    Tennis Champ Caroline Wozniacki’s Miami Penthouse Swings Onto the Market for $42.5 Million

    by

    Game, set, match. Tennis pro Caroline Wozniacki and her husband, former New York Knicks player David Lee, have served their sprawling Florida penthouse on the market for a whopping $42.5 million with Dina Goldentayer of Douglas Elliman. Located on Fisher Island, an exclusive 216-acre enclave off the coast of Miami, the waterfront condo is perched at the top of the 10-story Palazzo Del Sol development.

    The couple, who married in 2019, originally purchased the palatial pad back in 2021 for $18.7 million, property records show, and according to The Wall Street Journal, they upgraded to the penthouse apartment after selling a different unit in the luxury Kobi Karp-designed complex that same year for a cool $16.25 million.  

    The penthouse features a custom bar that overlooks Biscayne Bay and the South Beach skyline.

    Altogether, the 7,000-square-foot spread comprises five bedrooms and five full baths across its two floors. There’s an additional 5,000 square feet of outdoor space divided between two terraces. Goldentayer told the WSJ that after Wozniacki and Lee bought the residence, they went on to transform the raw space by reworking the floorplan and adding high-end touches such as white oak herringbone flooring throughout and a striking custom bar. 

    The lavish duplex opens to a dramatic great room with soaring 18-foot ceilings and glass pocket doors. The huge space is broken up into four different entertainment spaces, including a hosting salon, a bar area, a TV watching space, and a formal dining area. Elsewhere, the kitchen feels super sleek and contemporary. Here, you’ll find top-of-the-line Gaggenau appliances, a swanky dine-in marble island, a massive wine wall, and an Art Deco-inspired hood above the stove.

    The residence sports a private rooftop lap pool alongside an alfresco dining area.

    Of course, the aerie has a few aces up its sleeve. For starters, the screening room is equipped with a state-of-the-art Bang & Olufsen sound system, and on one of the terraces, there’s a hot tub and fire pit. The real pièce de résistance, however, is without a doubt the private rooftop pool, which has sweeping views of Biscayne Bay.

    The 47-unit condominium, which was completed in 2016, is positioned on the north end of Fisher Island and is complete with its own fitness center, movie theater, hair salon, and spa treatment rooms. The ultra-elite, members-only island is known for being one of the priciest ZIP codes in the country and has counted Oprah Winfrey, Mel Brooks, Julia Roberts, and Andre Agassi among its residents.

      Tennis Icon John McEnroe’s Former N.Y.C. Apartment Can Be Yours for $9.8 Million

      by

      The former Manhattan home of tennis ace John McEnroe has been lobbed onto the market, and you can score the athlete’s one-time pad for $9.8 million.

      The Grand Slam champion sold his Upper West Side co-op back in 2013 for a cool $3.1 million, and since then, the apartment has been expanded into a four-bed, four-bath combo unit, Mansion Global first reported. Located on Central Park West, the ESPN commentator’s former crib sits on the fourth floor of The Beresford, a designated New York City landmark. Along with Johnny Mac, the esteemed prewar building has played host to dozens of famous tenants since it was built in 1929. Most notably, Diana Ross, Meryl Streep, Jerry Seinfeld, and Diane Sawyer have all lived there, while New York Yankees legend Alex Rodriguez purchased a unit in the building in 2022. 

      The former Upper West Side home of tennis pro John McEnroe has been combined with a neighboring apartment.

      “What’s great about the Beresford is that it’s a building full of intellectuals and creatives of all stripes—from Fortune 500 CEOs to the creator of Sesame Street’s Cookie Monster,” Daniel Douglas of Corcoran, who holds the listing with colleague Eileen A LaMorte, told the real estate site. “While it’s undoubtedly a prestigious address, designed by the great Emery Roth, it’s open-minded and not stuffy.” 

      The apartment itself is accessed from a semi-private elevator landing that leads to an entrance gallery and entertainment area. The great room is decked out with a fireplace, and nearby there’s a formal dining area, a cozy library with floor-to-ceiling bookshelves, and a massive 25-foot eat-in kitchen. The latter is any aspiring chef’s dream. Think sleek cabinets, composite counters, and top-of-the-line appliances from Sub-Zero, Miele, and Viking. Elsewhere, the primary suite occupies its own wing and is complete with an ensuite bathroom. “I like to call the scale of its rooms ‘approachable grandeur’ as they are grand but livable spaces,” Douglas added. “Any bigger would be too much.” 

      The renovated unit now has four bedrooms, four bathrooms, and a library.

      The tennis Hall-of-Famer, who became well-known for his outbursts on the court, is also somewhat of a real estate mogul. The retired athlete and his wife, singer-songwriter Patty Smyth, have owned their fair share of properties since they got married in 1997. Most recently, the couple offloaded their longtime home in Malibu, California, for a whopping $29 million. The estate was tucked within the guard-gated Malibu Colony community and was originally built in the 1930s. Prior to that, the couple has a house in the Hamptons they sold in 2017.

      Tommy Hilfiger’s Former Connecticut Estate Hits the Market for $9.7 Million

      by

      Tommy Hilfiger has racked up quite the real estate portfolio, and now a Connecticut estate formerly owned by the fashion mogul has hit the market. 

      The palatial pad sits on over five sprawling acres in Greenwich, tucked away on a private country lane. Asking just shy of $9.7 million, the English manor-style home dates back to 1932 and has undergone significant updates since, including a slew of renovations in 2014 by its present owners. Altogether, the extensive spread comprises a 7,438-square-foot main house, a guest apartment above the garage, and a poolside cabana. There’s also a professional tennis court where former owner, Wojciech Fibak, and eight-time Grand Slam champ Ivan Lendl used to play—so you know it’s legit. 

      Tommy Hilfiger’s former home in Greenwich, Connecticut is up for sale.

      Inside, the brick-and-stucco abode is decked out with tons of period details like wood floors, high ceilings, preserved moldings, and decorative wainscoting. Other highlights include its four fireplaces, multiple patios, and arched doorways.

      While nearly all the rooms are impressive, the study is definitely a showstopper with its fancy plaster tracery ceiling. Elsewhere, the first floor holds formal living and dining rooms, a spacious family room with a bar, and a large chef’s kitchen. The latter feels super bright and airy thanks to all-white cabinets and countertops, and nearby is a beautifully detailed breakfast nook with parquet floors.  The second floor is where you’ll find all six bedrooms, with the primary suite occupying its own private wing with a sitting room, a cozy fireplace, a dressing room, and dual baths.

      The English manor-style home was originally built in the 1930s and has since been renovated.

      Realty Plans

      The manicured grounds are tough to beat, designed by Southampton-based landscape architect Perry Guillott, while the charming pool house, entered via a wisteria-covered terrace that sports two hanging swings, boasts two baths, a kitchenette, and a game area.

      Ellen Mosher and Julie Church of Houlihan Lawrence have the listing.
