Old Westbury property once owned by former NYC mayor on market

Bill San Antonio

An Old Westbury property once belonging to a Tammany Hall-era New York City mayor Jimmy Walker is on the market.

The six-bedroom, five-bathroom house on 2.26 acres is going for $3.58 million.

Its sale is being overseen by Michael J. Berman of Automatic Real Estate.

Walker was mayor from 1926-32, a product of the Tammany Hall political machine who was forced to resign following a corruption scandal.

Prior to being elected mayor, he served in both the state Assembly and Senate, where he notably opposed prohibition.

Classified as a “classic colonial,” the house features two living rooms, an oversized gourmet kitchen and sitting area and seven fireplaces.
