Originally built by convicted felon and Colombo crime family figure, John Rosatti, a Mafia soldier, in the early 1990s, Rosatti was considered to be the wealthiest mobster in New York City. He was said to be valuable to the mob as an "earner" through his car dealerships in New York and Florida. Since money was no problem for Rosatti, he purchased the best lot in Brooklyn’s Mill Basin on which to build his dream home. Though continually watched, Rosatti managed to keep a low profile with the Feds until it was discovered that he had dredged the waterway and filled in the restricted wetlands now occupied by part of the house, the pool and docks. For this, he received a minor slap on the hands and a fine in the low six figures. In 1996, John sold the property to Galina Anissimova, ex-wife of one of Russia’s richest men. Anissimova purchased the property for $3 million and with the help of designer Noel Jeffrey, spent the next fifteen years turning the estate into the gem it is today.

On a corner lot of two adjoining waterways on Jamaica Bay, the estate overlooks Mill Basin and has quick access to the Belt Parkway and Kings Plaza Shopping Center. The property is designed as two houses in duplex fashion totaling 23,000 square feet - the main house of 15,000 square feet and the adjoining home at 8,000 square feet, with a total of four kitchens, five staff rooms, seven master suites, elevators to all levels, media rooms and gatehouse. Waterside is a 1,000 square foot pool and spa and 257 feet of water and dock frontage for multiple watercraft. Unique touches are found in the Lalique fireplace surround and the circular meditation room. Indoor parking will house up to seven cars and the secure, gated estate is surrounded by lush gardens and peaceful water views. For more information.
