$6,125,000
Michael J. Fox and wife Tracy Pollan recently sold their Quogue residence for $6,125,000, a little less than they paid for it.

No public listing for the sale of the residence was available; however, it’s been listed for rent in the past for as much as $300,000 for Memorial Day through Labor Day. The home includes six en-suite bedrooms; a gourmet chef’s kitchen, with double sink, Viking appliances and a wine fridge; a breakfast nook; a large living area with a stone fireplace; a formal dining room with a fireplace; a library; and an enclosed deck. The master suite has its own egress to the grounds. The lower level includes a play area, a wine cellar and a movie theater. Outdoors, a heated in-ground pool has a jacuzzi and is complemented by a pool house. There is a two-car garage as well. The deal closed April 18, and the new owner is David J.
