Could Obama Be Eyeing Hepburn House?
NBC Connecticut ^

Posted on 01/06/2012 1:32:23 PM PST by matt04

Katharine Hepburn referred to her family’s shoreline house in Old Saybrook as “paradise,” and some rumors have been circulating that the First Family might feel the same way.

Over the summer, word began to spread that the Obamas might be interested in buying the 8,000 square foot waterfront estate.

Now, those rumors are circulating again, according to the Connecticut Hearst Media Group.

Hearst spoke with the owner, Frank Sciame, who they said neither confirmed nor denied that there is presidential interest.

"It's not sold, that's all I can say," Sciame told Hearst over the phone. "It's not something I can talk about. Sorry I can't give you more."

The White House did not respond to the Hearst Group's requests for comment.

The house, on the market for $28 million, is on 3.4 acres and is surrounded by Long Island Sound, which would give the First Family privacy.

Buying a $28 million house sounds like something the 1 percent would do.

If that’s the house they featured in “The Aviator”, I’d have to agree that it is paradise. A beautiful house that was occupied by some very objectionable, elitist, socialist snots.

And if the Nobama's buy it it could be once again. I wonder how much it would cost ot put bars on the windows.

I like when Hughes says to Hepburn; “Don’t talk down to me. You’re a movie star and nothing more”.

Something really wrong about black velvet artwork adorning an old money Hepburn grotto in Old Saybrook.

As welcome as the Clintons were in Westchester County I suppose?

Movin’ on up, to the big time ...
The fresh prince of hot air

At least he’ll have extra bedrooms for all his kenyan relatives living in huts and in public housing

Somewhere a shaky old broad is shaking a little more fervently with a subteranean twist.

Beans don’t burn on the griddle, fish don’t fry on the grill,
Took a whole lot of griftin’, just to get up that hill.
