Notable Neighbors: Celebrity Real Estate News
MARCH 3, 2011
Brady-Bundchen household pulls up NYC stakes; Oscar nominee Michelle Williams stays put in Brooklyn; Muppet mansion on the market 
again; Shoe king Steve Madden goes up a size.
New England Patriots All-Pro quarterback Tom Brady has found a buyer for his football-field-sized high-floor condo, originally on the market for $18.5 million, in the Time Warner Center. Brady and his missus (supermodel Gisele Bundchen) have been whittling their NYC real estate footprint (she recently sold two West Village properties, a townhouse and a penthouse); the couple also own homes in Boston and Southern Cali. The star QB is known for publicly acknowledging his lack of love for the Jets’ home city (via The New York Observer).
Though most of the current crop of Oscar winners (via Zillow Blog) gravitate toward the West Coast (or their country roots), Blue Valentine best actress nominee Michelle Williams reaffirms that she’s happy in her four-story Hoyt Street brownstone in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn and that she has no plans to head west with daughter Matilda Rose anytime soon.
The Upper East Side home at 117 East 69th Street, formerly owned by Muppet creator Jim Henson—and later Warner CEO Edgar Bronfman, Jr.—just hit the market for 27 and a quarter mil, which would keep The Count busy for a while (via Zillow Blog).
Executive Suite: Affordable, trendy footwear magnate—and sometime inmate—Steve Madden and his wife Wendy just purchased a third apartment in their 3-story townhouse co-op at 175 East 73rd Street. The newly-acquired duplex puts the Maddens’ total at six bedrooms, four full and two-half baths, and they now own three of the building’s four units (via The New York Observer).
