A Glorious Private Acre with a Star Studded Past
Own this historical home in Wellington Park, a highly desirable family neighborhood!

Basic Facts and Features

This interesting home awaits your vision and care. Ezio Pinza, a lead singer in the Metropolitan Opera and a famed star of Broadway records, purchased this spectacular acre in 1953, when Wellington Park was just being created. Ezio and his wife chose this tranquil site for their home because of the beauty of the setting on Haviland Brook, complete with wooded privacy and rock outcroppings.  Built to strict Ezio's specifications (as the New York Times promptly reported) this custom home is a blend of traditional colonial and open design with walls of windows to provide views of the brook and woodlands.

Step outside, and you experience the sights and sounds of the babbling brook and songbirds as you relax or entertain on the expansive wrap-around deck, or enjoy the fifteen-foot stone rotunda at the waters edge – just perfect for al fresco dining.
