SOUTHAMPTON, NY —A stunning Southampton home once owned by comedy legend Mel Brooks and his wife, actress Anne Bancroft, has sold for full asking price of $4.995 million, according to Douglas Elliman.

The home, located on prestigious Meadow Lane, was listed with Michaela Kezler of Douglas Elliman; Mary Quatroche from the Morley Agency brought the buyers. The house was in contract for two weeks, and sold and closed in two months.

Brooks is known for classics including "Blazing Saddles," "Young Frankenstein," "The Producers," and "Spaceballs", while Bancroft starred in "The Graduate," "The Miracle Worker," "The Elephant Man," "Agnes of God," and "Curb Your Enthusiasm".
