Inside Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas’ palatial $12 million estate for sale: Indoor pool, riverfront views and more
Empty-nesters Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas are selling their luxurious $12 million Westchester County, NY, mansion.
“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 of the palatial riverfront home they purchased five years ago.
The “Mask of Zorro” actress, 54, and Douglas, 79 — who share son Dylan, 23, and daughter Carys, 21 — decided to list their home now that both of their children have flown the coop.
“Now that both our son and daughter have left the nest it seems like the right time to sell,” Zeta-Jones shared, adding that they plan on spending most of their time in Bermuda and Europe.
The couple, who tied the knot in 2000, purchased the 12-acre estate for $4.5 million in 2019 and renovated the home, dubbed Longmeadow, while preserving its original 1920s features.
The four-story pad — spanning 11,653 square feet — exudes opulence and timeless splendor, thanks to its Georgian-style brick and stone design, and features eight en-suite bedrooms and 12 bathrooms.
The first floor includes an indoor pool, a gym and a recreation room. The formal living room, salon, study, family room and kitchen are attached to a 30-foot interior gallery.
The gourmet chef’s kitchen has a modern farmhouse feel, with white-tiled walls, marble countertops, Miele appliances and gold hardware detailing.
The two-story library has an heir of elegance thanks to its wood-paneled walls, black-brick wood-burning fireplace, round-topped French windows and an antique candle and crystal chandelier.
In contrast, the living room has a more contemporary aesthetic, with clean white walls and furniture and eye-catching modern art to pull the space together.
The dining room can accommodate a long dining table for dinner parties and has plenty of natural light.
The lavish primary suite has a sitting room, fireplace and a large walk-in closet.
Hugging the impressive property is a 100-foot terrace with plenty of seating and a view of the Hudson River.
The desirable deck features a staircase with an iron rod railing that leads out to the lush green garden and patio area.
The estate offers “a once in a lifetime opportunity to enjoy a life of unparalleled beauty, luxury and privacy,” according to the listing.
