Bank-owned Glen Cove mansion 'as is' for $1.2 million

A 14-room Gold Coast mansion, built in 1907, is looking for the right buyer to bring it back to its former grandeur. The seven-bedroom Colonial is on 1.66 acres on Crescent Beach Road in Glen Cove. “It is grand and beautiful, but needs to be restored,” says Gail DeLane of DeLane Realty in North White Plains.

The home is listed for $1.2 million, and comes with water views, three fireplaces, an inground pool and beach rights. The property is bank owned and is sold “as is.”

In 2008, the Nassau County SPCA seized two horses from the property and charged the home’s former owner, Kelly Pfeifer, with animal cruelty. The horses were found emaciated, without food, water or salt, and living in filth in a garage that had been converted to a stable, according to a report in Newsday. Pfeifer eventually forfeited the animals and pleaded guilty to a minor charge. She paid a $250 fine, as well as $4,540 in restitution, and agree to undergo psychological counseling, the article says.
