New Porn: Hunt’s Point Mansion On Lake, With Elevator

The most expensive property added to Redfin this week is on Hunt’s Point (again): 5 bedrooms, 6.5 bathrooms, 8,865 square feet, 24-foot ceilings, $7.975M (last sold for $1.2M in 1996, the equivalent of 20% interest compounded annually), in a gated community with its own waterfall.

Spending all day looking at pictures of immaculate, empty houses, I’ve begun to feel that, no matter how beautiful, they all look hopeful and sad at the same time.

Weirdly, there are six properties for sale on the same street, selling for $3.9 – $7.4 million (do rich people move more often?)

(porn property outlined in yellow, other properties for sale in red, sales in the past three years in blue ). Five of the six properties are being sold by two agents. If you click on the listing just north of our featured property, you can get some photos of the whole waterfront that seem to have been taken from a chopper (possibly the owner’s chopper?)

The house has its own elevator, perfect for Mariah Carey, owner of more #1 hits than the Beatles (Carey “won’t do stairs”). The two properties directly behind this week’s winner sold for $7.6 and $3.5 million last year.
