Have a nomination for a jaw-dropping listing that would make a mighty fine House of the Day? Get thee to the tipline and send us your suggestions. We'd love to see what you've got.

Location: Easton, Conn.
Price: $1,195,000
The Skinny: In 1989, actress Jessica Tandy finally took home an Oscar, for her role in the classic Driving Miss Daisy, as the ornery title character. Even now, nearly two decades after her death, Tandy remains the oldest female winner of an Academy Award and beloved for the role, which placed her opposite Morgan Freeman. Tandy and her actor husband, Hume Cronyn, once owned this Connecticut country estate together until her death. There's no telling how the place has changed in the intervening years, but the interiors certainly seem like something Miss Daisy would have approved of. Set on 4.58 acres, the estate includes a 4,000-square-foot, four-bedroom main house, and a pool with pool house. For those looking to relive Tandy's famous film, there's a detached three-car garage with apartment—perfect for the chauffeur.

Celebrity Real Estate: Drinking and Driving Haven't Helped Estella Warren Sell Her House

Last month, Planet of the Apes (remake) star and former model Estella Warren found herself in a legal pickle after she was arrested for driving her Prius under the influence. Things didn't get much better down at the police station, where she slipped her cuffs and tried to make a run for it. Now the leggy lawbreaker is facing felony charges and, in all likelihood, a mountain of legal fees. All the while, her three-bedroom Beverly Hills home has been lingering on the market, looking for a buyer at $1.5M. What with those legal problems, a cash buyer might be able to swoop in and score a deal on her 2,250-square-foot hillside house.
