A Year in Review: Best Celebrity Homes up for Sale in 2016

No matter where we live or who we share our space with, one thing is for sure: we should always have house goals. And while opting for an entirely marbleized bathroom à la Meryl Streep or an oceanfront cottage view comparable to Leonardo Dicaprio’s isn’t entirely realistic – we can always dream. Here, we’ve rounded up the best celebrity homes that hit the market in 2016.

Meryl Streep’s $28.5 Million NYC Townhouse

Award-winning actress Meryl Streep renders us speechless with every role she takes on, and her portrayal as Julia Child is no exception. Judging by her past NYC abode’s stunning neon-hued kitchen, we imagine she still has a knack for all things culinary. The five-story townhouse in Greenwich village also contains 15 rooms, six fireplaces, a master bathroom clad in Calacatta marble and a sprawling outdoor garden.

Leonardo Dicaprio’s $10.95 Million Malibu Pad

In viewing photos of Leonardo Dicaprio’s luxe Malibu cottage he sold this year, we can’t help but call to mind scenes from Wolf of Wall Street. With a spacious oceanfront deck and brilliant beachside views, this 1,765-square-foot bungalow is worthy of a warm-weather bash or two.The modern interior on the other hand, with soothing grey and wood tones and plush furniture, makes it a welcome retreat where low-key afternoons are mandatory.

Nate Burkus’s $9.8 Million Manhattan Penthouse

Beloved interior designer Nate Berkus can dress any home to perfection – not to mention his own Manhattan penthouse, which hit the market this year. From its sky-high coffered ceilings and wood-burning fireplaces to its thoughtful furniture placement and accent pieces, this stylish three-bedroom pad knows how to attract attention.

Rihanna’s $14.6 Million LA Mansion

From her memorable tunes to her eccentric getup, RiRi isn’t exactly known to follow convention, and the spacious seven-bedroom LA home she once lived in is further proof of that. With a grand two-sided staircase, electric pops of colour, statement artwork and a pool area resembling that of a luxury resort, we have much love on the brain for this space.

Alicia Key’s $3.9 Million Arizona Dream Home

Grammy winner Alicia Keys knows how to pick a stellar location. This year, the songstress sold her mansion in Phoenix that sits atop Camelback Mountain. The 7,881-square-foot abode features an 800-bottle wine cellar, 20-foot windows, a two-level patio with an infinity pool, a games room and a six-car garage. We imagine that while living there, the singer and producer husband Swizz Beatz found little reason to leave.
