Pompano Beach, FL (PRWEB) June 17, 2014

Suzanne Somers’ Palm Springs Compound

From: TopTenRealEstateDeals.com

The world has known and loved Suzanne Somers from her 1973 break-though cameo as the blonde beauty in the Thunderbird in American Grafitti to ditzy character, Chrissy Snow, on Threes Company from 1977 through 1981, and as Carol Lambert on Step by Step from 1991 through 1998. In between, her life was a whirlwind with Playboy pictorials, spokeswoman for Thighmaster and another TV series that ran for two years, Shes the Sheriff.

Just as beautiful today as she was back in the 1970s, this powerhouse of a woman has long been one of Hollywood’s major celebrities. In addition to her television roles, Suzanne has been a Las Vegas singer and dancer, talk show host, Broadway performer and USO star for the United States military. She is almost as famous for her commercials promoting health and beauty products – she was recently named to the Infomercial Hall of Fame for her legendary role as the Thighmaster pitch person. She has shared her self-help tips, beauty secrets and nutrition in over twenty books she has published.

Suzanne and her TV host husband, Alan Hamel, have created an earthy and at the same time glamorous Palm Springs, California estate which is now back on the market. Modeled after Loustau De Baumaniere in Provence, France, the Somers-Hamel compound is pure romantic sophistication and is surrounded by privacy. On 73 acres and set into the side of a craggy mountainside above the valley in Mesa Canyon, the couple has combined their love of nature and elegance by bringing out the best in both with their use of contrast. Imagine crystal chandeliers twinkling against natural rock and reclaimed wood . . . rough against smooth, soft against hard . . . all in perfect balance. To add even more intrigue, access is via a private funicular, a golf cart or a hillside of stone steps – but no cars.

The entire estate includes five buildings to explore with 10,000 square feet of pavilions. One houses the master suite, another dining and living room, a separate two-room kitchen and wine cellar and a stone guest house designed in the 1920s by Albert Frey. There is also an outdoor amphitheater carved into the mountain that seats 50, has a dance floor, as well as a pool, spa, hiking trails and natural waterfall that spills musically down the hillside.

Suzanne Somers and Alan Hamel have listed their romantic, private Palm Springs retreat, asking $ 14,500,000. The home was first listed in 2008 for $ 35 million. The listing agent is Joyce Rey of Coldwell Banker Previews International in Beverly Hills.

Hot Celebrity Home News: Katharine Hepburn’s Family Home in Connecticut For Sale at $14.8 Million

Friday, July 4th, 2014


Pompano Beach, FL (PRWEB) May 29, 2014

Charming, genteel and with her passion for life and work barely contained under her sophisticated manner, Katharine Hepburn was one of those remarkable women with a style of her own and a mind of her own who lived life her own way. The common denominator that propelled her work to excellence and her heady relationships with the great loves of her life such as Spencer Tracy was passion. She expressed it in other ways too, when in 1939, she designed a charming seaside home to be built on family-owned land in the Fenwick neighborhood of Old Saybrook, Connecticut, on the banks of Long Island Sound. The family had owned the land since 1913, which had been settled as early as the 1600s. Today, it is a community of 83 homes and well known for its golf, swimming and boating.

This is the home where Katharine spent her summers, but lived there full-time for seven years until her death at the age of 96 in 2003. One can’t help but grin at the photograph of Katharine standing next to her beloved Keep Out sign at the home’s entrance. It was so Katharine. Perfectly situated and private, from the Long Island Sound side there are views of the dock, protective jetties and the Saybrook Breakwater Lighthouse marking the entrance to the Connecticut River. Across from the entrance are three acres of conservation land with a large pond. Consisting of 15 nautically inspired rooms in the 8,368-square-foot home, everything is white, sunny and spacious with six bedrooms and eight baths and with superb views out of every window. There are seven fireplaces to keep it cozy and expansive porches and verandas to take in the views.

Katharine’s home tastefully combines the feeling of beach house and permanent home. Even though the original house was destroyed by a hurricane in 1938 and rebuilt by Katharine, the rebuild and later total renovation holds special charm and retains historical features. It was further completely renovated in 2005 by New York builder Frank Sciame.

Katharine Hepburns Old Saybrook home with private beach, dock and over 680 feet of shoreline on Long Island Sound, previously listed at $ 28 million, now priced at $ 14.8 million. The listing agent is Colette Harron of William Pitt Sotheby’s International Realty.
