Pretty Penny, Estate of the Day

Filed under: Estates

Pretty Penny in Nyack, New York is the sort of home where anyone would want to spend a weekend away. And many famous people have, including President Reagan, Cole Porter, Laurence Olivier, Vivien Leigh, and Marilyn Monroe. The home's celebrated history comes courtesy of its former owner, the actress Helen Hayes. The theater star bought the Victorian home on the Hudson river with her screenwriter husband Charles MacArthur in the 1930s. The six-bedroom home has been restored in a way that retains much of its charm including the original murals. Although the kitchen and the bathrooms may be new, the sense of history, of a life steeped in the arts, remains in these walls. The property includes a pool, fountains, terraced gardens and sculpture. The home has been on the market since at least 2007 and has had a couple of price reductions. It is now listed at $5.8 million.

It had been said that actor Stephen Baldwin put his house on the market because of his frustration with a sex shop that had opened in his neighborhood but now Page Six says that the real reason the born-again Christian is putting his Rockland County house on the market is because he is in need of cash and owes back taxes. Baldwin's home is an elegant Victorian built in 1850. It is listed at $3.4 million. The home has Hudson river views. Baldwin bought the house in 1997 for $515,000 and has restored it but it may not be worth the ambitious listing price. Page Six has experts pricing it out at $2.8 million.
