It looks like the North Shore's luxury market is ready to rebound, even if home-buyers aren't. So if you’re looking to quit the city in a serious way, now's the time!
Enter the five new listings that hit the market over the past few days, ranging from a little under $5 million to well over $20 million. Some have been on and off the market for years; others have been quietly enjoyed for the past two decades. But they're all big-time listings yearning for wide-eyed buyers.
The recently-listed $21 million estate in Lloyd Neck is the most notable of the bunch. It was designed by gilded-age architect Stanford White. The estate appears to be in original condition, which includes numerous outbuildings and 55 ACRES of waterfront land. It sits a few hundred feet away from the estate that Bragenlina was rumored to rent. We don't recommend bragging about almost renters, though.
Get the skinny on the rest of the listings after the jump!
The Woolworth Estate - another notable Gold Coast mansion - also hit the market this week. The colossal marble manse of the Woolworth fortune, which has been on and off the market for years, rests on 16 acres in an eclectic area of Glen Cove. The mansion has had a troubled past, including stints as office space, the temporary site for a local prep school, and the site of numerous ghost stories. We think this place is rather priceless, but brokerage Glen Key Realty thinks $19.5 million will do the trick.
A $8.9 million country house in commuter-friendly Manhasset, a newly-reduced $6.250 waterfront compound in the hamlet Teddy Roosevelt called home, and a $4.995 estate by mostly respected developer John Kean, which is up the street from John Lennon's old country house, round off the list.
