The New Canaan estate that was the home of pioneering talk show host Jack Paar was sold for $2.05 million.
The 4.54-acre property at 115 Pequot Lane features a 6,631-square-foot residence that was custom built for Paar in 1973. The residence includes five bedrooms, seven bathrooms, a pool, a spa, a tennis court and a separate guest suite with its own kitchenette.
Paar sold the home in 1986 for $1.5 million to Spiros Segalas, co-founder of the investment management firm Jennison Associates, who lived at the property until he passed away earlier this year.
Paar was the host of “The Tonight Show” was the king of late-night television from 1957 through 1962, when he handed the program to Johnny Carson. After moving from New Canaan, he settled in Greenwich where he passed away in 2004.
