Kristina Kovalenko, princess of the tiny Russian republic of Kabardino-Balkaria (don't worry, it's not just you; we've never heard of it either), sure knows how to live like royalty in America. She's just put her posh New York City condo on the market, and it's worth every penny of the $8 million asking price. Well,... Continue Reading »

We at AOL Real Estate are partial to beach houses that are non-traditional, so naturally, this one caught our fancy. With its boxy, ultramodern exterior, out-of-this-world sculptures, glass light fixtures, starship entryways and other futuristic and quirky decor (is that a couch and loveseat made from car parts?), this...

We've featured some fairly majestic mansions in the past. But none of them live up to what this listing calls the "incomparably majestic" Chateau d'Or in Bel Air, Calif. But perhaps "majesty" isn't a term everyone would agree with. In a previous article about this 15-bedroom, 16-bathroom mansion, Curbed called it a... Continue Reading »

This mansion in Houston is one of the weirdest things we've ever seen: It's like someone took pieces of a classic, stately chateau and an uber-modern spread and smashed them together. The listing calls the home "masterfully re-imagined," but as our friends at Curbed put it, that would be "totally accurate if said master... Continue Reading »

We clearly love swanky European pads, and we think this one can awaken you from your gluttonous, Thanksgiving weekend-induced stupor. Located in Paris, this flat has got stunning views of the Eiffel Tower, as well as gorgeous latticed rooftop gardens, an intriguing mix of contemporary and vintage decor -- and what our...

This property is a dream come true for anyone who loves the outdoors. The 5-acre ranch, located in Ashton, Idaho, comes complete with a four-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom log home. Equestrians should be especially excited about this home. For $795,000 you not only get one of the most rustically attractive log cabins we've seen,... Continue Reading »

A second #housepornthurs victory goes to @PacUnion (Pacific Union International) for tweeting this mind-blowing California villa. The runner-up was a listing submitted by @Ryan_Estately (of the Estately blog). Perched over Phoenix Lake and Mt. Tamalpais, "Villa Della Pace," listed for $11.495 million, boasts...

Happy Monday, all! Not sure about you guys, but the past week's been pretty rough, and we sort of wish we were in the European countryside somewhere. Sipping, perhaps, on a glass of pinot noir and basking in the golden French soleil -- maybe in the sprawling, 300-acre backyard of this stunning French chateau in idyllic... Continue Reading »

The New York City duplex penthouse formerly owned by designer Calvin Klein has hit the market for $35 million. The apartment, currently owned by ex-record exec Steve Gottlieb, overlooks iconic Central Park and has been largely unused for years. The glass cube home has undergone several changes, most notably when Klein... Continue Reading »

Funnyman Eddie Murphy's stunning Englewood, N.J., mansion has been on the market for a while, at a serious asking price of $14.9 million. We've had our eye on this sweet piece of real estate for years -- what with its two-lane bowling alley, racquetball court, indoor swimming pool pavilion, wooden spa and elevators....

A stand-out #housepornthurs submission from @FHAllenRealtors, this geometrically captivating residence is hailed as a "rock star modern home" on its listing. We see no reason to disagree. The enchanting mansion nestles into a hillside perch in Petaluma, Calif., that's blanketed with trees and vegetation. Flaunting a... Continue Reading »

Congrats to @GBRSportingClub for submitting this week's #housepornthurs winner! And a shout-out to runner-up @cbrci (Coldwell Banker RCI) for throwing their hat in the ring as well! One of a cluster of luxury homes at Greenbrier Resort, this mountain home faces the third-hole fairway of The Greenbrier golf course. The... Continue Reading »

Stella McCartney, the daughter of Beatles great Paul McCartney, is famous for her sense of style. In fact, the fashion bigwig's company designed the gear of Team Great Britain for the Olympics, according to Time magazine. That makes the attention her London townhouse has recently received somewhat ironic: The apartment... Continue Reading »

Have you ever seen a celebrity's home and thought, "Of course they'd live there"? This was exactly our reaction when we laid eyes on the former Paris home of iconic Impressionist painter Pierre-Auguste Renoir. Located in the artist's hub that is Montmartre, it is exactly how we'd imagine the master painter's home to look... Continue Reading »
