TopTenRealEstateDeals.com offers fresh real estate news for luxury and celebrity listings across the United States. Here’s a taste of its Top Ten list for the week:
New Jersey Sugar Mansion
Located in Far Hills, New Jersey, this 32-acre property was built over a hundred years ago as a summer home for New York sugar importer, George R. Mosle, who enjoyed the estate with his family for fourteen years, until he lost his fortune in 1920.
The "super sweet" residence—which has since been used as an orphanage, a school, and a summer camp—may be used in many different capacities, or returned to its original function as a single-family home. Though in need of some TLC, the magnificent stone-and-brick structure has immense charm and potential with 18,000 square feet of living space. It presently touts numerous formal rooms that are perfect for entertaining large groups; a music room; a den; an office; two powder rooms; and a kitchen with a sizable butler's pantry, and the original ice box built into the cabinetry.
Currently on the market for $4.995 million, the house has over ten bedrooms and four bathrooms in total, and is salted with big windows, fireplaces, huge expanses of food, and terra-cotta tile flooring.
Ty Cobb's Tahoe Vacation Home
Originally built in 1938, baseball legend Ty Cobb's summer lodge—purchased after his retirement—sits on 2.25 acres and comes with a 147-foot stretch of Lake Tahoe shoreline.
Expanded and revamped in 1992, the home is now 2,423 square feet and boasts four bedrooms, four baths, a floor-to-ceiling fireplace, and a spacious kitchen and dining area. Listed at $6.5 million, the residence—which has a "knotty pine interior"—overlooks remarkable lake, mountain, and forest views, particularly from its sprawling deck.
A portion of the property's land has been approved for conditional expansion improvements by the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency in case its new owner decides to divvy up the swath, which would leave the Cobb Lodge on 1.02 acres.
St. Lucie River Waterfront Contemporary
Tucked within Hooker Cove, minutes from Hutchinson Island, this modern riverfront home—now up for grabs for $7.35 million—comes with a long dock that affords ample space to park several boats.
Constructed in 2008, the glass-encased mansion—which boasts five en suite bedrooms and eleven baths—has 13,675 square feet of outdoor and indoor living space, and features large open rooms overlooking gorgeous western views. Its master suite comes with a lounge area and a spa-type bath.
The home also touts a theater, a fully equipped gym, a library, and an elevator, as well as a one-bedroom, one-bath guesthouse. Boasting a handful of outdoor terraces—some covered by cantilevered overhangs, others open to the sky—the property also has a heated pool and a spa.
Toronto Mansion with 22-Ton Staircase
Located within one of the most high-end neighborhoods in the city, this spectacular, 13,600-square-foot residence in Toronto overlooking the Rosedale Gold Club will be auctioned off on June 26th.
Surrounded by private woods, the four-bedroom, seven-bath abode will be accompanied by not one, but two indoor pools, along with a whirlpool and sauna. Outfitted with an up-to-date remote control system with which one may manage the entire house, the home touts radiant heated wooden and stone floors.
Previously priced at $23.9 million, the classic Canadian estate in Bay View-York Mills comes with its own wet bar, wine cellar, and home office… not to mention its great garage comes complete with a hydraulic lift.
Sting's London Townhouse
Situated just half-a-mile away from Buckingham Palace in a historical building in the Birdcage Walk conservation area, the rock star's luxuriant 8,500-square-foot home is comprised of seven bedrooms and six bathrooms.
Embellished with modern decor from its revamp in 2010, the palatial house has five living spaces, a roof terrace, and a garden terrace, and has direct access to Birdcage Walk at St. James Park—arguably the finest of the capital's Royal Parks.
The legendary musician's magnificent residence is now on sale for an undisclosed sum, likely in the $25 to $35 million range.
