Hilfiger’s luxury home sells for $20 million

GREENWICH, Conn. (AP) | Fashion designer Tommy Hilfiger’s luxury estate in Connecticut has sold for $20 million, about $8 million below its original asking price.

Sotheby’s International Realty says the 20,000-square-foot Greenwich mansion is being purchased by a family who toured it in September.

The mansion has eight bedrooms and nine bathrooms. It also features a 2,000-bottle wine cellar, indoor basketball court, sauna, massage room with a waterfall and home theater.

Mr. Hilfiger purchased the home in 2005 for $18 million. It had been on the market since February 2008.

The designer has moved to New York City.

The mansion is located in an exclusive coastal suburban community that’s home to Martha Stewart and is considered the inspiration for “The Stepford Wives.”
