Looks like Southerly, Patricia Altschul’s 10-acre Centre Island estate, has a buyer.
The home is now listed as “under contract” on the Web site of Daniel Gale Sotheby’s International Realty. No word on the selling price, but the asking price had been $15.8 million for the better part of this year. The estate went on the market in 2006 at $18.5 million.
Altschul is the wife of investment banker and philanthropist Arthur Altschul, who died in 2002. He was the father of CBS contributing correspondent Serena Altschul.
The 10,000-square-foot, eight-bedroom Georgian-style home was decorated by Mario Buatta, whose client list has included Mariah Carey and Barbara Walters. The property overlooks Oyster Bay Harbor and comes with a deepwater dock, a private sandy beach and a two-bedroom cottage with its own fireplace.
Altschul's neighbors include Billy Joel and Rupert Murdoch, who have had their homes on the market this year.
