Got $7.75 Million? Purchase Noel Coward's Connecticut Retreat

As reported on Realtor.com, the lavish Fairfield, Connecticut mansion, Sasco Manor, once owned by theatrical genius Sir Noël Coward's business manager and lover, Jack Wilson, is on the market for $7.75 million.

The playwright/composer/lyricist/director/star regularly stayed and entertained there while working on Broadway productions such as PRIVATE LIVES, DESIGN FOR LIVING, PRESENT LAUGHTER and SAIL AWAY.

Jack N. Frank writes, "Built in 1927 by architect Francis Hamilton as his personal home and modeled after an English manor house, it was sold to Wilson in 1930. 'Much of the original detailing is there, and it's been restored, which is just wonderful,' says listing agent Victoria Fingelly. 'It's very English. You definitely feel like you're in an English manor house.'"
