Louis C.K. sold his 123-year-old New York estate for $50,000 more than its asking price.
The controversial comedian listed his Shelter Island home, called Primrose Cottage, back in early August for $4.3 million. It entered into contract within the month, and the ink just dried.
The final price for the historic property totaled $4.35 million, The Post has learned.
Listing reps Carl Gambino and Marco Maida of the Gambino Group at Compass could not be reached for comment.
The deal marks a significant return on investment for C.K., who purchased the 2-acre estate in 2014 for $2.44 million.
The 58-year-old father of two undertook extensive preservation efforts throughout the Tudor-style home, we hear, including restoration of the home’s original millwork and six fireplaces.
There’s a whole lot of history to preserve at Primrose Cottage.
The home previously served as a presidential retreat for Theodore Roosevelt as well as his vice president and future successor, William McKinley. Reports also place the informal American debut of playwright J.M. Barrie’s “Peter Pan,” on the Westmoreland Farm property, as well as summer visits by Babe Ruth.
The roughly 5,000-square-foot “cottage” includes six bedrooms and five bathrooms, according to the listing. The property boasts a renovated chef’s kitchen with checkered floors, stainless steel appliances and a newly built butler’s pantry.
The 1901 home oozes English charm, with beamed ceilings, a grand curving staircase and a sunroom with charming green latticework.
C.K. added to the home’s outdoor amenities, as well, installing a new heated Gunite pool and hot tub, plus a refurbished deep-water dock to accommodate multiple boats.
The blend of old world charm and modern upgrades clearly found the right audience. Shelter Island listings currently spend a median of 137 days on the market, according to Realtor.com. C.K.’s home stuck around for just 18 days.
The stand-up is currently making the rounds to promote his upcoming debut novel, “Ingram,” and his ongoing international comedy tour, “Ridiculous.”
