Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas are going through tough times as a couple but the Zeta-Jones/Douglas Bedford marital home is not on the market.
In fact, Zeta-Jones just bought a home for her mother, Pat, diagonally across the street on Guard Hill Road for just over $1.9 million.
The home is off the road and comes with a pond and a pool — all in a fabulous location, our spies say.
Run for Mayer
Every now and then the real masters of the universe sell their Upper East Side homes. Private equity honcho Marc Mayer, a partner and CEO of GMO LLC, a privately owned global investment management firm with more than $100 billion in assets, and his wife, Meera, are selling their 16th-floor penthouse duplex at 1185 Park Ave. for $27.5 million.
The five-bedroom, six-bathroom co-op features a “palatial” landscaped wrap terrace that measures an impressive 2,850 square feet. The fully renovated home comes with an entrance gallery, a 24-foot domed ceiling and a sweeping marble staircase. There’s a woodburning fireplace with a “dramatic antique French mantel,” a custom 700-bottle wine cellar, chef’s kitchen, library, sky room and a master bedroom suite with a “traditional mahogany paneled dressing room,” walk-in closets and custom built-ins.
It also comes with a powerful finance player as neighbor — on the same floor is Jamie Dimon, chairman, CEO and president of JPMorgan Chase.
Brown Harris Stevens broker Cathy Franklin has the listing.
