Stately Lattingtown Money Pit mansion up for grabs
Grand Federal Style Colonial on Estate Grounds
BY RUTH BASHINSKY
This sprawling Lattingtown estate
on Feeks Lane is such a vision of
beauty it caught Hollywood’s eye.
If it looks familiar, that’s because
it was the set of The Money Pit,
the 1986 Steven Spielberg comedy
starring Tom Hanks and Shelley
Long. A quarter-mile, evergreenlined
private road introduces the
federal colonial sitting on 5.4 acres.
“You get that wow factor when you
drive up to the house,” says Realtor
Lois Kirschenbaum of Daniel Gale
Sotheby’s International Realty. “It is
so spectacular.”
The stately home features eight
bedrooms, eight full baths, two
half baths, eight fireplaces (some
with original mantels), and a
six-car detached garage, and is on
the market for $5.9 million. That’s
down from $12.5 million after
nearly four years in the market.
