‘Godfather’ House Up for Sale

Some lucky cinema buff can now a big piece of film history, as the Staten Island estate where The Godfather was filmed has come on the market, for $2.89 million. The exterior of the home was used to shoot Connie’s wedding in the first film, and the backyard, where there is now a pool, is where Don Corleone (played by Marlon Brando) died. The owner has renovated the eight-bedroom, three-bathroom home so that parts of it look the way it did in the movies, most notably Don Corleone’s office. The mansion covers more than half an acre in the Todt Hill section of Staten Island and has gone through only two owners. The last owner bought the house in 2012 for $1.7 million.
