Margie Philo, managing broker with Berkshire Hathaway Adirondack Premier Properties, confirmed that Brown is one of two buyers interested in the property on North Broadway.
“We are negotiating with him,” Philo said. “We are not able to discuss anything further at this time.”
The 20,000-square-foot Rococo-style mansion sits on 1.3 acres and features six bedrooms, 13 bathrooms, two kitchens, four fireplaces, a five-car garage, bowling alley, movie theater and elevator. It was built in 2003 by socialite Michele Riggi and her late husband, Ron Riggi, who died in August.
