoughtfully designed to integrate seamlessly with its natural setting. Airy, light-filled rooms connect to slender balconies and broad terraces, while the expansive gallery-style walls were considered specifically to showcase artwork. Ertegun, an avid collector of Surrealist works, famously had pieces from his vast trove exhibited alongside Daniel Filipacchi’s at the “Surrealism: Two Private Eyes” show at the Guggenheim Museum back in 1999.

Semicircular extrusions add movement and interest to the three-story home’s three-story rectilinear massing. Skylights fill the house with light, and walls of glass maximize views and lead to a series of terraced gardens that make the reservoir feel like a continuation of the living space.
The living room is anchored by a fireplace; the library’s floor-to-ceiling bookshelves speak to Ertegun’s love of arts and culture; an all-white kitchen has a span of butcher block counters as its only color; and the top-floor primary bedroom floats high above the landscape. Alongside the house, terraced gardens comprise flat expanses of lawn, raised flower beds, a swimming pool with a glass cabana, and a bocce court, giving the home a mix of serenity and playfulness.

Ertegun, who passed away in 1989 at age 71 after helping to launch the careers of legends like John Coltrane, Roberta Flack, Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles, and Led Zeppelin, was a lifelong champion of jazz music who co-founded one of the most important record labels in the history of American music. He also had a hand in creating WEA International, a division of the Warner Music Group that grew into a billion-dollar global music powerhouse.
Just 50 miles north of Manhattan, Katonah is known for its charming downtown, complete with galleries, cafés, and the Katonah Museum of Art. And with access to Metro-North, this house works just as well as a full-time residence as it does as a weekend getaway. Other big names who have called Katonah home include Martha Stewart, Ralph Lauren, and married actors Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds.

‘Game of Thrones’ Actor Michiel Huisman Is Selling His N.Y.C. Loft for $3.3 Million
In the game of New York City real estate, Michiel Huisman scored himself a real winner.
The Game of Thrones actor is parting ways with his Flatiron co-op for $3.3 million, and along with its ties to one of the most popular TV programs of all time, the two-bedroom, two-bath unit was once the site of the legendary 1970s after-hours club Cobra’s Lair that, being just a block away from Andy Warhol’s Factory, attracted an arty downtown crowd. Elise Ehrlich and Chris Pomeroy at Brown Harris Stevens hold the listing.
The high-contrast marble counter and backsplash make a bold statement in the kitchen.
Brown Harris Stevens
Along with portraying Daario Naharis on Game of Thrones, Housman is also well known for his work in Dutch TV shows and films. Records show that he snapped up the Flatiron spread in 2016 for $2.2 million, and he later undertook a renovation with the architect Elizabeth Roberts to turn the loft into a much more contemporary and light-filled space. Rather than an over-fussed set piece, Huisman’s loft leans toward the relaxed feeling of a casual home, blending modern design elements with original details like the seven oak-framed windows that look out on the nearby Union Square Park.
A huge door at the far end of the living room pivots open to the primary bedroom. The accompanying bathroom is decked out with a Zucchetti soaking tub and funky black-and-white-tiled walls. A walk-in closet completes the suite. Just inside the front door, a mezzanine space has been turned into a guest bedroom, although it could also serve as an office or creative retreat. Underneath is a ton of storage space along with some of the mechanical systems. The serene guest bath, meanwhile, sports a walk-in shower and a light-pink onyx marble wall and sink.
The oak-framed sash windows are original to the space.
Brown Harris Stevens
The open living area, lined with built-in cabinetry, stretches to 37 feet long and is topped by a 12-foot ceiling, making the magnanimous amount of square footage feel even more expansive. The Calacatta Viola marble counters and backsplash make an eye-catching statement in the otherwise minimalist kitchen, which is outfitted with a PITT Cooking stove and a Blue Star oven.
Situated in the neo-Gothic McIntyre Building, the co-op is a relative steal in the Flatiron neighborhood, home to several massive penthouses that command hefty price tags. Last year, for example, a seven-bedroom triplex hit the market for $30 million, and a few months later, a nearby penthouse listed for $25 million, with all the proceeds going toward philanthropic efforts in Africa.

NASCAR Legend Jamie McMurray Is Selling His Epic North Carolina Estate for $12 Million
NASCAR fans have the green light to buy a sprawling North Carolina estate from one of the league’s greatest drivers.
Set in Mooresville, a.k.a. Race City U.S.A., the 33.6-acre home on Lake Norman is being sold by none other than Jamie McMurray. You know, the winner of the 2010 Daytona 500 and 2015 Rolex 24 Hours at Daytona. After a prolific 17-year racing career, the Missouri native retired in 2019 but remains in the spotlight as a NASCAR analyst for FOX Sports and the CW Network.
McMurray, 49, hasn’t shared why he is selling the gated property, but his loss could be your gain. The custom mansion, designed by Charlotte-based architect Harry Schader, includes a saltwater pool, a detached pool house, and a private dock that stretches along the direct lake frontage.
Inside the sophisticated foyer.
Scrypt Media
With an asking price of $12 million, the home is tied with one other as Mooresville’s most expensive listing. McMurray bought the original parcel in 2011 for $796,000, according to records on Property Shark. He later purchased additional land to create his supersized estate, adding the main residence in 2015.
“Homes on the Brawley Peninsula usually have an acre or less,” listing agent Josh Tucker of Corcoran HM Properties told Mansion Global. “To my knowledge, there’s nothing that’s ever sold on the Brawley Peninsula with this kind of acreage on the waterfront.”
A coffered ceiling tops the living room.

Sitting just off Brawley School Road, the gorgeous Georgian abode is surrounded by towering trees that impart a sense of privacy. Inside, a sophisticated foyer with Versailles parquet flooring leads to a spacious living room with a soaring coffered ceiling, a fireplace, and a wall of French doors that open to the manicured grounds.
A little further in lies a kitchen with a large island, a gas range, and an adjoining breakfast room for casual dining. Nearby, a formal dining room with prominent crown moldings comfortably seats 10 people for dinner parties.

Five bedrooms and eight bathrooms are spread across the two-story residence. The primary suite spans the upper level, offering a spacious bedroom, a serene en suite with a showstopping marble-covered steam shower, and a walk-in closet. Three guest bedrooms are located upstairs, while one is positioned on the main level. Other interior highlights include a top-floor game room and an office decked out with NASCAR memorabilia.
The backyard provides ample space for entertaining: There is a stone patio with a built-in BBQ grill, a lounge, and a table for alfresco dining, as well as a sunken seating area with a fire pit for cocktail hour. At the center of it all is a huge saltwater swimming pool flanked by sunbeds. Sounds like the perfect place to unwind after a day (or nearly two decades) on the track.

Johnny Carson’s Longtime Malibu Estate Just Landed on the Market for $110 Million
Heeere’s Johnny’s house! It’s been two decades since Johnny Carson died at age 79. Now an epic oceanfront Malibu estate best known as the longtime home of the late-night TV legend has popped up for sale at a substantial $110 million, with the listing held by Chris Cortazzo of Compass.
The Tonight Show host acquired the four-parcel Point Dume complex in the mid-1980s for $9.5 million. Carson’s widow Alexis inherited the property upon his death in 2005, then sold the entire spread two years later for $46 million to billionaire apparel mogul-turned-film producer Sidney Kimmel and his wife Caroline. In 2019, the Kimmels transferred the place to venture capitalist Riaz Valani, an early investor in the e-cigarette manufacturer Juul, and his wife Augusta Tigrett, a daughter of Hard Rock Café co-founder Isaac Tigrett and Ringo Starr’s ex-wife Maureen Starkey. The clandestine deal took place off-market and was valued at $40 million in cash, more than half off the original $81.5 million asking price.
The property is spotlighted by a triangular-shaped home designed by modernist architect Ed Niles.

Built in the early 1980s and since remodeled, the estate rests on over four acres divided by a public road. On the bluff side of the property, a gated driveway leads to the triangle-shaped, two-bedroom main home, which was designed by modernist architect Ed Niles and is cleaved to a steep cliff directly overlooking the ocean. Another gated driveway empties at a three-car garage and a motor court with parking for up to 40 vehicles, plus a guardhouse.
The three-story, 7,100-square-foot primary residence is introduced via an atrium entry adorned with mature trees. From there, an expansive living and entertaining area topped with a 30-foot-tall wood and glass ceiling sports a sunken copper and glass fireplace surrounded by built-in seating. Doors spill out to a koi pond and an ocean-view terrace. An elevated dining room comes with a black marble-topped bar, and an updated kitchen is outfitted with a large island and a butler’s pantry.
A championship tennis court and pavilion sit directly across the road from the main residence.

Occupying the entire upper floor is the primary suite, which has a bedroom with a fireplace and a private balcony, along with dual offices, walk-in closets, and baths. The lower level houses a screening room, a wine cellar, a wet bar, and access to an ocean-view terrace, while the rest of the garden-laced grounds host a saltwater pool with a waterfall grotto, a spa, a sauna, and a cold plunge.
Amid the aforementioned parcel across the street is a full-sized tennis court and an adjoining 2,700-square-foot viewing pavilion holding a pair of guest suites, a fireside lounge, a full kitchen, and a sauna-equipped locker room. There’s also a guesthouse, a greenhouse, a fruit orchard, and an aviary.

Inside the Real-Life ‘The Summer I Turned Pretty’ Beach House—and How Much It’s Worth Today
With the finale of The Summer I Turned Pretty’s third season still fresh—and a movie now on the horizon—there’s never been a better moment to revisit the iconic Fisher family beach house. Based on author Jenny Han’s beloved, bestselling trilogy, the hit Prime Video series drops us straight into the golden, sun-soaked world of Cousins Beach, where Isabel “Belly” Conklin (Lola Tung) spends her summers juggling love triangles, family bonds, and the not-so-simple task of choosing between brothers Conrad (Christopher Briney) and Jeremiah (Gavin Casalegno).
The house may be a star in its own right, but viewers are still asking: where is Cousins Beach in real life? And just how much would Beck’s Beach House cost if it hit the market today? Well, here’s a closer look at The Summer I Turned Pretty home that’s captured millions of imaginations.
L to R: Belly, Jeremiah, and Conrad at the Fisher family’s summer house in Cousins Beach.
Prime Video
Where is the real house from The Summer I Turned Pretty?
While Cousins Beach exists only in Han’s imagination, its real-world counterpart is Wilmington, North Carolina—a coastal city often dubbed “Hollywood East” or “Wilmywood” for its long history as a filming hub. The house that brings Conrad and Jeremiah’s family home to life—known in the series as Beck’s Beach House—is tucked within the exclusive Porters Neck Plantation, a gated community centered around a private golf course.
Named for the late matriarch Susannah “Beck” Fisher (played by Rachel Blanchard), the property serves as the primary summer residence for the Fisher-Conklin family, hosting iconic moments from Fourth of July clambakes and fireworks to Belly’s annual birthdays, complete with Mickey Mouse pancakes.
The shows real-life home is located in Wilmington, North Carolina.
Prime Video
While the home’s now instantly recognized exterior appears onscreen, all interior scenes—including the kitchen, bedrooms, and living spaces—were recreated on sound stages, leaving the property itself a private residence.
Though fans cannot step inside the home or on the property, Wilmington offers plenty of ways to experience the magic of Cousins Beach. Carolina, Kure, and Wrightsville beaches served as scenic backdrops, while the Cape Fear Country Club and the downtown shops captured Wilmington’s small-town charm. The city has also played host to other teen dramas, including Dawson’s Creek and One Tree Hill, as well as blockbuster films such as Iron Man 3 and Scream 5.
Only the exterior of the waterfront home was used for filming.
Prime Video
How much would the Fisher family’s Cousins Beach house cost today?
According to online resources, the property last changed hands in 2011 for $1.5 million. Considering its waterfront location, generous size, and amenities, broker Stephanie Kitchens of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices estimates that it could easily fetch upwards of $3 million today.
Its Cape Cod–inspired exterior—cedar shakes, infinity pool, private dock, and 33-foot boat slip—perfectly captures the quintessential East Coast summer aesthetic Han envisioned. Production designers went to extraordinary lengths to bring the vision to life: several palm trees were removed, hydrangeas (Laurel’s favorite) were planted in abundance, and the grounds were meticulously landscaped to evoke a romantic Northeast vibe.
The house features a private dock and boat slip.
Prime Video
“[Han] wanted that Cape Cod look, so it had to have cedar shakes,” series location manager Lindsay Fort told People. Teresa Mastropierro, production designer for season one, added, “Our greens department literally transformed the landscape around the house. I think we bought every last hydrangea plant in the state. Susannah loves to garden, and there are always fresh flowers throughout the house.”
Author Jenny Han wanted hydrangeas planted on the grounds.
Prime Video
According to Realtor.com, the median listing price in Wilmington as of August 2025 was $500,000. Luxury properties, however, reach far higher: the Cypress House, developed by former NFL kicker Connor Barth, is among the city’s priciest listings at $8.5 million, with other standout waterfront estates asking between $10 and 12 million.
