A style icon and poster-girl of the 1930s, Katherine Hepburn found rest in her private seaside home at Old Saybrook, Connecticut during the summers and the last seven years of her life.
With a nautical decor theme that echoed its surroundings, the 8,368sqf abode exuded a light, laidback and low-key ambience.
Designed by the actress herself in 1939, the house overlooked a private beach, dock and more than 680 feet of shore.
Inside, it boasts six bedrooms, seven fireplaces, and eight bathrooms.
