Kelsey Grammer and the Bridgehampton home he recently sold

Former “Fraiser” star and newlywed Kelsey Grammer has found a buyer for his 7,500-square-foot Bridgehampton mansion, according to the New York Post. The undisclosed buyer paid the property’s full $9.95 million asking price. Although this recent property sale leaves Grammer without a Hamptons hideaway for the time being, the actor said he’s considering buying another East End home in the future. As for rumors that Grammer was planning to buy a Plaza pad? Totally false, said Grammer, who bought a $7.52 million, 3,000-square-foot apartment in Jean Nouvel’s 100 11th Avenue condominium last November. [more]

In the video above about the country’s richest celebrities, HLN Showbiz Tonight looked at one of the places those bigwigs spend their money — New York City real estate. Sabrina Kleier Morgenstern, an executive vice president at Gumley Haft Kleier, said there are at least three celebs who are interested in New York City real estate — Nicole Kidman (who recently bought a fourth-floor unit at 200 11th Avenue for $9.6M), newly-hitched Kelsey Grammer (who along with his new wife, Kayte Walsh, checked out a $9.9 million Plaza condo) and Jennifer Aniston (who is close to a deal on a West Village penthouse).

100 Eleventh AvenueFrom the February issue: Outside, a late-January snowstorm has left a delicate frosting on the
shimmering gray-green jumble of steel and glass that is 100 Eleventh
Avenue, making the newly constructed condo tower all the more
eye-catching in the flat winter light.
Inside, however, fat drops of water fall from the ceiling, forming a
puddle on the polished-granite floor of the Jean Nouvel-designed lobby.
Todd Eberle, a photographer who lives on the fourth floor, eyes the leak with concern.
“I don’t know what that’s about, but it’s not good,” he says.
A photographer-at-large for Vanity Fair who has spent much of his
career shooting architecture, Eberle is an avowed Nouvel devotee. They love their new apartment, its terrace with views of Frank
Gehry’s IAC Building, and the way changing patterns of light dance
across the floor.
Yet Eberle is one of a number of residents voicing concerns about the building. [more]

For the past 10 years, the Hamptons’ A-list flocked to Almond in Bridgehampton for chef Jason Weiner’s macaroni and cheese with chopped truffles. But the restaurant closed in December, and Almond’s longtime location at 1970 Montauk Highway is on the market for $3.15 million with Town & Country Real Estate. The listing broker is Missy Capozzoli, who also worked for years as a part-time waitress at Almond. In addition, an apartment in the landmarked Arthur Hammerstein house in Beechhurst, Queens is on the market for $1.299 million. Also, a nautical-themed Soho loft is now on the rental market for $15,000 per month, according to the listing broker, Charlie Attias, a senior vice president at the Corcoran Group.

“Frasier” actor Kelsey Grammer has purchased a $6.5 million four-bedroom apartment for his new mistress, without the
knowledge of his soon-to-be-ex-wife Camille, the New York Post reported. The new apartment is at 100 11th Avenue, in the glass
building on the Hudson
designed by starchitect Jean Nouvel. Grammer, who is now starring in the Broadway musical “La Cage Aux Folles,” was previously renting space at 15
Central Park West. [Post]

From the August issue: In the Hamptons, as high-end builder Joe Farrell can attest, $5 million
is the new $10 million. Farrell, who founded his Bridgehampton-based
Farrell Construction in 1996, has built homes for talk show host Kelly
Ripa, actor Kelsey Grammer and former New York City mayor and
presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani. Indeed, he has recently made headlines for “Sandcastle,” the
30,000-square-foot home he built on Halsey Lane in Bridgehampton, which
is on the market for $59.5 million. Last month, after the Jonas Brothers, the pop music superstars who
had been prepared to rent it, backed out, he found a taker willing to
shell out $425,000 for a two-week stay this summer. Comments
