The house, built in 2001, is a sophisticated Cape Cod inspired estate located atop an intimate cul-de-sac on 2.5 acres of land. It features breathtaking city and mountain views. The house is also really large, with 11,000 Sq.Ft, 6 bedrooms, 10 bathrooms, plus 4 partial bathrooms, a very unique kitchen and formal living areas. Outside you’ll find a guesthouse, pool with a separate shallow pool, spa, BBQ island, commode & outdoor shower, and the amazing views, which I believe to be the selling point of this house. How much you ask? $12,999,000.

Curb-Appeal
I think this house has tremendous curb-appeal.
Welcome!
Foyer Then (Architecture Digest AD)
We all know that houses get a “facelift” before a photo shoot for any magazine. I’m posting some pictures from AD and the ones from the listing now. Take a look and compare.
Foyer Now
I’m missing the pair of custom-made porter’s chairs covered in an Edelman leather. The table is 19th-century French.
Sharon Hearts Mirrors
After seeing this house, you’ll agree that Sharon Osborne loves mirrors.
Living Room
I cannot say I’m a fan of this room. I know it feels really warm, but that color on the walls is a bit too much for me.
Then_ AD Living Room
The Directoire-style fireplace in the dining room is from Exquisite Surfaces, and the table and chairs are by Martyn Lawrence-Bullard Design; the chandelier is 19th-century French.
Sweet Image
A 19th-century Venetian mirror complements the dining room’s luminous de Gournay wallpaper.
Dining Room Now
Wow! How important is to have good quality photos, right? I wish the realtor could compare the listing photos with the magazine ones. The rooms look much better and brighter, the colors are more vivid. That would help on the listing, I’m sure.
Cozy
I really like the size of this dining room. It feels cozy.

Sharon displays her collection of vintage Americana in the kitchen, including a cash register on the island and animal weathervane ornaments.
Kitchen_ Now
I like this funky kitchen!

The living room, painted in Benjamin Moore’s Antique White, showcases Sharon’s Italian puppets and dolls. At left is a Montauk tripod floor lamp by Ralph Lauren Home. The reclaimed-brick fireplace surround is from Exquisite Surfaces; the large vintage clock is from Lee Stanton Antiques.
Now_ Family Room
This is my favorite room in the house, maybe I wouldn’t have the puppets and dolls, but I love the architecture of this room.
Then_ AD
The sectional sofa, the Byron wing chair, and the Jaipur cocktail table are all by Martyn Lawrence-Bullard Design. The sliding barn doors were found at American Garage.
Now_ Barn Doors
Gorgeous sofa and barn doors.
Then- AD Sharon’s Office
The desk in Sharon’s office was designed by Lawrence-Bullard in the style of Maison Jansen.
12 and Counting…
Fashion photography by William Klein, Horst P. Horst, Cecil Beaton, and others is against a Farrow & Ball wallpaper in Sharon’s office; Bunny, a Pomeranian, is one of the Osbournes’ 12 dogs.
Now_ Sharon’s Office
I’d love to have an office like this one.
AD_ Ozzy’s Office
The stairway to Ozzy’s home studio, lined with his gold and platinum albums, features steps of reclaimed oak from Exquisite Surfaces.
Then AD_ Master Bedroom
The Osbournes’ mirrored four-poster echoes the style of midcentury French designer Serge Roche; the wallpaper is by de Gournay, and the bedding is by Frette.
Now_ Master Bedroom
Can you picture Mr. Ozzy Osborne, the guy that “ate” a pigeon’s head, sleeping in this lavender bedroom? What’s going on with the “Prince of Darkness”? Ha!
Then_ AD
The master bedroom also includes a Marie Antoinette chaise upholstered in a de Gournay silk velvet.
Now_ Mirror
Notice they changed the mirror for a picture above the fireplace on AD photo. Which one you prefer?

The sitting area combines a Romeo sofa by Martyn Lawrence-Bullard Design with an overscale ottoman.

A Candide tub and Julia fittings by Waterworks anchor the master bath; the shower is tiled in Carrara marble from Walker Zanger, and the clamshell bowl is by Mecox.
Now_ Master En Suite
It’s hard to believe it’s the same bathroom!
