Weinstein Company co-founder Harvey Weinstein has sold a property in Westport, Connecticut for $1.65 million. Weinstein purchased the Compo Beach home in 1995, for $825K; he listed the property initially in April of this year, with a price of $2.25 million, but reductions had brought the asking down to $1.795 million prior to the sale.

The home is located on Minute Man Hill, and designed with traditional and modern architectural cues. It dates to the early 1950’s, and features an exterior that highlights glass and a series of angles that make for a pleasingly asymmetrical first impression.

The interiors are relaxed, and possess very good flow. It’s a bright home, with a terrific sense of scale, with a good sense of optimism arising out of the vaulted ceilings and blazing execution. It measures a little less than 3,050 square feet.

Living areas progress smoothly in the open-concept design, with exposed beams, a double-height ceiling, and a dramatic fireplace with a raised hearth that draws the eye. Off-white is nicely grounded by mid-toned plank hardwood floors. There’s a good mix of window shapes and styles, including bull’s-eye ornamentals, which bring a slightly eccentric atmosphere to the mix, and enhance the individuality of the house.

The four bedrooms and three baths include a smallish master, again with vaulted ceilings; a sitting room and a good-sized bath complete the suite. The property extends to .61 acre, and includes stacked stone walls, mature trees, lawns, and distinctly upscale East Coast landscaping.

Weinstein recently took a leave of absence from the Weinstein Group, which he co-founded, in the wake of harassment allegations. His credits include such blockbusters as ‘Pulp Fiction’ and ‘Good Will Hunting’. The Weinstein Group co-produced the Tom Stoppard-penned ‘Tulip Fever’; the film, which spent years in laborious and damaging post-production, has met with lukewarm reviews.
