Late Music Legend Stephen Sondheim’s Longtime Connecticut Retreat Is Up for Sale

Stephen Sondheim, one of the most influential figures in 20th-century musical theater, passed away in 2021. This October, the last musical he was working on, dubbed ‘Here We Are,’ debuted in New York City, but that is not the only piece of his legacy to reveal itself this fall. The renowned lyricist/composer’s longtime Connecticut home just listed, giving a peek into the music visionary’s home life.

The Roxbury, Connecticut estate belonged to Sondheim for nearly 40 years. Embracing Connecticut’s quiet natural beauty, with nine acres of land to offer, and classic Colonial architecture, it’s no surprise the Broadway icon never saw a reason to part with it. Now, a buyer with $3.25 million to spend can decide to cherish it, too.

The 3,700-square-foot home dates back to 1792 and is a great size for intimate weekends away with friends, offering just three bedrooms. Carefully restored over the years, it brims with character with details like the cathedral ceilings and stone fireplace in the living room. Meanwhile, all the right updates have been made. Modern luxury melds with the historic feel in the form of contemporary and fresh bathrooms, chic hardware, and state-of-the-art appliances.

A one-bedroom detached pool house provides solace for guests, while Sondheim’s music room is ripe for creating. There’s also a pool, a wood-paneled library, and gardens so buyers have a space for every whim.

Carolyn Klemm and Graham Klemm of Klemm Real Estate holds this special Connecticut listing.
