It didn’t take long for New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady to run a reverse on his recent apartment purchase.
The hunky hurler – who split from his long-time Manhattan-based squeeze, actress Bridget Moynahan, and is reportedly throwing passes to a number of eligible receivers, including model Gisele Bundchen – has put his sky-high Time Warner condo back on the market, this time for $16.5 million.
Measuring approximately 3,000 square feet, the three-bedroom, 31/2-bath apartment, located above the 70th floor in the complex’s North Tower, features 12-foot ceilings and direct Central Park views from every room. The two-time Super Bowl MVP bought the pad for $14.5 million last September to be closer to Moynahan, whose TV series “Six Degrees” is now on hiatus.
Last July, we reported that Brady and Moynahan were looking at downtown condos. But a few days later, Brady was seen in the company of another woman – described as a ravishing blonde (Gisele, perhaps?) – checking out another place in the same building.

Barnstorming
Lisa Bonder Kerkorian, ex-wife of automotive and entertainment billionaire Kirk Kerkorian, is selling her Bridgehampton property for $13.9 million, but someone else is going to have to put the finishing touches on the house and the land.
Built from a reassembled 200-year-old barn, the custom postmodern home on almost 2 acres includes six bedrooms, seven full baths and two half-baths, as well as plenty of high-tech touches in its media room, gourmet kitchen, wine cellar and gym. There are five fireplaces, polished cement and wide-plank wood flooring and large entertainment spaces overlooking a 12-acre reserve. The land also includes a pool and tennis court. The estate is located next to Kelly Klein’s horse farm.
Bonder Kerkorian, a former professional tennis player, moved out East from Los Angeles three years ago. She was married to the much older Las Vegas-based mogul for a month in 1999 after she became pregnant. During the nasty divorce proceedings (which included alleged wiretapping by Anthony Pellicano), it was discovered that Kirk Kerkorian, now 89, was not the child’s father, but he still agreed to pay her more than $50,000 a month in support, plus expenses.

Westchester record heads north: $42M
THE property with the highest-ever asking price in Westchester has just hit the market at $42 million.
Encompassing approximately 70 acres, the Bedford estate of the late Yvette Bluhdorn, the widow of Gulf and Western Chairman Charles Bluhdorn, includes a restored 20,000-square-foot, 23-room Georgian mansion built in the 1920s, another six-bedroom home of 8,000 square feet, several guest houses and two pools. The grand-scale property includes formal gardens, open acreage and a select few neighbors.
Bluhdorn, whose powerful husband built the exclusive 7,000-acre Casa de Campo resort in the Dominican Republic for them and a few of their friends – then sold it to the Fanjul family – reassembled the property after it had been subdivided into several parcels.
“It’s been greatly enhanced and improved upon since she bought it in 1990,” said Bedford broker Dan Ginnel, whose firm sold the then-25-acre estate to Mrs. Bluhdorn in 1990.
The $48M summer house
We thought Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein was being rather conservative when he paid only $27 million for an apartment on Central Park West.
Now we hear he’s earmarking more of his record $53 million bonus toward the purchase of a summer place.
Sources tell us that Blankfein is close to buying one of Southampton’s most elaborate estates, which has a $48 million price tag.
Located on exclusive Lake Agawam, the 10.6-acre estate known as Old Trees is owned by financier Donald A. Burns. The property includes a shingled 20,000-square-foot, 13-bedroom mansion and a historic barn with a gym, kitchen and three bedrooms. There’s also a cottage/pool house with three bedrooms, a clay tennis court and a pool with a blue-stone patio.
The main house has lake and ocean views, and includes grand-scale public rooms and a formal dining room with seating for 60.
Blankfein, who is traveling, could not be reached for comment, while his spokesman would not confirm or deny the transaction.
Listing broker Jay Flagg of Prudential Douglas Elliman said there’s an offer but no deal has been done.
