NOTABLE FIGURE: 10. In just 10 days, a Spanish-style residence in Los Angeles, previously owned by Oscar-winning actress Emma Stone, found a buyer. Listed for $3.99 million by Sotheby’s International Realty earlier this year, the almost century-old property boasts four bedrooms, four bathrooms, double-vaulted ceilings, and a guest house. As of now, the property is under contract for sale.
SIDE NOTE: A property nestled along the Hudson River in rural Orange County, New York, currently listed at $2.5 million, carries historical ties to both Billy Joel and J.P. Morgan. Comprising a 4,288-square-foot main home, a three-bedroom carriage house, and a separate one-bedroom cottage on 2.2 acres, this residence stands on the same foundation as Cragston, J.P. Morgan’s 1880s summer estate. Listing agent Jody Atkinson notes that the home includes the original outdoor patio, fireplace, and mantel. Destroyed in a fire in 1948, Cragston was rebuilt in the 1950s using the original foundation, surviving fireplace, and bricks. In the 1970s, musician Billy Joel rented the house, where he is said to have composed the song “New York State of Mind” in an upstairs bedroom. The property’s current owners have operated it as a bed and breakfast, featuring a specially dedicated “Billy Joel Room.”
