Middletown, Conn. (October 31, 2018) — William Pitt Sotheby’s International Realty announced today that the firm’s listing at 455 East Street in Middletown will serve as the movie set of an upcoming Christmas film, starring Barbara Eden and Denise Richards. The property is listed with Madison agent Laurie McCann and is on the market for $399,000.
The film is being produced by Phillip Goldfine, who is best known for his work on the Oscar-winning documentary “The Lady in Number 6: Music Saved My Life.” The movie will be released in Christmas of 2019 as production wraps up at the four-bedroom home this week.
Originally built in 1786, the home at 455 East Street has been owned by just two families in 232 years, earning itself a place on the National Register of Historic Places. Located on a large parcel of land in close proximity to downtown Middletown and Wesleyan University, this center-chimney Georgian Colonial house features wood-framed post and beam construction, a brownstone foundation and a cement floored basement. With over 3,000 square feet of living space, the home also highlights six fireplaces, a heated, in-ground gunite swimming pool and a tavern room with a wet bar and built-ins. There’s also a three-season screened porch that overlooks the grounds, a detached four-bay garage, a large barn and a newer, copper lined red cedar shake roof.
“This vintage property already holds so much history, and now another exhilarating chapter will be written with the filming of a movie,” said McCann. “It’s not only exciting for this house, but it’s also a thrill for the entire town. I am very proud to represent this charming home.”
