Carlos Beltran Slashes Price and Sells Long Island Home

Carlos Beltran, Yankee slugger, sells his Long Island estate for $4.5M What do you do when you can’t sell your seven-bedroom mansion on the North Shore of Long Island? Well, if you are Carolos Beltran, famous slugger for the New York Yankees, you simply slash the price of your home by one million dollars and then wait for a buyer to make an offer. And an offer was made by a wealthy Chinese investor, whose name has yet to be disclosed. Beltran purchased the home back in 2006, while playing for the New York Mets, for $4.25 million.  He originally placed it on the market a year ago for $5.8 million, but lowered the price to $4.73 last October. The home includes the seven bedrooms previously mentioned as well as a private gym, a downstairs sports bar and a game room with a pool table and pinball machines.  There is also a granite swimming pool on the back patio. Beltran is also trying to move his Manhattan apartment at 325 Fifth Avenue.  That unit was listed last month at $7,995 per month.
