Robert Weinstein - Harvey Weinstein's Brother - Sells CT Home

GREENWICH, CT — The younger brother of disgraced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein has sold his waterfront Greenwich home for $17 million, according to a real estate site and Greenwich Free Press.

Robert Weinstein, founder of the mostly horror film company Dimension Films, bought the property - located at 207 Byram Shore Road - in 2000 for $16.4 million. Over the years he had it extensively renovated.

The Free Press writes that in 2013 and for subsequent years, Weinstein had the property listed for $32 million. The site realtor.com states the home measures nearly 13,000 square feet, rests on 3.28 acres and was built in 1916.

In addition to establishing the Dimension Films, Robert Weinstein also co-founded The Weinstein Company in 2005 with Harvey, following the sale of their previous imprint Miramax to Disney.

Since last year, Harvey Weinstein has faced an avalanche of sexual assault and sexual misconduct accusations, which led to his ouster from The Weinstein Company and an arrest in New York on sexual assault charges late last month. He pleaded not guilty to the charges this week.

Both Weinstein brothers owned and sold homes in Connecticut, with Harvey unloading homes in Westport, one on Minute Man Hill and two on Beachside Avenue.
