Denis is known for his acerbic stand-up comedy, co-creating and starring in the FX series “Rescue Me” and voicing the saber-toothed tiger Diego in the “Ice Age” films. According to the Wall Street Journal, the Learys first purchased the property in 1997 as an escape from work in New York City. It last sold in 2017 in $1,891,250, according to records posted on Zillow.
“It’s kind of like a picture-postcard kind of a place, but it was a real family house and where my family and my wife’s family would come to celebrate Christmas and Thanksgiving,” Denis told the Wall Street Journal in 2016.
