Paul Shaffer, musician, actor and longtime musical director on "Late Night with David Letterman" and "The Late Show with David Letterman," has sold his Westchester County home, according to online real-estate records.

The Cedar Hill Road sale, in the Bedford school district, closed on May 3, according to the listing on the website of Houlihan Lawrence. Frances M. Torres, of Houlihan Lawrence, had the listing. The 4,958-square-foot home, on eight acres in the town’s Middle Patent area, sold for $2.35 million.

Shaffer, in a January Journal News interview, said, “The house was just a wonderful place to raise a wonderful family."

“We just had a great experience with living in the Bedford area, and enjoying everything” — not only what the town has had to offer, but nearby Katonah, Pound Ridge, Mount Kisco and Goldens Bridge, he added.

Shaffer and his wife Cathy bought the home in 1991.
