Sitting on about half an acre in tony Amestoy Estates, the French country-style home conjures the spirit of a bygone era with elaborate molding, paneled walls and wood ceiling tiles.
Among the elegantly appointed rooms is a two-story great room with a fireplace and a retractable movie screen. The library/den has a speakeasy-style wet bar, and the formal dining seats as many as 18 people. A total of six bedrooms and six bathrooms is included in more than 6,500 square feet of space.
French doors extend the living space outdoors, where a brick patio surrounds a swimming pool and spa. A built-in barbecue station, lawns and mature trees fill out the grounds.
The property came up for sale in March for $3.195 million and was listed at $2.995 million prior to the sale. Kupcinet paid $1.895 million for the house in 2004, public records show.
Janine Gershon of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage and Tory Herald of Sotheby’s International Realty were the listing agents. Christine Kim of Keller Williams Realty represented the buyer.
Bradlee, 35, gained fame for his band Postmodern Jukebox, which often covers modern hits in jazz-swing style. The musician has released more than a dozen albums, including the 2013 record “A Motown Tribute to Nickelback.”
Kupcinet has directed such shows as “20/20,” “The Dating Game” and “The Richard Simmons Show.” He won three Emmys for the series “Cristina’s Court,” which he created and co-produced.
