[ad_1] Everything’s bigger in Texas, luxury homes included. And the latest example of opulent real estate to hit the Dallas market is the former mega-mansion of six-time NBA All-Star Jermaine O’Neal, now listed for $11,448,000 in the affluent Southlake suburb. A former Indiana Pacers center and power forward, O’Neal played for an additional six teams throughout his athletic tenure — none of which were in Texas — before retiring in 2016. Still, O’Neal chose to settle in Southlake for its prestige, allure, and vicinity to vibrant Dallas, which happens to be the home of his favorite football team, the Cowboys.…

Fitting, given who lived here. The heart of the property is a…

[ad_1] Almost four years ago, James Haslam doled out $12.5 million for a historic townhouse in Manhattan’s Chelsea neighborhood. The filmmaker and co-owner of the David Armstrong Archive subsequently enlisted the services of friend and interior designer Amy Kolker of Jane Street Projects, and together they embarked upon an extensive renovation of the formerly white-walled residence that was recently featured in Architectural Digest. Halsam, whose parents, Jimmy and Dee Haslam of Haslam Sports Group, co-own the NFL’s Cleveland Browns and the NBA’s Milwaukee Bucks, has now decided to put the strikingly transformed digs on the market for a speck under $20 million. Matthew Slosar and…

[ad_1] An Italian Renaissance Revival villa in Pasadena, California, has a storied history befitting its spectacular appearance. Envisioned more than a century ago by the architect Reginald Davis Johnson, the $12.5 million abode is being brought to market by Australian fashion designer Richard Tyler and his wife, Lisa Trafficante. Tyler acquired the property back in 1998, but instead of buying the Pasadena estate in a traditional sense, he traded a mansion in the Hollywood Hills for it. Prior to Tyler and Trafficante making the grand residence their home, it had a suite of important owners, including the chemist and scholar Arno Behr, whose…

[ad_1] There was a time when Gawker Media ruled the internet. At its peak, the digital media company operated massively popular sites like Gawker, Jezebel, Deadspin, Kotaku, Gizmodo, and Lifehacker, dominating the internet landscape in every area of pop culture, gossip, and tech. Started by British Internet entrepreneur, journalist, and blogger Nick Denton, the once digital behemoth was later involved in a very public privacy lawsuit brought by WWE star Hulk Hogan (with significant backing from billionaire Peter Thiel), which reportedly pushed the company into bankruptcy. But well before that, Denton once ran his media empire from his own New…

The football field, branded with the team’s logo, pays tribute to Pouncey’s career and his past as a first-round draft pick for the Miami Dolphins.

Bryce Connery of Connery & Co. and Sean Averill of PureWest Real Estate hold the listing. The main bedroom in the guest cabin…
