Fashion mogul Tommy Hilfiger has unloaded the last of his Greenwich, Connecticut properties for $45 million, Sotheby’s International Realty tells 6sqft. The 22-acre estate was built in 1939 and resembles a French chateau from the outside, with an eclectic, European flair inside. It’s located on the summit of Round Hill, the highest point in Greenwich, providing views of the Long Island Sound and Manhattan skyline. Other lavish amenities include a baronial Elizabethan-style spiral staircase, six fireplaces, a pool house, tennis court, and parterre gardens. According to the Post, he and his wife Dee Ocleppo bought the home for $31.37 million in 2010, after which they spent millions more on renovations.
The 2020 Year End Real Estate Report
One thousand and three transactions, that’s what we did last year. These 1003 transactions consisted of 861 sales up 334 houses from 2019 or 63% and 142 contracts up 70 houses or almost a 100% increase. And, it wasn’t like these sales and contracts were concentrated in any particular price range. Literally, every price range, except our lowest price range was up. Even, the fact that sales under $600,000 were down, may indicate a stronger market as houses were priced out of our lowest price range and pushed over $600,000.
Our biggest winners this year compared to last are sales and contracts from $3 million all the way up to $40 million. In all 5 of these high-end price categories, transactions were up by over 100%. By numbers, we saw an increase of 155 more houses sold or under contract at our high-end. The biggest winner for the year was the $3 – 4 million price range where sales were up 132% from 53 sales last year to 123 sales this year
