A Broadway legend’s longtime rural retreat has just sold for its full $3.25 million asking price.
Less than six months after hitting the market for the first time in more than 39 years, the late Stephen Sondheim’s 9-plus-acre Roxbury, Connecticut home has a new owner, The Post has learned. However, the identity of the new owner isn’t immediately known.
Although the historic abode only traded hands this week, listing brokerage Klemm Real Estate “was able to procure a buyer within 12 days of listing this magnificent property,” according to a press release.
“We are thrilled that the market responded so well to this wonderful property,” Klemm president Graham Klemm commented.
The “Gypsy” and “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum” composer owned the nearly 3,700-square-foot house for nearly 40 years until his passing in 2021 at the age of 91.
Built circa 1792, the residence is set along “a whisper quiet country lane” and was “lovingly restored and expanded under Sondheim’s watchful eye,” said Klemm.
Beneath its wood-shingled roof, there are 10 rooms total — including three bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, two fireplaces, a sunroom, a cathedral-ceilinged living room, a separate dining room and a paneled library.
The bedrooms — all of which have an ensuite bath — are spread between the main floor and the upper level. There’s also a two-car detached garage, a pool and a one-bedroom pool house on the property.
Meanwhile, in Manhattan, Sondheim’s 19-foot-wide Turtle Bay townhouse has also exited the market. The stately 246 E. 49th St. residence, which listed for $7 million last July, also sold for its exact ask in November, according to public record.
The eight-time Tony winner purchased that 5,690-square-foot seven-bedroom property following the success of his first Broadway hits.
