Fashion designer Kenneth Cole’s Westchester mansion will go back on the market, we hear, after George Clooney rented the historic spread during his run on Broadway in “Good Night, and Good Luck” early this year.
The star’s stay only adds to the rich history of the historic Stanford White–designed estate, which is “one of the county’s most architecturally significant private residences,” a well-heeled insider told Page Six.
Cole is quietly prepping to list the property again after it went on the market last year for a cool $22 million.
The home — built in the 1900s in Purchase, NY — was featured in the 1969 film adaptation of novelist Philip Roth’s “Goodbye, Columbus,” starring Ali MacGraw and Richard Benjamin.
A source told us, “The storied home is said to be poised for its next chapter,” and that it offers a “rare blend of Gilded Age grandeur and contemporary restoration.”
Cole’s fashion brand is reportedly valued at over $1 billion. The footwear guru, 71, picked up the place for a mere $2.8 million in 1991.
He previously told Bloomberg he was parting ways with the seven-bedroom pad because his three kids were all grown.
The 12,000-square-foot, three-level home sits on a gated 14-acre lot and is surrounded by acres of gardens.
It also has three different office spaces, Realtor.com reported when it was last up for sale.
The previous broker for the property told Mansion Global: “It’s unique because it’s the largest parcel in lower Westchester.”
They pitched it as “a magnificent Colonial that has a gated entry and that’s reached via a long meandering drive.”
Clooney was nominated for a Tony for his role in the limited-run play “Good Night, and Good Luck,” the theater adaptation of his acclaimed 2005 film.
