Design Guru Sells Connecticut Home for a Discount
Fashion icon Tommy Hilfiger sold his Greenwich, Conn. home, a 20,000-square-foot Georgian Mansion, for $20 million. Known as Stone Hill, it was first listed at $27.9 million about a year ago. Hilfiger cut the 4-acre estate’s offering price earlier this year to $21.9 million, according to the Wall Street Journal.
The 58-year-old designer paid $18 million for the new home in 2005 and added stylish renovations. The exotic home now features custom millwork and has extrinsic wall treatments, such as cashmere and crocodile skins.
Included within the eight-bedroom and nine-bath mansion are a movie theater, a 2,000-bottle wine cellar, an indoor basketball court, tennis court, gym, sauna, spa-treatment room and pool.
Hilfiger has moved to New York City, where he recently completed interior work on his duplex at the Plaza hotel.

In Zillow’s defense, though, I dont’ really see how a computer program could come up with an accurate value for a one-of-a-kind estate such as this one.
