Gambrel kept the 1796 home's original fireplaces while adding modern amenities such as a new kitchen and bathrooms, a media room and a wine cellar in the finished basement.
The .34-acre property also features a swimming pool on the grounds.
Arthur used the home as a summer retreat while serving as the 21st president of the United States from 1881 to 1885.
The Corcoran Group is co-listing the property with Douglas Elliman Real Estate.
