Cameron Mathison In New York City, Estate of the Day

We might be seeing a sudden flood of soap opera star pads on the market. The NY Times Big Deal column reports that because ABC is switching production of "All My Children" to Los Angeles, after 40 years of production in New York, many actors and crew might be putting their homes on the market. One soap opera hunk who has already taken that leap is the ever-smiling Cameron Mathison, who plays Ryan Lavery on the soap (and was also a contestant on "Dancing With The Stars"). Mathison has put his modernist brownstone in Harlem on the market for $2.7 million.

The 20-foot wide townhouse has three bedrooms. The brownstone includes a peaceful garden graced with a Buddha statue. Mathison and his wife Vanessa paid $1.225 million for the house which was at that point 80 percent of the way through a renovation that turned it from an apartment building into a single-family house. The facade remained a classic brownstone but inside the original old brick competes with recessed lighting and a floating steel staircase. The top level has a playroom with a skylight on the top level, and the open parlor floor has a fireplace, a kitchen and a living room. It is listed at $2.7 million.
