Wander around Bruce Willis' former house – it is a property to die (hard) for
The 22-acre property is one of the most expensive homes in Westchester, New York
Actor Bruce Willis and his wife Emma Helming Willis have sold their country estate near Bedford Corners in New York, for $7.66 million – a huge 41% off its original listing price.
The Die Hard actor listed the 22.6-acre estate with Douglas Elliman for $12.95 million in 2019.
The spacious property includes four separate houses, two garages, a saltwater pool, a pool house, and a tennis court, according to listing.
The sale is one of the priciest transactions to be recorded in Weschester in 2019, according to a spokesperson for Douglas Elliman.
Now you can debate whether Die Hard is a Christmas film or not while perusing the actors home.
