History, opulence, and one-of-a-kind provenance meet in this palatial Park Avenue duplex, originally commissioned by media titan William Randolph Hearst for silver screen icon Marion Davies. Just listed for the first time this century, Apartment 19/20W at 465 Park Avenue is asking $26 million through Douglas Elliman’s Michael Kotler. The private elevator entrance opens into a sweeping residence that doubles as a living museum. The great hall boasts a ceiling sourced from a Venetian Doge’s palace, complemented by 17th-century cathedral glass windows that bathe the space in rich, jewel-toned light.
Spanning multiple terraces with panoramic views of Manhattan, the home is wrapped in grandeur. Entertain beneath arched stained-glass windows in the solarium-style dining room, toast to the skyline by the wood-carved fireplace, or simply enjoy Ritz Tower’s room service while lounging among English Regency furnishings and 8-inch oak plank floors. With historical details and museum-worthy finishes throughout, this rarefied address offers a once-in-a-generation chance to own a piece of New York legend.

Listed at $12.995M by Adam Hofer of Douglas Elliman, this ultra-private, turnkey estate sits in the heart of Amagansett’s iconic Lanes—long favored by Hamptons royalty like Gwyneth Paltrow and Paul McCartney. Nestled behind a secure gated entrance and lush mature landscaping, the 7,500-square-foot home seamlessly blends high design with laid-back coastal elegance. With six bedrooms and a finished lower level, it’s a retreat that offers both generous space and effortless flow.
From the heated pool and spa to the chic pool house and expansive entertaining areas, every corner is designed for luxurious, year-round living. The home’s coveted address places it among an exclusive circle of neighbors that includes Scarlett Johansson, Alec Baldwin, and Sarah Jessica Parker. This is a rare opportunity to not just own a stunning Hamptons property, but to become part of one of the East End’s most storied enclaves.
History gets a high-end refresh at 142 Main Street, known locally as the “Eleazar Bulkley House,” just listed for $5.499 million. Set in the postcard-perfect village of Southport, Connecticut—minutes from Westport and a whisper away from the water—this circa 1811 Sea Captain’s home has undergone a jaw-dropping renovation that seamlessly marries historical integrity with sophisticated design. With four bedrooms, four-and-a-half baths, and a story etched into every beam, this Federal-style gem was restored with obsessive care: think reglazed original windows, hand-remilled 200-year-old virgin pine floors, and chestnut beams buttressed by structural steel. The pièce de résistance? A handwritten inscription discovered in the rafters dated July 4, 1811.
Designed by architectural star Jack Franzen with interiors by Parker & Company and built by local expert Paul Tallman, the home balances elegance and authenticity—exactly what today’s discerning buyers are seeking. Southport itself has quietly become one of the most desirable enclaves in the Northeast, where waterfront estates now command eight-figure sums, and charming village homes have more than tripled in value since 2019. With Hollywood pedigree (Phil Donahue and Marlo Thomas were neighbors) and all the small-town Americana vibes you could dream up, Southport is the new gold coast—refined, private, and timeless. The home is listed with Libby Mckinney Tritschler, currently the #1 broker in Fairfield Country.
Tucked just a block from Central Park, 138 Manhattan Avenue offers an exquisite blend of historic charm and modern sophistication in the heart of the Upper West Side. Designed by renowned Gilded Age architect C.P.H. Gilbert—best known for the iconic Cartier building—this five-story townhouse is a rare gem. With 17 feet of frontage, the home unfolds into four bedrooms, three-and-a-half baths, a penthouse studio, and a rooftop deck, not to mention a fully enclosed garden oasis. Inside, the parlor level boasts soaring double-height ceilings, a wood-burning fireplace, and a cozy library nook with tranquil garden views, setting the tone for refined city living.
The garden level stuns with a dramatic 19-foot ceiling dining room and a full-length glass wall that opens into a bamboo-lined backyard, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living. A chef’s kitchen, complete with high-end finishes and sleek design, makes entertaining effortless. With its impeccable renovation, architectural pedigree, and enviable location near the park, this townhouse strikes the perfect chord between Old New York elegance and contemporary luxury. Yair Tavivian of Douglas Elliman is the listing agent.
