The Kings Point estate of former New York City Mayor William R. Grace went on the market last week for $9 million. The 20,000-square-foot house was built in 1880 and renovated in 1996.
The 11-bedroom, 12.5-bath house has a heated swimming pool with a warming tub, a five-car, three-door heated garage and a granite kitchen with two dishwashers and a full storage pantry.
“This is a masterpiece of design,” says Inbar Mitzman, an associate broker with Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage in Great Neck who is listing the property. “They don’t build like this anymore in Great Neck.”
Grace was elected mayor twice, serving from 1881 to 1882 and again from 1885 to 1886. During his service, he accepted the Statue of Liberty from France.

"They don't build like this anymore in Great Neck."
There's good reason for that .... few families have need for 11 bedrooms and 12.5 bathrooms.
It's an old house, way overpriced.
