Gisele & Tom Brady’s

New House In California

Is Bigger Than All Of Our Houses

Combined

What a fitting weekend to see this story pop up!

Nice crib! Now how do I get Giselle out of the picture! 

Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen — and their 2-year-old son Benjamin — have reportedly moved into a $20 million California dream home.

The sprawling compound in elite Brentwood outside Los Angeles was strewn with equipment and half-finished buildings just nine months ago.

But new photos published in London’s Daily Mail show the New England Patriots quarterback and supermodel finally have a place they can proudly show off to the neighbors — Arnold Schwarzenegger, Heidi Klum and Seal.

The 22,000-square-foot spread, nestled in a canyon, has two wings connected by a covered bridge, eight bedrooms and a lagoon-shaped swimming pool and poolhouse.

There’s a circular driveway and a massive lawn outside. Indoor amenities include a weight room, spa and wine cellar.

The roofs appear to be covered in solar panels and Bundchen has insisted that despite its size, the palace is “environmentally friendly.”

The Brazilian-born catwalker, who is an eco-activist, also said she and Tom need all that space to host their “large, extended families.”

Presumably that includes Brady’s 4-year-old son, John, from his relationship with actress Bridget Moynahan, who also lives nearby.

Bundchen and Brady, who are said to be worth at least $90 million, bought the 3.75-acre lot for $11 million in 2008 and spent millions more to build it out.

Remember the ridiculous outcry over Jenna Lyons painting her sons toenails in the JCrew catalogue last year!

Her year didn’t get much better. According to Curbed, J.Crew president and creative director Jenna Lyons has been going through a lot this year: the sale of her employer to a private equity shop, a split with her artist husband, a rumored relationship with jewelry exec Courtney Crangi, and now, the sale of the frequently-published, frankly gorgeous Park Slope townhouse bought by the couple for $1.3 million in 2004.

The home, located at 178 Garfield Place, has been a fixture on the glossy home magazine circuit, and is now listed for $3.75M.

This spectacular 1880s North Slope Townhouse, at 20’+/- wide with 4 stories plus a finished cellar, has been impeccably renovated to perfection. Every modern amenity has been added, while a complete restoration has preserved the integrity of the home’s original details. An open double parlor, beautiful (but not fussy) plaster cornices & medallions, aged pine floors, and 7 restored limestone mantels are just a few of the special details of this magnificent house.

The casually chic home boasts 7 bedrooms, 3.5 luxuriously appointed baths, an eat-in cook’s kitchen with top of the line appliances, large private terrace off the master bedroom and a cellar that has been converted to a media room for entertaining. The ground-up renovation includes all new mechanicals, electric and plumbing, 3 zone CAC, new rear façade & roof. The house has a landscaped, irrigated South facing rear garden anchored by a mature Dogwood tree.

If for some reason you cant swing your 3.75MM dollar mortgage, the property is currently set up as a 2-family with renovated garden rental apartment. that should help…..

Thank You Everyone!

Many thanks to all my 2011 customers for making last year the best year yet.  I am truly grateful for the opportunity I have had to get to know all of you.  It has been wonderful meeting everyone and making not only business relationships, but many friendships as well.

So far 2012 is looking strong and I am looking forward to helping many more find their new homes in this new year.

Friday’s Celebrity Listing …Are you starting to see a trend here!

I have missed Oprah since she left the 4:00 time slot! Have you?

You can rent her palatial Chicago apartment, and I am dreaming this was completely designed by my decorator husband Nate Berkus!

OH… TO DREAM!!

Media mogul Oprah Winfrey is looking to rent out her swank but never-lived-in Chicago pad for $15,000 a month. The fine folks at Curbed (via the Chicago Tribune) are reporting that Oprah is renting out the East Lake Shore Drive home that she purchased for $5,600,000 in 2006 and tried to unsuccessfully sell for $6,000,000 a couple of years later. She never ended up officially moving in, instead she set up camp in an ultra-posh duplex a few miles down the road. Now, it’s time for someone else (with deep pockets) to move on in.

The luxury, 4,607 square foot home has amazing views from library, living room and master bedroom with 10 foot ceilings. The apartment’s formal spaces include an inner foyer, a grand foyer, living room, library and formal dining room. Other amenities include a solarium, butler’s pantry, wine room, gourmet custom kitchen, laundry room and office (or third bedroom). The en-suite guest  and large master suite come complete with his and hers baths. The unit also includes a 2 car garage.

How Can I Get A Set Of These!!!

STAIR ENVY!!!!!

Here are some frequently asked questions when trying to determine whether or not the home you want to sell OR buy is in a flood zone.

Gwyneth Paltrow, Chris Martin, and their two children recently had their Tribeca penthouse decorated by Roman & Williams!

This is not for sale and R&W took the link down to the

Penthouse remodel ( I wonder why), but I thought you all

should be treated to some eye candy, instead of the fattening kind!

Enjoy!
