"STATS\n\n 6 BEDROOMS\n\n 7 BATHROOMS\n\n 1 HALF BATH\n\n 8,400 SQ. FT.\n\n $14.8 MILLION\n\nAmerican screen legend Katharine Hepburn commissioned this handsome brick house in 1939 as a summer retreat for her family in Old Saybrook, Connecticut. The estate is situated along the banks of the Long Island Sound.\n\nIn 2005 contractors with New York\u2013based building firm Sciame set out to renovate the house, raising it five feet as a measure against rising tides in the area. Sciame preserved the original pine-paneled hearths (the residence has seven fireplaces) and coffered ceilings, and restored the light-filled interiors. The well-appointed grounds cover one and a half acres and feature a tennis court, two-car garage, and private dock.\n\nContact: William Pitt Sotheby's International Realty, 860-304-2391; williampitt.com\n\nClick to tour the property.\n\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
