New York Governor Andrew Cuomo’s one-time home in Queens has re-entered the market as a rental. The current owners—who picked up the property in January of last year for $2.35 million, from an asking price of a little under $2.7 million—would like to lease it at $5.5K/month.

The home was apparently designed by Stanford White, the same architect who built ‘Land’s End,’ the Sands Point estate which served as the locus for Jay Gatsby’s story in Fitzgerald’s novel. The Long Island mansion was demolished by a developer in 2011.

Cuomo’s ex-home is located in the Douglas Manor neighborhood, and measures about 10,000 square feet. It contains six bedrooms and six baths. It is designed in the French provincial style, and features a comfortable and inviting sense of expanse.

The interior contains a huge amount of original oak: a broad staircase, wainscoting, windows, and narrow-plank flooring are all beautifully evocative of the craftsmanship of the era. Most interesting is the inlaid flooring of the enclosed porch or sunroom. The room is accented with leaded glass windows with occasional ornamental panes.

Bedrooms offer their own sunlit sitting areas, usually as step-down rooms. On the second floor, a set of French doors offers access to another step-down sitting room. The house holds quite a few surprises.

Outside, a flagstone patio with attached pergola offers warm-weather lounging and dining; there is a dayroom which accesses the exterior through French doors, leading into the landscaped grounds.

The house had been on the market for nearly two years before it sold last year. It had seen price cuts from its initial listing at $3.1 million.
