Although faxing was eclipsed by
email correspondence, the man
who helped launch the antiquated
method of communication is still
moving and shaking. He is selling
one of his many Long Island properties
for $5.4 million.
Sitting on top of a cliff north of
Huntington overlooking the Long
Island Sound, the backyard view
of the Tudor mansion on Count
Rumford Lane is a 180-degree
unobstructed view of Centre Island.
“You’re looking at the ocean but
you’re not on the water so there’s no
worry about a storm surge due to
the home’s position above ground,”
said Rich Kruse, one of the realtors
with Douglas Elliman who is listing
the property.
