Trump Family Starter Home
President Donald Trump’s childhood home in Queens, New York, has landed back on the market, this time after a gut renovation and with a $2.3 million price tag.
The Tudor-style house was built in 1940 by Trump’s father, Fred Trump, a real estate developer, in the upscale Jamaica Estates neighborhood. Trump had lived there until he was 4 years old, after which the family moved to a colonnaded brick mansion around the corner.
The house is now owned by real estate developer Tommy Lin, who bought it in March for $835,000 and quickly began top-to-bottom renovations. The property had fallen into disrepair and at one point became a hangout for feral cats.
On and off the market over the last decade, the house had been priced as high as $2.9 million. It was even offered as a short-term rental on Airbnb for $800 a night, complete with a cardboard cutout of the president.
The nearly 2,500-square-foot home now has “refined modern updates,” according to the listing, including herringbone wood floors, custom millwork and a new kitchen with high-end appliances. It has five bedrooms, three full bathrooms, two powder rooms, a finished basement and a detached two-car garage.
Jevon Gratineau of Brown Harris Stevens is the listing agent.
Ozzy and Sharon’s Condo
Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne’s spacious condo in West Hollywood, California, is on the market, four months after the death of the heavy metal icon.
The apartment, listed for $2.375 million, is on the 10th floor of the Sierra Towers, a high-rise complex that has often been home to celebrities. The listing agents are Jonah Wilson, Josh Greer and Rudy Serrato of Carolwood Estates.
The 1,237-square-foot unit has one bedroom and 1 1/2 bathrooms and includes a 40-foot terrace off the living room and bedroom.
Ozzy Osbourne, the Black Sabbath frontman, and Sharon Osbourne, a music industry manager turned TV personality, bought the apartment in 2022 for $2.25 million. They sold a larger, adjacent unit in the building last year for $4.35 million.
Chris Chelios’ Compound
Hockey Hall of Fame inductee Chris Chelios is taking another shot at selling his beachfront compound in Malibu, California. The new asking price: $59.999 million.
Chelios, a three-time Stanley Cup champion who is now a hockey broadcaster, and his wife, Tracee, had listed the property two years ago for $75 million, then slashed the price to $67.5 million last year. They reportedly bought the home in 2003 for around $6 million.
The compound, at the end of a cul-de-sac in Malibu’s exclusive Paradise Cove neighborhood, has around 90 feet of beachfront. The nearly 3,800-square-foot main house features four bedrooms, including two primary suites, and five bathrooms. A separate guesthouse has oceanfront decks.
Carl Gambino and John Bercsi of the Gambino Group at Compass are the listing brokers.
Bill Cosby’s House Sale
One of Bill Cosby’s two houses on Manhattan’s Upper East Side facing foreclosure has sold. The closing price was $28 million. He and his wife, Camille, had been seeking $29 million.
The enormous limestone building — 25 feet wide and seven stories high — sits on East 71st Street near Central Park among other stately homes, including one owned by convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
After serving three years in prison, Cosby was released from prison in June 2021 after an appeals court overturned his 2018 sexual assault conviction.
The recently sold 13,000-square-foot, neo-French Classic house has six bedrooms, nine full bathrooms and three half-baths, plus a 500-square-foot rooftop terrace. The Cosbys still own a home a few blocks away on East 61st Street.
Adam Schneider of the Corcoran Group was the listing agent and also represented the anonymous buyer.
Randy Lerner’s Penthouse
Randy Lerner, a billionaire investor who formerly owned the Cleveland Browns football team, sold his Manhattan penthouse for $19 million, earning him a tidy profit.
Lerner had bought the duplex co-op with five bedrooms and 5 1/2 bathrooms on Fifth Avenue, in the heart of Greenwich Village, two years ago for $17 million. Both his purchase and sale were done privately in off-market deals.
Lerner owned the Cleveland Browns from 2002 to 2012, inheriting the NFL team after the death of his father, Al Lerner.
Joanne Woodward’s Listing
A two-bedroom, 1 1/2-bath co-op that was once part of Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward’s Manhattan pied-à-terre is being offered for $1.695 million.
The listing of the ground-floor apartment comes just four months after the couple’s terraced penthouse atop the Fifth Avenue building, in the Carnegie Hill neighborhood, sold for $14 million, around $4 million above the original asking price.
The lower-level apartment had been used as guest quarters and office space. Its sale is being handled by their children on behalf of Woodward, 95, who has withdrawn from public life. Newman died of cancer in 2008 at 83.
Noble Black and Jennifer Kaufman Stillman of the Corcoran Group are listing the property.
Sale for Louis C.K.
Comedian Louis C.K. has sold his waterfront home in Shelter Island, New York, for $4.35 million, which was $50,000 above the asking price.
The Tudor-style house, which sits on 2 secluded acres, has nearly 5,000 square feet of interior space, with six bedrooms, 4 1/2 bathrooms and four fireplaces. There is also a large brick patio with a 20-by-50-foot heated pool.
Carl Gambino and Marco Maida of the Gambino Group at Compass represented both the buyer and seller.
Julia Haart’s Penthouse
Julia Haart, the fashion designer and TV personality, is selling a sprawling Manhattan penthouse with panoramic views of the Hudson River and plenty of outdoor space. The asking price is $65 million.
The six-bedroom, 6 1/2-bathroom duplex apartment atop a limestone condominium in Tribeca comes with three spacious terraces.
The listing broker is Adam D. Modlin of the Modlin Group.
Haart is the founder of Body by Julia, a shapewear brand, and previously served as creative director for the Italian luxury brand La Perla. She was the executive producer and star of the Netflix reality series “My Unorthodox Life,” which is about her experiences after leaving an ultra-Orthodox Jewish community.
A Supertall Listing
A Manhattan condo that is being marketed as “the highest duplex on Earth” can be yours at the nosebleed price of $128 million.
Listed by Carl Gambino of Compass, the 11,535-square-foot apartment sits atop the supertall Central Park Tower on midtown’s Billionaires’ Row. (That’s the 127th and 128th floors.) It has eight bedrooms and 9 1/2 bathrooms, along with expansive views of Central Park, the Manhattan skyline and, perhaps, outer space.
