Natalie Portman sells Sea Cliff home
The village of Sea Cliff is now officially minus one Oscar-nominated actress: Natalie Portman closed Tuesday on the sale of her seven-room beach getaway in the North Shore community after having it on the market for less than two months, a source says.
As Newsday reported first, Portman put the 2,000-square-foot Bay Street dwelling on the market at the beginning of June. The actress had owned the 1950s home under a trust since late 2002.
Terry Sciubba, owner / broker of Sherlock Homes Realty, which has offices in Sea Cliff, Glen Cove and Glen Head, listed the house. She declined Tuesday to comment on the sale or disclose the sale price. The house had been listed for $2.2 million. Representatives for Portman also didn't comment.
The shingled house has three bedrooms, 2-1/2 baths, a Gunite pool and panoramic water views of Hempstead Harbor from most rooms. Public records show that Portman also owns a condo on Charles Street in lower Manhattan, which for she paid about $5.7 million in 2005.
Portman, who graduated from Syosset High School in 1999 and Harvard University in 2003, likely hasn't had much time to spend in Sea Cliff lately. The actress has at least three films scheduled for release later this year. Portman has the title role in "The Other Boleyn Girl" with Scarlett Johansson, set to be released in December. She'll also star with Dustin Hoffman in the comedy "Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium," debuting in November, and will have a role in "The Darjeeling Limited," a Wes Anderson film out this fall.
