Former Eric Adams aide re-lists his grand Brooklyn home with a $1.8M price cut

You don’t have to fly to Palm Beach, or even drive east for hours on the Long Island Expressway, to arrive home at this waterfront mansion.A unique estate in Mill Basin on Brooklyn’s southern coast is back on the market — and with a price drop of $1.8 million since its initial listing a year ago.As reported by Mansion Global, this residence, located at 2626 National Dr., had an original asking price of $6.9 million last November, which was then dropped in April by $800,000 — and is now reduced by $1.8 million to $5.1 million.

Still, it has sat for a year.“The pricing is now more in line with the market,” Antin added.Mill Basin, a once-rural archipelago blighted by rampant industrialization in the late 1800s, is now mostly residential....
