Annbeth Eschbach, the founder and owner of the Exhale spa chain, and her husband, Patrick Parcells, are selling their Shelter Island estate for $6.27 million.
The six-bedroom, 6½-bath, 5,015-square-foot home, with five fireplaces, is on 5.6 acres. It comes with a pool and room-to-build tennis courts.
The beach manse is tucked away behind a century-old beech hedge in the estate section of Dering Harbor Village.
The home comes with decks, a separate entrance for guests or staff, a 1,000-plus-bottle wine cellar, gym and game room, along with radiant heat and a utility room with “energy efficient geo-thermal systems,” according to the listing.
There’s also a Zen garden, yoga patch — natch — and outdoor shower along with 40-foot-tall weeping beech trees.
For the “serious boater,” there’s also an option for shared access to a 300-foot-deep water dock with lift, waterfront cabana and deck.
Penelope Moore, of Saunders & Associates, has the listing.
Going Ali in
Tehran-born, New York-based artist Ali Banisadr, and his wife, film and TV producer Kristel Wedin, were the buyers who paid the record setting $1.25 million for a unit at 105 Lexington Ave. in Bedford-Stuyvesant. Banisadr, whose work is in part based on his experience as a refugee from the Iran-Iraq War has been exhibited across the US and Europe and been compared to Renaissance painter Hieronymus Bosch.
The 1,648 square foot duplex comes with a 657-square-foot roof deck. The broker was Kathleen Perkins of Douglas Elliman.
Vinny, vidi, vici
Brooklyn’s Adrian Grenier — whose new film version of HBO’s “Entourage” seems to be finally underway after much financial haggling — was spotted checking out 28 Putnam Ave., a commercial garage joined to a 3,200-square-foot, 19th-century carriage house in Clinton Hill. The property had been on the market for $1.85 million but prices have soared so much in that gentrifying ‘hood that it is now asking $2.29 million, befitting of Grenier’s Vinnie Chase character.
The neighborhood “immortalized by rappers in their lyrical hits” according to the listing was once the old stomping grounds of none other than Biggie Smalls, who grew up a block away from the house. Listing broker Kathleen Perkins, of Douglas Elliman, believes that the home would be great for foodies or artists.
“The garage could become a restaurant, or an artist’s or recording studio,” she says. “This could be our biggest corner property in all of Clinton Hill.”
She’s one hot Bond girl
We hear that Italian fashion mogul Cristina Calori, who bought 31 Bond St. for $8.2 million in 2010 through broker Paolo Zampolli, just sold the building for $16 million, again through Zampolli. The new owner is Joshua Gurwitz, of Good Properties, who, we hear, wants to develop a luxury condo on the tiny street, which boasts Ian Schrager’s 40 Bond, designed by Herzog & de Meuron and the late Tony Goldman’s 25 Bond St. Zampolli had sued real estate brokerage Massey Knakal — and settled out of court — over a $212,500 commission in 2010. But all is well that ends well on Bond Street.
