PARK SLOPE, BROOKLYN — If you've ever wanted to live in the old Brooklyn home of a notorious gangster, you've got a chance to do it. The Park Slope home where Al Capone used to live is up for sale, and it will only cost you a cool $2.5 million to move in. Capone grew up in a nearby building on Garfield Place, according to realtor.com, and moved into this listing in the early 1900s. "If he had lived here today, he wouldn’t have to go into the rum-running business," listing agent Bren Salamon told Patch . That's because Capone could make some serious dough from the two rental units attached to the condo, which could bring in a pretty penny in 2017 Park Slope . Anyone who moves in, though, won't be looking at any old relics of Brooklyn gone by. The home, as many are in the borough these days, was completely renovated by an investor about a year ago. The main townhouse is 2, 980 square feet spread over two levels. Along with three bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, t...

In the final days of last summer, Drake and Rihanna made waves when they hunkered down for some R&R in what TMZ called “an oceanfront villa fit for honeymoonin’.” While that relationship didn’t last long (and Drake is now linked to Young Money label mate Nicki Minaj ), the press had a lasting effect on the other stunner in that story: the $ 29 million Malibu love nest where they stayed. “When news broke of Drake and Rihanna vacationing at one of my listings in Malibu, interest shot up,” said The Agency’s Angel Kou in an email, noting that the property rents for $5,000 per day. “People like to experience what A-listers experience, to get a glimpse of that glitz and glam.” beach front villa that Drake and Rihanna stayed in September 2016." src="http://mansion-global-app.s3.amazonaws.com/article-images/2017/08/image_l_031.jpg" /> An interior view of the beach front villa that Drake and Rihanna stayed in September 2016.

Wa nt the charming coziness of a country retreat but can’t quit the urban hustle and bustle? You don’t have to choose! From Brooklyn to the Bronx, cottage- style dwellings sit smack -dab in the city. The most recent (and eye-catching) example is the East Village property that hit the market in July. But never fear, fully-on-the- market options abound . Set atop a ho-hum structure — and recently listed for $3.5 million — the penthouse/cottage combo has just gone into contract. NY Post Brian Zak East Village Price: $3.5 million (in contract); Beds: 4; Baths: 3½; Sq. Ft.: 2,736 New York is chockablock with unique properties, but it’s hard to imagine an apartment more one-of-a-kind than the duplex penthouse of a five-story walkup at 72 E. First St. The penthouse comes with the Nantucket-style shake-shingled cottage on the roof. It’s as if someone airlifted a New England sea shanty and plopped it atop an East Village tenement building . Inside the cottage and penthouse, you’ll find all th...
