New York Mansion That Broadway Musical ‘Chicago’ Built Now for Sale at $13.2 Million

The 18-acre, four-bedroom estate, home of Broadway producers 
Fran and Barry Weissler, is located about one hour
from midtown Manhattan


 A New York estate for sale at $13.2 million is the home of Fran and Barry Weissler, the Tony Award-winning Broadway producers who brought Chicago, Waitress, Pippin and Finding Neverland to the stage. 

Fran and Barry Weissler


 Fran Weissler once said of her home that “it's the house that Chicago built” — indeed the producers can be credited with making the show a sensation, reviving a less successful 1970's production, according to TopTenRealEstateDeals.com.


 Beverly Pepper


  It's now the second longest running show in Broadway history after The Phantom of the Opera.

 Located about one hour from midtown Manhattan, the 18-acre, four-bedroom estate includes an outdoor art sculpture by Beverly Pepper and an amphitheater that has hosted private performances by Christopher Plummer, the New York Philharmonic and James Earl Jones. 

James Earl Jones

There is also a four-bedroom guest house, a Hanneke Beaumont bronze sculpture, an in-ground pool with cabana rooms, a tennis court, and sculpture gardens.

Christopher Plummer

Built in 1950, between the main house and guest house there are a total of eight bedrooms, seven full baths, two half baths and a living area of 8,900 square feet.  


Melissa Colabela 


Presenting in a style reminiscent of a French chateau with its roof lines and multiple chimneys, the large estate has an ideal layout for entertaining and goes the extra mile outside where the landscape design will entertain children and adults alike with its maze, sculptures and hiking possibilities in the adjoining nature preserve. 


Anthony Lando 


 Rooms are large with the formal living and dining as well as the kitchen having large wood-burning fireplaces and opening to the outdoors.  


There are multiple seating and dining venues including a large enclosed porch.  Suspended curving stairs with a wrought-iron banister lead to the second floor with its gallery hall.

Bedrooms are large with beamed ceilings and open to a large enclosed porch with views over the landscape.


The listing agents for the New York estate that the Broadway musical Chicago built are Melissa Colabela and Anthony Lando of William Pitt-Julia B. Fee Sotheby’s, Irvington, New York.

Hockey Star Wayne Gretzky Bought California MansionTwice

Wayne Gretzky
 

THOUSAND OAKS, CA --Hockey’s greatest superstar, Wayne Gretzky, has listed his Thousand Oaks home for $22.9 million. 

 Wayne and his wife, Janet, worked with architect-to-the-stars Richard Landry to design the home in 2002. 


Wayne and Janet Gretzky

 After selling it to former baseball-star-turned-financial-advisor Lenny Dykstra in 2007, who trashed it after filing bankruptcy, the Gretzkys repurchased it in 2018 for $14.9 million and turned it back into a stunning celebrity home, now back on the market even better than it was originally, according to  TopTenRealEstateDeals.com

Lenny Dykstra
 

Sited on 6.5 acres on a crest with 360-degree views of the Santa Monica Mountains and Lake Sherwood, the symmetry of the home is impressive from every angle. 


Bridgett Wilson

More of a complex of structures than just a home, it encompasses two detached guest houses - one with a full gym, a tennis court, huge pool and formally landscaped gardens perfectly matched to the home’s Colonial Revival-style. 


Britney Spears

Measuring 13,276 square feet of living space, there are a total of six bedrooms and eight baths. The grand entrance opens to a foyer with the wide-curving staircase, perfect for a bride’s wedding or family-reunion photographs, into a large living room with huge windows and spectacular long-distance views. 


Paul Anka

 Having undergone some major recent updates, the large high-tech kitchen now opens to the family room.  The master suite includes a sitting room and dual baths.  Other amenities are a billiards room and screening room.

 

Sylvester Stallone 

  There are a total of six fireplaces to warm toes on chilly evenings and the detached garage houses four cars off the circular motor court.  A high level of craftsmanship is seen throughout the house in the detailed millwork including subdued wall panels.


 Pete Sampras

 

Lake Sherwood and the Country Club community is home to many celebrities as either full-time or vacation homes. 


 

 William Randolph Hearst


 

 William Randolph Hearst was the first who used it as a vacation getaway in the 1920s and 30s.  Paul Anka moved there in 2007 and owns numerous properties there.  Pete Sampras, Bridgett Wilson, Sylvester Stallone and Britney Spears add to the celebrity list.

 

Michael Bolton

 

Richard Landry has created over 500 homes including for many actors, musicians and sports figures such as Michael Bolton, Mark Wahlberg, Rod Stewart and Tom Brady.


Mark Wahlberg

 

The listing agent is Arvin Haddad of The Agency, Beverly Hills.

BEVERLY PARK, BEVERLY HILLS, CA -- With a list price large enough to make a billionaire’s eyes water, currently listed at $160 million, one of America’s most expensive homes, Villa Firenze, will be going to auction on Jan. 26 with no reserve and no minimum bid. 

 Denzel Washington

 Insulated on 10 acres in Beverly Park, the most exclusive part of Beverly Hills, it is the most expensive U.S. home ever to go to auction.

Sylvester Stallone

 Naturally, such an expensive home would be located in Los Angeles' most expensive neighborhood, according to TopTenRealEstateDeals.com

 

Mark Wahlberg

  Not only is Beverly Park guard-gated at the north and south entrances, there are gates within the community as well as gates to each residence - some with private guards. 

  Denzel Washington, Sylvester Stallone, Mark Wahlberg and more red-carpet regulars and business moguls call Beverly Park home.

With land scarce in most wealthy L.A. neighborhoods, that isn’t the case in Beverly Park.  Lot sizes come in acres rather than square feet and the most expensive home is sprawled across 10 acres. 

 


 Encompassing 28,660 square feet, Villa Firenze houses 13 bedrooms, 17 full baths and eight half baths. 

 

Outstanding features include huge windows - some two-story, large Old World-style fireplaces and surrounds, coffered ceilings and wide-arched walk-throughs. 



 

The exquisitely landscaped motor court is surrounded by exotic 40-foot Canary Island palm trees, a central landscaped fountain, and has parking for up to 30 cars. 

 

Opening to a grand foyer, the area beyond contains 20,000 square feet of formal entertaining space.  The grounds contain a two-story guest house, huge pool pavilion with pool house, and a tennis court. 



 

There is a jogging/walking trail around the perimeter of the property.  Grassy lawns, water features, rose gardens and other gardens and multiple verandas for outdoor entertaining assure activities for everyone.

 

One of America’s most expensive mansions, currently listed at $160 million, will be auctioned by Concierge Auctions in cooperation with agents Jeff Hyland and Rick Hilton of Hilton & Hyland, Beverly Hills on January 26th with no reserve and no minimum bid.
