Long Island Home Featured In 1980s Movie 'Endless Love' For Sale

A Long Island home featured in the 1980s movie “Endless Love” is on the market for $1.7 million.

The Victorian-era mansion, located at 140 Glenlawn Ave. in Sea Cliff, was used as a backdrop in the 36-year-old teen romance film starring Brooke Shields, James Spader and Tom Cruise.

This “Endless Love” home was built in 1903 on a nearly half-acre lot in the wealthy seaside village. The home offers 6 bedrooms and 3.5 baths. The three-story home offers a wraparound porch and a classic Victorian entrance. Inside the home, a curved entryway leads to the sitting room and fireplace. There are five total fireplaces, with many located within several of the bedrooms.

According to Realtor.com:

“In the 1981 film, an obsessed teenage lover sets fire to the porch of his girlfriend's home in a scheme to win over her skeptical parents. Rather than shooting that scene on a movie lot, the filmmakers decided to spark (and extinguish) a real fire at the home, The New York Times reported. There are absolutely no signs of damage, just the remnants of this tragic tale of forbidden cinematic love.”

The home has only had 5 owners and was last sold in 2006 for $1.22 million.
