The ‘Judy Garland House’ in Cape Cod, Massachusetts has hit the market for US $6.8 million (approx. AU $10.5 million). The cedar-shingled mansion, initially built in 1890, was leased by Garland and her daughter, Liza Minnelli, in the early 1960s.
Moments from the famous Kennedy Compound in Hyannis Port, this coveted piece of waterfront real estate is now on the market for the first time in over 30 years.
Despite never actually owning the property, Garland and Minnelli’s residence there made it a local landmark. The two reportedly lived here while Minnelli was working at the Cape Cod Melody Tent, and the home continues to sport Garland’s celebrity name among locals.
The 464sqm, two-storey property sits on a third of an acre with views of Hyannis Harbour and Nantucket Sound. It also boasts a wrap-around front porch from which you can take in the sublime scenery.
The phenomenal views continue from several indoor vantage points, including the living room and main bedroom, with their large bay windows. The interiors are styled with traditional coastal themes, complete with white-painted ceiling beams, timber flooring and stone fireplaces.
Blue floral upholstery, white linen and cane accent pieces evoke Diane Keaton’s on-screen Hamptons hideaway and re-enforce the property’s seaside style.
The sprawling home features seven bedrooms and four-and-a-half baths over its two levels and private wing. The main bedroom is a spacious retreat, with panoramic views of the harbour and a cosy sitting area.
The listing for the home is held by Paul Grover Real Estate. See more photos here.
Hyannis Port is famous for providing New England’s elite with a holiday hideout. It is most renowned for being the location of the Kennedy Compound: the family’s long-time summer residence, and the base for John F. Kennedy’s presidential campaign.
Over the years, the region has attracted a number of celebrities, including Taylor Swift, Meg Ryan, and Carly Simon.
