Sands Point, LI $12.5 million
It’s hard to argue with the claim that this “exquisite, palatial” estate represents the “epitome of luxury living.” After all, when you’ve got your own ballroom with 30-foot ceilings, you know your house is, well, “fit for royalty.” Like any good palace, this “glorious” 2-acre estate is “gated” and features the “finest European craftsmanship” employing only “unparalleled imported materials” — from the “opulent,” 46-foot-long marble staircase down to the “lounge-like” powder room of “one of a kind” onyx. Of course, there’s a “resort-like,” salt-water mosaic swimming pool and a “spectacular lower level.” And not to forget: five bedrooms and seven-plus bathrooms, too.
