According to The Wall Street Journal's Katherine Clarke, the massive home (which spans three floors) was pieced together from four individual units that Fallon and Juvonen bought over the course of more than 10 years, beginning with the 1-bedroom bachelor pad he picked up for $850,000 in 2002.

Jeremy V. Stein and Debbie Korb of Sotheby's International Realty hold the listing.

Fallon told The Wall Street Journal that he and his family are selling their longtime Manhattan home because they intend to make their suburban house in the nearby Long Island town of Sagaponack, New York, their main residence — though he doesn't intend to leave the city entirely.
