Louis C.K.'s Shelter Island Heights home is on the market for $4.3 million.
The Emmy- and Grammy-winning comedian purchased the home in May 2014 for $2.44 million, Newsday reported at the time. C.K. spent a decade restoring the home, which was previously listed for $7.95 million in September 2024, according to a statement from Compass.
According to records kept by the Shelter Island History Museum, the house was built in 1901 to be used by President William McKinley, but he did not see it before he died.
The Tudor boasts six bedrooms and 4½ bathrooms. Spanning 4,957 square feet, the home sits on just over 2 acres. It is known as Primrose Cottage, property records show. The taxes are $22,697.

Listing photos show the home has retained its classical facade, along with original plaster walls and millwork within. There are six fireplaces that were all restored. Some of its newest amenities include a central air system, insulation throughout the upper-level flooring, heating system and high-end finishes in the kitchen with the addition of a butler's pantry.
Outside, a brick patio surrounds a 20-by-50-foot heated, in-ground pool and hot tub. An elevated deck and sunroom offer views of finely landscaped hedges, photos show. The house also showcases waterfront views, and comes with a deep-water dock that can fit several boats.
C.K. is known for his stand-up, along with acting and writing for television and film. Earlier this year, he sold out a show at Governor's Comedy Club in Levittown, where he tried out some new comedy material. In 2017, C.K. was accused of sexual misconduct, for which he has apologized.
His property is listed by Carl Gambino and Marco Maida, of the Gambino Group at Compass. The agents and C.K.'s manager could not be immediately reached for comment.
