Acting legend Katherine Hepburn’s Connecticut seaside estate has been placed on the market for $14.8 million. Hepburn, who died in 2003, grew up in the home, and frequently returned to it throughout her life. The residence sits on 1.47 acres with over 200 feet of waterfront overlooking the Long Island Sound. In the 1930s and 1940s, Howard Hughes landed his seaplane directly in front of the home.

The property was originally developed by Hepburn’s family in 1913, but the original home was destroyed in a hurricane in 1938. The home was rebuilt – and that is what remains to this day.

The main residence, set on the Long Island Sound, includes over 8,000 square feet of living space on three floors, with six bedrooms each with their own private baths, and seven fireplaces. A den, chart room, potting room, pantry, laundry room and two-car garage complete the estate.

Hepburn is widely considered one of the finest actresses in Hollywood history. She won a record four Academy Awards, and her films include such classics as “The African Queen,” “The Philadelphia Story,” “The Lion in Winter,” “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner,” “Morning Glory,” “Holiday,” “Woman of the Year,” “Bringing Up Baby”, “On Golden Pond” and many others. She died in 2003.
