Live Like Gatsby — Seriously
Location: Sands Point, New York
Price: $13.888 million
Live Like Gatsby — Seriously
This house in New York is believed to have been inspiration for Jay Gatsby’s home in F. Scott Fitzgerald’s “The Great Gatsby.” Back then, the home was owned by a railroad heiress and the author spent time there learning about the aristocratic, old-money ways of the elite, according to Bloomberg.
In his book, here’s how Fitzgerald describes Gatsby’s house: “a colossal affair by any standard — it was a factual imitation of some Hôtel de Ville in Normandy, with a tower on one side, spanking new under a thin beard of raw ivy, and a marble swimming pool and more than forty acres of lawn and garden.”
There’s no ivy or swimming pool here any longer — if there ever were to begin with — but you do get a tennis court, 391 feet of beach, 14 bedrooms, eight bathrooms and 12,000 square feet of living space. Plus bragging rights.
