Folk artist selling Roslyn Harbor home where show shot

Folk artist Thomas Langan is selling the Roslyn Harbor compound that he owns with his wife, Penelope. The one-acre property on Glenwood Road is listed with Antonietta Rijo and Maria Young of the Manhasset office of Prudential Douglas Elliman Real Estate for $2.9 million.

Annual taxes are about $26,207.

The three-bedroom waterfront home with its wraparound deck was built in 1860. The property includes a post-and-beam barn that serves as Langan’s studio and a boathouse leading to a 138-foot dock.

Scenes from Glenn Close’s television show “Damages” were recently filmed on the property. Commercials for Progresso soup and Folger's Coffee also were filmed here, as was the 1999 movie "Double Platinum" with Diana Ross and Brandy.

Langan’s works are in the private collections of luminaries such as John Cleese, Penny Marshall and Caspar Weinberger. He also has a work in the permanent collection of the Museum of American Folk Art in Manhattan.
