An Old Westbury property formerly owned by Helene and Alan Fortunoff, president and chief executive of the family-run Fortunoff Fine Jewelry and Silverware, is currently on the market for $3.95 million.
The 10,000 square foot property is now owned by Jennifer Michaels, Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo’s finance director, and Howard Michaels, the founder, chairman and chief executive of The Carlton Group.
Realtor Janet Berookhim of Laffey Fine Homes said the couple owns multiple homes and are not using the house as their primary residence.
“It’s such a beautiful house,” Berookhim said. “Somebody should be enjoying it.”
The home contains eight bedrooms and seven and a half baths. Each bedroom with its own fireplace.
Although built in 1924, the home was entirely refurbished a few years back, Berookhim said, and also has its own movie theatre.
It has been on the market for a month and a half, and Berookhim said buyers have demonstrated interest so far.
“It has all the charm of an older house, but everything is modern and up to date,” she said. “You cannot duplicate the house on this property right now.”
