Yes, that was not a typographical error. The famous spaceship mansion in Brooklyn, New York is still being sold at $17 million but this time it comes with a free home, the neighbor's contemporary property.
The Mill Basin estate is still on the market at a downsized price of $17 million. But the price is not the shocking update to this piece of real estate news. The property owned by Galina Anisimova, former wife of a Russian billionaire developer, now comes with a jaw-dropping bonus, Curbed NY reported.
The neighboring compound of the seemingly out-of-place mansion overlooking the Jamaica Bay is the latter's newest "amenity." The said home is contemporary and was originally listed at $8 million but now comes free of charge if someone buys the Russian-owned estate.
This bonus home has contemporary features as well and is three floors tall. According to New York Post, this property has a total area of 7,800 square feet. It is made of limestone, cast iron and glass and also has a bamboo garden just like the main house.
The spaceship mansion, as many have dubbed it, originally went on market in 2013 at $30 million. At the time it was the second most expensive listing in Brooklyn. For that price, the would-have-been buyer got four masters suite, each with its own luxurious bathroom and water view, a unique circular meditation room, elevator, pool, cabana, spa and a marina that could dock three boats.
The roof deck of the mansion is massive and has its own kitchen. It is a perfect place to enjoy the panoramic view of the New York City skyline.
The entire compound also comes with 257 feet of waterfront.
However, the property had been a hard sell and most attribute it to the fact that it does not look like a New York mansion but more of a property that could be a staple in Miami or any other Mediterranean location.
The vast piece of extravagant real estate is listed under Corocan and agents, James Cornell and Leslie Marshall.
