Photo-Illustration: Curbed; Photos: Getty Images It took three years and a $10 million price cut, but Steve Mnuchin, Donald Trump’s Secretary of the Treasury, has finally sold his apartment at 740 Park Avenue. The buyer, Lacey A. Tisch, the daughter of Loews magnate Andrew Tisch, purchased the apartment for $22.5 million using a trust in her name, according to city records.

A Rare Brooklyn Townhouse Listing: Unrenovated, Unstaged and Filled to the Brim

Written by The Villages FL Mortgage Syndicated User on . Posted in The Villages FL Mortgage, The Villages FL Mortgage Calculator, The Villages FL Mortgage Company, The Villages FL Mortgage Rates.

301 Greene Avenue Photo: Google Maps As housing prices in Brooklyn have shot up over the last few decades, it’s become rare to see townhouse listing photos that are anything less than shelter-mag worthy. Occasionally, there might be some photos of a partially-gutted house: rooms stripped down to the studs, wires dangling from the ceiling, maybe a few broken floorboards that only add to the romantic charm. Looking at them, it’s easy to imagine yourself — or perhaps more accurately, your contractor — in the role of renovating savior: refinishing the floors, stripping paint...

Julianne Moore Sells Her West Village Townhouse for $15 Million

Written by The Villages FL Mortgage Syndicated User on . Posted in The Villages FL Mortgage, The Villages FL Mortgage Calculator, The Villages FL Mortgage Company, The Villages FL Mortgage Rates.

Photo: Tal Rubin/GC Images The nice thing about selling New York City real estate? If you can’t get the price you want now, just wait a few years and you probably will. You may even get more. Like actress Julianne Moore, who, according to city records, just sold her West Village townhouse for $15 million.

A few years later, the house was back on the market, asking a little more: $12.5 million. Again, no takers, and she bided her time. Certainly, it doesn’t seem to have...

He gestured across the living room to the retractable glass wall and the balcony, which opens onto the emerald expanse of the Pacific Ocean. “If you hear that word, wow, you know you got them.” A key part of Nosrati’s...
