A gorgeous townhouse in the middle of New York's Upper East Side has just gone into contract for $41 million, according to the Observer. 

Tony and Claire White, the sellers of the townhouse, wanted $46 million for the property, but the asking price eventually fell to $41 million. 

Built in 1965, the 11,100-square-foot, 14-room townhouse was designed by Rachel 'Bunny' Mellon, the heiress to the Listerine fortune who was married to the banking legend Paul Mellon.

She was a close friend of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and a notable horticulturist who redesigned the White House Rose Garden — needless to say, she had impeccable taste. 

Her gorgeous UES townhouse with its own private garden, listed with Sotheby's International Realty, is a testament to that. 

Welcome to 125 East 70th Street, Bunny Mellon's former home on the Upper East Side.

Let's step inside the home. The townhouse has 11,100 square feet and a total of 14 rooms.

It was designed in a French neoclassical style, and is basically decorated like a palace.

Hedge-fund manager Scott Bommer (who is known for flipping homes in the Hamptons) has finally sold his historic oceanfront estate in Southampton for $16 million, according to Curbed Hamptons. 

Bommer originally put the house on the market in September of 2013 for $25 million, but has since had to lower the price multiple times. According to Southampton Village Real Estate, the final price was $16 million — a staggering $9 million and 20% below Bommer's asking price.

The historic beach house, known as the Halcyon Lodge, was once a part of the Henry Ford estate.

In 1946, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Ford II commissioned the famous architect Phillip Johnson — known for building The Glass House— to build a one story glass wing addition to the estate.

The home sits on 1.5 acres of land with 142 feet of oceanfront. Inside there are eight bedrooms, six baths, a heated pool, and even has a three-bedroom carriage house for guests. 

Built in the early 1900s, this historic beach house is one of Southampton’s original cottage colony homes.

It has beautiful hardwood floors and a fireplace for cozy lounging.

The oceanfront home also has beautiful artwork on the walls.

Mel Gibson just cannot find a buyer for his $30 million Costa Rican estate (via Curbed).

The home, which has been languishing on the market since 2010, was purchased by Gibson back in 2007 as a refuge from the paparazzi that dogged him.

And though you may not think of Costa Rica as a super exclusive retreat for millionaires, this piece of real estate may just change your mind.

The estate has over 500 acres of secluded jungle surrounding it, as well as three villas on the property.

This is the third time the forested compound has been listed for sale. The first was in 2010 for $32 million and the second in 2012 for $29.8 million, according to The Wall Street Journal.

Maybe the third time will be the charm for this $29.7 million slice of paradise.

The Spanish influence radiates through the home, evident in the entrance courtyard.

The main home, Casa Guanacaste, is a hacienda-style residence with two floors, 8 bedrooms, and 7 bathrooms.

Designed by Wayne Turett, an award-winning architect, the townhouse is ideal for city living with huge windows and plenty of natural light.

It even has heated Walnut hardwood floors. Very luxurious.

The home has undergone massive restorations of around $30 million by previous owner and mining mogul Robert Friedland to retain its original architectural detail. The properly last appeared in 2009 for around $70, so the new listing price has be cut by $21 million, according to Curbed. 

Neal Ward has the listing. 

Welcome to 440 Golden Gate on Belvedere Island.

It sits on southern crest of the Island, which offers incredible unobstructed 270-degree views of San Francisco.

The home is a historical landmark and is covered under the ‘Mills Act,’ so there are significant reductions in property taxes.

The village of Johnsonville, Connecticut was once a theme park, a textile mill, a movie set, and a ghost town. Now, the entire town can be yours for $800,000.

Johnsonville's founding dates back to the 1830s when was a mill town for the twine industry in Connecticut. Fast forward to 1960 when, according to Curbed, aerospace millionaire Ray Schmitt bought up all the buildings in town. He also brought his own buildings to Johnsonville, including a Victorian-era stable and a chapel from Massachusetts, opening a quaint theme park. 

By 1994, after a fight with local officials and a few fires, the park closed. Save for the movie Freedom being filmed there as well as a Billy Joel music video, the 64 acres have been left abandoned ever since. 

A hotel developer did purchase the property in 2008, but after trying to unload it last year for $2.9 million, the property is now being auctioned starting at a discounted $800,000.

Many of the original buildings from the 1800s are still standing, though they are in terrible shape.

The structures, though dilapidated, feature authentic and original colonial and Victorian design.

Fires destroyed some of the original structures, but at least eight still remain on the property.

Tom Cruise has listed his sprawling 298-acre estate in Telluride, Colo. for $59 million, according to The Wall Street Journal.

While $59 million seems like a hefty price tag, this property is expansive. The gated estate not only has a 10,000-square-foot main house with four bedrooms, a gym, recreation room, and library, but a 1,600-square-foot guesthouse with three other bedrooms as well.

There’s also a sports court for tennis, basketball, or ice hockey, and a private trail system with access to and views of the 14,000-foot mountains in the distance.

Sounds simply gorgeous.

Telluride Sotheby’s Real Estate listing agent Bill Fandel told WSJ that Cruise helped design and construct the stone and cedar home, which was completed in 1994.

At $500,000 per month it is New York City’s priciest rental listing, according to The Wall Street Journal. 

As part of the new Pierre Hotel Residences program, interested tenants can sign a lease for as little as 30 days, or as long as they need. 

This program will meet a strong demand for large apartments with flexible lease terms, according to Therese Bateman of Town Fifth Avenue. 

“It’s hard to find a six-bedroom apartment with that kind of flexibility,” she told The Wall Street Journal. 

But the best part of living in this swanky hotel has to be the many luxury services The Pierre offers. Guests are given complete access to the butler service, pet pampering, twice daily maid service, and the hotel’s chauffeur-driven Jaguar. 

You would never have to lift a finger.

Bateman and Andres Perea-Garzon of Town Fifth Avenue have the listing.

Tucked away off a tree-lined block in the heart of Carnegie Hill lies the esteemed Carhart Mansion. 

Designed by Horace Trumbauer as a Louis XVI Parisian townhouse, it has been described as“one of the finest examples” of New York City French Classicism. 

The mansion was converted into four exclusive, full service, and grand scale residences in 2005 — and now one of those four homes is on the market for $34.9 million.

Major democratic party donors Dennis and Karen Mehiel are selling their incredible condo, which spans two floors of the Carhart Mansion with 17 grand rooms and over 10,350 square feet of space. 

According to the Wall Street Journal, the Mehiels first put their condo on the market for $35 million in 2008, right after the financial crisis. “Our timing was very poor,” Mehiel told the WSJ. They pulled it off the market in 2010. 

But due to the luxury real estate boom in New York City, the palatial duplex is back on the market.

Carrie Chiang of Corcoran Group Real Estate has the listing. 

Welcome to the Carhart Mansion. This Upper East Side home was originally designed in the French neo-classical style.

A new razor-thin townhouse is set to make a splash in Manhattan's desirable Flatiron District of Midtown South. 

Designed by Skyway Development Group (and spotted on Curbed NY), the home has 8,000 square feet of space and a total of seven floors.

It also features a glass elevator to move up and down the skinny building.

Though it's relatively small, it packs a big punch with six bedrooms, four powder rooms, a "backyard," a roof deck, a home office, and a garage (to park your presumably very skinny car).

It will also have not one but two hot tubs, plus a sauna and a steam room.

It was designed by Andres Escobar and Karl "Hot Karl" Fischer served as the architect. According to Curbed, they've worked together before on some high-profile projects with good results.

The townhouse will be built at 34 West 21st St., according to the press release, and will be a single-family home.

There is no shortage of over-the-top mansions around the country.

But the Beverly Hills estate of real estate mogul Jeff Greene, which just hit the market with a price tag of $195 million — making it the new most expensive home for sale in the US — is in a league of its own.

Known as the "Palazzo di Amore," Greene's home was built for parties. It has an entertainment complex and ballroom that can fit 250 guests, a private-label vineyard, and parking garages for more than two dozen cars.

Greene, who made a fortune when the real estate bubble burst, is worth some $2.2 billion. With its $195 million listing price, his home is by far the most expensive on the market, beating a Florida home currently listed at $139 million.

Joyce Rey and Stacy Gottula of Coldwell Banker Previews International have the listing.

The Palazzo di Amore is not your ordinary mansion. It's a true party palace, with space to entertain 1,000 guests.

Visitors pass through three sets of gates before arriving at the grand home. The two-story entry has a pair of curved marble staircases.

The 15,000-square-foot "entertainment complex" is what sets this home apart. It has a ballroom with a revolving floor and can host 250 for a seated dinner.

A three-story $42 million penthouse at 1965 Broadway has hit the market in New York City, according to The Real Deal. 

The penthouse in Lincoln Center has three separate entrances, 16 rooms, two kitchens, two private terraces, and a total of 10,100 square feet. 

It was once three units and has been converted into this triplex penthouse with a full-service 24-7 doorman, concierge, security staff, and live-in resident manager. 

But the best feature of the home might be its incredible 360-degree views of Manhattan, which is why it has been referred to as the “townhouse in the sky.” 

Andrew Azoulay of Douglas Elliman Real Estate has the listing. 

Welcome to the triplex penthouse at the Grand Millennium on Broadway and 67th Street.

The immaculate main kitchen was designed by Boffi. There is a second kitchen located on the lower floor.

It has stainless steel, two refrigerators, three sinks, and three dishwashers.

Update: The listing for Kardashian and West's home was taken down shortly after this article was posted. We'll update when we know more.

That was fast.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are selling the 8,000-square-foot French country-style home they purchased for a reported $19.75 million in August, Curbed LA reports.

The mansion just reappeared on real estate listing site Zillow with a $19.99 million price tag.

The home, which was formerly owned by Lisa Marie Presley, includes eight bedrooms, 10 bathrooms, two swimming pools, two spas, and even a vineyard on its three acre property.   

"I am so ready to be out of my mom's house, you have no idea," Kim told People magazine in August. "We wanted to be away and have more privacy ... but it will be nice to still be close." 

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West bought an $11 million mansion last year in Bel-Air — but decided to sell it because they wanted more space. Apparently their $20 million Hidden Hills estate wasn't spacious enough.

The 8,000-square-foot estate is located on 3 acres of land right down the street from Kim's mom's house, where the couple had previously been staying with baby North.

The home — which boasts a very grand entrance —was previously owned by Elvis' daughter, Lisa Marie Presley.
