For sale...


It's small compared with the other houses on the block. Some say that is part of its charm.

"This is probably livable," said Mary Anne Kull, 61, a tourist from Ocean City, N.J., standing in the mansion's circular driveway.

Livable, maybe, if you've got $16 million.

The 39-room, 19,000-square-foot Gilded Age mansion -- a mere summer house to the Astor family that once owned it -- is on the market at an asking price that would make it one of the most expensive ever sold in this exclusive seaside community.


Ah, yes, another mansion to add to my growing collection.
