1790s Style! Blondie’s Debbie Harry Buys a Vintage Connecticut Home

Blondie front woman Debbie Harry has scored a vintage property in Roxbury, CT, for $785,000.

The four-bedroom, 2.5-bath home was built in 1795 and has been “beautifully maintained,” according to marketing materials.

It features a chef’s kitchen with a farmhouse sink and Carrara marble countertops, a great room with a wood-beamed ceiling and french doors opening to the front patio. On the main floor is the master bedroom with a sitting room, fireplace, and master bath. Upstairs are three additional bedrooms and a full bathroom.

The 2,685-square-foot home on 3.47 acres boasts wide-plank wood floors throughout, a new wood-shingle roof, and restored windows. According to the Historic Barns of Connecticut, the original structure was a saltbox-style home popular during the 1790s. The saltbox had other buildings from the property grafted onto it over time.

As it stands now, it’s a beguiling blend of old-world charm and modern conveniences. The house features central air conditioning, new mechanicals, and a charming kitchen.

The listing agent and seller was Halstead’s Jill Sloane, who also sold Harry a neighboring property last year for $185,000, according to the New York Post.

Harry, 71, recorded several No. 1 singles with Blondie during the 1970s and 1980s, including “Heart of Glass” and “Call Me.”
