Inside Marc Anthony’s Florida home

After four years on the market, a lavish Mediterranean mansion in Florida’s Coral Gables area has found a buyer: Marc Anthony.

The Latin singer-actor, through a corporate entity, paid $19 million (Dh69.77 million) for the palatial estate, which connects by waterway to Biscayne Bay.

Hilda Maria Bacardi, great-great-granddaughter of Bacardi founder Facundo Bacardi Masso, was the seller. She had it listed for $27.26 million two years ago before dropping the price to $25 million last August.

Dubbed Casa Costanera, the estate spans 1.3 acres in the affluent Cocoplum community. Arched doorways and designer finishes fill the interiors, which has 12 bedrooms and 14 bathrooms within its roughly 21,000 square feet.

Highlights of the home include an indoor-outdoor living room set beneath coffered ceilings, a double-island kitchen with cherry cabinetry and a master suite with a sitting room and fireplace. An elevator serves all three floors.

Outside, a loggia leads out to a resort-like backyard with a swimming pool and spa. The property sits on a corner lot and has 480 square feet of water frontage and a 100-foot dock.

Anthony, 49, has won two Grammys and five Latin Grammys during his musical career, which began in the ‘80s. He has an East Coast-inspired Traditional home on the market for $3.25 million in Tarzana.

Zsa Zsa Gabor’s longtime Bel-Air estate has come on the market at $23.45 million — more than twice what it sold for a year ago, $10.45 million, public records show.

The French Regency-style mansion, built in 1955, sits on a 0.4-hectare gated hilltop with views of downtown Los Angeles, Catalina Island and the ocean. It’s being offered with permitted plans for a new 24,020-square-foot mansion designed by Los Angeles-based company Harrison Design.

Fronted by a large motor court, the mustard-yellow house has about 6,400 square feet of living space and 28 rooms that include a circular foyer, scaled formal rooms, staff quarters, an office and a butler’s pantry off the kitchen. The living room features an antique French fireplace with a mirror surround.

Outside are a swimming pool, a gazebo and brick patios. A red-carpeted staircase leads up to a rooftop terrace.

Gabor, who died in 2016 at 99, bought the house in 1973 for $280,000.

Reclusive magnate Howard Hughes and Elvis Presley are among former residents. Guests of the storied home, according to Frederic Prinz von Anhalt, Gabor’s ninth husband, included Ronald and Nancy Reagan, Frank Sinatra, Henry Kissinger and both former Presidents Bush.

Gabor, remembered as a darling of the tabloids, was the best-known of three acting and socialite sisters from Hungary. She had scores of television and film appearances, including a star turn in the 1952 film Moulin Rouge.

Actor Dennis Quaid has tossed his Pacific Palisades home on the market at $6.495 million. He bought the place five years ago for $5.1 million, records show.

Obscured from the street by hedges and a thicket of bamboo, the gated Spanish-style home sits on more than .30 hectare with a 10-car motor court, a swimming pool and spa and a grove of fruit trees.

The home, which dates from 1929, features a tiled rotunda entry that opens to a vaulted-ceiling living room with a massive stone fireplace. The 6,114 square feet of living space also holds a media room, an office, a breakfast room and a chef’s kitchen with two refrigerators.

There are six bedrooms and nine bathrooms, including guest and staff quarters on the main floor. A sitting room, two closets and two bathrooms compose the master suite.

A raised terrace and patio areas create additional living space outdoors. Large palms dot the landscaped grounds.

Quaid, 64, starred this year and last in the series Fortitude. His film work includes Pandorum (2009), Vantage Point (2008) and The Day After Tomorrow (2004). Last year, the actor appeared in the adventure-comedy flick A Dog’s Purpose.

Actress, model and animal activist Denise Richards has sold her home in LA’s Hidden Hills neighbourhood for $4.75 million. That’s a hair above the $4.395 million she paid for the acre-plus estate in 2007 and about $3 million less than her original asking price from two years ago — $7.749 million.

The fenced and gated spread centres on a traditional-style home that was built in 1991. The house has more than 8,300 square feet of interiors that includes six bedrooms, eight bathrooms, a formal dining room and an over-the-top kitchen with a pizza oven.

Custom details are evident in the living room, which pairs black walls with blood-red accents. Two temperature-controlled and glass-enclosed wine walls flank the fireplace in the den/tasting room. A chandelier-topped dog hotel with built-in kennels and a pet-washing station is another feature added by Richards.

Outdoors, there’s a lagoon-style pool with two swimming areas, a grotto and waterfall features. A separate, 800-square-foot entertainer’s pavilion holds a kitchen and dining area. Lawns and formal landscaping fill out the grounds.

Richards, 47, starred as Bond girl Dr. Christmas Jones in the 1998 film The World Is Not Enough. Her other credits include Starship Troopers (1997), Undercover Brother (2002) and Scary Movie 3 (2003).

This year, the actress has stayed busy, with a leading role in the horror film The Toybox.
