Ed Sullivan's Southbury Home Goes on the Market

The home where the Beatles swam in the pool is for sale in Southbury

It may have been some time since Ed Sullivan, who died in 1974, has lived in this house, but no doubt, in its heyday, many celebrities crossed the threshold.

The house, listed at $460,000 and located at 367 North Georges Hill Road in Southbury, is 3,500 square feet on 1.81 acres, and appears to be a jewel of local celebrity real estate.

The house was built in 1920, but the details are timeless.  The wide beam floor boards and beams, as well as the slate floor in the kitchen, are as appealing today as they were in the 1956 copy of American Home.

Some of the other features include a wet bar, three generous sized bedrooms and a downstairs den, stone fireplace in the living room, remodeled kitchen, all on a level, wooded lot.  

Check out the original article, and the following photos of the way the house looks today.

I would recommend supporting an increase similar to Ridgefield's which was under 2% (1.97%). If aRead More community like Ridgefield can perform at high levels with an increase under 2%, the Board of Education, in asking for almost twice that is openly admitting that they have installed inefficient management in school administration. Further, the sewer system on the referendum will require municipal funding since it is backed by the full faith and credit of the town of Brookfield and reduces the town's borrowing ability - the advertisement for which indicated it would not impact municipal funding.

So Mandarin Chinese won't be a requirement? Perhaps Manchurin Chinese? Cantonese Chinese? MongolianRead More Chinese? Which Chinese are the British speaking these days? Their empire stretched in the Hindu speaking parts of Asia but they aren't teaching Hindu. A quandry indeed.

The board of education's policy should pertain to all employees of the Brookfield Board ofRead More Education.

The short answer is because they want to. If you spent twice at much they still would. EducationRead More personnel need to be monitored on social media like Patch.

Interesting that representative Scribner fails to represent Brookfield's businesses choosing insteadRead More to focus on Ridgefields.

You certainly have a way with words. Why does it "suck"?
