Katharine Hepburn’s Beloved Summer Home for Sale

Who hasn't been fascinated by movie stars? From the globe-trotting to the opulent home life, an outsider perspective is endlessly entertaining, but part of the charm of reading tabloids and gossip blogs is to imagine what it's like to live like one. Well, you might get your chance.

One of the greatest movie stars homes is up for sale. 12 time Oscar nominee and 4 time winner, Hollywood legend Katharine Hepburn's summer home is for sale. On my CBS Moneywatch Home Equity blog, I give you all the details of the beautiful Connecticut estate.

The house is just as grand and elegant as you'd imagine but you get more than real estate value with this gem, you get stories:

• The house replaced another Connecticut home that was literally washed away, taking her 1932-1933 Best Actress Oscar for Morning Glory with it.
• The design for the house came from a set of building blocks from which Hepburn erected a model.
• In 2003, Hepburn died of natural causes in the comfort of the home.
