Inside the Celebrity Homes Listed with Sotheby’s This Spring
From Old Hollywood estates to ultra-private London penthouses, this spring’s celebrity real estate market is offering a rare glimpse inside some of the world’s most fascinating homes. Beyond the recognizable names attached to these listings, many of the season’s standout properties share something even more compelling: exceptional design, architectural pedigree, and stories deeply tied to entertainment history.
Ariana Grande’s Wicked-Era London Penthouse
Buxmead, Hampstead, London
Listed for £16.95 Million
One of the season’s most talked-about listings is Ariana Grande’s former London penthouse, where the singer reportedly stayed while filming Wicked. Listed through U.K. Sotheby’s International Realty, the residence sits within the ultra-exclusive Buxmead development in Hampstead, often referred to as part of London’s “Billionaires’ Row.”
The penthouse delivers every element of modern luxury living: expansive terraces, wellness amenities, a private cinema, and sweeping city views. More resort than residence, the property reflects the growing demand for homes designed as complete lifestyle experiences.
Kathie Lee Gifford’s Waterfront Connecticut Estate
Greenwich, Connecticut
Listed for $100 Million
Kathie Lee Gifford’s sprawling waterfront estate has quickly become one of the spring’s most notable celebrity listings. Represented through Sotheby’s International Realty, the expansive Connecticut property combines classic East Coast elegance with the scale and privacy luxury buyers increasingly seek.
Set along the waterfront with manicured grounds and resort-style amenities, the estate embodies the timeless appeal of legacy properties that rarely come to market. At $100 million, it also stands among the season’s most significant celebrity offerings.
Tan France’s Design-Forward Utah Home
Salt Lake City, Utah
Listed for $7.5 Million
For buyers drawn to interiors with personality and a highly curated point of view, Tan France’s Tudor-inspired Utah home offers something entirely different. Listed through Summit Sotheby’s International Realty, the Queer Eye star’s residence became an instant conversation piece thanks to its layered interiors, moody color palette, and blend of traditional architecture with modern European influences.
More than just a celebrity mansion, the home feels deeply personal, reflecting the growing trend of luxury residences designed as extensions of individual style and identity.
Ava Gardner’s Former Midcentury Hollywood Home
Los Angeles, California
Listed for Nearly $3 Million
Old Hollywood glamour is also having a moment this spring. Ava Gardner’s former Los Angeles home recently hit the market, bringing with it the effortless indoor-outdoor lifestyle that continues to define Southern California luxury living.
Represented through Sotheby’s International Realty affiliates, the midcentury residence features walls of glass, clean architectural lines, and a distinctly cinematic atmosphere. While dramatically different from today’s ultra-modern celebrity compounds, homes like this continue to attract buyers seeking authenticity, character, and a direct connection to Hollywood history.
Katharine Hepburn’s Longtime Manhattan Townhouse
Turtle Bay Gardens, New York City
Listed for $6.195 Million
Adding to the wave of storied celebrity properties is Katharine Hepburn’s longtime Manhattan townhouse, listed through Sotheby’s International Realty earlier this spring. Located within the historic Turtle Bay Gardens enclave, the elegant New York residence blends timeless architecture with understated sophistication.
Featuring soaring ceilings, multiple fireplaces, and a private garden tucked behind the city streets, the townhouse reflects the quiet elegance long associated with Hepburn herself. The property also carries remarkable cultural history, having remained in the actress’s ownership for decades.
Bing Crosby’s Former Hillsborough Estate
Hillsborough, California
Listed for Approximately $40 Million
On the West Coast, Bing Crosby’s former Hillsborough estate recently returned to the market following a reported $3 million renovation. Represented in part by Golden Gate Sotheby’s International Realty, the grand French château-style residence spans more than 18,000 square feet and remains one of Northern California’s most iconic legacy estates.
Originally purchased by Crosby in the 1960s, the home balances historic grandeur with modern luxury through carefully updated interiors, redesigned landscaping, and restored architectural details. In a market increasingly filled with contemporary builds, estates like this continue to stand apart for their history, craftsmanship, and sense of permanence.
This spring’s celebrity listings reveal that today’s luxury market is about far more than square footage alone. Buyers are increasingly drawn to homes with provenance, personality, and a story worth telling. Whether tied to blockbuster films, Hollywood legends, or celebrated tastemakers, these Sotheby’s-listed properties offer something exceptionally rare: the opportunity to own a piece of cultural history.
