37’ x 95’ Built full depth DESCRIPTION
This expansive view of the Hudson River from a mansion-scale townhouse is completely unique. It is as close as a Manhattanite can come to living in a European castle. The gorgeously carved French Renaissance Revival limestone façade, with its ornate ornamentation including gargoyles, scallop shells and cherubs, is just the beginning. The stunning details and scope of this riverfront home have to be seen to be believed. Once inside, you will be awestruck by the thirty-seven feet of panoramic river views, exquisite moldings, coffered ceilings, marble fireplaces, multiple outdoor spaces, radiant light from the front and rear bay windows, and more. With soaring ceilings and width you won’t find in any other Manhattan townhouse, this is the perfect home for an art aficionado with contemporary pieces that simply won’t fit in any other home. Make this modern-day castle your artistic sanctuary. This elevator townhouse also offers a perfect view of the Eleanor Roosevelt Monument, which celebrates her work as a humanitarian and activist. It was dedicated in 1996 in the presence of then-First Lady of the United States Hillary Rodham Clinton. L AY O U T
Garden Level: The attention to detail starts the minute you enter. Two sets of wood and glass double doors are graced by the green and golden onyx tile and gilded ceiling in the vestibule. An arched alcove as you emerge from the vestibule is a lovely touch, a perfect place for a vase of fresh flowers. Enter the grand, sweeping marble foyer through an elaborately carved white and glass square

37’ x 95’ Built full depth archway. You are greeted by a golden coffered ceiling, original white mosaic tile, marble paneling, and a striking white marble staircase. A coat closet and golden-yellow half bath can be accessed from this foyer, as can the elevator. To the front of the foyer is an enchanting and sunny room with four-panel bay windows, an emerald green marble and oak fireplace with original ceramic tiles, white molding with gold accents, a kitchenette with a wet bar and Miele two-burner stove, and a full bath with gray-pink marble tile. The commodious rear room on this floor and its full bath use more of this gray-pink tile, with ample rear windows looking onto the garden. This room is spacious enough to use as an atelier or perhaps a home office with room for several employees. From this room, you’ll access a tidily landscaped garden with exposed brick and bamboo—use this space for an afternoon lunch with friends. Parlour Floor: The grand marble staircase, fit for an embassy, leads to the entertaining floor. As you reach the landing, take note of the medallion and ornamentation on the ceiling over the crystal chandelier and the underside of the stairs. You’ll also notice that the stairs change on this level from white marble to an incredibly rare Brazilian cherry wood called Jatoba. The sculpted mahogany square archway that leads you into this floor features round mirrors that call nautical windows to mind, as well as two full-length mirrors. In the sunny, lightflooded front room, perfect for use as a living room or library, notice the unique cyan fireplace with faces carved into the legs; the mirrored overmantel reaches all the way up to the towering ceiling. The white and gold molding, yellow walls, beige marble tile, and Tuscan-inspired mahogany columns in the corners combine for an effect of sophistication and warmth. Look out the four-panel bay windows and take in the gorgeous view of Riverside Park and the Hudson. Sliding mahogany doors lead to a side room with golden wallpaper and intricate rose gold

37’ x 95’ Built full depth molding. From here, you’ll access a tiled private terrace, perfect for enjoying a cup of coffee or lemonade on a late Sunday morning, watching the light as it changes on Eleanor’s statue. This side room also leads you to the grand dining room in the rear, where shimmering cyan walls nicely balance the seven-foot high mahogany paneling and cabinetry. Three-panel bay windows and a green onyx and mahogany fireplace add to the elegance. Beyond the dining room, a state-of-the-art kitchen rests at the rear of this floor. The stainless steel appliances, cobalt blue surfaces, and exposed brick walls create a marriage of modernity and rustic appeal. Appliances here include a Sub-Zero refrigerator, two Bosch dishwashers, and a Wolf range. Third Floor: You’ll notice another crystal chandelier on this landing, flanked by two full-length mirrors. The front room on this level is currently used as a play room/den. With its unique octagonal coffered ceiling, four-panel bay windows, hardwood floors, and original black marble fireplace, this is a fantastic common space. The elaborately carved mahogany doorways are another lovely touch, and the bay windows afford fantastic views of the park and river. Past a comfortable lounge, you’ll find the master bedroom, graced by a peach-colored marble fireplace with mirror, ornamented doors, and a hallway with wall-to-wall closets. The elegant master bathroom will dazzle you: there’s a Jacuzzi tub, a glass shower with eight showerheads, a bidet, and an enormous walk-in closet with a crystal chandelier, a ceilingheight mirror, and floor-to-ceiling clothing storage. Fourth Floor: The front bedroom on this floor, in addition to its gray granite fireplace with mirror, is also distinguished by a glass door leading to a Juliet balcony that wraps around the front

37’ x 95’ Built full depth and side of the building. This balcony affords stunning views of the Hudson beyond Riverside Park. The middle bedroom has a walk-in closet and a pale green tiled bathroom with bidet. Of the two rear rooms on this floor, one leads to a terrace overlooking the garden; the other has two bow windows, a cream-colored fireplace with mirror, a gray-pink marble tiled full bath, and a walk-in closet. Fifth Floor: The first thing you’ll notice is the huge frosted skylight overlooking the staircase. In the front bedroom, enjoy the exquisite river views, the gold tiled fireplace, the exposed brick, the high cathedral ceiling, and the gray marble tile bath. The middle room, perfect for a studio or office, features its own skylight and ample shelving and closets. And in the rear, two rooms share a coral-colored full bathroom and a kitchenette with a wet bar, Miele stove, and plenty of cabinetry. One of these rooms has a walk-in closet. Basement: This fully finished basement contains an exercise room, an indoor pool, a sauna, a full bath, mechanicals, and a laundry room.
This townhouse was highlighted in a special Wall Street Journal article on September 25, 2015.
