American actress Drew Barrymore has sold her historic estate in Westchester County, New York, for $4.5 million.

Barrymore purchased the Colonial-style home in Harrison in 2024 for $4.4 million. The property was listed for sale in March this year with an asking price of $4.995 million.

According to real estate agent Kori Sassower, the new owners are relocating from New York City and plan to use the house as a countryside retreat — much as Barrymore herself did.

In 2024, the actress had been searching for an alternative to the Hamptons for family weekend getaways. She later said that the moment she saw the property, she felt an immediate emotional — and even spiritual — connection to it.

Built in 1748, the more than 675-square-metre residence required far more extensive renovations than Barrymore had originally anticipated. Over the course of two years, she and her family transformed the home, blending carefully selected designer pieces, vintage furniture and simple yet thoughtfully curated design solutions.

«With Pinterest, thrift-store finds and a can of paint, you can do almost anything», Barrymore joked in one of her interviews.

As Sassower noted, Barrymore’s work went well beyond refreshing the interiors. She also carried out extensive structural renovations, and the new owners greatly appreciated both her investment in the restoration and her refined design sensibility.

The estate features six bedrooms, a renovated kitchen, a spacious living room with ceilings rising more than nine metres high, and an octagonal sunroom. At the same time, many original 18th-century details have been carefully preserved, including exposed wooden ceiling beams and brick fireplaces.

The property spans nearly 4.8 hectares and includes landscaped gardens, wooded grounds, an outdoor swimming pool with a pool house equipped with a kitchen and spa area, as well as a separate guest house.

The estate is located less than an hour’s drive from Manhattan, where Barrymore lives with her two daughters. In addition, the land has been divided into five separate lots, giving the new owners the opportunity to develop or sell part of the property in the future.

Barrymore began her acting career as a child and rose to international fame with her role in E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982). She later starred in films including Charlie’s Angels, Grey Gardens and 50 First Dates, and since 2020 has hosted her own daytime television program, The Drew Barrymore Show.

Exciting news for fans of the beloved series «Gilmore Girls»: the house that became one of the first recognizable landmarks of the fictional town of Stars Hollow and appeared in the very first episode as the home of Lorelai and Rory Gilmore has been put on the market in Canada.

The historic Victorian property, located in the Unionville district of Ontario, is listed for 3.8 million Canadian dollars – the equivalent of nearly 4 million US dollars.

The two-story residence has retained all the distinctive features of its era, including steeply pitched roofs, a spacious veranda, white shutters, and a charming pale turquoise façade.

The home offers approximately 264 square meters of living space. Inside, there are three bedrooms and three fireplaces, along with a wealth of original architectural details such as exposed wooden ceiling beams, authentic wide-plank flooring, and a historic brick chimney.

Among the property’s most unique interior features are early 20th-century veranda lanterns, a wrought-iron fireplace stand dating back to 1850, and an original front door from the 1860s complete with its period hardware.

The grounds also include a separate historic building that operated as a local bakery from 1910 to 1984. Today, it has been fully updated and can serve as an office, creative studio, or guest house.

In addition, the main residence features a private terrace with a separate entrance and a finished lower level equipped with guest accommodations.

Interestingly, over the course of nearly 150 years, the estate has had only five owners.

One of Hollywood’s brightest couples and newly engaged lovebirds, Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco, are so confident in their relationship that they decided to buy an expensive property even before their wedding. The couple has become the owners of their first family home, worth $35 million.

According to TMZ, the 32-year-old singer and the 36-year-old music producer closed the deal back in December, almost immediately after Benny proposed to Selena.

Reports suggest that the couple’s luxurious estate, built in a Spanish style, is located in Beverly Hills. The residence features seven bedrooms, 12 bathrooms, a library, vintage spiral staircases, a conservatory, a fitness center, a swimming pool, and a glass greenhouse solarium.

Previously, the mansion belonged to a Hollywood director. As noted by the media, the couple did not hold back on their dream home, and their $35 million purchase became one of the most expensive real estate deals in the exclusive enclave over the past year.
