Steinhart restored and designed the nearly 4-acre Connecticut estate himself, according to listing agents Heather Croner and Patricia McNamee of William Pitt Sotheby’s International Realty, who listed the home Wednesday. 

“It needed every bit of attention, which he gave it,” Croner said. “It’s so beautiful now; big spacious rooms, all in lovely proportion and beautifully decorated.”

The main house dates to 1874 and spans 6,641 square feet across two stories, with white siding, charming bay windows, multiple fireplaces, stained glass above the entrance and period embellishments. A welcoming entry hall leads to an elegant living room and corner dining room, the modern kitchen has a large island and breakfast nook, while a library steps down to a garden room surrounded by French doors. 

The house bears evidence of Steinhart’s insouciant style, with color-drenched rooms, patterned wallpapers as well as the striking two-tone wooden flooring in the library, which is original to the house. “He was a design maven, altogether,” said Croner. “Everywhere you look, every inch shows his sense of design.”

There is also a matching white pool house with two sets of French doors added by Steinhart, which opens onto a flagstone pool deck, and a converted carriage house with green barn doors. Combined, there are a total of seven bedrooms. 

The grounds also include a greenhouse, an outdoor kitchen, a croquet lawn and a terraced garden with multiple levels. 

Steinhart purchased the house for $2.6 million in 2022, property records show. He had sold another house on the block the year before for $1.8 million, more than double what he paid for it in 2013. He died in November 2025 at age 76.

Steinhart was born in Cuba to a prestigious family of bankers and businessmen, and founded Stubbs & Wootton in 1990. Fans of the footwear include Lady Gaga, King Juan Carlos I of Spain and Anne Hathaway, who was photographed wearing them on the set of the recently released “The Devil Wears Prada 2,” according to Steinhart’s obituary in The Wall Street Journal.

His brother, Frank Steinhart, who now runs the company, could not immediately be reached for comment. 

2028 defensive back Ryan Sims is a quick rising prospect from Suffield (CT) Academy. 

He’s been hearing from schools like Rutgers, Penn State, Boston College and Massachusetts, and has also started receiving offers.

His first came from Connecticut in January, followed by Rhode Island in April. On April 11, he hit another milestone when the Orange offered for his first Power 4 offer. 

“I really enjoyed my visit,” Sims said to The Juice Online. “I’m very grateful for the Syracuse offer.”

Sims was offered during his trip to Central New York

The offer came during his visit to Syracuse for its spring game on April 11.

During his visit, he got to see campus, tour the facilities and meet with the coaching staff. One coach he spent the most time with was Stack Williams, who extended him the offer.

“I really liked coach Stack,” Sims said. “I appreciated how he took time to connect with everyone who was visiting regardless of what point they are in their recruiting process with Syracuse.”

They talked about D.A.R.T. (detailed, accountable, relentless, tough), the mantra that head coach Fran Brown has instilled in the program since he arrived at Syracuse two seasons ago. 

Sims likes the culture at Syracuse

Sims also connected with Williams on how Syracuse develops its players to compete in the ACC and also helps them to prepare for the professional ranks after that.

Among the players that Brown has coached since arriving at SU include defensive backs Justin Barrons (Dallas Cowboys), Alijah Clark (Dallas), Clarence Lewis (Dallas) and Isaiah Johnson (Miami Dolphins).

“I love the program overall and what it stands for and the culture around it,” Sims said. “Coach Stack and I got to talk more on a personal level.”

Sims is predicting a breakout 2026 season

Suffield struggled in the 2025 season, going just 1-8. But Sims has vowed a different outcome this fall.

“2025 was an adjustment season,” Sims said. “My true breakout season will be this junior year. I felt I hesitated and could’ve just stopped holding back and made way more plays.”

Sims said he’s the kind of defensive back that can be out on an island and continue to make plays.

“I am a long, patient DB,” Sims said. “I love to play the ball and make quarterbacks not want to throw my way.”
