Martha Stewart sells her house

… at 26% price cut

Martha Stewart has sold her Westport Connecticut estate for $6.7 million — 26% below the asking price. The four-acre property, known as Turkey Hill, includes a 3,168-square-foot, three-bedroom farmhouse, built in the 19th century, a converted carriage house and a “party barn” that Ms. Stewart used to entertain guests. The property also includes a pool and gardens. Records show that Ms. Stewart and her then-husband, Andy Stewart, bought the property in two parcels in the early 1970s for a combined $80,750.

Ms. Stewart launched her career in the house, starting a catering business out of the basement more than 25 years ago. She put the property on the market last year for just under $9 million. Earlier this year, she offered the main house on two acres for $4.5 million, though she never cut the price on the full estate. The sale was recorded on June 15. Ms. Stewart owns several other properties, including a 153-acre Katonah, New York estate which she said last year she planned to make her full-time home.

The buyer is a limited liability corporation with Charles G. Berg as its principal. Mr. Berg was chief executive of Oxford Health Plans Inc. until the Connecticut-based insurer was acquired by UnitedHealth Group Inc. in 2004. “We’re not planning on doing very much to it,” he says. Ms. Stewart “spent 35 years making it beautiful.” Susan Warburg of William Raveis Real Estate had the listing.

Eric Lindros Lists New York Penthouse

Hockey pro Eric Lindros is asking $6 million for his penthouse in New York’s West Village. Records show the former New York Ranger bought the condominium for nearly $2.5 million while it was being built about three years ago.

The unit, which Mr. Lindros decorated in a minimalist style, has three bedrooms, 3.5 baths and a planted rooftop terrace with Hudson River views. It’s in One Morton Square, which has a fitness club, valet parking and a concierge. Lee Zimmerman, of Corcoran Group, has the listing.

Mr. Lindros lived in the roughly 2,200-square-foot unit only briefly. In 2005, he rented it out when he moved to Toronto to play for the Maple Leafs and continued to rent it last season when he played for the Dallas Stars, the listing agent says. The athlete sold a three-bedroom townhouse in Dallas last year, but still owns Canadian property in Ontario and Quebec. Mr. Lindros has just become a free agent.

At One Morton, owners include actresses Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, who records show paid $7.3 million for four apartments in 2005.
