The former Long Island home of legendary funnyman Groucho Marx has been listed on the market for a cool $2.3 million, according to reports.
Marx - born Julius Henry Marx in 1890 - resided in the Colonial-style home, located at 21 Lincoln Road in Great Neck, from 1926 until 1931, at which time he and his family moved to Hollywood.
The residence was originally built in the 1920s and Marx purchased it in 1926 for $27,000, the equivalent of approximately $465,000 today; he reportedly had difficulty adjusting to suburban life after having mainly resided in large cities up until that point.
After selling the property, Marx reportedly paid the current owners - the Bruell family - an unexpected visit when he was in his late 70s; huge fans of his work, the family was only too happy to take him on a tour of his former home.
According to the listing, the home comes in at about 3,800 square-feet in size on a half-acre plot of land, with five bedrooms, a large living room and formal dining room, an eat-in kitchen and a deck and patio.
A comedian, actor, writer, singer, stage, film, radio, television star and vaudeville performer, Marx was famed for his quick wit. He was best known as the host of the game show "You Bet Your Life," in addition to starring in 13 comedic films with his siblings, the Marx Brothers.
Marx passed away in 1977 at the age of 86.
