Radio Hall of Famer Angela Yee, who co-hosts the nationally syndicated radio show “The Breakfast Club” with DJ Envy and Charlamagne tha God, becomes a serial real estate investor — and she’s urging other women to join the game, too, call it empowerment.

Yee recently partnered with the purchase of a home in upstate New York in the Catskills for $1.9 million with her friend and real estate agent, Sara Golan of Nest Seekers International, Gimme Shelter can reveal.

“I realized how important it was to have a place to be away from the city during the pandemic,” Yee told Gimme.

The modern seven-bedroom, four-bathroom home is 2,750 square feet and sits on 9.5 acres in the town of Roxbury. The listing broker was Katherine “Cricket” Keys, of the Catskill Dream Team.

At the height of the pandemic, Yee, a graduate of the prestigious Wesleyan University in Connecticut, purchased a $2.8 million landmark Brooklyn brownstone. It originally asked for $3.2 million. She also owns another Bed-Stuy brownstone and an investment apartment in Williamsburg. Golan was her broker on all three deals.

Yee tells Gimme that the house in the state is an investment purchase — she and Golan plan to rent it out — but that they also want to use it, separately, as an escape from the city.

“As friends and business partners, the property acts as an investment and as a home that we will both enjoy for years to come,” Golan said.

The property first went on the market in 2021 for $1.9 million. It was love at first sight, they both said.

The house features a covered deck with full mountain views and a fire pit with outdoor seating. Details include master bedrooms with marble en-suite bathrooms and a cinema room. There is also a lawn for volleyball, a basketball court, a plunge pool, a hot tub and a Japanese sauna. It was built by architect Eran Chen of ODA New York.

“We fell in love with the 1950s modern design, with floor-to-ceiling glass throughout, giving the feeling of being surrounded by nature,” Golan said, adding that it’s a great place to “unplug and relax.” to decompress” of city life.
