The millionaire financier whose Connecticut mansion was burned to the ground in a turkey-frying accident had put his Florida estate on the market just weeks before the Thanksgiving Day tragedy.

The property in Weston, CT, owned by Tweedy, Brown Managing Director Thomas H. Shrager, according to public records, was gutted after a turkey was deep-fried in the garage, causing a massive inferno. The stunning $4 million home is now deemed uninhabitable.

The 9,378-square-foot home on a 2.07-acre lot had 11 bedrooms and 9.5 bathrooms. It was purchased in 1999 for $2.35 million and was estimated to be worth nearly $4 million.

It’s unclear where the Shrager family has decamped to, but public records indicate that they also own a home in Boca Raton, FL, which was listed for a staggering $25 million on Nov. 9.

Real estate agent Joyce Schneider, of Castles by the Beach Realty, confirmed to Realtor.com® that the Connecticut fire would not affect the sale of the one-of-a-kind property.

The listing describes the mansion as a “work of art,” which sits on 0.53 acres.

“As you enter the grand foyer you notice the stunning tile mosaic floors, murals and painted ceilings all done by renowned French painter,” the listing says.
