This Just In: Sting Settles on Central Park West

According to Big Time, Sting has purchased a 5,500-square-foot condo unit on the 16^th floor of a Central Park West building for $26.5 million. Apparently, according to records, Sting actually signed a contract to purchase the unit on May 26, 2006, but the deal didn't formally close until March 11, 2008. So, this purchase has been almost two years in the making! The CPW building is truly magnificent, boasting an elegant motor courtyard, a 35-x-45-foot limestone and marble lobby with two fireplaces and custom English oak paneling, an unprecedented view of Central Park and the Manhattan skyline, a 75-foot sky-lit lap pool, a private theater screening room, a private library, and 30 climate-controlled wine rooms. Sting also owns an 18-room duplex co-op elsewhere on Central Park West, which was at one point on the market for $24 million, meaning he and his wife now own more than $50 million worth of real estate on Central Park West! Ohhh, to be a pop rocker . . . Check out images of Sting's new building below.

This Just In: Conan Moves to Brentwood

CasaSugar — Mon, 21 Jan 2008 09:00:02 -0800

It seems that getting back to hosting Late Night hasn't kept Conan O'Brien quite busy enough. The red-haired funny man has also been real estate shopping, and recently purchased a 6 bedroom, 8.5 bath New England Traditional-style gated home on Tigertail Road in Brentwood, California. This will be quite the geographic move for Mr. O'Brien and his family, who currently live in New York City at The Majestic on Central Park West, which he purchased in late 2006 for a reported $9,950,000.

To hear more about the Brentwood home and to see some pictures, read more.

The Brentwood house is a massive and well-appointed beauty, featuring six fireplaces, six en suite bedrooms, a 1500 bottle wine room, a paneled library with bar, and a 60 feet-long veranda. The master bedroom suite comes replete with balcony, sitting room, dual baths, and giant fitted closet. Other awesome amenities include a screening room, a spa, an outdoor kitchen, and a heated pool.

What do you think of the new house? Is it too East Coast trad for the West Coast, or do you think it's big and beautiful enough for any entertainment mogul, regardless of locale?
