In the Oyster Bay Cove home of former Jets quarterback Vinny Testaverde, the grand staircase is part of the luxury mansions appeal. The home is expected to go back on the market in mid-May as Testaverde and his family move to Florida. It is a 13,000-square-foot brick center-hall Colonial sitting on 4-plus acres and has six bedrooms, seven full baths and two half-baths. The 1,000-square-foot master suite has a private balcony, sitting room and Jacuzzi. Asking price is expected to be $6.995 million. The house is listed with Shawn Elliott of Shawn Elliott Luxury Homes & Estates.
