Welcome back for another addition of The Celebrity Beat: Relocation.com’s real estate [2] report. This week James Bond and Jon Stewart purchased new homes [3]; while Anne Rice and Jesse James are looking for sellers. From duplex lofts to homes on the beach, which space peaks your interest?
• Daniel Craig (one of the James Bond’s) Scores TriBeCa Home for 1.9 Million [4]
Double 007 just scored a luxurious 1,121-square-foot pad for $1.9 million. The penthouse (purchased in cash!) is located in the über hip neighborhood [5] of TriBeCa that includes one bedroom and two bathrooms. According to the Real Estalker [6], this hefty price tag means that Mr. Craig is paying about $1,700 per square foot, along with monthly condo [7] charges of $2,265! The duplex loft features three terraces, a dining area with 20-foot ceilings, hardwood flooring, a balcony and two closets (one of which is a walk-in).
• Jon Stewart Buys Home in New Jersey for $3.8 Million [8]
According to Housing Watch.com, political satirist and “Daily Show” host, Jon Stewart recently purchased a new home on the Navesink River in Red Bank, New Jersey [9]. The 4,999-square-foot Victorian home features 1.3 acres of land located on the river with what we all can assume features some amazing views of the nearby landscape. Other details include a wrap-around porch with a deck, a swimming pool, two-car garage and a boat house.
• Anne Rice’s Home on the Market for $3.3 Million [10]
Author Annie Rice has listed her six-bedroom home for sale. Built in 1995, the California [11] residence features an outdoor pool, a garden with fruit trees, an air-conditioned garage, a separate dining area and an updated kitchen, seven bathrooms (yup, seven!), a private living area for a housekeeper or maid and a detached two-bedroom home for guests with a full kitchen. Rice is selling her home for a smaller pad, but stated that “I’ve loved it here in Thunderbird Heights with views of the valley and the mountains.”
• Jesse James Puts Sunset Beach Home on the Market [12]
Much has been mentioned about motorcycle manufacturer and reality star, Jesse James from the tabloids. Mr. James is also causing some buzz within the real estate industry [13] as his $6.75 million dollar beachfront home was recently placed on the market. The two-floor Mediterranean-inspired casa features four bedrooms, a media/game room, an office, a guest room, a fireplace, a modern kitchen, an island bar and a three-car garage with a built-in space for tools and storage. The home also has a built-in security system and an outdoor area with a swimming pool, tiki torches, waterfall and a waterslide!
