After nearly six decades of living at 110 Longfellow Ave., the Norton family is selling their home -- or, as legions of moviegoers better know it, the Corleone clan's sprawling estate in "The Godfather."

Edward Norton III, who was in high school when Hollywood legends Marlon Brando, Al Pacino and Robert Duvall hung out at his house for the 18 months of filming the classic Mafia flick, recently decided to put the home on the market after his father passed away in June at the age of 93.

eight-bedroom, three-bathroom home in tony Todt Hill, which is listed for $2.9 million, is strewn with mementos from the epic, such as cue cards with Brando's lines, pictures, autographs from the cast and crew, and a piece of the stone gate used in the film.

The stately 1930s-era Tudor manse is the backdrop for many scenes in the 1972 movie -- including the Corleones celebrating the wedding of daughter Connie, played by Talia Shire.

The Nortons' brush with fame unfolded after the movie's producers took some advice from one of its stars about where to house the fictional mob family.

After location scouts had no luck on Long Island, actor Gianni Russo, who played Corleone son-in-law and turncoat Carlo Rizzi, mentioned a house near where he grew up on Staten Island.
