Leonardo DiCaprio on the real estate prowl in Manhattan

Leonardo DiCaprio’s taste in real estate appears to be as varied as his choice of movie roles.

DiCaprio is on the hunt for a new New York pad, looking at upscale uptown townhouses and downtown penthouse digs, all north of $25 million, the New York Post reported. In addition to checking out digs in Nolita and Soho, the actor recently took a gander at a $30 million Upper East Side townhouse at 45 East 74th Street, the Post said.

The Renaissance-style mansion was built in 1879 and features hand-crafted bronze and leather banisters, a marble façade from Italy, “honed millwork panels,” fireplaces, a swimming pool and a “terrace spa,” the Post reported.

The home is listed by Jason Karadus, Brett Miles and Robson Zannetti of Town Residential. [NYP] –Julie Strickland
