Okay! Wow. $27 million. 27 million dollars!!! That’s right.
Built back in 1903, this Neo Federal style classic home in the 70’s on the upper east side boasts 10,000 square feet of interior space. Lots and lots of rooms and amenities too…a proper traditional house in the city with 11’ ceilings, 9 bedrooms, 9 baths, 3 powder rooms, a staff room, 8 fireplaces, 3 terraces, an elevator, an elegant garden, a graceful oval winding staircase, a Louis XV drawing room, Georgian library, 18th century fireplace mantels, and a 38’ kitchen with solarium. Whoa! What a list!!!!
Meanwhile, just for fun, let’s juxtapose this NYC city mansion’s list of features and highlights and descriptors with the list of amenities for my house. Here’s my home’s hypothetical list of features: a tiny house in the Hollywood Hills hills, with no proper backyard, a roof, someplace to sleep inside, a tiny kitchen, a deck, and a few rooms…the end. Needless to say, one of these homes is not like the other…right?
Anyhoooo…back to fantasy land…did I mention that this home is for sale? The price tag for this historic mansion is a mere $27 million. You have to love the real estate market in NYC!
So take a look and enjoy!
I actually like the grandeur of this one. I would change the pink stairwell to another more neutral color (light grey or white) and would definitely change up the furnishings of course…but the house itself is quite spectacular.
What do you think dear readers?
Happy Friday!

Thanks for posting this! Beautiful home… great bones, beautiful color palette and fabrics. My one complaint (am I allowed to complain about such a grand house) is that there seems to be this weird fascination among uber-wealthy homeowners with populating rooms with *way* too many chairs. It’s kind of insane. I’d be knocking into them left and right. Plus, makes the room feeling lonely when there’s only one or two people in there.
*… my fave space was the “study”… now THAT was “WELCOMING”, & looked like such a RELAXING space to chill!!!
Thanks!

Ummm, I was really chillin with the Pink stair well and black combo. When I was a young girl, a frend live in ‘the Bishop’s castle. I only remember the pink rooms and the square shaped black tub! Yup, pretty swanky for a bishop-don’t you think?
Thanks,

That staircase is awesome! The place makes me think of Fran & The Nanny.

This is as close as I will ever get to being invited into one of these homes.
the staircase reminds me of blair’s house in gossip girl!
This house was used as Meryl Streeps home in ‘The Devil Wears Prada’.
