Katherine Hepburn’s former childhood home in Old Saybrook, CT is up for sale for $28 million. The Hepburns built the home in 1913 and it is where Katherine Hepburn spent her summers as a child. Katherine Hepburn grew up in a wealthy family, and eventually became one of the best actresses in Hollywood. She is best known for winning Academy Awards for movies such as “Morning Glory” in 1933, “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner” in 1967, “The Lion in Winter” in 1968 and “On a Golden Pond” in 1981. She died on the estate she called “Paradise,” at the age of 96 in 2003.

 

The current owners, Frank and Barbara Sciame, bought the home in 2004 for $6 million and continued to renovate the entire home. They lifted the home up 5 feet to protect it from flooding. Many walls were also reconstructed and windows were added so that there is a view of the water from nearly every room. The home has 6 bedrooms, 7.5 baths and a saltwater pond that extends from the Long Island Sound. The luxurious interior adds to the quality of the home immensely. For a mere $28 million, you too could say you lived in the home of the legendary Katherine Hepburn.
