Fashion designer Christian Lacroix is selling his Paris apartment.

Fashion designer Christian Lacroix is selling his Paris apartment for €2 million, or about $2.6 million.

The roughly 2,150-square-foot apartment is in the chic Marais district. The house, in a late-17th-century building near the historic Place des Vosges and the Picasso Museum, has an upper floor with public rooms designed around an interior patio of roughly 200 square feet, and a lower floor with four bedrooms.

There's also a mezzanine library. The ceilings are 13 feet high and the apartment has many classic original details, including gilded moldings in the master bedrooms and French doors. The bathrooms and kitchen have been renovated. Mr. Lacroix has already purchased and moved to another apartment in the same neighborhood, according to his listing agent, Xavier Attal, of Paris-based Immo Best International properties.

Tatiana Golovin

Tatiana Golovin, one of tennis's rising female stars until back problems sidelined her last year, has put her Miami condominium up for sale for $1.3 million.

Ms. Golovin's apartment is in Three Tequesta Point, a 2001 46-story tower on Brickell Key, a triangular island on Biscayne Bay in downtown Miami. The 2,300-square-foot apartment has three bedrooms, three bathrooms and a powder room and includes marble floors and a wraparound balcony, according to the listing. The development has a concierge, a gym, a pool and tennis courts.

Ms. Golovin has spent plenty of time in Florida -- she spent years at the famed tennis camp of Nick Bollettieri. Last year, her back problems forced the Russian-born Ms. Golovin, a French citizen, to drop out of the U.S. Open and the Olympics. Since then, the 20-year-old has made few visits to Miami, according to her listing agent, Polly Schiff, of Coldwell Banker Residential Real Estate. Ms. Golovin couldn't be reached for comment.

Mansion With Movie Résumé, $12 Million

In Greenwich, Conn., a restored 1895 home that Hollywood used for the movie "The Good Shepherd" is for sale for $12 million, recently cut from $13.25 million when the house was listed in September.

In the 2006 film, directed by Robert De Niro, the waterfront house stood in for the idyllic childhood home of a blue-blooded CIA spy, Edward Wilson, played by Matt Damon. (The father of Mr. Damon's character commits suicide at the home.)

The 5,000-square-foot colonial-style house, on 1.85 acres, overlooks Long Island Sound and features a wraparound porch overlooking the water and a kitchen with a wood-burning fireplace. The property also has a tennis court and a pool by the water.

Joe Barbieri, of Sotheby's International Realty, has the listing.
