Welcome to Old Westbury, New York where grand homes can be found on practically every corner, and the Phipps mansion is certainly no exception. 

Built in 1930, this Georgian estate features 20 wooded acres, exquisite fishpond, waterfall, tennis court and of course the main house enjoys more than its fair share of accoutrements.  From high ceilings to a wood-paneled library, the main house has everything you are looking for in old New York.

Asking price, $11.5 million.
