Home Lists for $22 Million"},"content":{"rendered":"

\n\tAround a decade ago, Lydia Hearst traded the East Coast for the West Coast. The heiress to William Randolph Hearst\u2019s publishing empire and the daughter of Patty Hearst left behind a New York City<\/a> condo she purchased in 2008 at age 23 to relocate to bigger marital digs in Los Angeles<\/a> with her soon-to-be husband, actor and comedian Chris Hardwick.<\/p>\n

\n\tNow both those properties have simultaneously hit the market. Hearst\u2019s former digs in Manhattan<\/a> just listed<\/a> for $2.2 million with Paul Kolbusz and his team at Corcoran, while her and Hardwick\u2019s impressive estate in the Los Feliz<\/a> neighborhood of Hollywood Hills<\/a> is up for sale<\/a> at $21.5 million with Hardwick\u2019s mother, Sharon Hills of Rodeo Realty.<\/p>\n

\n\tRecords show Hearst and Hardwick, who have relocated to the Central Coast, acquired their Los Feliz home in 2015 for $11 million and have since undertaken an extensive and meticulous restoration. Originally built and designed almost a century ago for affluent banker Victor Rossetti and his wife Irene at a cost of $47,000 by trailblazing architect Paul R. Williams, the Spanish Colonial Revival villa was designated as a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument in 2008. It\u2019s also covered under the Mills Act, which offers significant property tax savings in exchange for preserving the historic appearance.<\/p>\n

\n\tSet amid two parcels of securely gated land spanning over an acre near Griffith Park, the stucco and terracotta-roof structure is known as the Victor Rossetti Residence and features a total of 10 bedrooms and a dozen baths in roughly 9,000 square feet. Two-and-a-half levels of L-shaped living space are laced throughout with coffered and hand-painted ceilings, stained glass windows, whimsical wallpaper, built-in alcoves, and three ornate fireplaces.<\/p>\n

\n\tStanding out in the non-staged abode is a striking entry foyer that steps down to a fireside living room, plus a wood-paneled library. A formal dining room and a breakfast nook connect to an updated kitchen sporting floor-to-ceiling tile, top-tier appliances, and an accompanying butler\u2019s pantry and breakfast room, with other highlights including a primary suite with a separate sitting area and a massive walk-in closet, along with a media room, a pub-style lounge, a wine room, and a door disguised as a bookcase that leads to a lower-level room for entertaining.<\/p>\n

\n\tOutdoors, the lush grounds host a pool and a summer lounge, a pergola-shaded kitchen and barbecue setup, a fire pit and a two-way fireplace, and a \u201csecret\u201d garden with a koi pond, a citrus grove, and several fountains. Two guest spaces each have a full bath and kitchenette, and a two-car garage is supported by additional parking for up to 25 vehicles. An adjoining property tacked on by the couple includes a 1,500-square-foot home that comes with approved city plans for customization, a renovated pool, and a newly refurbished pool house.<\/p>\n

\n\tAs for Hearst\u2019s former pad (pictured above) on 57th Street in Manhattan\u2019s Gramercy neighborhood, across from the Hearst Tower, the model and actress paid $1.5 million for it 17 years ago; it last sold to the Wendy Rowinsky Revocable Trust in 2016 for around $2.5 million.<\/p>\n

\n\tPerched on the 30th floor of the Sheffield building, the two-bedroom, two-bath unit has just over 1,100 square feet and features a combined living and dining area offering city and Hudson River views via nearly 25 feet of windows wrapping its corner locale. The kitchen sports a marble backsplash and countertops paired with Bosch, Miele, and Sub-Zero appliances, a primary bedroom has a bath with a soaking tub and a shower, and another bedroom with a custom built-in Murphy bed can double as an office or den.<\/p>\n
