This used to be considered "workforce housing" back in the day: The Garden City Victorian was one of the homes entrepreneur Alexander Turney Stewart had built as rental housing for his employees. This one was built in 1878, two years after Stewart's death. The house, which has seven bedrooms, three baths and 2.5 half-baths, contains 5,500 to 6,000 square feet, says Ryan Donnelly, listing agent for Coach Realtors Fennessy Associates in Garden City. "It's really a gorgeous and stunning house, he says. The current owner has been renovating the house since he moved in seven years ago. "It's been a labor of love," says Donnelly. The asking price is $1,799 million.
