Sands Point mansion with its own car wash wipes ask below $9M

The same month that a Sands Point estate returned to the market at a substantial discount, another high-priced home in the village located at the tip of the Cow Neck Peninsula has has a more modest reduction. Newsday reported that a 9,103-square-foot residence with its own car wash in its garage is ready for sale at $8.495 million. That potential purchase price is about $500,000 less than the $9 million that the property soughtwhen it hit the market last October. The home, located near the Sands Point Preserve at 48 Sterling Lane, was built in 2018. The 2.34-acre property in the Harriman Estate section of Sands Point comes with a pool, an outdoor fireplace and a three-car garage. The home itself has six bedrooms, eight bathrooms, two half-bathrooms, eat-in kitchens, a dining room, a library, balconies on two floors, four fireplaces, a game room and a wine cellar. The underlying property traded for $500,000 in March 2001, according to Realtor.com. It was then put on the market for $10 million, but didn’t sell again until September 2017 after its price was gradually reduced to $2.6 million. Scott Van Son of Berkshire Hathaway Home Services/Laffey International, a tie-up forged a year ago this month, has the listing. [Newsday]
