“During your stay, guests will have private access to the grandeur of our mansion, including five bedrooms and seven bathrooms that are most suitable for two adults and three children,” according to the listing description. “We also have plenty of activities and amenities onsite, including a large saltwater pool, a pub in the basement, a game room, and a gym.”
The listing explains that the 6,248-square-foot home was built in 1930 and though it has been renovated, fans will still recognize its exterior from the film.
According toSILive, the home was last on the market in 2019 for $1.37 million and though it was used as the exterior for the wedding scene in the film, a home next door was used for a lot of the other filming.

The filming for the Francis Ford Coppola movie took place over two months, SILive reported.
While the Airbnb was just used as an exterior, some of the rooms, despite any renovations, still look as though they could have existed in the world of the Corleones. The dark wood desk that appears in the home’s office, in particular, is reminiscent of the one that appears in the film.
Pacino, 82, and author Michael Hainey participated in a discussion about the seminal mafia title before Tribeca screened the film’s restoration.

De Niro, 78, and Pacino had previously joined Coppola, 83, onstage at the 94thAcademy Awards, where the iconic directorreflected on his magnum opus' milestone anniversary.
“I feel moments like this should be sincere and brief,” he said, turning to De Niro and Pacino. “And I’m so grateful for my wonderful friends to come here to help me celebrate with you.”
The Godfathertells the story of the Italian-American crime family of Don Vito Corleone (Marlon Brando) as his youngest son Michael (Pacino) joins the mafia and tries to juggle the violent family business with his marriage to wife Kay (Diane Keaton).

The film, which is based on screenwriter Mario Puzo’s 1969 novel of the same name, has been widely regarded as one of the best films of all time since it premiered in 1972. It won three Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Adapted Screenplay, in addition to nominations for Coppola and Pacino.
De Niro starred in 1974’sThe Godfather Part IIas a younger version of Vito.
