JEREMY SPANN/HILTON & HYLAND
By Amy Dobson | Forbes
The place where comedian Jerry Seinfeld lived—or didn’t, depending how you look at it—during most of his years filming his famous sitcom has come back on the market with several adjoining parcels also available for sale. Seinfeld purchased the home for $2.8 million in 1992, just a few years into the run of his successful t.v. show and sold it for $3.2 million to an executive producer of the show in 1998 not long after the series ended. The comedian quipped during a 60 Minutes interview that the home was a ‘waste of money’ because he had had barely spent any time living there given how much time he spent at work.
The current seller is Leslie Peter Benzies, lead developer for the “Grand Theft Auto” video game series and former president of Rockstar North. Benzies had previously listed the home and three additional parcels totaling almost an acre in land for a combined $40 million in 2017. The main property is asking $14.95 million and two of the other parcels for sale are asking $5.495 million and $4.95 million. There are approved permits and plans in place to build on the land, which can be provided to interested buyers says listing agent Jonathan Nash of Hilton & Hyland. He has co-listed the property Stephen Resnick of the same brokerage.
