Stanley Tucci, who has appeared in tons of hit movies (from The Devil Wears Prada to Conclave to The Hunger Games), makes his primary residence in London these days, but once lived at this home near the New York-Connecticut border. It was back in the 1990s when the actor owned idyllic 27 Dingle Ridge Road in North Salem, eventually selling it in 1996 to the current owners who are now seeking just under $1.95 million for it.
The “Tucci in Italy” star—who has become a culinary TV personality in the last five years as he travels through Italy eating, cooking, and learning— actually remodeled the circa-1870 home’s kitchen prior to parting with it. Dressed in wood and clean lines, it has plenty of counter space and high-power appliances for food prep but also exudes a sense of Zen. Many people find their calm in the kitchen, and Tucci’s vision for this one encourages that.
Walking through the rest of the 3,768-square-foot home, it’s equally inviting with its abundance of natural light, continuous use of light-toned wood, and fireplaces just waiting for cold winter days. There are four bedrooms as well, with the primary suite being the largest, of course.
The antique, lovingly cared for abode also offers delightful porches where you can view the 2.3-acre grounds. The property also includes a large pool and a historic, rustic barn complete with a fully-equipped studio, bedroom, and bath. It could be a great detached work-from-home space or guest cottage.
