Filed under: Estates

Luxist reader David K. led us to today's home in the seaside village of Stonington Borough, Connecticut. He reports that this home was used in the 1980s movie "Mystic Pizza" and was on the market for $9 million a couple of years back. It's back up for sale and for a reduced price. The waterfront property is on 1.2 acres and adjoins a three acre parcel of waterfront conservation land for added privacy. The land includes two gazebos, a deepwater dock and landscaped gardens. The home itself has a classic wraparound porch with water views. The home was built in 1886 and remodeled in 1926 into a 7,500-square-foot residences which includes 10 fireplaces. Rooms include a paneled library, a living room with two fireplaces and built-in cabinetry, a sunroom, and in the newer wing of the house added in 1995, a gourmet kitchen and a great room. The second floor is home to a master bedroom suite with a private deck, office area and his and hers baths. There are four additional bedrooms on this floor. The pictures on this one aren't great but they offer at least a glimpse of this classic New England beauty. This home is now listed at $7.8 million.
