Judge Judy's Newport Mansion Soars: $6.3M Profit in Just Seven Years!
JUDGE JUDY'S LUXURIOUS ESCAPE: TV ICON SELLS RHODE ISLAND MANSION FOR A STAGGERING $15.3 MILLION
In a shocking move, beloved television personality and retired judge Judith Sheindlin, better known as Judge Judy, has sold her luxurious Rhode Island estate for a whopping $6.3 million profit just seven years after purchasing the property from Campbell's Soup heiress Dorrance Hill Hamilton. The stunning 15,600-square-foot Newport mansion, which once held the title of the highest property sale in Rhode Island that year, has been scooped up by Sea Spray LLC.
This bombshell news comes as a surprise to fans and followers of the 82-year-old TV icon, who had only recently settled into one of New England's most exclusive coastal towns. Judging from the lavish details of her former abode, it's no wonder she decided to let go - the property was a true showstopper.
Located at 70 Beacon Hill Road, the opulent estate boasts six bedrooms, six bathrooms, and an impressive 18 total rooms, complete with five fireplaces that exude warmth and sophistication. The quintessential seaside aesthetic is nothing short of breathtaking, with lush greenery, meticulously manicured lawns, and a sweeping circular driveway leading up to the property.
But what truly sets this estate apart is its unique blend of traditional design and modern luxury. Built in 2012 by Hamilton herself, the home features an array of cutting-edge technologies, including geothermal heating and cooling, a three-level elevator, remote-controlled window treatments, and custom audiovisual systems. The late heiress spared no expense in creating a beautiful sanctuary that incorporates all the latest innovations.
When Judge Judy purchased the estate for $9 million in 2018, she stated that she and her husband, Judge Jerry Sheindlin, were "looking forward to falling in love with Newport." It seems they certainly did - after all, who wouldn't? The property's natural surroundings, complete with rocky coastline and pale driftwood tones, perfectly complement the muted gray shingles and crisp white window accents of the mansion.
As you step inside, a soaring two-story foyer welcomes you, leading into a living room adorned with light wood paneling and a dramatic floor-to-ceiling dark stone fireplace. Floor-to-ceiling windows stretch across an entire wall of the room, offering breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean from the backyard patio. Each room in the estate is uniquely designed, complete with its own distinct style, vibe, and color palette.
The dimly lit library, for example, features a deep red hue, while the kitchen boasts a modern design centered around a stunning white marble and wood split island. The dining room is painted moss-toned walls, complemented by wooden beams lining the ceiling, and features a long table with seven pink chairs.
One bedroom stands out in particular - its vibrant golden yellow paint job and darker yellow curtains adorned with floral vine patterns create a sense of tranquility, while flooding the room with natural light. It's little wonder that Judge Judy was so smitten with this estate.
The sale of the property marks a significant milestone for the TV icon, who has been making headlines lately with her new series "Justice Judy" now streaming on Amazon. Despite planning to leave the wealthy town of Newport behind, it seems she'll be leaving behind a piece of herself in this stunning Rhode Island mansion.
With an estimated $6.3 million profit from the sale, Judge Judy is sure to be smiling all the way to her next adventure - and we can't wait to see what's next for this beloved television personality.
