Sean Hannity, the Fox News celebrity, sold his estate in Centre Island, located in the town of Oyster Bay, following his announcement that he has relocated to Florida, leaving New York permanently.
Shawn Elliott, and his son Zach Elliott of Nest Seekers International, just closed on the sale of the property for a whopping $12.7 million. They sold it in just seven days after listing in May for $13.75 million, sparking a bidding war that ended in a fully furnished deal. That's a new record for the fastest home sale over $10 million in the area.
Shawn, who marketed the property with his son Zachary, said the buyer wanted to close in 30 days.
Shawn Elliott, who made headlines for selling Scottie and Larsa Pippen's huge mansion in Ft. Lauderdale in just 6 months after no other broker could sell it for over a decade, believes this record-breaking sale demonstrates the strong demand for luxury properties.
The estate spans nearly six acres and includes a magnificent home with seven bedrooms and nine bathrooms. The property boasts a substantial 500 feet of frontage on Oyster Bay, along with an 81-foot private dock. The grounds are also home to a par-three golf course, a tennis court, and a resort-style swimming pool.
Internally, the house is rich with custom details such as marble countertops, intricate millwork throughout the bedrooms, and a primary bathroom featuring dual vanities, dual walk-in closets, a soaking tub, and a steam shower. The living room is designed to facilitate both indoor and outdoor entertaining, opening up to a terrace with fire features that offer views across the bay.
Hannity, who bought the estate in 2008 for $8.5 million, has decked it out with amenities that include a wet bar and an exercise room.
