Irony: Convicted felon's Pecksland Road home was used as a set for a Michael Douglas film about a man who couldn't sell his house

131 Pecksland Road — failed to sell two years ago, it’s back with a new agent and a new, lower price

We wrote about this house and its beleaguered, imprisoned owner Samuel Klein less than two weeks ago, and now Greenwich Time offers a bit of a backstory.

GREENWICH — A home that was used as a location in the 2014 Michael Douglas and Diane Keaton film, "And So It Goes," is on the market for almost $8.5 million. 

The film, directed by Rob Reiner, depicts the travails of Douglas’s character, Oren Little, trying to sell the luxurious home. Little hopes to tries [sic] to make the big sale before retiring, and the house and grounds are prominently featured in the film. An allee of chestnut trees leading to the home was highlighted in a scene where Douglas drives his convertible up the entrance.

Although the film was a bust: $18 million budget, $15 million gross revenue in the US and Canada, and $25 million worldwide, listing agent Joy Kim Metalios praises the house itself, and with good reason — it’s a classic.

"It's probably one of the best known homes in Greenwich. Everyone has driven by and said, 'Oh my God, that's the most beautiful home in Greenwich,' " said Joy Kim Metalios with Houlihan Lawrence, who has the listing.

We’ll hope for Joy’s sake and Klein’s defrauded investor/creditors that she has better luck selling the house than Douglas did.
