At its peak, the waterfront home was listed for $13 million in February of last year and most recently for $7.95 million in June, according to Realtor.com. Darren Weiner, managing director of Douglas Elliman's Sports & Entertainment Division, represented Whiteside. Both brokers declined to comment to TRD.
