Tommy Hilfigerhas found a buyer for his Connecticut castle!
The famed fashion designer, 69, is listed hisgorgeous country estate in Greenwichin September, asking a whopping $47.5 million. PEOPLE can confirm it has now sold for $45 million.
In addition to the scenic views, the country estate - originally built in 1939 - features a number of design elements taken from English and French traditions, including ivy-clad walls and a pastoral garden. The outside space also includes an all-weather tennis court and a pool.
Inside, the 13,344-square-foot home boats six bedrooms - with each suite coming with two baths, two dressing rooms and an office/study - as well as a separate spacious guest house.
In addition to the elaborate decorations throughout the country castle, the designer’s home also includes a Turkish-inspired theater, a family game room and a wine cellar/tasting room on the lower level.
The American designer previously opened up the doors to the grand estate back in 2017, when the then recently renovated homegraced the pages ofArchitectural Digest.
“You can’t have a house like this and make it Americana,” he said at the time of the home. “It’s an English manor with French details. And we wanted to preserve that feeling of being in a European country home with the carved-oak paneling and a patina that is authentic and a bit worn.”
“We knew it needed a lot of work, but we also knew that this would be our home,” his wife added of the home, which took almost six years to finish restoring.
The fashion designer and his wife previously sold theircoveted apartment inside Manhattan’s Plaza Hotel.
After 11 years on the market, the property was purchased for $31.3 million in 2019 after having originally been listed for $80 million, according toThe New York Times.
