You might not have been fortunate enough to snag their picturesque 12-acre estate in New York that was recently up for grabs, complete with 130 feet of waterfront footage on the Hudson River. But now’s your chance to pick up Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones’s former Los Angeles condo at the iconic I.M. Pei-designed Century Towers residential complex on the Avenue of the Stars; that is, of course, if you have a few million dollars burning a hole in your proverbial pocket.
After more than a decade of ownership, current owner Judy Glickman Lauder is looking to hand over the keys to the celeb-pedigreed pad for a smidge under $7 million. Records show the Hollywood power couple bought a pair of adjacent condos in separate transactions in the late 1990s and subsequently combined the corner units before selling the whole kit and caboodle to the photographer and her late husband Leonard Lauder, the billionaire son of beauty mogul Estée Lauder, in 2003 for $1.85 million.

Resting on the 23rd floor in one of two identical 28-story high-rises—which have been home through the years to showbiz movers and shakers such as Lana Turner, Diana Ross, Berry Gordy, Burt Lancaster, and Karen Carpenter—the three-bedroom, three-bath abode features roughly 2,600 square feet of Lauder-furnished living space boasting dark cabinetry paired with multi-colored slate walls and floors, plus large expanses of glass offering sweeping views of the city skyline and Hillcrest Country Club golf course.
Among the highlights is a spacious peach-hued living area sporting floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors spilling open to an alfresco dining terrace. There’s also a wet bar-equipped dining room, a laundry nook, and a kitchen outfitted with a breakfast bar and premium stainless appliances. Other amenities include a family room with a built-in entertainment center, along with a spacious primary retreat flaunting a slate-tiled bath spotlighted by a freestanding clawfoot soaking tub.

Topping it all off are plenty of building amenities courtesy of a $4,262 monthly HOA charge, including a 24-hour guard-gated entry, a concierge, valet parking, a fitness center and sauna, a full-length lap pool, a putting green, and tennis courts.
“A living piece of Hollywood history, this home still reflects the timeless taste and style of its original celebrity owners…down to the last detail,” says Alphonso Lascano, who holds the listing with Bjorn Farrugia, both of Carolwood Estates.
