It is no exaggeration to say that Martha Stewart's homes are among the most famous and influential of the last four decades. From her quintessential Bedford Farm (also known as Cantitoe Corners) to her urban sanctuary above 5th Avenue, Martha has an eclectic portfolio that she proudly shares with the world.
In recent years, particularly, the lifestyle guru has shared our home decor habits, assisting in everything from laundry tips to design (the latter courtesy of her Martha Stewart collections). Given her reputation, it's only fitting that she has an admirable property portfolio to her name – and we've made it easier than ever to explore the ones that have influenced her (and the rest of the country) the most.
Here, we look inside Martha Stewart's properties to understand where America's most famous homemaker calls home.
Cantitoe Corners / Bedford Farm, Katonah, New York
Arguably, Martha Stewart's most famous home, the Bedford farmhouse (also affectionately referred to as 'Cantitoe Corners'), is instantly recognizable to any of her fans. Following her move from Turkey Hill to the Hamptons, Martha purchased the 152-acre property at the turn of the millennium.
The 1925 farmhouse (and its manicured grounds) have served as Martha's backdrop over the last two decades. She often offers glimpses of her mixed material chef's kitchen, her living spaces (most of which are aptly pained in 'Bedford Gray'), and her rose gardens via her blog and Instagram (both of which we often browse here one the Homes & Gardens celebrity style team).
'As you may know from reading this blog, there is a definite gray theme here at the farm. I chose to paint all of the buildings the same pleasing color that I call Bedford Gray. Lay down a thick blanket of fog, and the entire farm becomes Bedford Gray,' she once shared on her blog.
Martha's Bedford home has also served as the inspiration to many of her collections, including a furniture line that holds its namesake. You can shop some of our favorite picks below.
With its stylish aesthetic aside, we love how Martha designed this chair with quality in mind. It's built with a sturdy wood frame, high-density foam seat, and solid wood legs, ensuring it's soft yet durable for many years to come.
The transitional cane/ rattan armchair features an upholstered attached seat and back cushion in an elegant striped print. It's 60s-inspired rattan body perfectly complements the coastal-inspired upholstery, making it the perfect addition to any Hamptons-inspired living room.
In true Martha Stewart style, this bench is both good-looking and designed to last. Crafted for Quality, it's a sturdy, robust sitting bench made of solid wood and featuring a comfortable high-density foam seat. We also love how it's upholstered with soft, durable fabric for added coziness.
Turkey Hill, Westport, Connecticut
The home that started it all, Turkey Hill, is where Martha launched her reputation as a homemaker. 'If I hadn't had Turkey Hill, I wouldn't be me,' she shared in her Martha Netflix documentary before describing how she and her family renovated the 19th-century farmhouse into the wonder that it is today.
Archival photos, such as the one above, frequently picture Martha maintaining Turkey Hill's spacious vegetable garden, while footage often shows her organizing the cupboards around her five bedrooms.
The media mogul sold Turkey Hill for $6.7 million in 2007, but its legacy reminds as true today.
907 5th Avenue, Manhattan, New York
If you were asked to picture a traditional Martha Stewart home, a spacious, country-style setting (much like Bedford or Turkey Hill) would likely come to mind. On 5th avenue, however, things are done a little differently. Martha purchased the Italian Renaissance-style apartment in a building designed by acclaimed architect J.R. Carpenter in 1988, and it has remained her urban sanctuary since.
Located in Manhattan's Upper East Side, it's the most compact property on her portfolio, but it's also one of the most unique. It features a galley kitchen with cabinets and counters by a laboratory furniture production by Duralab, a laboratory furniture production company in Brooklyn.
Lily Pond, East Hampton, New York
Martha Stewart and East Hampton – two names that are renowned for their power, prestige, beauty, and fun. It's only right that she made this neighborhood her home following her divorce in 1990. Martha purchased the cottage on the sought-after Lily Pond Lane before designing with classic coastal decor in mind (soft neutrals, and antiques included).
Lily Pond's interiors pay homage to its zip code, but its exteriors are just as inspiring. She famously created an English-style rose garden on the grounds of Lily Pond. However, she later dug out the thorned flowers over concerns for her grandchildren's safety.
Lily Pond remained in Martha's portfolio for nearly three decades, before she sold the property to Kenneth Lerer, co-founder of The Huffington Post, in 2021.
33 Stagg Street, Jersey City, New Jersey
It wouldn't be a roundup of Martha Stewart's properties without taking a moment for the first place she called home. While working on a Food Network special in Jersey City in 2018, Martha shared the home in which she lived with her older brother Erik, her mother, and her father.
'[The] house has been resided in vinyl and is brown instead of white,' Martha says. 'We lived on the second floor.' It was the house that shaped the homemaker into who she is today.
