Ian Slater and Eduardo Martinez of Compass present a noteworthy property in NYC. This quad-plex penthouse, complete with a 24hr doorman, has officially hit the market for $6.9995M. The captivating 3,785 sq ft. property has a unique and fascinating history. Most notably, Britney Spears lived in the penthouse for four years during her "Toxic" era in the early 2000s. In the 80s, renowned singer/actress Cher also owned the home before selling it to record executive Russel Simmons in 1990. Located within the Silk Building, the home caters to just about every need and desire. The building, built-in 1908, holds 55 residences and was home to the original Tower Records store in the ’80s and ’90s.

While providing desired privacy in a townhouse-like structure, the home can be entered on any of the four levels, each unveiling a new surprise. The main level of the home, where the living/dining room and the chef’s kitchen can be found, features Sub Zero and Viking appliances. For optimum convenience, the main floor, with 12-foot high ceilings, also accommodates a powder room and a full-sized laundry room.

One of the highlights of this space is the outdoor terrace, which can be found on the top level along with the den. Out on the terraced roof, you’ll find stunning sunset views with the Empire State Building in sight. Even while on the unit’s other levels, you’ll be flooded with natural light and pleasant views from the large windows.

Located in the NoHo area of Manhattan, there is no shortage of entertainment and dining fit for any taste. Some common points of interest include Zero Bond, a members-only clubhouse, and a Miami-based restaurant, Kyu, which serves Asian barbeque.

Oops, she did it again. Britney Spears has a new addition to her arsenal of killer homes.

The pop icon recently purchased an Italian-style, multimillion-dollar villa in Thousand Oaks, California, for her and her two sons.

Her new 12,464-square-foot, five-bedroom pad is positioned on a lot of almost 21 acres and boats a master suite with a fireplace, a couple of walk-in closets, two bathrooms, and a private terrace; a great room with its own fireplace; a library; and a media/game room.

There’s a separate pool house that is accompanied by both a complete kitchen and a temperature-controlled wine cellar with enough space to house up to 3,500 bottles.

The property also has an infinity edge pool, a tennis court, and a three-hole golf course.

Spears and her two boys aren’t new to the neighborhood, which is about 40 miles from Los Angeles’ downtown. She purchased a $6.7 million, 8,456-square-foot home in the area several years ago.

The Real Estalker reports:

The unfortunately tennis-court-free mini-estate comprises two separate and slightly elevated parcels that total more than 1.4 mostly flat acres and allow for long, unobstructed views over the mansion-dotted hills and painstakingly manicured Jack Nicklaus-designed 18-hole golf course that weaves and winds its way through the super-swank ex-urban development like the tentacles of an unnaturally green octopus.

An arched, wood front door set deeply into an also-arched portico opens into a tremendous center hall entry that will certainly impress guests and the pizza delivery person too with its soaring ceiling, sumptuous limestone tile flooring and high-arched window that mirrors the arched front door and perfectly frames a distant, craggy outline of the surrounding mountains against the almost always clear blue southern California sky. 

An architecturally thrilling and vaguely ecclesiastical parabolic colonnade runs alongside the airy formal dining room that's expensively outfitted in with wide plank oak floor and a high wood-beamed ceiling. An adjoining semi-circular wet bar with enough seating for at least six bleary-eyed booze hounds to sidle up to the thick slab marble counter top—or maybe it's granite—and get a good, glassy-eyed look into the also semi-circular, glass-fronted and temperature-controlled walk-in wine room.
