The Georgian-style Kilkee House was built in the 1960s on an idyllic stretch of Paradise Island that is accessible only by boat. Surrounded by the bay on one side and the ocean on the other, it was originally home to A&P supermarket heir Huntington Hartford and later to actor Richard Harris. Through the years, the secluded residence has played host to star-studded parties frequented by the likes of the Rat Pack, the Beatles, and Nicholas Cage.
Highlights of the interior include a grand foyer, multiple living rooms, an expansive white marble gourmet kitchen, and a formal dining room, which opens onto a private patio. Four of the bedrooms have their own en suite bathroom in addition to a master bedroom suite and separate staff quarters.
The two-acre parcel includes more than 200 feet of harbor frontage, along with a dock that can accommodate a yacht up to 150 feet, an expansive pool with a bridge and waterfall, a poolside cottage, and several loggias.
