Sizzle, if not steak, in Havemeyer

Mark Twain’s final home lists for $4.2M in Conn

A Tuscan villa-style spread in the Fairfield County town of Redding, which Twain — born Samuel Clemens — built and resided in until his death in 1910, has listed for $4.2 million, the listing brokerage told The Post. 

Named “Stormfield,” the 6,300-square-foot property is aptly located at 30 Mark Twain Lane, and sits on 28.53 acres adjoining a 161-acre land trust.

The mansion gets its Tuscan look thanks to Twain’s extensive travels in Italy.

There’s just — ahem — one small problem with this description, one small detail:

Twain’s original home burned down in 1923, years after his death. But builders constructed a new property on the grounds in 1925 — retaining the home’s terraces, stone walls, stone pillars and gardens.

I can’t immediately lay my hands on the citation, but Washington’s army is said to have broken its march from Boston to New York by camping in the fields at the top of Palmer Hill, in what is now Havemeyer Park. Buy a house there, set up a replica pup tent, and presto! Instant history. Call me.

If you’re interested in visiting, but not buying an original Mark Twain house, I highly recommend a visit to his Hartford mansion. It’s fascinating.
