It looks like Miami, but its soul is pure Brooklyn. At one time, this "bonkers" estate was the most expensive home in Brooklyn, on sale for $30 million in 2013.

But the next year, it was given a price chop down to $17 million. Now it's shed both a neighboring home and another $4.5 million from its price tag, says Curbed. It's now listed for $12.5 million.

The 10-bedroom Mill Basin property is a gated waterfront compound with a storied past and more than 23,000 square feet of interior space.

The main house was originally built and owned by John Rosatti, a multimillionaire with mob connections to the Colombo crime family. He then sold the property to Russian heiress Galina Anisimova (known as the mother of the "Russian Paris Hilton") for $3 million in the late '90s.

Outside, the mansion has a 1,000-square-foot pool, a 40-person pavilion for parties, and 30,000 square feet of outdoor gardens. The main house boasts a downstairs wine cellar, 257 feet of waterfront, a four-car garage, and a two-boat marina. Taken together, this is more akin in style to something you'd see in Miami than in Brooklyn. 

Douglas Elliman now has the listing.

Here's the entrance to the home that was at one time Brooklyn's most expensive property.

The home is perched right on the Mill Basin waterfront and has its own private marina.

Mill Basin is pretty deep in Brooklyn — about an hour's car ride (or longer on public transportation) from midtown Manhattan.

A hunter's paradise is having a hard time finding a buyer.

It's called the Granot Loma, and according to the listing, it may be the largest log-cabin lodge in America.

With a private marina and 5,000 acres of surrounding woodlands, the 26,000-square-foot house was listed for a staggering $40 million last year making it the most expensive house in Michigan.

Bob Sullivan of Northern Michigan Land Brokers formerly had the listing. It is now for sale by its owner for $19.5 million — a discount of more than 50%.

Called Granot Loma, this gigantic log cabin sits on the shores of Lake Superior, north of Marquette, Michigan.

It was built and named in 1923 by its original owner, financier Louis G. Kaufman.

Kaufman played a pivotal role in the founding of General Motors, where he was on the board for 20 years.

Model and tabloid star Christie Brinkley is looking to offload her Hamptons home.

It's a 19th century bay-front beauty, and Brinkley is looking to score a cool $25 million for it. She last listed the home in 2010 for $15.75 million. She's done some remodeling since then, but still needs some work, the listing agent told the Wall Street Journal. She originally purchased the home in 2004 for $7.15.

The home is quite large, close to all the best Sag Harbor has to offer, and has tons of waterfront property, which all contribute to the asking price.

Enzo Morabito of Douglas Elliman has the listing.

2250 Vallejo, a circa-1901 mansion that was previously San Francisco's most expensive home, has finally sold, according to Curbed SF.

The mansion turned contemporary dream home was built on one of highest streets in hilly San Francisco and was most recently asking $25 million, making it the priciest in the city limits. It first listed for $28 million in November 2015. Last week, an unknown buyer closed on the house for $21.8 million, according to public record.

Though another mansion, 2820 Scott Street, was listed at a higher price in June, that listing expired in September, making 2250 Vallejo San Francisco's most expensive home on the market when it was sold, even after a $3 million price chop earlier this year.

That price also makes it San Francisco's most expensive sale in 2016, Curbed says.

Meticulously refurbished on the outside and completely recreated on the inside, the 9,095-square-foot home is a rare mix of modern luxury and historical character. It has seven bedrooms and seven bathrooms spread out over three floors. Neal Ward Properties had the listing.

Welcome to 2250 Vallejo Street, the most expensive home sold in the city of San Francisco in 2016.

The building was originally built in 1901 for wealthy fishpacking mogul James Madison — no, not the president. Its facade was restored to its original beaux-arts beauty.

The top-to-bottom restoration of the property took two years to complete.

The buyer of San Francisco's most expensive home was Kyle Vogt, cofounder of Twitch and Cruise Automation, according to OpenHouse.

Vogt bought the house for $21.8 million, according to Redfin, which makes it the biggest sale in the city so far this year. The home was originally listed for $28 million in November 2015, but the price was chopped by $3 million in June. It was San Francisco's most expensive listed home at the time of the sale.

Vogt is a serial entrepreneur who sold his car automation startup, Cruise Automation, to General Motors for a reported $1 billion in March; he remains its CEO. He's also a cofounder of the video streaming startup Twitch, which Amazon purchased for $970 million in 2014.

Vogt is known to some as the "Robot Guru" for his interest in robotics. He studied computer science and electrical engineering at MIT.

His new home was built in 1901 and has been turned into a contemporary-style mansion with 9,095 square feet of space. It has seven bedrooms and seven bathrooms spread out over three floors, and is situated on one of San Francisco's highest streets.

It was most recently owned by Tara and Bryan Meehan, who made a fortune on investments in Blue Bottle Coffee. The couple gutted and restored the home, but apparently never moved in.

The home was listed with Compass real estate.

Vogt did not immediately respond to Business Insider's request for comment.

Fashion designer Tommy Hilfiger has dropped the price of his Plaza Hotel penthouse yet again, this time to $58.9 million, according to the Wall Street Journal.

The 5,600-square-foot duplex has been on and off the market since 2013, when Hilfiger and his wife, Dee Ocleppo, first listed it for $80 million. At the time that made it one of the most expensive homes on the market in America.

It was later dropped to $75 million, and then to $68.95 million before dropping off the market a few months ago. It's now back, having switched realtors.

The condo is located on the 18th and 19th floors of the Plaza and has four bedrooms with views of Central Park and Fifth Avenue.

Hilfiger and his wife bought two separate units in the hotel for $25.5 million in 2008, combining them in an extensive renovation. At one point that year, Hilfiger seemed to have second thoughts and tried to unload the apartment mid-renovation, marketing it as a "fixer-upper” for $50 million. The price is now a mere $9 million more than that.

Douglas Elliman Real Estate now has the listing.

Welcome to Tommy Hilfiger's duplex at the top of New York's Plaza Hotel.

As you can see, the decor is quite grand. Hilfiger has decorated it with priceless art like Andy Warhol paintings and other pieces, but they are not included as part of the sale.

His All-American style is pervasive. “It’s not your cookie cutter new condo,” the listing agent told the Wall Street Journal.

The strategy to sell a bizarre home in Hillsborough, California, is changing course.

The unique house remained unsold after over a year the market, and now is being offered on — where else? — Airbnb, for $750 a night.

Known as the "Flintstones House" to Bay Area locals, the house was originally listed for $4.2 million in September 2015.

After two price chops, it seems no one is quite taken in by its charms enough to lay down that kind of cash. It's still listed for sale for $3.195 million.

Many neighbors and locals call the home an eyesore, especially after it was painted orange and purple. It's visible from a nearby highway and bridge, and is something of a local landmark.

Alain Pinel Realtors has the listing. Take a look around the home that has divided a community.

Even from far away, it's easy to see that the Flintstones House isn't a normal property.

It's made from concrete that's been painted orange and purple, though it was first finished in an off-white color when it was built in 1976.

The odd shape of the house was created by applying shotcrete to both a steel rebar structure and a series of mesh frames held up by inflated balloons typically used for aeronautical research.

Another milestone in Barack Obama's presidency has been set with the election of his successor, Donald Trump.

The election moved Obama closer to life after the presidency. And as Politico reported back in May, the Obamas have already settled on a post-Pennsylvania Avenue house to call home.

It's not the White House, but it'll do.

Though smaller than the Obamas' current, better-known abode, the house is still a lavish residence in a desirable neighborhood in the nation's capital. It was built in 1928, with 8,200 square feet and nine bedrooms. It was listed for sale at $5.3 million before going off the market in May.

The Obamas will lease the home from Joe Lockhart, who served as press secretary in President Bill Clinton's White House, until their younger daughter, Sasha, finishes high school.

The Obamas are trading white for brick at their newly leased mansion in the Kalorama section of DC.

It's gated and private, though it sits close to the road.

Amy Schumer has finally sold her "tiny"one-bedroom co-op on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, according to Variety.

Both the buyer and the final selling price are unknown. What is known: the apartment isn't actually so tiny.

Though last year the comedian joked about how, despite her fame, she still lives in a one-bedroom walk-up apartment, she neglected to mention that it was also a penthouse, technically.

It's located on the top floor of a beautiful brownstone building, steps from the Museum of Natural History and a block away from Central Park. It totals about 850 square feet and she bought the apartment for $1.695 million in September 2014, Curbed NY reports.

Schumer quietly listed the apartment last November for $2.075 million, as was first reported by the New York Post. Nearly a year later, the price on the cozy space had been reduced to $1.625 million with new brokers. The final listing price was $1.625 million, marking at least a $70,000 loss before realtors fees are factored in.

Modlin Group now had the listing.

The apartment is no typical New York shoe box — it's actually a penthouse on the top floor of an Upper West Side brownstone.

A gorgeous stone entryway with a wooden door allows entrance into the five-unit co-op building.

Schumer wasn't kidding about the walk-up, however. The apartment is on the fifth floor, and there's no elevator. At least the hallways are nice.

Another year, another price chop for Celine Dion's extravagant Jupiter Island property.

The price for the lavish house now stands at $38.5 million after a series of price chops over the last four years, according to The Wall Street Journal. It was originally asking $72.5 million in 2013.

The singer had previously lowered the price to $45.5 million after her husband, René Angélil, died last year.

Dion and her late husband bought the lot for $12.5 million in 2005 and the adjacent mansion for $7 million in 2008. They then razed the existing home to build the current spread.

The 5.5-acre property has views of the Atlantic Ocean, a four-bedroom guesthouse, a simulated golf range, pool house, and three separate pools. The main residence alone measures close to 10,000 square feet, with five bedrooms and a custom-designed walk-in closet. That closet even has an automated rack for clothing, as well as an automated carousel for shoes. 

Dion is selling the property because she spends most of her time in Las Vegas, where her residency at Caesars Palace will continue until 2019, according to the WSJ.

Cristina Condon of Sotheby’s International Realty now has the listing.

She and her late husband custom-designed the property themselves after buying two lots and razing one of the existing homes.

A new home built on speculation in the Bel Air neighborhood of Los Angeles is asking an earth-shattering $250 million. According to its website, it's the most expensive home ever listed in the US.

And it's certainly unlike any other home on the market. The mansion is built in a contemporary style, with stark geometry and huge plate-glass windows.

The home also comes outfitted with furniture, but it's not your standard Restoration Hardware package. It seems it was built with a very specific person in mind — a person who likes decommissioned decorative helicopters, gigantic Leica camera sculptures, velvet-roped lounge areas, and plush decorations that were purchased from Hermès.

As for the living spaces, there are two master suites, 10 "oversized VIP" suites for guests, 21 bathrooms, three separate and fully equipped kitchens, and no fewer than five bars.

It was built by the luxury developer Bruce Makowsky, whom the release refers to as the "spec king." He was also the mastermind behind the $70 million Beverly Hills house sold to Minecraft founder Markus "Notch" Persson in 2014.

"This home was curated for the ultimate billionaire who wants the best of everything that exists in life," Makowsky said in a release announcing the listing. "Until now, the ultra-luxury market was void of homes that even came close to matching the level of mega-yachts and private jets that billionaires spend millions of dollars on every year."

The sheer footprint of the mansion, spread across 38,000 square feet, is a sight to behold. The exterior decks alone are 17,000 square feet. Downstairs is a car park filled with over $30 million worth of collectible automobiles — all of which are included in the purchase.

Situated on a hill, the house has a 270-degree view overlooking the LA area — one of its defining features.

Inside is where things get a little bit funky. The decor is not your typical boilerplate luxe style.

January 19 is Barack Obama's last day in the White House. After the inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump, he and his family will be on their way to Palm Springs for vacation.

When they come back to DC, they will be settling into a home in the Kalorama section of DC, as Politico reported back in May.

It's not the White House, but it'll do.

Though smaller than the Obamas' former Pennsylvania Avenue address, the house is still a lavish residence in a desirable neighborhood. It was built in 1928, and it has 8,200 square feet and nine bedrooms. The move-in process has already begun.

Both Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and the family of Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner can be counted as the Obamas' new neighbors in Kalorama, as both have also recently purchased homes in the neighborhood.

The Obamas will lease the home from Joe Lockhart, who served as press secretary in President Bill Clinton's White House, until their younger daughter, Sasha, finishes high school. It was listed for sale at $5.3 million before going off the market in May.

Howard Schultz is marking the relinquishment of his Starbucks CEO position in a major way.

He reportedly dropped a cool $40 million on a glassy duplex penthouse at The Greenwich Lane development, sources told The Real Deal.

The property was described as a "jewel box in the sky" by the listing, and it had originally listed for $45 million. The apartment went into contract in February 2015, but the sale just recently closed via an anonymous LLC. 

Schultz is expected to step down from his leadership position on April 3, and he will focus on Starbucks' higher-end Reserve line and the company's social initiatives.

Anyone who saw the documentary or Broadway play would likely balk at living in the actual home that "Grey Gardens" inspired. They would likely balk even more at its price tag: $19.995 million.

But the East Hampton, New York, mansion where it all began now looks nothing like it did in the 1975 documentary showcasing the lives of Jackie Kennedy Onassis' ex-socialite relatives. 

Journalist and author Sally Quinn purchased the mansion with her husband, the late Washington Post editor Ben Bradlee, for $220,000 in 1979. They completely rehabilitated it to the current splendor that it now shows, according to The New York Times.

It's been almost two years since Michael Jackson's famed Neverland Ranch first came onto the market with a hefty $100 million price tag. 

Now it's back with a significantly lower listing price: $67 million. 

Renamed "Sycamore Valley Ranch," the 2,700-acre ranch in Los Olivos, California, was originally bought from Jackson by private investment firm Colony Capital for $23.5 million in 2008. It was subsequently restored and put back on the market, but it still hasn't sold.

When real estate mogul Jeff Greene listed his Beverly Hills mansion in November 2014 for $195 million, it was the most expensive home for sale in the US.

Later, he decided to try and rent it for $475,000 a month.

After nearly three years, it seems Greene is tired of hanging on to the property and is trying once again to offload it, according to Forbes. This time, the listing price is $129 million.

Called "Palazzo di Amore," Greene's home was built for parties. It has an entertainment complex and ballroom, a private-label vineyard, and parking garages for more than two dozen cars. According to a statement, the house was "eight years of hard work," and Greene is selling it because the East Coast is now his base of operations.

Greene made a fortune when the real estate bubble burst in Greece and is worth about $3.4 billion, according to Forbes.

Stacy Gottula and Mauricio Umansky of The Agency now 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.

Billionaire trader Stanley Druckenmiller, formerly a top investment strategist to George Soros, has listed his palatial Greenwich, Connecticut, estate for $31.5 million, the Wall Street Journal reported.

The estate has 12,238 square feet of living space and eight bedrooms in total. It sits on nearly 20 acres and is technically three lots combined into one.

Druckenmiller and his wife are selling the home because they don't get enough use out of it, listing agent Leslie McElwreath of Sotheby's International Realty told the Wall Street Journal.

Druckenmiller is also the former president of Duquesne Capital Management, which he founded before joining Soros Fund Management.

Let's take a look inside the home.

Built in 1928, this 8-acre Long Island estate has all the modern luxuries you would hope to get in a home of that price.

The estate was owned by Tamir Sapir, who emigrated from the former Soviet republic of Georgia and made his fortune in New York real estate. He died in 2014.

The current owner, whose identity is shrouded in mystery by a limited-liability corporation, bought the estate in 2013 for $15.9 million but reportedly never moved in.

Much of that acreage is taken up by manicured lawns and gardens. Long, winding driveways lead to the several structures situated on the property.

A house built on speculation in the Pacific Heights neighborhood of San Francisco is now asking $40 million. That makes it the most expensive house currently for sale in the city, according to Curbed.

Bill Campbell of Marble Management developed the property over the last four years, according to the Wall Street Journal. He demolished a 19th-century clapboard house to make room for this 11,000-square-foot limestone mansion.

Whoever buys the home will be able to count high rollers like Oracle billionaire Larry Ellison and Apple design guru Jony Ive as neighbors. 

Val Steele of Pacific Union International and Tom Biss of Sotheby's International Real Estate share the listing for the home, which has yet to formally hit the market.

Since the home was built from the ground up, there are no compromises on style.

It makes the most of its wide view with floor-to-ceiling windows throughout the house.

There's plenty of space for multiple sitting and living rooms.

Anyone who saw the documentary or Broadway play would likely balk at living in the actual home that "Grey Gardens" inspired. After all, the home was in poor shape during the filming of the documentary, and it's even rumored to be haunted.

But it's currently up for sale with a discounted price of $17.995 million — that's $2 million less than the owners of the home originally asked for when it listed in February.
