Music Diva, Record Executive Mogul, Coming to Scarsdale

Martha Stewart. Richard Gere. Meredith Vieira. The Clintons. Our county certainly has its share of famous face residents. We can now add two more to the list: the newlyweds (they married April 4, 2008) singer Beyoncé Knowles and music industry impresario Jay-Z. The couple, listed on Time Magazine's 100's Most Influential People of 2006, are building a home in Scarsdale.

While the exact location is not confirmed, all sources point to 15 Heathcote Road. The contemporary Colonial rising there (the previous structure was razed) is around 15,000 square feet on approximately two acres. Davenport Contracting of Stamford, CT, is the builder.

It’s not the largest house in the neighborhood, but this is Scarsdale. A neighboring house, 17 Heathcote Road, a 7 BR, 12,000 square foot Colonial on 4 acres is for sale at $16,850,000.
The median home value in the nearby Heathcote/Heath Ridge section of the village is $1,703,000.

Knowles, 27, a native of Houston, was the second highest paid musician from 2007 to 2008 with earnings of $80 million.

Brooklyn-born Jay-Z (née Shawn Corey Carter), 39, is the former CEO  of Def Jam Recordings  and Roc-A-Fella Records. He co-owns The 40/40 Club sports bar chain and the New Jersey Nets.

Keep in mind lookie loos: there’s a sliver of a sidewalk on the westbound side of Heathcote, but please, no trespassing!
