The fictional home of Spider-Man’s archnemesis, the Green Goblin, is a real-life residence in Tudor City, New York that has recently been listed on the real estate market. The unit rests in the Windsor Tower at 5 Tudor City Place and is currently priced at $1.99 million. The space was pictured in all three of the "Spider-Man" films between 2002 and 2007 where acclaimed actor Willem Dafoe portrayed the vilifying figure against Tobey Maguire’s web slinging superhero. Although this unit alone is unique to the "Spider-Man" universe, the apartment complex itself has served as a key location in several other films. In "Jason Bourne," Matt Damon’s titular character jumped from the building’s roof into the East River in the final scene of "The Bourne Ultimatum." The iconic crime movie "Scarface" was filmed right outside the Windsor Tower lobby and in "The Godfather: Part III," Al Pacino’s Michael Corleone ate breakfast on the terrace of an adjacent penthouse unit.

Located in Tudor City, New York, the newly listed cinematic property for sale consists of a luxe triplex penthouse. The one bedroom spread opens to a winding staircase with hand painted cast iron rails connecting all three levels. The great room features a vintage 1920s fireplace, refinished herringbone flooring, 18-foot ceilings, and 15-foot casement windows with marvelous views of the Midtown skyline. On the second floor, the residence offers a renovated kitchen, chic dining room, and spacious bedroom with two walk-in closets. The third floor presents its own 300 square foot private terrace with tables and seating to overlook the dazzling cityscape below.

Original Spider-Man Tobey Maguire is selling his Los Angeles estate for $10.25 million, less than a year after purchasing it for $8.45 million. Yes, your “friendly neighborhood Spider-Man” is packing his bags again—this time for profit. Superheroes are restless souls anyway.

Actor Tobey Maguire's 6,320-square-foot Brentwood estate is on the market for $10.25 million.

The eclectic residence on Carmelina Avenue was designed by renowned southern California architect John Byers.

The family room has soaring vaulted ceilings with exposed wood beams and skylights.

Located in Brentwood, Maguire’s property is a virtual celeb web which has snagged both talk show host Ricki Lake and Friends alum Courteney Cox, who previously called this gorgeous residence home. The 6,320-square-foot plantation-style estate on Carmelina Avenue features five-and-a-half bathrooms and six bedrooms—five bedrooms on the first floor, and a separate upstairs guest suite (where we’re guessing Maguire’s best bud Leonardo DiCaprio may have crashed at some point).

The residence was designed by renowned southern California architect John Byers, whose sprawling creation cuts across three-quarters of an acre. The private gated residence seamlessly connects indoors with outdoors via a suite terrace, a covered courtyard, oversized windows, skylights, and French doors… countless French doors begging to be opened! Natural light floods the home from every corner (presumably to turn off the dark).

The plantation-style estate features six bedrooms, many with French doors that lead directly to the yard.

Five bedrooms grace the first floor, including this colorful guest room with matching drums

The home features an eclectic mix of styles: vaulted ceilings in the family room buttressed by exposed wood beams and skylights; varied floor surfaces from light marble to modern dark hardwood to subway tile; a mini sauna; exotic wood tables (e.g. an intentionally distressed deck table); Far East-influenced metal or carved lanterns; and some sort of foliage-covered Buddhist relic near the entrance. The massive master suite boasts two fireplaces and a glass dome skylight in the bathroom suite.

Outdoors, the backyard showcases a covered exterior living room deck, a covered BBQ court, a small carriage house gym, a pool, Jacuzzi and lush landscaping—even a few trees and vines from which Spider-Man can swing. The private estate is a prime location with a 35,000-plus square flat lot overall.

The estate invites fresh air indoors for a seamless connection. Exotic deck items include an intentionally distressed deck table.

Golden Globe nominee Maguire acted in quirky films as a teen and lost many roles to his friend DiCaprio, but he registered as a certified A-lister after starring in the original Spider-Man trilogy (directed by Sam Raimi) from 2002 to 2007. After script and production complications for a planned fourth installment, he hung up his red-and-blue tights for good. Now, he's also hung a "for sale" sign on the house he shares with his wife, jewelry designer Jennifer Meyer—the house that was paid for by "Spider-Man."

Maguire as Spider-Man

With this home on the market, celebs will surely come calling. After all, a superhero, a talker, and a "friend" have already shacked up here. We humbly predict Oprah Winfrey will be its next owner—after all, she’s a superhero, a talker and our friend.
