$2.2M Huntington Bay Home Once Owned By William R. Hearst On Sale

HUNTINGTON BAY, NY — A Huntington Bay property that once belonged to publishing tycoon William Randolph Hearst is on sale for $2.2 million. The 1.12-acre space is located at 7 Upper Dr. North and was built in 1906.

The Tudor-style mansion features a billiards room, 800-bottle wine cellar and in-ground pool with a patio and gazebo. A veranda allows the homeowner to oversee the property. There are seven bedrooms, as well as five full bathrooms with a half bathroom. The kitchen offers plenty of space for the family chef(s) to work.

More photos of the estate can be seen on the Realtor.com listing.

The home was built as one of the original five turn-of-the-century properties to host the wealthy and celebrities who often visited the BeauxArts Casino, where the Bay Club now stands, during the Jazz Age, according to the listing.

Hearst is believed to have purchased the home for his mistress, Ziegfeld showgirl Marion Davies, the New York Post reported. The duo met following her 1915 performance of "Stop! Look! Listen!," according to the report. Hearst was 52 at the time and 12 years married, while Davies was 18.

The property is roughly 2 miles from downtown Huntington and 3 miles from the Huntington Long Island Rail Road Station, the Long Island Press reported. The $26,092 annual property taxes are not included in the $2.2 million figure, according to the Long Island Press.

Sabrina Teplin of Douglas Elliman Real Estate is the listed real estate agent for the property. She can be called at 631-697-0533.
