Mrs. Maisel’s Tony Shalhoub departs classic five on the UWS

As The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel wraps filming its final season, co-star Tony Shalhoub is looking to unload his Upper West Side co-op. Shalhoub and wife Brooke Adams have lived in a five-room apartment at 15 West 81st Street since 2016, when they spent about $4 million on the unit. They’re now listing the 12th-floor home for a smidge under $4.5 million.

Designed by renowned architect Emery Roth—who built the San Remo, the Ritz Tower, and the nearby Beresford—the 16-story building was completed in 1930. Shalhoub and Adams restored many original details, including the oak herringbone floors, basket-weave mosaic floors in the bathroom, and the Roth-designed doorknobs and accessories throughout.

“This is a sophisticated restoration of an earlier era,” reads the listing, which is with James Foreman of Brown Harris Stevens.

Ronan Farrow and Jon Lovett list L.A. home

Pulitzer-winning journalist Ronan Farrow and fiancé Jon Lovett, co-host of Pod Save America, have listed their three-bedroom home in Los Angeles’s Fairfax District for $2.075 million. The couple purchased the nearly 2,000-square-foot Spanish-style bungalow in 2019 for $1.87 million.

Built in 1926, the home is gated and surrounded by privacy hedges. Its backyard features a swimming pool and a pulldown screen for outdoor movie nights. The interior combines modern amenities with 1920s details like barrel-vaulted ceilings and an exposed brick fireplace, according to Jenna Cooper of Compass, who has the listing.

Meanwhile, Farrow and Lovett have moved on to larger digs. The couple recently purchased Vanessa Hudgens’s Los Feliz home for $6.7 million, according to Dirt.com: The Georgian colonial was built by Hollywood pioneer Cecil B. DeMille and reportedly served as a love nest for the filmmaker and his longtime mistress, actress Julia Faye.

Be a Connecticut Yankee in Mark Twain’s home

The sellers of the 29-acre property where writer Samuel Clemens—better known to the world as Mark Twain—spent his final years have lowered the price on the estate.

Located in Redding, Connecticut, Stormfield—named for Twain’s final published story, “Captain Stormfield’s Visit to Heaven”—originally went on the market in July 2021 for $4.2 million. Now the residence at 30 Mark Twain Lane has been re-listed for $3.9 million. 

Twain built the home after the death of his wife, Olivia, and lived there from 1908 until his own passing in 1910. Destroyed by fire in 1923, the 6,300-square-foot house was rebuilt two years later with the same Tuscan villa–inspired stone walls, terraces, and gardens. The five-bedroom main house is notable for its yellow-painted walls and marble and hardwood floors, as well as for its formal living room, with a hand-painted coffered ceiling and adjoining library. There’s also a staff retreat and carriage house with extra bedrooms. Less than 60 miles from midtown Manhattan, Stormfield has some modern-era amenities as well, including a heated gunite pool and a garage with space for three cars.

Laura Freed Ancona of William Pitt Sotheby’s International Realty has the listing.

Steven Harris adds variety to the Upper East Side

AD100 honoree Steven Harris is offering an early look at his new ground-up building on New York’s Upper East Side: The 20-story 109 East 79 will be home to just 31 units, in two- to five-bedroom layouts. “We wanted to create a building that had a variety in its size but also in its character, views, and how they’re organized,” Harris told Mansion Global.

Residents will also have access to private landscaped gardens, including a water wall designed by Mig Perkins, and a two-story Wright Fit fitness center with pilates equipment, a squash court, a golf simulator, and full-service spa.

Prices range from $5.5 million for a two-bedroom residence to $35 million for a full-floor penthouse. Corcoran Sunshine Marketing Group’s Cathy Franklin Team is leading sales and marketing.

Listed for $16.85 million, the 4,140-square-foot half-floor model residence at 6 West was furnished by Harris and his partner, interior designer Lucien Rees Roberts. It features direct elevator access to five bedrooms and ensuite bathrooms, a formal dining room, eat-in kitchen, and luxury materials like Maya quartzite, Imperial Danby marble, and custom Dornbracht fixtures.

Crisis averted in doorman buildings

Just as luxury real estate in New York is emerging from a pandemic-fueled downtown, the city narrowly avoided a strike by the thousands of door staff and maintenance workers who belong to Local 32BJ of the Service Employees International Union. The union reached an agreement with the Realty Advisory Board on Labor Relations on April 20, averting what would have been its first strike since 1991. Had it not, open houses and renovations would have been paused, and tenants in more than 3,000 buildings may have been left sorting their own mail and hauling trash to the curb, among other duties.

As a result of negotiations, wages will increase an average of 3% over four years, meaning that a typical doorman’s pay will be about $62,000 by 2026, when the new contract expires. Union members were able to avoid concessions of health care premiums, sick pay, and vacation time. Union president Kyle Bragg commended door staff for taking on additional duties and risking their health during the height of the pandemic. Reportedly, at least 40 members of the doorman’s union died from COVID-19 during the past two years. “They were there, keeping our buildings running and our communities safe, when the city needed them most,” Bragg told The New York Times.
