Friends of Steinway Mansion reported on Twitter today that the historic mansion has officially sold, with details forthcoming. Earlier this year, reports surfaced that the home was under contract with a private buyer, but details were murky. Now it looks like the sale pulled through. The Friends of Steinway Mansion notes that, “We hope [it will be] preserved & available for the community. Will post more info as we get it.” The group was trying to raise $5,000,000 to purchase the landmarked Astoria house and preserve it as a museum. The property, built in 1858, comes on a one acre parcel of land and the Friends of Steinway Mansion didn’t want the parcel divided up.

The home’s been on the market since 2010 and was asking $1,900,000 last summer. The ask, though, has been as high as $4,900,000. Now the question remains: how much did it sell for?
