Gilded Age mansions rarely come on the market but now this one can be yours for $80 million. So let’s take a look at what makes it special. Although the six-story building at 1009 Fifth Avenue presents itself as a custom-built mansion, it was actually one a group of four houses, 1006-1009 Fifth, built in […]

Someone who wishes to remain anonymous, sent me photos this weekend of the 9 East 71st Street townhouse when it was published in Architectural Digest in 1995 after they read my Friday Bon Weekend blog post. At the time it was owned by billionaire businessman Leslie Wexner who had architect Thierry Despont and interior designer […]

I really can’t believe that it will be August next weekend. Times flies when you can’t go anywhere or do anything. I jest of course. We can do things in New York but I have no desire to eat outside with people not wearing masks even if we are in one of the states that […]

Glover House

06 . 19 . 19

Another house I love on Main Street in Sag Harbor is just coming up for sale. The Glover House was built by master craftsman Benjamin Glover in 1810 in the classic tradition and flair of a true Captain’s house. In 1850, the neighboring carriage house was combined with the house for Glover’s daughter to live […]

Palazzo Nasciaro

I came across an article about Palazzo Nasciaro on House & Garden today and was blown away by its beauty. It’s actually an old story from around 2016 when the property was for sale but it’s still inspiring. British millionaire author Paul Golding bought the 18th-century palazzo on the remote island of Malta around 10 […]

Every time I look at real estate listings, I always wish I could go in and take better and more detailed photos. I mentioned to my friend Chris Kann that if he ever had any listings he thought I would like that I would love to tag along. My wish was granted a few weeks […]

One Sutton Place

I posted this house with the iconic blue door on Instagram last week and two days later, I found out it is actually for sale from the estate of the late Drue Heinz who died in April and includes interiors designed by Renzo Mongiardino. The classic brick Georgian townhouse at One Sutton Place was designed […]

If you missed out on buying Steven Gambrel‘s townhouse at 250 West 10th Street, you have another opportunity to make it yours. It was purchased by someone who rented it out to Courtney Love who wallpapered over some of the rooms and allegedly started a fire. Those rooms have been repainted and the home has […]

It’s not often that I get sticker shock but $125,000,000 for Salutation Island in Glen Cove, New York seems a bit steep. But let’s take a look at what that price tag will get you. “Salutation is an exquisite 46+ acre island on the North Shore of Long Island. The land was granted by King George […]

If a Picasso painting is out of your price range, you might want to think about buying the artist’s last home in France. Mas de Notre Dame de Vie in Mougins where Pablo Picasso lived and worked from 1961 till his death in 1973 will be sold at auction on October 12, 2017 by Residence365.com. […]

It was purchased by Delphine and Reed Krakoff in 2007 and was extensively […]

I posted photos […]

Andy Warhol Slept Here

06 . 26 . 15

Montauk has typically been the quieter area of the Hamptons due to its location on the very end of Long Island. That has started to change in recent years as people were priced out of other areas. Now finding anything reasonably priced in Montauk might be about to end as Andy Warhol’s old compound is put up […]

What my Instagram account is to the Upper East Side, that’s what Howie Guja‘s is to the East End of Long Island. I’ve been following Howie for years and love all his quintessentially American photos. I even introduced him and his family to my friend Alice and hers and now their children play together on weekends.  Recently others have […]
