For Just $4m You Can Live In A Castle Just Outside The City

For $3.95 million, you can live in this perfectly adequate, (but nothing special) two-bedroom, two bathroom apartment on 53rd Street. Or! You can live in this castle in Yonkers that is the perfect mixture of French castle meets Eastern European discotheque. We know what we choose.

The castle at 170 Shonnard Terrace (known as Greystone Court) is currently owned by Kohle Yohannan, a writer and museum curator, who bought the home when it was a wreck in 2000 for $469,000 and proceeded to deck the bejeezus out of it. He imported actual historic rooms from Europe (from the 16th-18th centuries) and installed them in the castle, restoring it to its former glory. It has six bedrooms, seven bathrooms, eleven fireplaces, an octagonal ballroom with Hudson River views, a formal dining room with a six-foot chandelier, a conservatory, a morning room, a billiard room, an observatory and — because you should pray if you own this house — a private chapel. Phew.

The home was first listed in 2011 for $4.95 million, but has recently been re-listed for $3.95 million.

Price $35,000,000

Amy Schumer Just Bought A $12M UWS Penthouse

,

America’s comedy darling remains an uptown girl.

Amy Schumer’s search for a new New York City home appears to have come to an end with the purchase of a $12.15 million penthouse at 190 Riverside Drive on the Upper West Side, according to a source familiar with the deal.

The duplex, a 4,500-square-foot, five-bedroom home, is perched atop a turn of the century building and features a wall of glass doors, coffered glass ceilings, a custom stone and glass gas fireplace, a wrap around terrace and a separate bedroom wing.

The comedian and actress appears to have gotten a sweet deal, since the property was first listed for $18.9 million last April.

The digs are certainly a massive step up from Schumer’s old home, a townhouse apartment on West 80th Street that’s currently on the market for $1.63 million with broker Adam Modlin .

Schumer and boyfriend Ben Hanisch have reportedly been scouting new properties for over a month, and also checked out a $15 million mansion at 352 Riverside Drive.

Though it’s unclear if Hanisch is moving into the building with Schumer, he should count himself lucky that it has two floors.

“I’ve been here for two and a half years and for a while had my comedian boyfriend move in with me, but sharing a studio is a bad idea,” she told Brick Underground in 2011 of her first Upper West Side pad. “We broke up for a month just because of that and we are now happily together living separately. I don’t think I ever want to share an apartment with anyone again, although it would be nice if he lived upstairs.”

Lisa Lippman and Scott Moore of Brown Harris Stevens had the Riverside listing. Lippman declined to confirm the deal, and a representative for Schumer did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

This pad comes with a private elevator landing, wood-burning fireplaces, oversized windows, Central Park views, and possibly most impressive of all, according to the listing, “being in the apartment makes one happy.”

Gwen Stefani & Gavin Rossdale’s $35M Home

The ink on Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale’s divorce papers has had a chance to well and truly dry since April, so it’s not surprising that the pair’s home in the Beverly Hills Post Office area has hit the market. The spread is asking $35 million.

According to Variety, the former-couple purchased the home – which once belonged to Jennifer Lopez – in 2006 for $13.3 million.

The seven-bedroom house, which is set in a 24-hour guard gated community with its own gates and private drive, comes with a large pool, tennis court, professional gym, theater, views, privacy, outdoor kitchen and living areas, and multiple fireplaces. Plus there’s a house manager’s office, a guest house, a whole lot of marble, and some very, very quirky interiors.

Variety report that they’ve yet to discover if Stefani has found new digs, but note she has been on the hunt. Rossdale though, shelled out $7.6 million in May for a six-bedroom bachelor pad in the hills above Studio City.

Address 12 East 96th Street
Price $19,500,000
Type/Size Townhouse: 14 bedrooms and 17 bathrooms
This 17,400-square-foot townhouse isn’t just the most expensive listing of the week, we’d hazard a guess that it’s the biggest too. Built in 1916 by Ogden Codman, Jr., it was once home to Robert Livingston, a blue-blooded American financier, but since 1990 the house has been home to the Italian international school, La Scuola d’Italia Guglielmo Marconi. It comes with seven stories, an elevator, a wood paneled ballroom, seven fireplaces, high ceilings, and a garden.

Address 178 East 94th Street
Price $18,000,000
Type/Size Townhouse: six bedrooms and six bathrooms
Upper East Side townhouses reign supreme this week. There is an unfortunate lack of listing photos for this spread, but we do know the home took two years to design and build, and that is has herringbone oak floors, paneled doors, and grand moldings throughout, along with a garage, a large elevator, and a roof terrace.

56 East 66th Street

Address 56 East 66th Street
Price $17,950,000
Type/Size Townhouse: five bedrooms and five bathrooms
This spread offers a chance to live next door to Andy Warhol’s former home, which is quite a selling point if you ask us! The listing though, seems to suggest work is needed to get the home up to the standards of the renderings provided, and the word “potential” is used more than once.

Address 1 Central Park South #1801
Price $17,900,000
Type/Size Condo: four bedrooms and three-and-a-half bathrooms

This week’s most expensive listing is the very cool Police Building penthouse, its not new to the market, nor does it have a new price-tag, but it does have a new broker.

Address 25 Columbus Circle #67CE

Address 150 Central Park South #2501
Price $16,000,000
Type/Size Co-op: three bedrooms and three-and-a-half bathrooms

It has a library with custom cabinetry, a private elevator landing, and 45 feet of windows and terraces looking out directly onto Central Park.

1060 Fifth Avenue #2B

$32M Texas Mega Mansion Has a Waterpark & Much More

This Dallas, Texas mansion, currently on the market for $32,347,000, is our new favorite mansion and it’s not even close.

The residence itself would be enough to be worth highlighting, with its eight bedrooms, 17.5 bathrooms (17.5 bathrooms!), many ornate chandeliers, fireplaces, gilding, full-size indoor basketball court, multiple game rooms (including at least one bowling alley), ten-car garage, et cetera, et cetera. And that’s before you even get to the backyard.

Because in the backyard, you see, there is a waterpark. A genuine waterpark, with a huge waterslide, jungle gym-type thing, waterfall, fake rock formation, large pool, two cabanas, and a whole bunch of palm trees. There’s also a tennis court and an in-ground trampoline, which is not something that we are sure we’ve seen before.

This is truly the mullet of mansions: business in the front (more or less), and definitely one hundred percent party in the back.

Bethenny Frankel Lists Large Tribeca Loft

,

Bethenny Frankel, “Real Housewives of New York City” star and outspoken founder of the Skinny Girl empire, finalized her divorce from ex-husband Jason Hoppy over the summer after four long years. Perhaps the most contentious part of the legal battle was that he remained in the Tribeca loft that she purchased in 2011 for just under $5 million while she hotel-hopped (she notoriously referred to herself as “the richest homeless person in Manhattan”). But things seem to be turning around for Frankel; she bought and renovated a $4.2 million Soho loft back in April 2015, and she’s now finally listed the Tribeca condo for an impressive $6.95 million, reports Variety. The four-bedroom corner spread at 195 Hudson Street is cool and contemporary and boasts luxe details such as a 180-bottle wine fridge, decked-out closet/dressing room, and totally custom office (which made many an appearance on the Bravo reality show).

A polished nickel entryway leads to the large living/dining room and kitchen, which is outfitted with sleek white Poggen Pohl cabinetry, Ceasarstone counters, and high-end appliances including an InSinkErator, full-size wine fridge, and built-in espresso machine. Throughout, you’ll find nearly 12-foot ceilings, heroic columns, and hardwood floors.

The master suite has a walk-in dressing room with an entire wall of closets. The master bath has dual sinks, a Toto toilet and bidet, soaking tub, and steam shower.

The other two bedrooms are connected by a Jack-and-Jill bath.

Other features of the loft include a laundry room and private storage room on the same floor, manual solar shades, and a deeded private indoor parking spot.

Not surprisingly, the listing is held by Fredrik Eklund and John Gomes of Bravo’s other hit “Million Dollar Listing.” We’d bet that Frankel and her loft will be appearing on the next season.

Kylie Jenner Adds $12M Mansion To Her Ever Expanding Portfolio

According to Trulia, the 19-year-old has just snapped up another home in Hidden Hills, California. The mansion, which was listed for $12.4 million, is her third real estate purchase since May, and by far the most expensive.

Built in 2015, the eight bedroom, Cape Cod style home spans 13,200 square feet and sits on 1.4-acres. It comes with a gourmet kitchen, a home theater, sliding walls of glass, a game room, wine storage, a gym, a massage room, a pool, and a spa.

Plus there’s a private one-bedroom guest house with a kitchenette, sitting room, separate entrance, and courtyard.

This recent acquisition joins the $6 million Hidden Hills spread Jenner bought back in May, along with the neighboring $4.5 million home she nabbed in August.

Plus there’s the property she still owns in the nearby gated Calabasas community. That one’s on the market for $3.9 million.

We can’t wait to see how much of Hidden Hills the youngest member of the Jenner/Kardashian clan will own before she turns 21.

Marc and Rory Shevin of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices had the listing. [Trulia]

Address 35 East 76th Street 1901-1907

Type/Size Co-op
This is by far the oddest unit we’ve seen for a while. According to the listing, for the past two years, this spread has been on the receiving end of, “an extensive amount of design and architectural planning to create a clean white space.” The spread currently comes with… not much at all besides some Central Park views and a lot of bare walls. We can’t help but wonder what it looked like before.

Park Avenue Apartment Proves That Beautiful Things Come In Tiny Packages

,

Most tiny New York apartments are terrifying. But in the right hands, they can be turned into something amazing. That’s the case for this Park Avenue South condo, which is owned by interior designer Amir Khamneipur and which he listed today for $1.775 million.

Though the place comes in at less than 700 square feet (669 to be exact), cleverly placed windows and mirrors make it seem much, much bigger. The home was featured in the July issue of “House, Beautiful” and a 2014 article in the “Wall Street Journal,” where Khamneipur described all the tips and tricks he used to give the small apartment the feeling of space.  “I would rather live in a custom jewel box than a badly designed mansion,” he told “House, Beautiful.” “This apartment brings me such joy.”

The apartment has one bedroom, one and a half bathrooms, 14-foot ceilings, 10-foot doors and custom, double-height cabinetry. Everything in the space was custom-designed by Khamneipur, and listing agent Claudia Saez-Fromm of Town Residential tellsLLNYC that a buyer may be able to negotiate with Khamneipur to include the furniture with the sale.

Saez-Fromm says Khamneipur decided to sell because he received  interest in the apartment after the “House, Beautiful” piece and he wants to upgrade to a two-bedroom.

This Week’s 5 Most Expensive Listings

In the past seven days, 20 new listings priced at $10 million and above hit the market, according to StreetEasy. From that list, these are the crème de la crème, otherwise known as the five most expensive residential listings to hit the Manhattan market.

Address 50 East 69th Street
Price $72,000,000

This week’s most expensive listing is a gargantuan 21,070 square foot Upper East Side townhouse in need of a little TLC. Formerly the Center for Specialty Care, an outpatient facility for plastic surgery, the home was built in 1917 by the cotton tycoon Otto Louis Dommerich, who demolished two houses in order to build this 44-foot wide spread. It comes with three elevators, 14 fireplaces and a stained glass dome at the top of the curved main staircase.

269 West 11th Street

Address 269 West 11th Street
Price $26,000,000

Built in 1836 it has high ceilings, multiple fireplaces and grand proportions.

With 50-feet of Fifth Avenue frontage, it’s not surprising that this sizable co-op has impressive Central Park views (even if they do seem to be obstructed by scaffolding in the listing photos). It comes with a bedroom wing, a formal dining room, a library, staff quarters and we’re sort of in love with its old school charm.

Address 53 West 53rd Street #50A

This co-op made headlines last week thanks to its owner – billionaire media mogul David Geffen. His 5,000-square-foot apartment was designed by Charles Gwathmey and comes with Central Park views, a chef’s kitchen, an oversized great room, and a sound proofed screening room with a state-of-the-art projectionist booth. Geffen is reportedly moving because he has finished renovating another apartment in the building — likely the co-op he purchased in 2012 for $54 million.

Hamptons Spotlight Listing: 10 HOLLY LANE WATER MILL SOUTH, NEW YORK

WATER MILL SOUTH ESTATE Elegance defines this meticulously designed and constructed Water Mill estate section jewel.

The park-like private setting and mature landscaping are a tribute to historic Hamptons estates, framed by giant Cherry, Ginko and other specimen trees.

The classic architecture combines with striking Belgian-inspired modern interiors, echoing the study in subtle contrasts that unfolds throughout the home.

Enormous custom windows and glass doors provide broad views of the gorgeous grounds from every sight line, connecting the interior space with the outdoors in a uniquely modern way. Expansive covered and open-air patios combine with a 50-foot pergola to allow for spectacular outdoor entertaining. This is a one-of-a-kind custom property.

This Week’s 5 Most Expensive Listings

Here’s our look at the five most expensive residential listings to hit StreetEasy in the past seven days — the crème de la crème of the Manhattan market this week.

21 East 66th Street #7FLR

Address 21 East 66th Street #7FLR
Price $14,350,000
Type/Size Condo: three bedrooms and four-and-a-half bathrooms
This week’s most expensive listing is a full-floor unit at 21 East 66th Street, a home which is described as, “befitting for royalty or the like.” The listing photos provided focus very specifically on the apartment’s finishes so we can’t judge for ourselves quite how lavish the spread actually is – but we can say the tiling is superb.

251 East 61st Street

Address 251 East 61st Street
Price $14,250,000
Type/Size Townhouse: five bedrooms and five bathrooms
The second most expensive listing this week is a two-fer; one 5,000-square-foot townhouse plus a 1,148 square foot finished coach house. The two are connected by a private underground passageway. Besides two houses the spread comes with a wine room, a roof deck and an elevator.

1175 Park Avenue 12FLR-1/2A

Address 1175 Park Avenue 12FLR-1/2A
Price $9,950,000
Type/Size Co-op: five bedrooms and four-and-a-half bathrooms
At 1175 Park Avenue is this 12 room residence. Spread across over 4,400 square feet, it comes with a private elevator landing, a formal dining room, a children’s play room, a private maid’s quarters, and a paneled library with a 24-karat gold leaf ceiling.

120 East End Avenue #10B

Address 120 East End Avenue #10B
Price $9,500,000
Type/Size Co-op: four bedrooms and three-and-a-half bathrooms
This 4,100 square foot corner spread has been “exquisitely renovated,” according to the listing. It comes with East River views, marble mantelpieces, an eat-in kitchen, and a library. But we like the wooden herringbone floors most of all.

20 West 53rd Street #29A

Address 20 West 53rd Street #29A
Price $9,350,000
Type/Size Condo: three bedrooms and three-and-a-half bathrooms
Set inside the Baccarat Hotel & Residences, this 2,303-square-foot spread benefits most those swanky hotel amenities. But beyond the bar, restaurant, spa and fitness center, this apartment has floor-to-ceiling windows, Central Park views, and a customized walk-in closet.

This Week’s 5 Most Expensive Listings

In the past seven days, five new listings priced at $10 million and above hit the market, according to StreetEasy. From that list, these are the crème de la crème, otherwise known as the five most expensive residential listings to hit the Manhattan market.

19 East 61st Street

Address 19 East 61st Street
Price $37,500,000
Type/Size Townhouse: six bedrooms and six-and-a-half bathrooms
This week’s most expensive listing is one of two townhouses that are a part of the recently renovated Carlton House Building – which started life as the Helmsey Carlton House hotel. The home’s listing doesn’t included any photos, but LLNYC got a good look at the house when it served as the Kips Bay Decorator Show House earlier this year.

20 West 53rd Street #47

Address 20 West 53rd Street #47
Price $23,800,000
Type/Size Condo: four bedrooms and four bathrooms
This 4,557-square-foot spread is the most expensive at the Baccarat Hotel and Residences right now (but not the most expensive that has sold in the building). It comes with floor-to-ceiling windows, stellar views, high ceilings, and all of the luxe amenities that come with living in the same building as the Baccarat Hotel. 

134 West 78th Street

Address 134 West 78th Street
Price $12,000,000
Type/Size Condo: four bedrooms and four bathrooms
Three seems to be the magic number this week; this is the third most expensive listing and by far the nicest place we’ve seen in a little while. Although currently a four unit co-op, the spread will be delivered vacant and we suspect that any future buyer will be very tempted to turn it back into it’s full townhouse glory (we would). 

132 East 65th Street #Ph3

Address 132 East 65th Street #Ph3
Price $11,900,000
Type/Size Condo: four bedrooms and three-and-a-half bathrooms
This Upper East Side apartment is in the fairly newly built Touraine building. Its interiors are designed by Stephen Alton, and it comes with a formal dining room, double crown moldings, custom lighting, and two private terraces.

31 West 21st Street #9FL

Address 31 West 21st Street #9FL
Price $10,500,000
Type/Size Condo: four bedrooms and three-and-a-half bathrooms
This Flatiron loft is another one of this week’s winning listings. The 4,776 square foot, full-floor spread comes with pre-war details, views of the Empire State Building, a home gym, and a very comfy looking sofa. 

Your new home awaits.
