Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones’s Former Home Has Us Starry-Eyed
Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones—acting wizards and a power couple for the past 24 years—are finally, and reluctantly, saying goodbye to their 1929 estate in Irvington, New York. It’s bittersweet news for the two, who have lived there since 2019, but (we’re all about silver linings here!) it could be great news for you. That is, if you have $12 million on the ready.
The celebrity duo is parting ways with their massive Westchester County abode at 2 Fargo Lane because their kids—21 and 23 years old—have officially left the nest. “When I purchased our Irvington home I knew our family would share many happy times here, and we have,” Zeta-Jones told The Wall Street Journal.
This estate offers views upon views and more acreage than you will know what to do with!
Who wouldn’t enjoy 12 acres of open property; 11,653 square feet of space across four floors; an elegant, black marble loggia; an outdoor terrace (overlooking the majestic Hudson River, no less); and a heated indoor pool? That’s not even all of it. The house—dubbed Longmeadow—also has an interior gallery, a summer kitchen, and a whopping eight en-suite bedrooms and 12 bathrooms, according to its Compass listing, held by agent David Turner.
The veritable mansion boasts a red statement wall in the dining room (echoed across other rooms, like the salon); sleek, gold pendants over the kitchen island; an absolutely grandiose library, whose wood paneling and two-story, built-in bookcases make it look like something straight out of Bridgerton; and bathrooms equipped with Carrara marble fireplaces (we repeat: Fireplaces. In. Bathrooms). It’s safe to say everyone will find something that speaks to them in this oversized, glammed-up home.
The two-story bookshelves in the library make this space fit for royalty.
The Wall Street actor and Chicago actress are asking for a sum of $12 million in exchange for all of these perks, which means they’ll turn a profit of $7.5 million based on the price for which they originally bought the house. If this transaction is, indeed, successful, it will mark yet another win in the books (albeit not Oscar-related) for Douglas and Zeta-Jones—who very much deserve to rest on their well-earned laurels at this point.
