Just as movie mogul Harvey Weinstein has left the Hollywood scene, he also has quietly exited from Fairfield County with the sale of his last two Westport properties.
Weinstein”™s adjacent properties at 26 Beachside Ave. and 28 Beachside Ave. sold for $10 million and $6 million, respectively, with Westport real estate investor Andrew Bentley acquiring both homes. The 26 Beachside residence, an 8,800-square-foot estate on a 2.38-acre compound, attracted national attention as the site for fundraising events for Barack Obama”™s 2012 re-election campaign and Hillary Clinton”™s 2016 presidential bid. The neighboring 28 Beachside compound features an 1,800-square-foot Cape Cod on a 3.33-acre waterfront parcel.
Weinstein, whose award-winning career collapsed amid a wave of sexual harassment charges, sold a third Westport home at 20 Minute Man Hill last October for $1.65 million.
