| The Real-Life Connecticut Estate From ‘And So It Goes’ Just Listed for $8.6 Million |
In the picturesque Fairfield County, the captivating Connecticut mansion featured in the 2014 movie "And So It Goes," starring Michael Douglas, is available for a fortunate buyer to acquire. This property, which played a prominent role in the Rob Reiner-directed film, mirrors the aspirations of Douglas's character, Oren Little, a top-tier real estate agent in Fairfield County, as he endeavors to sell his own lavish Greenwich estate, hoping for one last triumphant deal before retirement.
Remarkably, the asking price of just under $8.6 million aligns closely with Oren's on-screen goal. Regrettably, Diane Keaton, who co-starred as Leah Hartman, will not be your next-door neighbor. The listing for this exquisite property is held by Joy Kim Metalios at Houlihan Lawrence.
This ivy-clad Colonial residence, constructed in 1930, boasts a rich history, originally designed by the talented architectural siblings J. Alden and Quentin Twachtman, both sons of the renowned American painter John Henry Twachtman. Nestled on approximately four acres, the brick-clad estate offers an array of outdoor luxuries, including a clay tennis court, a swimming pool, and an adjacent pool house.
The 7,691-square-foot mansion retains its cinematic charm, appearing almost unaltered from its on-screen presence. Everything, from the elegantly wallpapered dining room to the lighting fixtures, hardwood floors, and French doors, remains intact. Some years before its feature in the film, this five-bedroom, eight-bathroom residence underwent a renovation that modernized the scullery kitchen, family room, and guest wing.
Additional highlights of this grand estate encompass a wood-paneled library, a serene slate patio, and the opulent primary suite, featuring a welcoming fireplace, two bathrooms, and a spacious dressing room. Yes, indeed, Michael Douglas himself once called this exceptional property his home.
