Designer life in the country
Luxury menswear designer Joseph Abboud (who got his start with Ralph Lauren before launching his own label) has dropped the price of his Bedford, NY, home from $3.65 million to $3.15 million. The historic carriage house, at 77 Pound Ridge Road (not far from Lauren and Martha Stewart), was built in 1849 and renovated in 2017. At 4,608 square feet, the residence features five bedrooms, four bathrooms, two half baths and details like vaulted, beamed ceilings; hardwood floors; an eat-in kitchen; a formal dining room; a wine cellar; and a porch, all on 3.71 acres. Abboud and his daughter Ari renovated the space in collaboration with Restoration Hardware. Everything in the home — from the furniture and art to the fine linens and Loro Piana cashmere accessories — is included in the sale. The property (with listing broker Angela Kessel of Houlihan Lawrence) also features a pool and a “writer’s cottage.”

ABC Carpet queen’s glass castle
Fashion-forward CEO Paulette Cole, the third-generation owner of beloved NYC institution ABC Carpet & Home, has bought the Taghkanic House (aka the Glass House) upstate. Cole, we hear, has big plans for the sprawling estate, which will incorporate guest quarters, wellness offerings and regenerative farming in the heart of the historic Hudson Valley. “She searched for the perfect property for more than a year to build her dream,” a friend tells Gimme. The award-winning glass and steel home, at 281 Old Route 82, was designed by Tom Phifer and Partners, and took 10 years to build. We’re told it sold for $7.21 million, which included the seven-bedroom main house, a three-bedroom renovated farmhouse and a three-bedroom guest house, for a total of 13 bedrooms on a whopping 414 acres. The main residence features an 1,800-square-foot glass pavilion built atop the 7,000- square-foot-home, complete with an indoor pool. Top modernist landscape architect Dan Kiley sculpted the grounds with ponds and an outdoor pool. There’s also a tennis court, bocce court, organic vegetable garden, riding and hiking trails, and three traditional red barns. The listing broker was George Langa of Berkshire Hathaway; Wendy Maitland, of Atelier by Wendy Maitland, repped the buyer.
