Northern Blvd., Estate of the Day

Filed under: Estates

Today's home on New York's Gold Coast is a stately brick Georgian built in 1923. The home was built by architect James W. O' Connor for John F. Bermingham, the former mayor of the town it is located in, Muttontown. The home was restored in 2004 and an addition added 14,000 square feet of space including a 17-seat movie theater. Listing agent Anna Alyskewycz of Prudential Douglas Elliman Real Estate told Newsday that the new wing was built to match the opposite wing to preserve the appearance of the home's exterior. The six-bedroom home also has a new kitchen, a ballroom, a wine cellar and a gym. The home is on 7.17-acres with a pool and poolhouse, a tennis court, two cottages, a nine-car garage and a four-car garage. It is listed at $15.5 million.

Chad Pennington in Muttontown, Estate of the Day

Laura Mann of Newsday reported last month that Jets quarterback Chad Pennington had put his house on Long Island on the market but I think recent news makes today a fine chance to discuss this one. The quarterback, who just lost his job to the man who can't retire, Brett Favre, has a home in Muttontown, New York that he is eager to sell.

I would not have guessed that this six bedroom brick Colonial belonged to a celebrity and certainly not a sports celeb until I saw the huge fitness area. Pennington's pad is a 7,000 square foot home on over two acres that include a Gunite pool and a four-car garage. It's a rather bland but certainly expensive family home with details like a billiards room, master suite with a fireplace and what looks to be a coffee bar. Overall it looks freshly outfitted from a high end furniture store right down to the window treatments. Pennington bought the house in 2005 for $3.595 million. It first hit the market for $4.095 million a month ago but is now down to $3.995 million as Pennington clearly wants to get out of town.
