Elite Traveler Fall 2021

OneWall Street Manhattan, New York

What an address —One Wall Street is on the eastern side of Broadway between Wall Street and Exchange Place. The 56-story Art Deco landmark, built in 1931 by architect Ralph Walker (named ‘Architect of the Century’ by The New York Times ), was constructed for the Irving Trust firm, perhaps its most famous resident. The building has been carefully redeveloped to include 566 condos; a state-of-the-art athletic club complete with a 75-ft enclosed pool, event and entertainment space, and spa services (collectively known as The One Club) — all with clear views of the Statue of Liberty and New York Harbor. There will also be an enormous 44,000-sq-ft Whole Foods in the building’s lower floors and a 74,000-sq-ft Life Time health and wellness club. The ‘Red Room’ is a sight to behold: A 9,000-sq-ft mosaic of orange and oxblood glass tiles with an intricate labyrinth of glimmering gold adorns the space; it was designed by Hildreth Meière in the 1930s and has 1250 Oakwood Lane St Helena, California This charming property, known as Daisy Hill Farm, is in the heart of California’s Wine Country and counts the award-winning Meadowood Resort as its neighbor. The owners have poured their heart and soul into the gated estate for the past 18 years and created a bucolic haven. The home sits among some 12 acres with floral and vegetable gardens, and meandering stone paths, and is entered through a Mediterranean-inspired courtyard, complete with tinkling fountain. The 6,800-sq-ft home has six bedrooms, seven-and-a-half bathrooms, and grand living and dining rooms. The master bedroom is supreme with vaulted ceilings, a fireplace, lounge area, and decadent bathroom with both indoor and outdoor showers. The chef’s kitchen has the seal of approval from Thomas Keller and other culinary wizards (in the property’s vegetable garden, you’ll find tomato seedlings from Keller’s own garden in Yountville). There is also a home gym/guest house, plus a 1,300-bottle wine vault, naturally. Enjoy the Californian sun in the 55-ft infinity pool with spa and cascading stone waterfall, or have an alfresco dinner in the outdoor dining pavilion after a round of bocce on the court. $14m.
