One of the weirdest homes on the New York real estate market has lowered its asking price from $13.588 million to $10.999 million, according to The New York Daily News.

The 14,000-square-foot Chapel Hill Mansion in the Bronx was originally built in 1928, and remodeled by the head of the New York Theological Society for the preparation of the "second coming of Jesus Christ."

The home was supposed to house "the Christian savior once he returned to earth to judge the living and the dead," listing broker Sean McPeak of Prudential Douglas Elliman told The Real Deal in 2012.

Perhaps the creepy backstory has caused the house to remain on the market — the new property listing on Halstead Property glosses over the home's weird history.

Instead, it talks up the tile from the Holy See, a replica marble fireplace like the one at the White House, and a chandelier from The Plaza.

This is the 14,000-square-foot Chapel Hill Bronx mansion meant for Jesus Christ's second coming.

The home features marble floors imported from the Vatican and chandeliers from the Plaza Hotel.

The dining room boasts an original hand-carved marble fireplace.

One of the most impressive properties in Manhattan — an 8,000-square-foot penthouse condominium in the CitySpire building on West 56th Street — has returned to market for $100 million, The Real Deal reports.

Owner Steven Klar, president of Long Island real estate developer The Klar Organization, first listed the blockbuster with a broker apartment last July.

But he pulled the listing after about six months when it failed to sell. It just reappeared on StreetEasy, and it looks like Klar is acting as his own broker, The Real Deal notes.

The penthouse is octagon-shaped and has six bedrooms and nine bathrooms.

Klar purchased the apartment in 1993 for $4.5 million as "raw space." It now spans three floors, and includes a separate guest apartment one floor below.

The entryway is reminiscent of Versailles.

Famed architect Juan Pablo Molyneux designed the apartment.

The home has an eat-in chef's kitchen with adjacent butler's pantry.

Tom Cruise is rumored to be selling even more NYC real estate— this time a gorgeous townhouse on West 12th Street in Greenwich Village, according to the Real Deal.

The home, originally built in 1860, has 8,300 square feet of space with six floors (not including a rooftop patio) and six bedrooms.

Cruise is said to have originally bought the property in 2009 with ex-wife Katie Holmes for $15 million, according to The Real Estalker. The owner's identity is masked by an LLC, but Cruise is believed to be the owner.

The Brown Harris Stevens listing of the incredible townhouse shows that the pad has five terraces, seven working fireplaces, and a built-in surround sound and humidification system. There's also an elevator, laundry room, and gym.

Drew Barrymore has listed the California mansion where she married husband Will Kopelman last year for $7.5 million, according to real estate website Trulia.

Barrymore originally bought the home in 2010 for $5.7 million, long before meeting her husband or giving birth to their daughter, Olive.

The Montecito estate has a gorgeous 1937 home built on two acres of property, and is currently listed through Sotheby's International Realty agent Suzanne Perkins.

The two-story mansion has six bedrooms, a separate guest apartment, remote-controlled property gates, and a huge backyard — big enough for Barrymore and Kopelman to hold their star-studded, 190-guest wedding.

Welcome to Drew Barrymore's Montecito mansion in California.

The actress's property sits on two acres of lush land with roses and fruit trees.

The inside foyer isn't too showy, and welcomes guests into the 6,258-square-foot home.

Ellen DeGeneres and wife Portia de Rossi have just bought a $26.5 million estate in seaside Montecito, Calif., according to TMZ.

The 13-acre ocean-view estate has a 10,522-square-foot Italian-style villa that was built in 1929. It has six bedrooms and nine fireplaces — every room in the romantic home oozes Tuscan elegance.

The original price was $24.5 million, but according to both TMZ and celebrity real estate blogger The Real Estalker, DeGeneres and de Rossi shelled out $2 million more than that. It had been listed with Village Properties Realtors agent Mitchell Morehart.

Both DeGeneres and de Rossi are known for buying properties and flipping them, so even though this seems like anyone's dream home, don't be surprised if it's back on the market within the year.

This is the Montecito mansion Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi bought for $26.5 million.

Real estate investor Andrew Borrok has once again listed his 20,000-square-foot mansion in the Hamptons for $58.5 million, according to The Real Deal.

The eight-bedroom home in Water Mill was first listed for the same price back in 2010, The New York Post reported. Borrok originally bought the property in 2003 for $3.6 million.

The estate, which is currently listed with Douglas Elliman, has a tennis court, Jacuzzi, infinity pool, eight fireplaces, a wine cellar, and a private pier right on Mecox Bay. It sits on four acres of land.

The property also comes installed with Crestron security cameras that can be controlled and monitored from anywhere in the world — an important security measure for anyone willing to spend $58 million on a house.

The home was previously listed with Douglas Elliman for an undisclosed price back in January of this year.

One of London's most famous real estate developers has listed his triplex penthouse in New York's Plaza Hotel for $59 million, The Wall Street Journal reports.

Christian Candy — who last year paid $25.9 million for the unit — is flipping the pad for more than double the price after redecorating it with his own design company Candy & Candy, according to WSJ.

The home, which is located on the 19th, 20th, and 21st floors of the iconic hotel, is listed with Brown Harris Stevens realtor Kyle Blackmon. It has uninterrupted views of Central Park and New York's skyline.

With over 6,000 square feet of space and a 230-square-foot balcony that looks out over Central Park, the penthouse is quite extravagant.

If the penthouse sells at its astronomical asking price, it would be a record for the Plaza Hotel, according to WSJ, surpassing the previous record purchase of $48 million for two adjacent condos in 2011.

Candy is best known as the developer of London's One Hyde Park, the world's most expensive apartment building.

The singer had listed the mansion in May 2012 for $14.75 million, just over a million dollars more than he paid for it in 2006.

The stunning East River mansion known as the Ellen Biddle Shipman Residence has just sold for $35 million, according to The New York Observer.

The East 50th Street and Beekman place home went for $13 million less than the original $48.75 million asking price.

The townhouse, currently still listed on the Brown Harris Stevens website, had a price cut to $43 million in recent months. 

According to the NYO, the unknown buyer was so enamored with the mansion, that he or she also bought all the existing furniture in the six-bedroom home.

Shipman was a prominent garden designer who clientele included Robert T, Vanderbilt, J.S. Rockefeller, E.I. Du Pont, Mrs. M.T. Mellon, Theodore Roosevelt's son Kermit, and Vincent Astor.

Welcome to Beekman Place on the Upper East Side. The street is very secluded, so you'll feel like you're in a ritzy suburb.

Former Tommy Hilfiger CEO and co-founder Joel Horowitz has a new plan to sell his gargantuan Lake Tahoe estate, which has been on and off the market for the past six years: He will personally finance the purchase for a qualified buyer.

The financing deals would be worked out once a qualified buyer is found, but it's a rare offer from a seller, a representative for the realtor said.

The home was initially listed for $100 million; it was relisted with Sierra Sotheby's International Realty in January with an asking price of $75 million.

The 210-acre estate, called Tranquility, is the largest on the Nevada side of Lake Tahoe. In addition to a 27,000-square-foot mansion, it has an indoor glass mosaic pool, private lake, two par-3 golf holes and an indoor golf simulator, horse stables, a wine cellar, a cinema, and separate guest and staff residences.

The decor is also impressive, from a replica of the staircase on the Titanic to four Rembrandt paintings. Nearly all of the furnishings are included in the sale price.

As 210 acres, Tranquility is the largest private estate on the Nevada side of Lake Tahoe.

It's incredibly private -- the perfect getaway for a billionaire.

In addition to a 27,000-square-foot main home, there are guest and staff quarters and a 16-car garage.

The youngest daughter of Uzbekistan president Islam Karimov is supposedly the new owner of an extravagant Bel Air mansion that was listed for $58 million last June, celebrity real estate blogger The Real Estalker reports.

There's no word yet on the final price Lola Karimova-Tillyaeva paid for the over-the-top abode, which was designed by celebrity designer Mohamed Hadid and is registered to a corporate entity, according to the Real Estalker.

Hadid, known for developing Ritz Carlton Hotels and his appearances on Bravo's "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills," originally designed the home — called Crescent Palace — for himself, but later decided to sell it. The mansion has seven bedrooms, a 90-foot art gallery, and a subterranean mecca with a screening room, a ball room, and a Mediterranean-inspired indoor pool.

Welcome to the Crescent Palace, on Crescent Drive in Beverly Hills.

The home took designer Mohamed Hadid 15 months to create.

Rapper and producer Pharrell Williams has lowered the price on his Miami penthouse from a staggering $16.8 million to $10.9 million, according to Curbed National.

The three-floor home is 9,080 square feet in total, and has been on the market since last December.

The home is massive, with five bedrooms, six and a half bathrooms, and unparalleled 360-degree views of the Miami skyline.

There's also a pool, elevator entry into the foyer, and massive terraces. The pad is still available through Coldwell Banker Residential Real Estate.

Pharrell's pad is right on the ocean.

His house has an "opposite fishbowl effect" where he can see out, but no one can see in through the glass windows.

When he's not starring in action flicks like The Bourne Legacy and The Avengers, actor Jeremy Renner likes to deal in real estate.

According to an August profile in Esquire, Renner has flipped roughly 15 Los Angeles-area homes with his business partner Kristoffer Winters over the past decade.

But this might be his biggest sale yet. A gorgeous Holmby Hills mansion he listed six months ago for $24.95 million has sold, according to Trulia. 

The home is a staggering 10,000-square-foot, single-level mansion sitting on two acres of land. It has six bedrooms, 11 baths, five fireplaces, a theater, and multiple pools and fountains scattered throughout the property.

And although it may be worth the hefty price tag, we won't know the final figure until the house is out of contract.

The estate was last purchased for $7 million back in 2010, and was rebuilt by architect Philip Vertoch and designed by Kristoffer Winters.

A "log cabin-style" home on Lake Tahoe that once belonged to famed aviator Howard Hughes is on the market in Crystal Bay, Nevada for $19.5 million, according to real estate blog Curbed.

The 2,518-square-foot "Summertide" is being sold by Chase International, and it remains very much as it was when Hughes owned it. The property has only changed hands once — Bruce James, former Public Printer of the U.S., and his wife Nora purchased it in 1995 and have made very few changes to the home since then.

Hughes, once one of the richest men in the world, was reportedly something of a recluse and bought the cabin in the 1950s to use as an escape.

The 5.5 acre estate is situated just on the edge of beautiful Lake Tahoe and has panoramic views of the water and surrounding mountains. Also on the property are a 1,343-square-foot guest house and separate 4-car garage.

Both the main cabin and the guest house have beautifully finished beams, large windows and stone fireplaces.

Hughes entertained many famous guests at the Summertide, including President Kennedy and Marilyn Monroe.

314 acres of nearly untouched land on Martha's Vineyard just hit the market for $118 million, a record price for the area. 

Dubbed Homer's Pond, the expansive piece of land includes a 5,600-square-foot home that's supremely private. It's one of the largest coastal properties for sale in the United States, and Charles Carlson of South Light Properties, one of the property's listing agents, called it a "private kingdom."

A lucky buyer can purchase the entire property for the full $118 million, but it's also possible to buy a smaller piece. A buyer might choose a 100-acre parcel of land for $31 million, a 164-acre parcel for $43 million, or the two together for $74 million.

Welcome to Homer's Pond. This secluded and ultra-serene property includes 1,200 feet of private oceanfront beach and a 35-acre freshwater pond, perfect for swimming, boating, or horseback-riding.

A huge percentage of the property is undeveloped and is graced by tranquil woods and grasslands.

The main home has floor-to-ceiling windows, four bedrooms and 180-degree views of both the pond and the Atlantic Ocean.

This past May, a $190 million Connecticut mansion went on the market and became the most expensive home for sale in the U.S.

Now, pictures on David Ogilvy & Associates Realtors website have surfaced that show just how opulent the estate really is.

The 50-acre property dates back to the 1890s, and is currently owned by timber magnate John Rudey.

The 12-bedroom home has 15,000 square feet of living space, 7,000 square feet of basement and attic space, and an 1,800-foot-long driveway. There's also a grass tennis court, innumerable gardens, apple orchard, greenhouses, 75-foot-long heated pool, and a carriage house.

However, it's not without flaws. According to The Wall Street Journal's Alyssa Abkowitz:

While in good condition, the interior needs upgrading; [Owner] Mr. Rudey, for example, had plans drawn up to design a kitchen off the dining room, as the main kitchen is in the basement, which was part of the staff quarters. There are old speaking tubes from pre-electricity days and sleeping porches, which were once used in warmer months before air conditioning was the norm.

If it does sell at the listing price, Copper Beech Farm would be the new most expensive home ever sold in the U.S., surpassing the Montana Ranch rumored to have sold for $132.5 million to real estate mogul Stanley Kroenke in November 2012.

After only two months of sitting on the market, NASCAR superstar Jeff Gordon's NYC condo has found a buyer.

According to the New York Observer, the 15 Central Park West pad in Manhattan has officially gone into contract, but Gordon has told his broker at Halstead Property not to disclose the final sale price.

The home was originally listed for a cool $30 million. Gordon and his wife Ingrid Vadebosch bought the home for $9.67 million back in 2007, and completely redecorated and customized the condo, according to The New York Times.

Even if Gordon didn't meet the $30 million price tag he envisioned, chances are he at least doubled his investment.

The three-bedroom home has Brazilian cherry floors and gorgeous views of Central Park. The master suite alone takes up 743 square feet of the 3,454-square-foot pad.
