Drew Barrymore sells 1740s Colonial estate in Harrison for $4.5M

Drew Barrymore, 51, wanted the best of both worlds: a place close to Manhattan but away from the city's pace, without the long drive out to the Hamptons. That’s when she stumbled upon the Colonial mansion at 19 Winfield Avenue in Harrison, New York. The 1740s home seemed perfect for her requirements.

She bought the home in 2024 for $4.4 million. “I lived in the house in the most primitive of scenarios,” she told The Wall Street Journal, referring to the period when the home had no kitchen or running water. For the past two years, she invested her time and money in renovating the house.

In July this year, she sold it for $4.5 million, according to Zillow.The 1740s homeThe main house was built in 1747, according to the listing on Douglas Elliman.
