Photo-Illustration: Curbed; Photos: Getty Images In a housing market where even a fixer-upper with asbestos and serious water damage can’t seem to stay on the market for more than a few days , some notoriously unsellable celebrity homes have finally found buyers. Joe Pesci’s $6.5 million Jersey Shore home, for instance, sold earlier this month after two years on the market. Rosie O’Donnell’s Saddle River mansion sold in the spring, five years after first being listed .
This house is a perfectly fine 6,000-square-foot newish Spanish-style construction, but it’s, in our estimation, almost too normal for almost $8 million. There’s simply not a there there — it’s all white walls, pale-wood floors, and steel-framed windows. The outdoor space is also a bit underwhelming. There are just a couple of relatively shallow balconies and a narrow backyard and pool squeezed into one corner of the triangle-shaped lot.
This gated property is one of the priciest in the Mount Olympus neighborhood, and at 7,130 square feet and 0.44 acres, it’s also one of the largest. The aesthetics here, though, are just too all over the place. Fixtures and finishes look new but already dated, like the dark-brown kitchen cabinets with brown-streaked countertops . The striated herringbone-tile floors in the bathroom are chaotic. The frosted glass railings throughout the exterior do not look very expensive.
