Historic Westchester Estate with Ties to Father Divine Lists for $5.49 Million

Former home of Charles Fillmore's successor, a 5-foot-2 preacher, in Tarrytown, New York.

A
stunning Tudor-style home in Tarrytown, New York, is now on the market for $5.49 million after being reduced from its original ask of $6.99 million last year. The property at 11 Carriage Trail was once owned by Father Divine, a spiritual leader and civil rights pioneer who founded the Peace Mission Movement.

    Built in 1926 by Alexander Bing of Bing & Bing, this celestial stone abode features hardwood floors, arched entrances, and six bedrooms spread across 15,456 square feet. The home also boasts seven bathrooms, two powder rooms, and an impressive eat-in chef's kitchen with a large pantry.

    The property includes a three-bedroom carriage house with a five-car garage, perfect for guests or estate caretakers. Outside, the grounds feature a pool overlooking the Hudson River, a pickleball court, and stunning views from the highest point of Greystone on Hudson – a gated community of 23 turn-of-the-century-inspired estates.

    Father Divine's legacy was complex, as he fought for desegregation and equality but also led a cult with followers who believed him to be God. The property has been reduced in price after being listed at $6.99 million last year, offering a unique opportunity to own a piece of American history.
