New York cabaret legend Michael Feinstein and his partner Terrence Flannery have bought a West Hollywood home for $2.72 million, Gimme Shelter has learned.
Feinstein is also famed for his work as archivist for the Great American Songbook.
The couple, who sold their historic Upper East Side townhouse at 143 E. 63rd St. for $15.22 million in 2018, own additional properties — including an apartment on Central Park South, a home in Carmel, Ind., a 50-acre avocado ranch in Santa Barbara County and a home in Pasadena, Feinstein told Gimme Shelter.
Their latest acquisition is a Spanish-style Sunset Strip home at 1348 Miller Drive. Built in 1936, the charming residence is 3,078 square feet and boasts four bedrooms and four bathrooms.
It sits on just 0.12 acres perched above Sunset, with stunning city views.
“The location is amazing,” Feinstein told Gimme Shelter. “It’s close to Beverly Hills where I spent several years working with Ira Gershwin on Roxbury Drive. I am so excited to be back in the ‘hood and have a house near where I had many wonderful and transformative years.”
The West Hollywood home opens to a formal entry hall and a step-down living room with a fireplace.
There’s also a large, formal dining room just off the chef’s kitchen, which opens to the backyard.
In addition, the residence boasts a home office on the first floor and a dramatic staircase that leads to a large main bedroom with two separate baths and two walk-in closets and a fireplace.
There’s also an attached garage that opens to the home and a patio overlooking the city along with a deck above the backyard.
The listing broker was Jeffrey Hobgood of Sotheby’s International Realty. The buyers were repped by Douglas Elliman’s Idan Gould.
