In 1940, bandleader Artie Shaw composed a song that would become one of his signature tunes: "Summit Ridge Drive," named for Shaw's then-home address. For a brief period that year, the Summitridge Drive residence was also home to movie star Lana Turner, with whom Shaw eloped after their first date. Designed in 1936 by architect Robert Byrd, the Connecticut farmhouse-style property was purchased by Gregory Peck in the late 1950s. Per its listing, the 4,068-square-foot house features five bedrooms, four-and-a-half baths, four fireplaces, hardwood and stone floors, heated pool, garden, buried power lines, parking for ten cars, and 180-degree views. Asking price is $3.65 million.
