This week we have David Bowie’s former Manhattan apartment, a record-setting Malibu mansion and a glass house in Austin, Texas, much too beautiful to toss stones at.
You can’t actually get cooler than living in David Bowie’s old apartment. It’s impossible.
The Starman and his wife, the supermodel Iman, lived in this Essex House property in Manhattan for a little over a decade and left behind the legendary rock star’s Yamaha piano, which is included in the sale.
In addition to the music memorabilia, buyers will also get 1,877 square feet of living space, featuring three bedrooms and two-and-a-half bathrooms. The living room alone spans 28 feet with spectacular views of Central Park.
A couple of other touches from the couple remain intact, including a paneled dressing room built for Iman and some hidden shelves in the living room.

In addition to the pool, the exterior of the home features a five-car underground garage.
The architecture of the home actually gives it the illusion of a floating box with a main floor wrapped entirely in sheets of glass.
Beneath that, a subterranean floor was built entirely underground. Inside the lower level of the home you’ll find a catering kitchen, a media room, two poolside bathrooms, a wine cellar with room for 20,000 bottles, and an art studio.
The home is currently on the market for $14.9 million.
