A loft-style studio condo in New York that has been home to renowned circus performers Michael DuBois and Viktoria Grimmy for the last 15 years has recently been brought to the market for $899,000—complete with a rig designed for aerial acrobatics.
Located in Brooklyn, NY, in a converted chocolate factory, the unit has been owned by the two stunt artists since 2011.
The husband-and-wife duo’s apartment—though not quite as dramatic as the stages they perform on—is peppered with nods to their impressive career and offers soaring ceilings that mirror the dramatic height of a real circus tent.

In fact, the 1,222-square-foot residence even has a ceiling mounted rig once used for Grimmys’ aerial silks that now features a hanging egg chair.
The unit, with its two-story open floor plan, is tucked away inside the former Cocoline Chocolate Factory building, which was constructed in 1947 as a working facility, then converted into a residential space with 45 condos in 2003.
“In the building, floors two through five have 13-foot ceilings, but this ground floor unit has 17-foot ceilings,” says listing agent Emma James of Corcoran Bedford-Stuyvesant. “I think the next buyer will be someone who appreciates the incredible ceiling heights and incredible wall of windows.”
The industrial-style residence has a circular staircase that leads up to a loft area with walk-in closet.
“Upstairs, the space being used as a bedroom has a full-height ceiling and the main floor has full ceilings as well,” James says, before noting that there is ample “opportunity” for a future buyer to change the layout of the dwelling to better suit their needs.
“There is so much opportunity. It is built out as a loft and currently set up as a one-bedroom condo with a big walk-in closet and a wealth of windows,” she adds.
The two-story space’s wall of windows above the street allows lots of natural light to flood in and also gives the impression the space is elevated.

“Another great feature is that you can’t see inside from the outside,” she notes. “It also has more space than a new build condo.”
The flexible layout, which would be ideal as a rehearsal space, photo studio, or other artistic pursuit, could continue to be used as a creative space, provide a blank canvas for the next buyer, or create the perfect movie night with TV projector and custom blackout blinds.
“It is super convenient to get to Fort Greene Park from the condo and it is also located between Williamsburg and Clinton Hill,” James says.
A modern kitchen with stainless steel appliances and granite peninsula has a breakfast bar and separate dining area that flows seamlessly into the main living room.
The ground floor also features a renovated bathroom and a washer/dryer.
A $1,436 monthly association fee provides access to a 5,000-square-foot roof deck featuring Brooklyn’s first green roof, which would be a great spot for morning coffee and to soak in the panoramic views spanning from Manhattan to Brooklyn.
“It also has an atrium with native plantings and a gym for residents,” James adds. “It’s a really fun building.”
The Kennedy compound in Hyannis Port is more than just a traditional family gathering place on the affluent Massachusetts peninsula of Cape Cod. It’s now akin to a chapter of American political history written in cedar shingles and sea air.
The compound was first purchased in 1928 by family patriarch, diplomat, and businessman Joseph P. Kennedy for his wife, Rose, and their nine children, including President John F. Kennedy and Sen. Robert F. Kennedy.
He reportedly paid just $25,000 for the main house, along with the 3-acre parcel on which it sits—and which the family has dramatically expanded over the years.
For nearly a century, the waterfront enclave has served as the Kennedy family’s refuge, a private stage for ambition and grief, and a symbol of the family’s enduring hold on an American dream.
This year will mark the second Independence Day the family has celebrated since the October 2024 passing of its matriarch, Ethel Kennedy, widow of Sen. Robert F. Kennedy.
Much has changed in the Kennedy family since they first moved into the Hyannis Port compound nearly 100 years ago—and the property, too, has gone through many an evolution.

How much is the Kennedy compound worth today?
But at least one thing remains the same: The awe-inspiring estate is still one of the most valuable in all of Cape Cod, in terms of its monetary worth and its historic significance.
Few other properties in the U.S. boast such a rich political heritage save for, perhaps, the White House—and perhaps only a handful have been host to such a storied and high-profile list of guests, which, in the case of the Kennedy compound, include Taylor Swift, Oprah Winfrey, and Andy Warhol among many other luminaries.
The idea that the property might ever return to the market seems almost impossible, which also makes it tricky to attach a true figure to it, particularly when price tags for similar properties in the area seem to shoot up with each passing year.
However, Josh Judge, a New England–based Berkshire Hathaway agent who deals in waterfront residential properties, says the Kennedy compound would undoubtedly be one of the priciest homes to ever hit the market in the Cape Cod area, should the family ever decide to list it.
“In today’s Cape Cod luxury real estate market, the Kennedy compound would rank among the region’s most valuable estates,” Judge explains.
“Its irreplaceable waterfront setting, historic significance, exceptional privacy, and unparalleled presidential legacy all contribute to its extraordinary value.”
The property has witnessed many of the family’s happiest moments, including the engagement of John F. Kennedy to Jackie Bouvier. It has also been used as a refuge during times of great tragedy.

Another element that complicates the pricing process is—believe it or not—the property’s historic significance, which was formally recognized in 1972, when the Kennedy compound was designated a National Historic Landmark District and added to the National Register of Historic Places.
When it comes to real estate values, this designation could be both a blessing and a curse. While it adds prestige, it also restricts what changes can be made.
It certainly hasn’t seemed to be a problem for the Kennedy clan, which seems to value tradition and history above all else. But if someone outside the family wanted to buy the property, their plans for renovation and expansion would be considerably limited.
If the main house were still a conventional private listing, it would likely be one of the most expensive homes on Cape Cod. But because it is now tied to the Edward M. Kennedy Institute, the real market story lies in the surviving private homes, which would almost certainly command top-tier waterfront pricing plus a meaningful historic premium.
Today, the Kennedy compound is best understood as a three-house estate with different ownership realities. The main house is no longer a private family asset, and the other two historically significant homes remain tied to the Kennedy family’s use and occupancy.
Judge notes that when considering the luxury waterfront market around Hyannis Port, where adjacent or nearby estates have recently been listed between roughly $19.8 million and $21.5 million, it’s reasonable to suggest that a privately owned residence on the Kennedy compound would likely sit in the $15 million to $20 million range on the open market, depending on lot size, frontage, condition, and privacy.
But put them both together, and they might be worth even more. A fairly realistic combined value for the private portion of the compound would be roughly $30 million to $60 million, Judge estimates. The upper end of that range reflects the rarity of the location, direct waterfront setting, and the Kennedy provenance premium.
“Taken together, the privately owned portion of the compound could exceed the individual figures significantly, reflecting the combined premium of contiguous ownership, direct waterfront access, and one of the most iconic provenances in American real estate,” concludes Judge.
It’s far more likely that the remaining homes in the compound will stay in the family, however. With limited use of the main house, two other treasured family homes, and generations upon generations of successors, the Kennedy compound is likely to stay in the family for another hundred years or more.

Who owns the Kennedy compound today?
In 2012, the family transferred ownership of the original main house to the Edward M. Kennedy Institute for the United States Senate.
“This is what Mrs. Rose Kennedy and Sen. Kennedy wanted,” said institute trustee Nick Littlefield at the time. “That the house would continue to serve public purposes and be preserved for the American people.”
The main house’s reported value at the time was about $5.5 million. However, because it was donated and is now tied to a charitable institute, that figure is mainly a historical reference point rather than a current sale price.
The institute’s website gives little information about what the elegant building is being used for today.
However, the dedication indicated that it would be used as part of a “mission of educating the public about the U.S. government, invigorating public discourse, emphasizing the importance of bipartisanship, and inspiring the next generation of citizens and leaders to engage in the public square.”
The institute did note, however, that Kennedy family members who live on neighboring properties would still be able to access the beach through the grounds and have limited recreational access.
How the compound became the Kennedy family’s Camelot
The Kennedys might never have come to Hyannis Port if it hadn’t been for one pastime Joseph and Rose loved: golf. In 1926, and already a millionaire, Joseph went in search of a home near a golf club.
He explored a membership at the Cohasset Country Club, on the South Shore and close to Boston. However, he was iced out, reportedly over his Irish Catholic faith.
Instead, the couple found Hyannisport Club on Cape Cod—then run by an Irish Catholic—and the Kennedys were welcomed. They proceeded to rent Malcolm Cottage, as it was then known, and, in 1928, purchased the property for $25,000, according to the website for the JFK Museum in Hyannis.
After Joseph purchased the compound, he expanded the main residence, dubbed the Big House, to include 21 rooms, 12 bedrooms, a steam room, and a 50-person theater in the basement.
The grounds were upgraded to include a tennis court and pool. Touch football, played on the grassy lawn, was a Kennedy family favorite. Other recreation options were also available, including golfing at the local club and sailing on the sound.
JFK added to the compound by buying a home behind his father’s Big House in 1956. That property later became known as the President’s House.

Ethel and Robert F. Kennedy bought another adjacent home a few years later, and those three properties now make up the compound as it is known today: an impressive 6-acre expanse of prime waterfront real estate.
The family has been known to use the estate as a private refuge to escape the public eye—a tradition that continues with their annual July 4th gatherings.
Each year, dozens of extended family members—from RFK’s daughter Kerry and her children with ex-husband Andrew Cuomo to Maria Shriver‘s daughter Katherine Schwarzenegger and her actor husband, Chris Pratt—gather at the compound to celebrate the holiday.
Traditionally, images from Kennedy family gatherings were given to the media, offering a glimpse inside the political dynasty’s lavish lifestyle. Today, the images are shared on social media.
While the compound hosts many joyful family gatherings, it is perhaps best known as the backdrop for the Kennedy dynasty’s darkest moments.
It was at the Cape Cod retreat that JFK planned his presidential campaign in summer 1960, and it was there that his wife, Jackie, fled to heal after he was assassinated in 1963 at the age of 46.
Hyannis Port would be where Jackie crafted the image of JFK’s presidency as “Camelot” in the wake of his death, taking inspiration from his favorite Broadway musical and telling the media in her first official interview after his passing: “Don’t let it be forgot, that for one brief, shining moment there was Camelot.”
Decades later, tragedy struck the family again when John F. Kennedy Jr. and his wife, Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy, died in a 1999 plane crash.
The family faced more heartbreak in 2019 when Robert F. Kennedy’s granddaughter Saoirse Kennedy Hill died of an overdose at the family compound. The 22-year-old passed away inside the home of her 91-year-old grandmother, Ethel.
You wouldn’t think that media icon Kim Kardashian, Property Brothers Jonathan and Drew Scott, fashion designer Jenna Lyons, and reality TV star turned actress Jamie Chung have much in common when it comes to home design. But, as it turns out, there is one common thread uniting each of these stars’ personal abodes.
And, unlike the AD100-approved interior designers and architects that so many Hollywood stars rely on to bring their dream dwellings to life, the tie that binds these A-listers is actually accessible to the average homeowner.
The tool in question? A virtual architectural experience called Walk Your Plans, which enables you to, quite literally, walk through your dream home before it is built—or, at the very least, a visual representation of it.
At its core, the tech is so simple, it’s hard to believe that it hasn’t been thought of before.
Homeowners and designers who are in the process of putting together blueprints and vision boards for a renovation or a home-build send those plans to their nearest Walk Your Plans outpost—which then turns any renderings and specs into a virtual home you can literally stroll around.
When it’s time for your appointment, you’ll enter their cavernous space to see your plans projected on the floor and walls in real-life size, enabling you to walk through the property, experiencing the layout in real time.
This process is meant to help identify any early issues before foundations are laid and concrete is poured.

Does that door work in that particular place? Is the kitchen conveniently laid out for your needs? If you move that wall a foot to the left, can you have more closet space?
All these questions and more will be answered, and important changes can be made before it’s too late.
“You’re literally walking around shadows right on the ground. But you feel as if you’re in that space,” says Walk Your Plans founder Joe Matejka, who debuted the company in late 2022 and has since licensed more than 50 locations nationwide.
“The feeling as if you’re in there is really amazing,” he continues. “You have people engaging in conversations about how they’re going to rearrange their pantry, or where the vanity should go in the master bath—it’s really exciting.”
Just ask Kardashian, who, incredibly enough, found and engaged with Walk Your Plans in Los Angeles on her own, without being pitched or paid, using the technology to visualize a home she was in the process of designing with famed architect Tadao Ando.
She was so impressed she shared video recordings of her experience on Instagram.
“I really needed to see the scale of some rooms in my Tadao Ando home I am building and this helped me make the final decisions and walk through the entire home,” she wrote. “Shout out to @walkyourplansla for this technology. Everyone is dm-ing me asking about it.”
Her support of the project, Matejka admits, was more valuable than any ad campaign the company might have paid for.
“She’s got something like 344.9 million followers on Instagram,” says Matejka, incredulously. “We figured out it would have cost us about $3 million to get an endorsement and coverage like that if we paid for it.”
Not bad for a company that’s only been in business for a little over three years, and was inspired by a mistake.

Matejka and his business partner came up with the idea when they were building a six-bedroom investment property near Yellowstone, a project that ended in disaster even after they spent months passing the plans back and forth between them.
“We were doing what a lot of guys do, passing group prints back and forth on our computers, changing this, modifying that, blah, blah, blah for about a six-month period,” the Walk Your Plans founder recalls. “We felt like we had it locked in and were ready to go to construction.”
But Matejka and his parter were soon set to learn why warnings are so often issued about “the best-laid plans.”
After their contractor poured the foundation, the men flew in to see the dwelling and, Matejka reveals, “within 5 minutes of being on site, we realized that the great room wasn’t big enough.”
He reasoned that if the lodge was going to accommodate more than 20 guests, which was the intent, they’d need a massive great room. The living room they’d planned wouldn’t cut it.
“The joke is I wanted a great room. I got a good room. It ain’t great,” he says wistfully.
“It was too late to modify it by the time the foundation was poured, and we had to live with it,” he says. “I mean, it rents fine—I don’t want to mislead you. But it certainly could have been better if we had a bigger great room.”
Matejka started thinking that it could have been so much easier to discern the flaws if he had been able to somehow walk the space. The lightbulb went on, he and his partners came up with a plan, they strategically partnered with Panasonic for the tech, and the rest is history.
A social media miracle
Many people come up with original business ideas, but selling them is a different story. The social media gods have been good to Matejka, and the Kardashian story is only half of it.
Matejka started the company in Cleveland, where he was based, and once the company was up and running, he began to focus on spreading the word via social media.
“I decided I’d hire a person to do social media,” he recalls. “I hired a woman here in Cleveland, and my thought was, we’ll get a little local presence—get the word out a little bit.”
Turns out they got more than a little bit.
“Seven days after I hired her, she posted her first viral video, and it got over 4 million views,” he says. “I wasn’t even sure it was going to work in Cleveland, so I said let’s just see how it goes in Cleveland after six months.”
Then his social media wonder woman posted another viral video that got over 37 million views. By 2024, they had hundreds of millions of views worldwide. How could they help but expand?

Hollywood moves in
The company’s connection to Hollywood did not actually begin with their celebrity clients—but rather with an offer to appear on “Shark Tank,” which, interestingly, they turned down.
“‘Shark Tank’ called us twice and invited us to be on the show, but I actually told them no,” Matejka reveals. “Then the Property Brothers approached us.”
That was an offer he accepted. Jonathan and Drew Scott have since featured Walk Your Plans on several episodes of their various shows, appreciating the way viewers, as well as clients, get a better idea of what they’re actually building.
Chung’s experience with Walk Your Plans was especially inspiring. The actress, who got her start on “The Real World” and then went on to star in films including “The Hangover” movies as well as various TV shows, lost her family home in the 2025 California wildfires and raved about rebuilding with the company’s help.
Matejka notes that discounts are given to victims of natural disasters.
American fashion designer, businesswoman, and television personality Lyons, who ran J. Crew for many years and became known as “The Woman Who Dresses America,” also posted enthusiastically about her experience with the company, calling it “a must go for renovations or home builds.”
How much does it cost?
While Walk Your Plans seems to work great for celebrities, does it really make sense for the average homeowner? Building costs are high enough as it is, without adding in extra bells and whistles.
But the cost for the company’s walkthroughs is actually far less prohibitive than their celebrity cachet might suggest.
The basic price for Walk Your Plans services averages about $1,000 to $1,500 per hour, and most projects can be completed in about two hours. Plus, Matejka claims his company can actually save clients tens of thousands of dollars if not more.
“You’re able to catch changes and mistakes in a preconstruction environment, where it’s literally pennies to make a change or a modification, versus when you’re already in the bricks and sticks stage and it’s very expensive,” he explains.
“At that point, if you find a mistake, you have to stop the project. You might have to demo it. You might even have to have your architect to redesign it. Then you’ve got to get those plans approved, then you have to reorder all of all of the supplies …”
Putting practical numbers in play, Matejka shares that the average cost of change orders on any residential or business building project once it has begun construction is about $2,000 per change. So if you want a window moved or the bathroom expanded or the roof over the porch elongated, that change order would cost you about $2,000, on average.
“The average client walking in makes anywhere from 10 to 20 changes,” he notes. “So if you put a $2000 price on each change order, you’re going to possibly save from $20,000 to $40,000 per hour, when you’re walking your floor plans.”
And that’s how you get exactly what you want in a home, without breaking your budget.
“You know, we’ve been open about 3.5 years, and we have yet to have a single end user come through and say, ‘That didn’t help me at all,” Matejka concludes. “I mean, it’s amazing, and it’s really gratifying too. It’s nice to know that you’re doing a business that’s really helping people.”
Comedian Pete Davidson has once again trimmed the asking price of his upstate New York home—this time by $255,000—as he makes a desperate bid to offload the dwelling so he can fully commit to his new life back in Staten Island, NY.
However, in February, Davidson made the surprising decision to list the home for $2.5 million, although he dropped his asking price to $2.27 million just a few weeks later, before slashing the price again in April to $2.15 million.
In the midst of that real estate roller coaster, the on-screen star was also facing a significant personal hurdle after reports emerged in May that he and Hewitt had split, just a few months after their daughter was born.
While the actor has yet to comment on those reports, it appears he is eager to clear the hurdle that his upstate home has created, with records showing that he has now trimmed his asking price for a third time, this time dropping it to just under $1.9 million.

While Davidson’s decision to list the home may have seemed somewhat out of the blue, the actor previously told Mansion Global that he knew he was going to part ways with the property, which sits on 6 acres in North Salem, just one year after he purchased it.
He joked that in 2024, he told Chad, a character he played on “SNL,” that he would be selling the abode.
“I told Chad we were going to sell it. He’s very upset. You could see it in his eyes. He’s not a man of a lot of words, but in his eyes, you could tell he was sad to go,” Davidson said.
However, the actor insisted that he is upset at the idea of parting with the pad, which is just 90 minutes from New York City, because the home is his “hip, funky, cool place” and holds many memories, including the moment Hewitt revealed she was pregnant.
The jokester revealed that he initially came across the pad when he was living in the hustle and bustle of New York City and wanted a peaceful getaway.
“It’s literally like living in paradise. The thing I hated about living in the city all the time was, I would wake up to so much noise, whether it would be garbage being picked up or people fighting or your neighbors or whatever’s going on on the street. In North Salem, I would wake up naturally, and I wouldn’t feel a thing. It was the most special feeling,” he told the outlet.
Once moving there, he adored the home so much that he made it his permanent pad.
“What’s cool about North Salem and the whole Westchester area is everyone pretty much keeps to themselves, and I really don’t get bothered up there,” he added.
Davidson also revealed that the home is the epitome of privacy, as it is an acre from the road. Built in the 1930s, the home has loads of vintage charm.

“I’m not a big fan of modern houses because they all kind of look the same, just kind of soulless and white. I added little things to it while still keeping its integrity and charm,” he told the outlet.
However, Davidson did do some renovations, including adding a guesthouse, movie room, pool, hot tub, cold-plunge pool, sauna, and screened porches.
“There’s a secret speakeasy—a wall slides open” to reveal it, he said. “It’s really fun, and it’s great if you have a family, and it’s also great if you just want to use it like a getaway.”
“Sun-filled rooms with vaulted ceilings, random-width pine floors and custom lighting. Walls of windows capture natural light and scenic views,” states the listing, which is held by Mary Dowdle of Ginnel Real Estate.
“Dramatic Great Room with floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace. Dining Area with doors to two decks with a fabulous water view. Gourmet Kitchen with custom backlit cabinetry, granite and stainless countertops and professional appliances. First floor Primary Suite with door to private terraced garden. Two additional Bedrooms, one with a loft sleeping area,” the listing continues.
The home was first listed by the Ginnel Real Estate brokerage in February for $2,495,000.
Jaclene Ginnel told Mansion Global that the home is the perfect pad: “It offers everything at once—easy proximity to New York City, absolute privacy at the end of a long gated drive, serene pond views from nearly every room, and the intimate charm of a 1930s cottage with every modern amenity reimagined. It feels light and fun while also cozy and charming, and the year-round lap pool looking out over the lake is beyond spectacular.”
Now, Davidson is looking for a home closer to his family.
Just last month, Davidson closed on the sale of his Staten Island apartment at a $400,000 loss just one day before rumors emerged that he split from his girlfriend.

According to a May 14 report by The Sun, Davidson, 32, and Hewitt, 30, are said to have called it quits on their relationship, just five months after welcoming their daughter, who was born on Dec. 12.
Insiders who spoke to the outlet alleged that the first sign of trouble in the relationship arose when the former “Saturday Night Live” star began offloading his homes.
“Pete is selling his properties, including his upstate home and his Staten Island apartment, to open up funds as they move forward and figure out their next steps,” The Sun’s insider alleged.
Davidson and Hewitt have yet to comment on the reports of their split. However, a second source noted that they are focusing their energies on their daughter.
“They are just focusing 100% on Scottie. Working out the best co-parenting solution is their top priority,” the insider claimed.
As for the reasons behind the split, sources pointed to Davidson’s hectic work schedule, alleging that Hewitt has struggled to cope at home alone while he has been traveling.
“Pete has been traveling so much for work, but Elsie was craving more support from him at home after their daughter was born,” said the insider.
“It was very hard for him because, obviously, he has to work to make money.”
According to the outlet, the comedian has been traveling relentlessly in recent months, and spent Mother’s Day in Los Angeles for the Kevin Hart roast, while Hewitt spent the holiday in their home in Brooklyn, NY, alone.
Newlyweds Tom Holland and Zendaya have embarked on their first official press tour as husband and wife, heading off on a lengthy international trip to promote their latest project, “Spider-Man: Brand New Day,” just days after the actor finally confirmed that the couple is married.
Ahead of the July 29 release of the latest Marvel movie, British actor Holland, 30, sat down with Esquire for a wide-ranging interview, during which he was asked about the rumors that he and Zendaya, 29, had secretly tied the knot.
The publication questioned the actor about a series of fake AI-generated wedding photos that had done the rounds on social media, asking whether they had caused any awkward interactions with family members who thought they might have missed out on his big day.
“No, because they were all there,” he responded, confirming that a wedding had, in fact, taken place.
The brief reply put an end to months of speculation about the status of the couple’s relationship—after Zendaya’s longtime stylist, Law Roach, claimed at the SAG Actor Awards in March that his client had already wed her partner.
“The wedding has already happened—you missed it!” Roach quipped to an Access Hollywood reporter, who responded: “Is that true?”
“It’s very true!” the stylist retorted.

While Holland refused to give any additional details about the couple’s wedding, he was happy to wax lyrical about his relationship with his co-star, telling Esquire that Zendaya is his “bedrock” and his “best friend.”
“Our business can present very stressful situations and it’s really nice to have a bedrock of a relationship that will stand the test of time,” he said. “We can support each other in ways that only we can, because only we understand really what it’s like to live this life, and I think that is such a luxury, because I just don’t understand how I would be able to have anything like that with anyone else.
“So, for me, I found my person. She’s my best friend, and I’m the happiest I have ever been when I’m with her, but I have also never felt so supported and safe, ever. Period.”
No doubt that connection will come in very handy as the duo continues to travel across the world promoting the latest installment in the “Spider-Man” franchise, which they have co-starred in since 2017, when “Spider-Man: Homecoming” was released.
The couple is currently traveling across Europe, where they have made appearances in Spain, the Netherlands, Germany, and Italy—but when their press tour comes to an end, they will have their pick of impressive properties in which to settle down.
While Zendaya was born and raised in California, where she has primarily been based for much of her career, and where she started her own property portfolio at the tender age of 20, Holland is British and bought his first abode near his childhood home in 2018.
What remains unclear is whether the couple will choose to set up home as husband and wife in the U.S. or the U.K. One thing is certain, however: They have a jaw-dropping array of dwellings to pick from.
The couple took their long-term relationship to the next level by getting engaged in January 2025—with reports emerging that the actor popped the question to his partner in an at-home proposal over the holidays.
Speculation that Holland and Zendaya were engaged first arose when the latter was seen sporting a very large diamond ring on her wedding finger while strutting her stuff on the red carpet at the 2025 Golden Globes.
Fans were quick to point out the very significant new bling, questioning whether it was indeed a sign that Holland had proposed.

TMZ then reported that sources close to the couple revealed the Marvel star got down on one knee to ask Zendaya for her hand in marriage during a “very intimate” proposal that took place inside one of her family homes over the holidays.
The insiders told the outlet that the couple was alone when the proposal took place, describing the moment as “very romantic.”
As for the ring, Holland is understood to have popped the question with a bauble from popular designer Jessica McCormack, with People noting that Zendaya’s new bling looks identical to the brand’s 5.02-carat East-West Cushion Diamond Button Back Ring design.
Although the source did not reveal exactly which home the proposal took place in, it’s likely the same residence in which the duo spent the festive season together—with Holland saying in December that he would be celebrating Christmas in the U.S. with his partner and her family, rather than in his native U.K.
“I’m going to be in America this year,” he said during an interview on the “Dish” podcast. “I’ll be with my girlfriend’s family, which is fun.”
However, the Marvel star kept coy about where exactly he and Zendaya would be staying with her relatives: “Where we’ll be is a secret.”
Zendaya has several homes in her property portfolio in which the pair could have stayed—having begun building out her real estate investments in 2016.
Meanwhile, Holland snapped up his own stunning property in West London in 2018, paying around $3.2 million for the six-bedroom abode.
Now, Holland and his wife have just one more query to answer: Where will they put down their roots as husband and wife? Her homes in the U.S. or his newly renovated mansion in the U.K.?

The musician and fashion designer picked up her first property for $1.4 million, a five-bedroom, five-bathroom Oakland, CA, mansion that is described as a “remodeled Mediterranean-style” residence complete with a curved entryway, which the star showed off to her 180 million Instagram followers.
On Christmas Eve 2016, she posted, “My first Christmas in my own home. I always wanted the big tree (it’s huge, honestly what the hell was I thinking), and spiral staircase just never thought I’d have one of my own at 20 …
“I’m so grateful and appreciative for everything I have cause none of it was given, none of it started like this … I’m just an Oakland girl, a daughter of two incredible teachers, with an amazing family who worked her ass off and got a lil lucky. Everyone have a beautiful holiday, from my home to yours.”
According to Architectural Digest, the 4,155-square-foot home has a chef’s kitchen, a primary suite, and a pool and spa in the backyard.
Expanding her real estate portfolio
In 2019, Zendaya expanded her real estate empire to a spread in Encino, CA, paying a reported $3.97 million for the posh property. The home sits on over 3 acres and includes hiking trails, a guesthouse, and a pool.
The home itself features six bedrooms, seven bathrooms, an eat-in kitchen, and multiple fireplaces.
The primary suite has access to a private balcony, a built-in tub, and a separate shower.
The place has served at some point as an investment property. According to reports, she offered the property for rent for $12,900 a month in 2019.
Zendaya snaps up an East Coast abode

In 2021, the star staked out an East Coast perch, picking up a Brooklyn waterfront condo in the stunning Quay building, the New York Post reported. She is said to have paid $4.9 million for the three-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom aerie in the new building.
An attractive amenity is the private entrance with an elevator that opens directly into her apartment. The swanky space features Manhattan skyline and New York Harbor views from every room.
Other highlights include an open, corner living and dining room, walls of windows, a chef’s kitchen, and a main bedroom with a formal dressing area and an en suite bathroom with a soaking tub.
Residents of the 30-floor tower enjoy perks like a rooftop terrace with panoramic views, a pet wash, and a fitness center.
Holland’s London dwelling
The “Spider-Man” star is understood to have snapped up his primary residence in Kingston upon Thames, not far from where he grew up, in 2018—before launching into a yearslong renovation in 2020.
Many believed that his decision to overhaul the house was a sign that he was planning to use the residence as a base for himself and his partner. However, they have yet to confirm whether that is the case.
Either way, the work on the home—which is said to have been completed in 2023—will no doubt have ensured a very comfortable setting for the pair to enjoy whenever they travel to the U.K. together.
Making moves

The couple’s decision to spend the festive season together with her family marked an indication that their relationship was growing more serious.
Holland and Zendaya first met when they were cast alongside each other in “Spider-Man: Homecoming,” and rumors soon began to surface that their on-screen romance may have turned into a real-life love. They didn’t go public with their relationship until 2021.
The “Spider-Man” movie marked Zendaya’s film debut. However, she soon went on to cement herself as one of Hollywood’s most talented stars with her role in the HBO teen drama series “Euphoria,” for which she won two Emmy awards.
She and Holland have been caught in each other’s web ever since their on-screen appearance together. In addition to being in a real-life romance, the two also co-starred in “Spider-Man: Far From Home” and their latest project, “Spider-Man: Brand New Day.”
In addition to their own international properties, Holland and Zendaya also spent some significant time in Boston, where they stayed while Zendaya filmed the movie “The Drama” with Robert Pattinson.
And it appears he was happy to fall into the role of stay-at-home partner during that time, admitting during an interview with Dish that he spent much of his time in the Massachusetts city attempting to cook nonmeat dishes for his beloved, who follows a plant-based diet.
“I’m starting to venture into a lot of vegetarian cooking,” he said. “My girlfriend’s vegetarian. So, I’ve been in Boston these past few weeks and she’s been working, so I’ve been doing a lot of the dinners, and they haven’t been great.”
Beal, 32, who is known to his fans as “Big Panda,” purchased the extraordinary property for $7.8 million in 2019, seven years after he joined local team, the Washington Wizards.
While living in the property—which features an incredible underground basketball court—the athlete and his wife, Kamiah Adams, enjoyed several major family milestones, having purchased the dwelling in the same month their second son was born.
Less than three years later, they revealed they were expecting a third child and even filmed a gender reveal in front of the property’s outdoor sports court, which Adams later shared on her YouTube channel, excitedly announcing that they were welcoming another boy.
However, in 2023, the Washington, DC-based team, which selected AJ Dybantsa as their No. 1 overall pick in this year’s NBA Draft, traded Beal to the Phoenix Suns, prompting him to quietly sell his opulent Bethesda, MD, abode for $9.2 million in November of that same year.
A Maryland mansion that was once home to former Washington Wizards star Bradley Beal has sold for $9.5 million.
Less than two years later, the property, which was built in 2016, returned to the market in September 2025 with a much higher asking price of $11 million.
At the time, real estate agent Robert Hryniewicki of HRLS Partners at TTR Sotheby’s International Realty, who co-listed the property with Adam Rackliffe, Christopher Leary, and Micah Smith, touted its most impressive feature: the one-of-a-kind underground basketball court, which he noted was unlike anything he’d ever seen.
“Oftentimes, homes have a half-basketball court, but this one is full-size,” he told Realtor.com®. “Bradley Beal lived there from when the home was built until 2023 when the sellers purchased it.”
However, even with the property’s oh, so special amenities and its impressive ties to the NBA star, it struggled to make its mark on the local housing market, with records showing that it underwent multiple price reductions—dropping to $9.99 million in February—before it was sold for $9.5 million on June 5.
Certainly, the home is perfectly suited for another sporting superstar, offering a wealth of wellness- and fitness-focused amenities that expand well beyond the indoor basketball court.
“There is also a hot tub, swimming pool, cabana, and green space to play soccer or other outdoor sports,” Hryniewicki previously stated.
“One of the key highlights is the indoor/outdoor programming that the house affords. It is on a flat, level parcel, which is very unique and hard to find. It’s also super private, surrounded by mature landscaping.”
Designed by GTM Architects, the 13,448-square-foot interior boasts custom millwork, designer lighting, high ceilings, and oversized windows. After the current owners purchased the property from Beal, they then poured another $1 million into renovating it and turning it into their dream abode.

“Everything on the inside has recently been updated and renovated, and is as luxurious as possible,” he added. “The owners have invested $1 million since purchasing it in 2023. It has the widest-scale appeal because it was built for entertaining but doesn’t live too large for everyday family living.”
Located in the Avenel Community, the four-level residence has an elevator for easy access to each floor. The grand foyer opens up to formal dining and living rooms. A two-sided gas fireplace is shared between the living room and study.
The gourmet chef’s kitchen has custom cabinetry, marble countertops, and an oversized island with a prep sink and breakfast bar. A family room with tray ceilings has a built-in wet bar and separate wine bar with pantry designed for entertaining.
“I think the next person will be a high-net-worth individual, who will likely use it as a primary residence,” Hryniewicki noted at the time of the listing. “Someone might also want to buy it as an entertainment or trophy property.”
Upstairs, a lavish primary suite boasts an opulent bathroom with a soaking tub, an enormous glass-stall shower, and two separate vanities. The stunning sanctuary also has dual boutique-inspired, walk-in closets, and two sets of French doors that open up to a private terrace overlooking the landscaped lot.
The lower-level “entertainer’s dream” features a recreation room with a wet bar, a fitness center, guest suite, an extra storage space, and access to the dedicated indoor full-sized basketball court.
Outside, the resort-style backyard also features a covered patio and firepit.
“The home’s address is Bethesda, which is one of the first suburbs outside of Washington, DC,” he explained. “It is also five minutes away from Congressional Country Club. It’s a true oasis, yet you are just 15 minutes away from being in the city.”
An architectural marvel that sits atop a giant boulder-like rock overlooking a lake in Idaho has hit the market for just under $10 million—more than five decades after the mastermind behind the property pulled off a feat of engineering brilliance to bring the vision to life.
The 2,190-square-foot “House on the Rock,” which sits on the edge of Lake Coeur d’Alene in Harrison, features enormous walls of glass that offer panoramic views of the water, making it feel like you are “floating” atop the lake, albeit without ever having to worry about motion sickness.
“It literally feels like you’re on a boat but you’re not moving. You have views all the way around you and it is so stunning, even on bad weather days. It’s just absolutely the best waterfront view I’ve ever seen,” listing agent April Gunther with eXp Realty in North Idaho reveals.
It is the kind of property that is both alluring and perplexing in equal measure; at first glance, it appears almost impossible that the home has survived on its rocky perch for so long without slipping into the water that surrounds it on three sides.
Yet Gunther notes that, while the property’s perch might seem precarious, it has undergone rigorous rounds of engineering that ensure it will occupy that plot for many years to come.
The house is anchored to the rock. (Inside Media Co.)The home sits on peninsula on Lake Coeur d’Alene. (Inside Media Co.)It feels like you’re on a boat that isn’t moving. (Inside Media Co.)
“[It’s] engineering. It’s anchored into the rock and it had to go through an engineering process,” she explains.
“Everywhere you look, you feel like you’re in the middle of the lake. The water is completely surrounding you. Normally you have quite a distance to go to get to the water, and with this, you’re living on the water so it’s a completely different feeling. It’s so hard to explain unless you actually experience it.”
The house, which arrived on the market on May 27 with an asking price of $9.49 million, has been configured with three bedrooms and three bathrooms.
However, its current owners—who connected the home to the main sewer line—have also added two cabins that each have two walls of glass and feature their own spectacular views over the water.
“They are so cute,” Gunther says. “They’re just little bedroom cabins.”
Though the home itself only dates back 50 odd years, the 3.5-acre parcel on which it sits—and even the rock itself—features a rich history that begins in the late 1800s, when the Fort Sherman military post was constructed on the shores of the lake.
“The soldiers there would board steamboats and go across the lake and there was just a kind of a platform that was built up on top of that rock and they would dance,” Gunther explains, adding the symphony from Spokane would also sometimes steamboat over to the site to play.
“The soldiers would bring their ladies and they’d dance the night away and then they’d get back on the steamboat and go back across the lake.”
There are views from every room. (Inside Media Co.)The land surrounding the home also has great views. (Inside Media Co.)The house is close to Gozzer Ranch Golf and Lake Club. (Inside Media Co.)Two new glass cabins are perfect sleeping areas. (Inside Media Co.)
After the military post was abandoned in the early 1900s, the site became home to a boys camp, until the land was purchased by the mastermind behind the house.
“He imagined putting a guesthouse up on top of that rock and that was what he did in the 1970s,” Gunther says. “He built that guesthouse and it has evolved a couple of times and it has changed since he originally built it.”
Plans for further evolution have already been drawn up by architectural firm Olson Kundig, which has crafted a vision for a reimagined main house and an ADU. Those plans will be conveyed with the sale.
The home site is more than 3 acres and has 320 feet of water frontage with a boat dock.
“The grounds behind the house are just flat and lush and storybook beautiful, so you really get the best of both worlds,” Gunther continues. “You get this beautiful land attached to [the rock house] and then you get to live in the lake.”
The property also includes deeded land within the ultra-prestigious Gozzer Ranch Golf and Lake Club, whose members or property owners include Wayne Gretzky, Mark Walhberg, Chris Pratt, Justin Bieber, and Kim Kardashian.
“In order to be a member at Gozzer, you have to own the property in Gozzer so there are very few waterfront homes with that access and availability to Gozzer,” Gunther explains.
“I really imagine this buyer wanting the Gozzer lifestyle but also wanting the waterfront lifestyle and being walking distance to the lake club.”
An extraordinary castle-like estate in Connecticut is bringing a dash of old-world opulence to one of the state’s most upscale neighborhoods—lending a rare sense of regal elegance to an area already famous for its over-the-top mansions.
Known as Loch Lane Manor, the striking stone residence has nearly doubled in price since it last changed hands in 2020 for $6.9 million, recently returning to the market for the lofty price of $13.5 million.
Set on 3.22 acres, the custom-built manor is located at the heart of a picture-perfect parcel in Greenwich, CT, an extremely pricey suburb where the median list price currently sits at $3.3 million, nearly eight times the national median of $429,500.
But even in a place where luxury seems to seep from every perfectly manicured blade of grass and every immaculately placed brick, Loch Lane stands apart from the crowd, combining old-world European grandeur with modern luxury across more than 11,000 square feet of living space.
At first glance, the home’s storybook architecture, with its stone facade, oculus windows, and handsome turrets, creates the impression of a centuries-old manor. Sweeping lawns and meticulously curated gardens only enhance the feeling of having stumbled upon the residence of European royalty.

(Modern Media LLC )Natural light floods the interiors, including in all of the home’s many living room spaces. (Modern Media LLC )
The effect is entirely intentional. Custom-built in 2010, the six-bedroom estate includes a main residence, guest cottage, and pool house, all designed to to capture the charm and grandeur of a historic property.
“The residence, pool house, and guest cottage are unified by their handsome stone construction and slate roofs, a testament to a level of craftsmanship seldom achieved today,” says listing agent Leslie McElwreath.
According to McElwreath, the property would be nearly impossible to reproduce today, at least not for an attainable price, largely because of the soaring cost of materials—including the beautiful stone that covers so much of the estate’s exterior.
“In the current building environment, the cost of reproducing an estate of this quality and substance would far exceed its acquisition cost,” the listing agent notes.
Inside, custom millwork, soaring ceilings, and elegant formal spaces create an atmosphere that’s grand and welcoming. Large windows, white walls, and carefully curated finishes create a surprisingly bright and contemporary aesthetic that feels fresh rather than formal.
A terrace that stretches the length of the home serves as a natural extension of these spaces.

“The expansive rear terrace spans the length of the home and is designed as a true outdoor destination, complete with a built-in fireplace and multiple areas for relaxation and entertaining,” says McElwreath.
“With direct access from all of the principal rooms on the ground floor, the terrace becomes an integral part of the home’s gracious lifestyle.”
Beyond the terrace, beautifully landscaped grounds unfold around a resort-style swimming pool and pool house. Recent enhancements have further elevated the property’s appeal.
According to McElwreath, the current owners upgraded the pool house with a kitchenette, and also refinished the lower level of the main house to include a gym, media room, bar, and additional recreation spaces.
Despite its private setting, the estate is conveniently positioned near downtown Greenwich, with quick access to North Street’s boutiques and restaurants.
“Perfectly situated for today’s lifestyle, the home offers the tranquility of a private cul-de-sac setting without sacrificing convenience,” says McElwreath. “This is a property that delivers a breadth of amenities rarely found in a single offering.”
A seasonal tiny cottage that offers less than 190 square feet of living space has bobbed onto the market in Cape Cod, where it is being touted as a prime investment opportunity that could earn a future buyer a very lucrative rental income.
Built in 1940, the minuscule Truro, MA, abode is tucked behind two other dwellings that are part of a larger compound—and are also available for sale with the cottage for the much larger price of $2.1 million.
But for those seeking a much slimmer slice of beachside paradise, the 189-square-foot dwelling, which is referred to as Unit 16S, can be purchased by itself for just $295,000.
Despite its diminutive size, the property packs quite the punch as far as amenities are concerned, boasting a kitchenette, a bedroom that is currently set up with two twin beds, and a full bathroom, as well as “exclusive use of a private outdoor yard.”
The adorable abode also comes with a sizable history. For the past six decades, it has been owned by the same family—having originally been built as one of 16 homes in the highly sought-after community of White Village Cottages.

“The seller has had the property in her family since the ’70s and possibly longer, and she also owns Oceana Cottages along Shore Road,” says listing agent Rebecca Pistone of Christie’s International Real Estate Atlantic Brokerage.
“These residences are a part of the 16-unit community of White Village Cottages. At one point, her family owned all 16, but these are the only three she owns now.”
This free-standing seasonal cottage is currently being used as an income-producing property.
“The next buyer will be someone similar to the people who rent it every year from May through October for $1,700 a month, who are seasonal workers who work in Provincetown,” Pistone said.
“It is a great house for seasonal workers and would also be a great beach property or a rental. There are no restrictions on rentals, so you can pick and choose the way you want to use the home.”
The diminutive dwelling comes with access to a private yard and two deeded parking spaces. It also features beautiful views of the beach, which sits just steps away from the cute cottage.
Pistone notes that the dwelling is currently in a flood zone, but says there are ways in which a future buyer can ensure the home’s safety.
“It has incredible views of the dunes and beach across the street,” she says. “It doesn’t have a basement, so it is on concrete blocks, but you could put it up on stilts to get it out of the flood zone.
“The seller does have a flood insurance policy, and the whole property is in the AE Flood Zone because of the elevation. A lot of the homes in the area have been built up on stilts.”

Buyers should note that it is located in a condo association, which means “you don’t technically own the land,” Pistone says. But “for $59 a month, they will provide trash removal, maintain the shared septic system, and provide winterization.”
A larger two-bedroom condo with “proven rental history,” referred to as Unit 14S, features 700 square feet of living space and is being offered for $629,000.
Highlights include an original kitchen, living room, and full basement waiting to be transformed into additional living space or guest quarters. It also has a greenhouse structure offering “creative potential.”
The third dwelling, Unit 15S, offers the largest residence, boasting a fully renovated 990-square-foot interior featuring three bedrooms, one bathroom, an updated kitchen, and a spacious attic and basement. It is being offered fully furnished for $1,149,000.
According to the listing, this home with a detached garage has the potential to be rented out during the peak summer season for $800 to $825 per night. It also offers the possibility to expand “upward with approvals.”
“This condo features brand-new everything and reinforced everything,” Pistone says. “It has a full basement and a lot more expansion potential.”
Pistone believes the move-in-ready coastal retreat with income possibilities and expansion opportunities will prove to be the most appealing attributes to the next buyer.
“The real thing you are buying is the location,” she says. “It also has deeded beach rights and is less than 4 miles from Provincetown, right along the bus line. It’s a beautiful spot between Truro and Provincetown and feels like a piece of heaven at the tip of Cape Cod. The future potential is huge, and people see the value of it.”
The storied Los Angeles property—which served as the “Annie Hall” star’s primary residence before her death—is also thought to have been the last major renovation project that Keaton, who died in October 2025, embarked on in her lifetime.
Keaton, who died from primary bacterial pneumonia at the age of 79, spent years meticulously renovating the Sullivan Canyon abode. She even penned a book about the experience, titled “The House That Pinterest Built.”
Just six months before she died, the actress had made plans to part ways with the property, bringing it to the market for the first time, with an asking price of $28.9 million, however that listing was removed just weeks before her death.
In December, the dwelling returned, this time with an ask of $26.9 million, but once again, was only allowed to linger on the market for a matter of months, before that listing was also taken down.
Now, records show that the property has once again been relisted for the much lower price of $22.9 million—with celebrity real estate agent and Bravo star Josh Flagg of Compass taking over the listing.
New images taken of the property highlight the meticulous design work that Keaton carried out during her ownership of the home, which was built from the ground up in 2015, using reclaimed bricks, as well as the foundations of a structure that had previously stood on the parcel.

“A celebrated tastemaker with an unmatched eye for design, Diane Keaton spent decades transforming homes into works of art, blending timeless architecture with warmth, authenticity, and soul,” the latest listing states.
“This extraordinary residence represents the culmination of that passion: a Napa-inspired estate that embodies everything she loved most about residential design.
“Much like the celebrated homes she restored throughout her life, this residence balances history, craftsmanship, and modern comfort in a way that only Diane Keaton could envision. This is more than a residence; it is the final architectural statement of a true design icon.”
Records show that the house is still registered to a trust that is listed under Keaton’s real name, Diane Hall, suggesting that its sale will be managed by her adopted children, daughter Dexter, 30, and son Duke, 26, who are overseeing her estate and are named as her primary beneficiaries.
Duke and Dexter spent several years living in the dwelling with their mother, who used the property as her primary residence after completing an extensive gut renovation in 2017.
Throughout her career, Keaton moved multiple times, developing a love of purchasing older homes, renovating them, and then selling them.
However, when she found her five-bedroom, seven-bathroom 1920s-era Sullivan Canyon abode, she explained that it was the first time she had considered actually settling down for more than a few years.
Keaton spent a staggering eight years on a gut renovation of the home, which effectively saw her rebuilding it from the ground up, a process that she documented in her 2017 book.
The book focused on Keaton’s newfound love of the photo-sharing site and how it helped to inspire her creativity when it came to the design of the dwelling’s interior. The renovation also ended up becoming even more poignant for Keaton as time went on.

While discussing the release of the book, Keaton spoke about how much she had grown to love the home. In one interview, she explained that she had struggled to ever find a property that truly felt like a place she could live forever—that is, until she came across the Sullivan Canyon abode.
She explained to Wine Spectator that she had always had “an interest in homes and the concept of home,” but noted that she had always struggled to “land and stay” because she always found something wrong with the property.
In the case of her Sullivan Canyon house, however, something was different.
“Something’s right, because I love it,” the actress said, calling the property her “dream home.”
The “Annie Hall” star revealed that her purchase of the property was inspired by her love of “The Three Little Pigs,” which her mother read to her when she was a child—and which cemented her dream of living in a brick home when she grew up.
Although the home is located in Los Angeles, Keaton explained that much of the design was inspired by her former New York City apartment in a 1930s beaux arts building, which she moved into in the 1970s.
“It was one of those remarkable apartments,” she said. “There was a window on every side. Everything was wide open. That was the beginning of my true interest in architecture.”
When Keaton finished the home renovation, having been first introduced to Pinterest by her longtime collaborator, director Nancy Meyers, she moved in with her children and the family’s golden retriever, Emma.
Like so many of her other property projects, the Sullivan Canyon dwelling features a distinctive aesthetic, blending the most beautiful elements of the original structure—including exposed brick and dramatic wooden beams—with many modern design features, such as walls emblazoned with quotes from a poem and enormous built-ins filled with model houses.

While the exterior features a very traditional red brick facade, the interior follows a much funkier black-and-white theme that carries throughout the majority of the main living spaces.
“The estate is adorned with thousands of hand-selected vintage Chicago bricks and a mix of reclaimed materials that define its unmistakable character,” a previous listing description revealed. “Cascading beams frame the kitchen and living spaces, setting the tone for a home that feels both distinctive and intimate.”
In the main living space, enormous built-in shelves have been accessorized with all manner of collectible items and books, while the living room has a distinctive white brick wall that frames an enormous wood-burning fireplace.
“Defined by soaring ceilings, abundant natural light, reclaimed architectural elements, and a level of craftsmanship rarely seen today, every room has been thoughtfully curated to create an atmosphere that feels both grand and remarkably inviting,” the latest listing crows.
“The home showcases a collection of reclaimed light fixtures, rich natural materials, and architectural details that evoke the character of a refined wine-country retreat while remaining perfectly suited to Los Angeles living.”
The kitchen is lit with huge skylights that accentuate the natural wood beams and bring a beautiful, bright feeling into the space.
One of the more unique areas in the home is a circular space in which the walls have been covered with the words from Gerald Stern‘s poem “Lucky Life,” following the curve of the room as it sweeps around.
Another quote can be found at the top of the stairs, where the walls have been covered with the words “Look, we don’t have that much time.”
An office room has been turned into what looks like a living Pinterest board, with an entire wall covered in magazine clippings, pieces of art, framed photographs, and an enormous black poster with “1948” written on it in huge white lettering.
The 45-year-old fashion star opened up about her past in a candid interview with W Magazine, during which she looked back on the many cover shoots she has posed for over the years, including one for the publication’s 2007 issue, which was captured shortly after she began dating Brady.
At the time, Bündchen’s relationship with the NFL legend had only just been publicly revealed—leading to a frenzy of media excitement—however, the model notes that, behind the scenes, her decision to relocate to the Massachusetts city with her partner actually enabled her to enjoy a much “quieter life,” one that was filled with reflection.
When asked about the “growing spiritual practice” she had embraced by this point in her career, the mother of three pointed to her new hometown as being one of the sources of this spirituality.
“I had moved to Boston and was living a much quieter life. Earlier in my career, everything was about achievement and saying yes to every opportunity. Over time, I began to understand the importance of finding balance,” she explained.

(John Tlumacki/The Boston Globe via Getty Images)
She noted that she learned how to “become more present and more connected” with herself instead of “focusing on external expectations.”
The model explained, “That changed everything—not only my work, but also the way I experienced life.”
Bündchen and Brady wed two years after that cover was published, in a stunning ceremony held in California in 2009, and the former couple welcomed their first child, son Benjamin, that same year. Their daughter, Vivian, arrived in 2012.
The duo lived primarily in the Boston area for much of their marriage, with Brady continuing to play for the Patriots until 2020, when the quarterback signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after his contract with the New England team came to an end.
For several years, Brady and Bündchen’s primary residence in Massachusetts was a stunning custom-built estate in Brookline, which was completed in 2015—and was later put on the market by the spouses for $39.5 million. They finally sold the dwelling for the much lower price of $32.5 million in late 2020.
Months earlier, they had purchased an extraordinary property on Miami’s Indian Creek Island—known to many as “Billionaire Bunker” because of its ultra wealthy residents—for $17 million, where they planned to construct an enormous custom compound that would serve as their primary residence.
The pair joined the likes of Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez Bezos, and billionaire Jeffrey Soffer in choosing the exclusive enclave as his home base—and promptly followed in the footsteps of their neighbors by building a dream dwelling on their newly purchased parcel.
Brady and Bündchen immediately began working on an extensive renovation of the existing property, essentially demolishing the existing structure to make way for a modern dwelling that took around four years to complete.
But what began as a marital home has since become a very spacious and lavish bachelor pad for Brady after he and Bündchen divorced in October 2022, with the former football pro taking the Indian Creek Island property as part of their settlement.
However, his former spouse has not gone far away.
Bündchen, her new husband, jiu-jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente, and their first child, now reside in an $11.5 million Miami mansion, which is just a stone’s throw away from her ex’s Florida abode.
“I had moved to Boston and was living a much quieter life. Earlier in my career, everything was about achievement and saying yes to every opportunity. Over time, I began to understand the importance of finding balance,” she explained.

(MEGA/GC Images)
She purchased the property in 2022, shortly after her divorce, and spent months renovating the abode.
Built in 1981, the five-bed, 6.5-bath abode spans almost 4,000 square feet on .4 acres. The magnificent mansion features soaring 25-foot ceilings, large living spaces, massive terraces, and stunning views of a wide waterway and Indian Creek Island—where Brady’s compound is located.
In fact, Bündchen’s waterfront home is located within swimming distance of his home.
Other highlights include a primary bedroom on the ground floor with dual baths. There’s also a home theater, an office, a gym, playroom, and large eat-in kitchen that opens to a patio and pool. The property comes with a brand-new, oversized boat dock. This home also includes impact windows and a two-car garage.
She also owns an equestrian estate in Southwest Ranches, FL, which she picked up for a hefty $9.1 million in 2023, as well as a second, smaller Surfside property that she purchased for $1.25 million.
Brady recently shed some light on his emotional struggle during their 2022 divorce, speaking out about their split in a January appearance on “The Herd” with host Colin Cowherd.
Addressing the timing of his split from the fashion superstar, the sporting icon admitted that it had a rough impact on his final season in the NFL, which he played with the Buccaneers.
“I had 23 years of [football] so I didn’t think I was missing anything, retiring. I felt like this is time,” he shared. “I always had a goal—45. I was 45 years old, I wanted to spend time with my kids, I felt like, OK, now it’s time for me to be at all my kids’ games. They’ve been to enough of their dad’s games.”
“My last season was tough,” he went on. “I was going through, I had a lot of, you know, just a personal family issue. And it was a challenge and it was very. … It just took a lot out of me in terms of my ability to play.”
Brady, who co-parents Benjamin, 16, and Vivian, 13, with Bündchen, has not walked away from the sport altogether, however, instead transferring his skills from the field to the commentator box.
In 2022, the “G.O.A.T.” of football signed a 10-year contract with Fox Sports that is worth a staggering $375 million and now sees him offering his expert observations from the sidelines of NFL games as the network’s “color analyst.”
As a result, Brady has had little time to kick back and relax at his palatial Miami property, instead traveling across the country to be on the ground when the biggest NFL action is taking place.
Gwyneth Paltrow has come under furious criticism after she appeared in a video commercial for a luxury high-rise apartment building in Israel—amid the country’s ongoing conflict with Palestine.
Paltrow, 53, takes center stage in a new promo for 51 Park, an upscale 51-story development in Herzliya, a city that lies just north of Tel Aviv, and is approximately 50 miles from the Gaza Strip, which has been decimated by the war between Israel and Hamas.
In the ad, Paltrow is seen luxuriating in a high-rise penthouse apartment overlooking Manhattan, complaining about early mornings as she prepares to go on a run through Central Park.
“Who decided mornings should be so early?” she laments, as she stretches and changes into a workout set, before stating: “Even my coffee needs a coffee.”
As the ad shows her jogging along the park’s tree-lined pathways, the voiceover continues: “Waking up for a morning run can be brutal, but it’s a price I’m willing to pay. Because once I hit the park, pure energy takes over. It’s hard to explain.”
Paltrow is then seen running back to the apartment building, where she changes and heads out for the day, while stating: “There’s a reason the world’s most iconic buildings are by a park,” in an apparent reference to 51 Park’s location next to Herzliya Park and Galil Yam Park.

The actress makes her way to a waiting car parked at the curb outside the New York building, before instructing the driver to take her to 51 Park.
“New York?” he asks, to which she responds: “Herzliya. Israel.”
Renderings of the finished project are then flashed up on the screen, showing two interconnected towers that rise up over the Herzliya skyline.
Though she did not share the video on her own Instagram account, it was quickly reposted by several other users, many of whom took aim at Paltrow’s decision to tout a luxury real estate project in a country that is still engaged in a violent conflict that has thus far claimed the lives of more than 69,000 people in Gaza alone, according to the Red Cross.
The ad was met with outrage from social media users, who branded Paltrow “irredeemable” for her decision to appear in the clip, while one person on X questioned why she felt it was acceptable to promote “luxury penthouses while Palestinians are being buried beneath the rubble of their homes.”
“This is a staggering display of indifference to the human suffering unfolding before the world’s eyes,” the X user continued.
It’s unclear exactly how much Paltrow was paid to appear in the promotional material for 51 Park, which is the latest project from Israeli real estate group Aviv Melisron and was designed by architect Avner Yashar.
Realtor.com® has contacted Paltrow’s spokesperson for comment.
The website does not currently state how much units inside the building are being listed for; however, The Guardian notes that other, similar properties in the area “have gone for millions.”
“Two spectacular and iconic 51-story towers, overlooking the pastoral Herzliya Park and Galil Yam Park, giving you the perfect combination of urban luxury and green quality of life,” the building description states.
The clip starring the “Shakespeare in Love” actress, who appears to have filmed the ad in New York City, began circulating on social media earlier this week. (51 Park)Paltrow’s ad was filmed to promote 51 Park, a luxury 646-unit development in Herzliya, a city located approximately 50 miles from the Gaza Strip, which has been decimated by the war between Israel and Hamas. (51 Park)
“Perfect location. International style and chic. Environment and planning of an unprecedented standard. Everything you need to live on an iconic level.”
The website further states that, when completed, 51 Park will be home to 646 “diverse” units that include “mini penthouses,” full penthouses, and other apartments with between two and five rooms.
Communal amenities being offered to residents include a swimming pool, a gym and sauna, a Pilates and yoga complex, a business lounge, a wine room, a cinema, and a “boutique retail floor that complements the residential experience.”
It is not known whether Paltrow has any plans to take ownership of any of the units when the property is finished.
Paltrow, who was raised by a Jewish father, director Bruce Paltrow, and a Christian mother, Blythe Danner, and she has previously revealed that she was brought up in a multifaith household.
In October 2023, after members of the terrorist group Hamas launched a violent attack on an Israeli music festival, killing around 1,200 people and taking a further 251 hostage, Paltrow was among a group of Hollywood stars who wrote an open letter to then-President Joe Biden, calling for the release of all those taken by the militants during the attack.
With the letter, the group, which also included Amy Schumer, Sacha Baron Cohen, Chris Rock, Katy Perry, Bradley Cooper, and Justin Timberlake, among others, launched a public campaign called #NoHostageLeftBehind.
“We all want the same thing: Freedom for Israelis and Palestinians to live side by side in peace,” the letter stated. “Freedom from the brutal violence spread by Hamas. And most urgently, in this moment, freedom for the hostages. We urge everyone to not rest until all hostages are released. No hostage can be left behind.”
The final 20 Hamas hostages were released on Oct. 13, 2025, as part of a U.S.-brokered ceasefire agreement.
However, the conflict remains ongoing—and Israel has been accused of carrying out a genocide in Gaza by multiple human rights organizations, allegations that the country’s leaders have repeatedly denied. The country is currently facing a genocide trial at the International Court of Justice, according to CNN.
A professional sports handicapper who made a multimillion-dollar fortune by betting big on major games—before turning his talents to consulting, helping others to claim their own money through gambling—is betting big on his Nevada home, having returned the property to the market at a significant discount.
Cody Vaujin, the self-described “GOAT of sports betting,” snapped up his luxurious Henderson, NV, mansion three years ago for $5.4 million. Located just 12 miles from the Las Vegas Strip, where he made his fortune, the dwelling served as the perfect investment for at least some of his impressive earnings.
However, Vaujin is now ready to turn his attention to a new lifestyle in Arizona, where he plans to raise his child, and has made the decision to part ways with the five-bedroom, 5.5-bathroom abode—bringing it back to the market at the reduced price of $5.53 million, eight months after he first listed the dwelling for the much higher price of $6.99 million.
The opulent 5,718-square-foot dwelling, which is listed with Ida Doman of IS Luxury, was originally built in 2023, but Vaujin has still carried out several upgrades to the dwelling during the time he has owned it, including the addition of a state-of-the-art home theater and an impressive smart system.
“It’s a smart home that can be controlled from a phone or iPad,” says Doman. “He also updated the home with electric shades.”

Tucked into Ascaya, which is a very desirable luxury community, whoever buys this home will have access to many amenities—in addition to those found inside the property itself.
“The community is very special. The world-renowned clubhouse has a beautiful restaurant and beautiful, big entertaining areas,” says Doman. “The pool is overwhelmingly large, resort-style, but it has lanes that are Olympic-sized.
“A few years ago, we did marketing for Ascaya and at one of the events, the idea was to put a big, luxurious boat in the pool. We did that!”
Residents also receive access to a gym and pool-side cabanas. From the clubhouse there’s a wide-open view of the famed Las Vegas Strip. Newly added walkways for bikers and runners, as well as parks and playgrounds, make this ideal for young families or active individuals.
The vistas that can be enjoyed from the home are also note-worthy, Doman notes, explaining that residents can enjoy “incredible open-sky views” from a variety of vantage points found in and around the dwelling, including “the balconies and the backyard”—even while you are “sitting around the pool.”
The listing also notes that the pool, with its waterfall feature and an electric fireplace, is a great place to catch the morning sunrise.
Meanwhile, inside the home itself, there are “soaring ceilings, a floating staircase and elegant lighting.” Two primary suites each have their own spa-worthy baths and custom closets.
Once a retractable wall is raised, one can easily move between these indoor and outdoor spaces on the first floor. For example, guests can flow between the kitchen and dining room to the outdoor pool and courtyard. There’s also an outdoor kitchen, an ideal companion to the indoor chef’s kitchen stocked with premium Thermador appliances and connected to a cocktail bar and dining space.
Despite being an ultramodern home, it also embodies a warm, cozy vibe. This includes the courtyard with its fireplace and mountain views, an ideal spot to hang out at or enjoy meals during the cooler months.

“It really makes a statement,” says Doman. Similarly, the living room flaunts a floating porcelain fireplace, which the agent describes as “warm and architecturally interesting.”
Included with the listing is a detached casita.
The owner uses it as a game room with ping pong, as a fun room, but it has a nice good-size walk-in closet and its own bathroom,” says Doman, noting that it would also serve as an ideal guesthouse.
Another flexible-use space is the massive, temperature-controlled garage outfitted with air conditioning. Folded into the garage’s layout are three spacious rooms for storage.
“For a car collector, that could be very important. It’s a six-car garage but you could probably fit eight or nine cars,” says Doman. “It has that state-of-the-art marble finish. It’s not the usual garage. It looks like a marble stone.”
Clocking in at 5,718 square feet, Vaujin’s home is “not as big as most of them [in Ascaya]—[which are] 8,000 to 20,000 square feet,” Doman concedes, but adds that his dwelling does offer a kind of intimate setting that cannot be enjoyed in other, larger properties.
“This one is a little bit smaller. It was designed for ultimate luxury for a smaller family or just a couple.”
As for the ideal buyer for the property, Dorman says the dwelling would be suitable for all kinds of residents, from small families to couples, to those with a fondness for entertaining. She also notes that many of the buyers in this area are from out-of-state—several of whom use their properties and second residences.
“We are a good fit for out-of-state buyers as a second home and also for small families to move in, or even couples that entertain their family and friends,” says Doman. “It has enough bedrooms to luxuriously give comfort to visitors—that first-level primary suite doesn’t get any better. All the bedrooms are nice and spacious, if you have guests.”
“Fifty Shades of Grey” actress Dakota Johnson‘s “extraordinary” midcentury modern Los Angeles retreat is already under offer—mere days after the on-screen star put the property on the market for $6 million.
Johnson, 36, purchased the “masterclass in modernism” back in January 2016, when she paid $3.55 million for the property, using a chunk of the money she earned from starring in the “Fifty Shades” franchises.
However, after more than two decades of ownership, the actress—who is the daughter of Hollywood legends Melanie Griffith and Don Johnson—made the decision to part ways with the picturesque property, listing the three-bedroom, three-bathroom abode for almost double the price she bought it for.
Now, just one week later, property records show that the dwelling is under “contingent” offer, meaning that Johnson has accepted a buyer’s proposed price and the deal is in the process of being finalized, albeit with certain conditions that need to be met before closing.
It is currently unclear what offer Johnson has accepted—and it’s likely that she and her agent, Ruby Fay of Engel & Volkers Beverly Hills will entertain additional interest in the dwelling until the sale has closed.

Originally built in 1947, the three-bedroom, three-bathroom abode was designed by acclaimed architect Carl Maston and is described in its listing as a “masterclass in California modernism where warm woods, poured concrete, and wood-framed glass walls dissolve the boundary between indoors and out.”
After purchasing the home, Johnson carried out an elegant renovation of the property, working with renowned design company Pierce and Ward to turn the dwelling into her dream sanctuary, a project that she later showcased in a shoot for Architectural Digest.
In the 2020 photoshoot, the actress proudly revealed some of her most precious personal items that she had filled the home with, including a note from her grandmother, Tippi Hedren, an image from her appearance on “Saturday Night Live” in 2015, and artworks painted by the likes of David Hockney and Harmony Korine.
Many of those personal effects can be seen in the listing photos of the home, which spans just over 3,200 square feet and was once described by the “Materialists” star as a kind of “tree house” because of the leafy trees that surround the property, which is tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac in West Hollywood.
Interestingly, Johnson’s decision to put the property on the market—where it is listed with Ruby Fay of Engel & Volkers Beverly Hills—comes just six years after she told Architectural Digest that she would likely “never want to sell” it, having fallen in love with it as soon as she toured it for the first time.
“I was immediately drawn to how it was clean but also cozy,” she told the outlet. “I thought, ‘I’ll never want to sell this place.'”
The actress added that she chose to buy the property as her first significant purchase after securing the role as Anastasia Steele in the “Fifty Shades” trilogy because she felt that “it would be healthy to have a base,” particularly as her Hollywood career was taking off.
“With my job and the velocity at which my schedule can change, it’s important for me to have a place to go to and it be mine,” she said. “Psychologically, I’m moored somewhere. This place is my anchor.”
Johnson noted that the property was the second she saw in her house-hunting journey, explaining that she not only fell for the home itself, but also its fascinating history, including Maston’s close connection to fellow midcentury modern pioneers Richard Neutra and John Lautner.

“Maston was buddies with Lautner and Neutra, and they’d all go to Musso & Frank’s together because there was a hostess that they were all in love with. Carl ended up marrying her, and this was the house they lived in,” she revealed.
Despite carrying out a meticulous overhaul of the home, Johnson has maintained many of the most awe-inspiring design elements from Maston’s original design, including the “expansive glass walls” that open up directly to the backyard and swimming pool, as well as the wood walls, exposed beams, and bold red brick.
Other spaces, however, had to undergo a more in-depth renovation, with designer Emily Ward explaining that the flooring on the second floor was originally made of cork, which she noted “wasn’t salvageable,” despite admitting that it “was really cool.” Instead, she and her cofounder, Louisa Pierce, replaced the material with more durable hardwood flooring throughout the upper level.
Johnson paid special attention to the primary suite, which features a large bedroom, huge walk-in closet, and an elegant bathroom that was painted in a custom pink shade inspired by a sweater she owned from Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen‘s fashion brand, The Row.
She also added a huge soaking tub at the center of the space, which features a large door to the outside—as well as large “double sinks,” which she previously joked were the “key to a healthy relationship.”
Meanwhile, the main living space features concrete flooring, which adds an industrial feel to the otherwise-organic space, creating the perfect mix of aesthetics.
Maston’s emphasis on blurring the lines between the indoor and out remained, however.
“The main living level is striking in its restraint: expansive glass walls on two sides open directly onto the swimmer’s pool, flooding the interiors with natural light and creating an effortless dialogue between architecture and landscape,” the listing notes.
In addition to the swimming pool, the exterior of the property, which sits on just over 0.2 “lush and layered” acres, also features a barbecue space, a fire pit, and several patios and outdoor entertaining spaces, including one raised perch that overlooks the entire backyard.

While the actress—who recently signed on as a new spokesmodel for Calvin Klein—has not yet revealed why she has chosen to the sell the property, reports emerged in October that she had purchased a new dwelling in the tony Los Angeles neighborhood of Outpost Estates.
According to Star Magazine, Johnson paid $5.3 million for a stunning Mediterranean-style dwelling, which was originally built in the 1950s but had undergone a stunning renovation shortly before being put on the market.
Property records show that the dwelling in question—which features four bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms and spreads across more than 3,500 square feet—was purchased via a trust that is linked to the same trust Johnson used to purchase the home she has now listed.
Both trusts are managed by Johnson’s accountant, Anthony Bonsignore, who also counts John McEnroe, Greta Gerwig, David Harbour, and Sterling K. Brown among his clientele.
In the years since she purchased her midcentury modern abode, Johnson has invested in several other properties, including a Malibu mansion that she purchased with her former partner, Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, in 2020.
The duo bought the expansive dwelling for $12.5 million via a trust linked to the musician’s longtime business manager—however they sold it for the much higher price of $14.4 million just over one year later.
Johnson and Martin, who had an on-again, off-again romance, finally called time on their relationship in 2025 after eight years together, with sources claiming at the time that they had been unable to agree on plans for their future together.
The actress has since been linked to musician Role Model, whose real name is Tucker Pillsbury. While she has yet to comment on that romance, sources told People magazine in April that the couple had been dating since the end of 2025 and that they were “taking things slow.”
Johnson’s mother, Griffith, did appear to give her seal of approval to the musician, however, stating in a video that was posted by the gossip account DeuxMoi that she thought he was “fabulous.”
A historic New York City townhouse has been opened up to the public for the first time in more than 100 years—revealing a fascinating glimpse at the incredible original features that have been painstakingly maintained since the property was built in 1841.
Located in Manhattan‘s storied West Village, the extraordinary four-bedroom property, which spans 3,450 square feet, has been owned by the same family for more than a century, during which time it has been “meticulously maintained.”
However, the dwelling has now been brought to the market for the first time, with an asking price of $11.99 million, in what listing agent Warner Lewis, the founder and partner of the Harkov Lewis Team at Brown Harris Stevens, describes to Realtor.com® as a “truly once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”
Images of the Greek Revival abode reveal a glimpse at the unique features that can be found inside the home, including the original wood-burning stove in the kitchen, untouched gold leaf detailing, multiple fireplaces, and—perhaps the most special element of all—an incredible two-story greenhouse that is attached to the back of the dwelling.
Yet there are also aspects of the property’s incredible past that are invisible to the casual observer, Lewis explains, such as its connection to the Underground Railroad.

“As a native New Yorker, I have always been fascinated by the history of the city and what it must have been like to live here 100, or more, years ago,” he shares. “My favorite fiction is historical fiction—whether it be ‘The Alienist’ or ‘Gangs of New York’—and when I’m not reading fiction, reading about the actual history of New York has always interested me.
“We have a major link to that history: 29 Grove St. was a stop along the Underground Railroad, and there are copious original details going back to 1841.”
Before the dwelling was officially listed on June 2, the Harkov Lewis team revealed a sneak peek behind its doors in an Instagram post that highlighted some of the other unique features found inside the abode, from a hand-painted blue-and-white porcelain sink that has remained in place since the 1980s to a vintage doorbell that “predates electricity.”
According to Lewis, the property’s charming original features make it one of the most unique listings to hit New York’s real estate market in the last two decades, not least because so many of its historic elements have been so carefully maintained—rather than being stripped out to make way for more modern amenities.
“In 20-plus years of doing real estate in the city, never have I had the pleasure of working on a piece of New York history like 29 Grove,” he said. “Every time I’m in the house, I see a feature that takes me back to a time we can only read about in books or see in movies.
“The historical details of this house are not to be missed and make it a truly once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for its next owner.”
While it retains many of those details, however, the house has undergone some updates, with the listing description noting that the facade of the 21-foot-wide home has been completely restored, while a new roof has also been added within the last seven years.

Additionally, the backyard, which can be accessed via the greenhouse, has been leveled to provide a more spacious and usable space.
“Thoughtful updates over the last seven years—a new roof and restored facade, cellar, doors, railings, rear chimney, and bluestone pavers—preserve the home’s integrity as it enters its next chapter,” the listing states. “The backyard has been leveled, creating an open and functional space.”
Inside the home itself, there are plenty of opportunities for additional upgrades to be carried out, including a significant expansion of the home.
“There is also potential to add approximately 1,375 square feet, subject to verification by an architect, allowing for future expansion tailored to your vision,” the listing adds.
A future buyer could also choose to reconfigure the home, which is currently set up with four bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, but offers ample living spaces that could be transformed for another use.
On the main story, referred to as the parlor level, an enormous great room boasts 11-foot-high ceilings as well as a stunning original fireplace and a built-in mirror with gold leaf detailing around its edges. That special design feature is flanked by two floor-to-ceiling windows that help to flood the space with light, while delicate crown molding adds a very luxurious feel to the room.
This room spans the entire length of the property and has been outfitted with two separate seating areas, making it the ideal space for entertaining guests. A long hallway leads out to a large enclosed terrace that serves as the upper portion of the two-story greenhouse, with a spiral staircase that leads down to the ground floor.
According to the listing, the dwelling has undergone many thoughtful updates over the years. (Andrew Brincka/DD Reps)There is an extraordinary two-story greenhouse at the back of the property. (Andrew Brincka/DD Reps)Beyond the greenhouse, there is a large garden space. (Andrew Brincka/DD Reps)
Downstairs on the garden level, there is a large kitchen, where an exposed red brick wall has been accessorized with hanging copper pots that sit above the home’s original wood-burning stove—although the current residents have chosen to add a more modern oven and stovetop for convenience.
Elsewhere on this level, a formal dining room with restored wood floors also houses an additional fireplace, as well as ample room for a very large gathering.
Beyond the kitchen, the enormous sunroom, which is part of the greenhouse space, can be accessed through the hallway or via the spiral stairs that lead down from the upper story. The greenhouse-turned-sunroom effectively serves as a gateway to the garden, where additional seating areas can be found.
The second floor of the dwelling is home to a large primary bedroom, with its own fireplace and a cozy seating area, as well as built-in storage, a large walk-in closet, and an in-room sink. This space shares a full bathroom with a second bedroom on the floor.
The other two bedrooms are located on the third floor, where they are separated by a large den. There is also another full bathroom on this story.
What the listing makes clear, however, is that the dwelling could well be seen as a blank canvas for more industrious buyers who are seeking to write a new chapter for the property, one that incorporates many of the extraordinary details from its earliest days.
“Exquisite original details include a gold leaf pier mirror, beautiful crown molding throughout, and stunning front and interior doors,” the listing description states.
“Historic details such as the five black and gold-veined marble mantles, original shutters, and the original wood-burning kitchen range showcase the home’s 19th-century character. Also remaining are the original cast-iron boot scraper and functioning bell-pull doorbell at the entry.”
