Lake Success home from Whitney Houston film lists for $6.3M

A mansion in Lake Success where scenes for “The Preacher’s Wife,” a 1996 film starring the late Whitney Houston and Denzel Washington were shot, has returned to the market with a $6.288 million ask, slightly higher than the $5.88 million it hit the market for in 2012, Newsday reported. The property at 128 Windsor Gate has also made cameos in commercials for Budweiser and Jimmy Choo and appeared in an episode of MTV’s “Cribs.” The home, which was built in 1993, has six bedrooms, five-and-a-half bathrooms and a banquet-size dining room with marble floors, as well as a gym, spa, wine cellar and a chef’s kitchen “designed to withstand the rigors of grand entertaining,” according to its listing with Eva Lee of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage. Outside the home there is a porte cochere, a circular driveway, a four-car garage, a heated saltwater pool and an outdoor kitchen with a pizza oven. Property records show that the home previously sold for $6.6 million in December 2013 after being listed a year earlier. [Newsday]
