Tommy Hilfiger, founder of Tommy Hilfiger Corporation, and his wife, fashion designer Dee Ocleppo, had a hectic year in real estate. Earlier this year, Hilfiger and Ocleppo recently bid farewell to their former 22-acre European-inspired home in Greenwich, Connecticut for $45 million. In March, the stylish duo picked up a $9 million house in the Palm Beach area. Recently, they have sold their Golden Beach mansion and only a mere few weeks later, purchased a second residence in the Palm Beach area. The seller, Donald Dizney, is board chairman of United Medical Corporation and purchased the property in 2013 at a price of $4 million. In December of 2020, the home was listed on the market for $21.5 million, but Hilfiger managed to close the deal at a reduced price of $21 million.

Built in 2006, Hilfiger’s newfound Mediterranean-style home spans 5,047 square feet and 0.3 acres of land. The humble abode includes three bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms. Set on the waterfront, the property highlights several spacious living areas, dining room, library, state-of-the-art kitchen with stone countertops, and two picturesque courtyards. The upstairs primary suite main suite offers a seating area, walk-in closets, his-and-hers bathrooms, and separate open terraces overlooking the waterfront. The property also has an attached two-car garage with a second-floor guest apartment. Stepping outside, the exterior space presents palm trees and landscaped greenery, modern swimming pool, barbecue terrace, and access to a dock.

Christian Angle with Christian Angle Real Estate represented both the Dizneys and the Hilfigers in the deal.

The post Tommy Hilfiger Purchases $21 Million Palm Beach Home appeared first on Haute Residence by Haute Living.

The roughly 14,000-square-foot mansion, whose backyard morphs into the ocean, is among the priciest in Golden Beach, even after a recent price drop of $4 million from its original $27.5 million.

A giant canvas of 1970s pop-art designs, the home has harbored the fashion mogul and his wife Dee Ocleppo’s extensive art collection, which has been reported to include pieces by Jean-Michel Basquiat, Marc Quinn, Damien Hirst and Bert Stern.

The residence, whose splendor filled the pages of Architectural Digest in late 2016, is a true piece of art in itself, ingeniously designed by Martyn Lawrence Bullard to reflect the sensitivities of legends like Andy Warhol and Keith Haring.

The 7-bedroom, 12-bathroom home features a geometric black-and-white kitchen, a crimson-red home theater, a red-white-and-blue fitness/game room, a living room carpeted by a hair-on-hide rug, several guest quarters covered in fruity scratch-and-sniff wallpapers, and a sinuous staircase anchored by a giant, glimmering statue of Micky Mouse.

Hilfiger and his wife purchased the property in 2013 for a little over $17 million. Back then, The Jills, Florida’s top luxury real estate team as ranked by WSJ, sold the estate to the couple. Today, Jill Hertzberg and Jill Eber are the listing agents for 605 Ocean Boulevard once again.

“The home will attract a buyer with impeccable taste who appreciates luxurious finishes, who will enjoy the different spaces that the home offers such as the movie theatre, built-in bar area right off the formal dining room, the multiple guest apartments and of course the oceanfront playground they have at their fingertips,” said Hertzberg.

Despite the wow-factor floor plan, which can feel more like a dazzling showcase of upscale furniture and finishes than a family home, it can still exude a sense of privacy and intimacy. Especially so in the splendid master bedroom and backyard, which vie for the top spot on Hertzberg’s list of favorite home spaces.

“In the backyard you can relax and reflect, enjoy a day in the pool or beachside with your kids or even entertain 200 guests,” she said. “The master bedroom is tied for my favorite, because it overlooks the beautiful blue ocean and offers so many amenities – a separate living area, his and hers bathrooms and walk-in closets, an office and a balcony with a spa that boasts million-dollar views.”

A one-of-a-kind, rare-to-find house, which seems to harbor an architectural likeness to its famed owner’s vision, 605 Ocean Boulevard “will attract someone who wants to have fun and live a wonderful life,” said Hertzberg.

The post Tommy Hilfiger’s Extravagant Golden Beach Residence Is Now Asking $23.5 Million appeared first on Haute Residence by Haute Living.

The fashion icon first put the condo up for grabs for $50 million in 2008, back when it was still unfinished. After failing to attract a buyer, however, Hilfiger invested $20 million in giving the duplex a significant facelift.

Now asking $80 million (the same price tag it touted last fall), the updated listing grants much more insight into the the property's over-the-top interior—comprised of five bedrooms and 5.5 baths—than the property's previous posting.

Sitting on the 18th and 19th floors of the renowned hotel, the opulent dwelling is outfitted with eccentric furnishings set against a bold, noir backdrop. Despite its outrageous decor, however, its most noteworthy facet is the Plaza's iconic brick dome; nestled beside the home's private terrace, the diamond-checkered deck overlooks stunning views of Fifth Avenue and Central Park.

In addition, all residents of the Plaza enjoy 24-hour white-glove treatment, which includes maid, valet, and Todd English room service.

I am assuming Mr. Hilfiger’s oceanfront property was purchased via blind trust because the sale is not public record. In fact, this news was brought to my attention from an inside source, but as a resident in this luxurious and desired neighborhood, all I can say is welcome to my newest neighbor.

Hilfiger is not the first public figure to purchase on GB. His fellow past and present powerhouse neighbors will include singer-songwriter, Latin Pop sensation Ricky Martin, world-renowned fashion photographer Bruce Weber and radio show host Tom Joyner.
