This over-the-top Mediterranean-style mansion on Long Island just sold for $9,225,000, making it the most expensive home sold this year in Nassau County, as well as the most expensive home sold in Sands Points since 2016 and the fourth-highest sale in the North Shore over the last five years. Sales records aside, the home’s opulence speaks for itself. At a whopping 20,000 square feet, the waterfront estate has an indoor pool, movie theater (complete with a ticket booth and stage curtains!), a personal arcade (with skee ball and pinball machines), and tons of marble.

The home was built in 2000 and sits on 3.6 acres.

Also on the property is a separate cottage with an extra 3 car garage, which makes an ideal guest house.

The home begins with a glamorous entry foyer with soaring ceilings and a marble floor design.

The open layout begins with the grand living room, which has gorgeous coffered ceilings and an intricate marble fireplace. Through a huge marble arch, more living spaces sit under a vaulted ceiling.

A formal dining room is also off the living room and leads to the eat-in kitchen.

The house has seven full bathrooms, four half baths, and six bedrooms. The master suite boasts double walk-in closets, two separate bathrooms, and a private office.

The entrance to the pool/hot tub area feels like a real spa, with a separate seating area and kitchen.

The movie theater might be the most incredible part of this residence. An actual wooden ticket booth leads to a two-story atrium, dripping in marble and carved ornamentation. From there, the actual theater has a stage with curtains, 13 plush seats, and two balconies with two more seats each.

Other perks include an elevator, gaming room, billiards room, and wine room.

Bethenny Frankel sells Hamptons home after taking a loss on her Soho condo

By Alexandra Alexa

It's been a busy 2020 so far for Real Housewives of New York alum Bethenny Frankel, who's finally unloaded two properties: her Soho condo and one of her Hamptons retreats. The Post reported last week that Frankel sold her seven-bedroom residence in Bridgehampton for $2.28 million after listing it for $2.99 million. It's a good thing she made a slight profit there because her Soho condo ended up selling for a significant loss. After almost three years on the market, Frankel sold her two-bedroom apartment at 22 Mercer Street for $3.65 million, the Observer reported last month. That's a $550,000 loss compared to the $4.2 million she paid for the pad in 2014—and more if you factor in what she spent on an extensive renovation.
