Vinny Testaverde slashes price of Oyster Bay Cove mansion

Former New York Jet Vinny Testaverde has slashed the asking price on his Oyster Bay Cove home to $4.6 million. The quarterback originally put the 13,000-square-foot mansion on the market in October 2007 for $6.995 million, lowering the price at least twice since then. Shawn Elliott Luxury Homes & Estates had the listing.

The home is now co-brokered by Lynda Baker Realty Corp. in Hicksville and Century 21 Prevete Real Estate in Plainview. Elaine Lovaglio of Lynda Baker Realty says that the mansion is an “absolutely beautiful family home.” One of her favorite features, she says, is the lap pool which leads to a 20-foot waterfall, then into another gunite pool with a hot tub.

The center hall Colonial has six bedrooms and 7 ½ baths on four acres. Testaverde and wife, Mitzi, now live in a home in Hillsborough County, Fla., that they purchased in 2007 for $4.5 million.
