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.

"From the moment of arrival, a balance between grandiose architectural elements and thoughtful, understated details sets the tone for this unparalleled Estate," says Alatriste. "As we are enjoying our homes more than ever, this sanctuary is a paradise. The home is an iconic estate. Located in the exclusive and gated La Gorce island, it is the epitome of luxury living. This Smart home furnished by Liagre has every amenity imaginable for everyone; office, media room, bar, gym, and game room. Multiple courtyards with fountains, keystone deck, lap pool, manicured lawns, and 158’ of water frontage with direct ocean access provide for majestic living indoors or out. It has the private side of Miami Beach while still being steps away from world-class dining, shopping, and entertainment."

The music and culture icon first purchased the house in 1995. She tore it down leaving only the foundation, tasking designer Wallace Tutt for the rebuilding project. She went on to sell it to Barry Schwartz, Co-Founder of Calvin Klein.

Here, miles of riding trails meander through magical woodlands, winding back home to five deluxe stables and two horse rings.

A 20,000 square foot main house, now being freshly reinvisioned, is invisible from the rest of the compound.

It is the ultimate equestrian environment with a group of magnificent stables; a pair of pristine and white-graveled riding rings as well a tennis court with seating area, lavishly landscaped grounds, and more.

A stunning 7,000-square-foot Moroccan guest house, soaring arched windows prove to be walk-through doorways to the landscape beyond.

Moroccan tiles, hand-carved wooden doors and coffered ceilings create a richly inviting ambiance.

Sequestered in the canyon just moments from the Beverly Hills Hotel, this vast treasure is part rustic, part refined and wholly without equal.

The post Splendid Equestrian Mansion Once Owned by Music Icon Cher appeared first on Haute Residence by Haute Living.

The power couple has been spotted touring Michael Jackson’s Neverland Ranch, Ricky Martin’s mansion in Miami, and—most recently—Cher’s 13,126-square-foot Italian Renaissance-style mansion in Malibu, California. Asking price? A bargain-worthy $41 million, considering that the house was formerly on the market for $45 million in 2008. Despite rumors of the sale, the property remains on the market.

Despite the lingering listing, Cher has decided to shake up her real estate portfolio—just as any self-proclaimed [celebrity] real estate professional would do. It has been reported that the songstress recently “downgraded” and closed on a far less extravagant home in Beverly Hills. The four bedroom, three bath estate boasts a somewhat bizarre rock garden but pales in comparison Cher’s former homes in the Los Angeles area, which include a $5.5 million duplex at the celebrity-popular Sierra Towers complex.

Don’t add the house to celebrity star maps just yet, as it has been speculated that the house is intended for her son Elijah Blue Allman, whose Venice Beach home was sold earlier this year. Whether or not the world famous singer moves in, the $2.15 million pad will still have some celebrity appeal as it was formerly owned by Ed O’Neil—the actor made famous by his role as the cash-strapped, self-pitying shoe salesman, Al Bundy of Married…with Children.
