Introduction to a Life of Luxury

This exquisite Beaux Arts mansion, built in 1903 by the renowned architect John H. Duncan, is a masterpiece of luxury and sophistication. Located on one of Manhattan’s most elite residential blocks, this stunning property has been meticulously restored to its original glory by the world-class architect and designer William T. Georgis.

Grand Entry and First Floor

The grand entry features a massive carved mantel above a wood-burning fireplace and original malachite and mosaic floors that were uncovered and restored during the three-year top-to-bottom renovation. The kitchen is equipped with small bone cabinets, Carrara marble counters and backsplashes, a breakfast area, and a wood-burning fireplace. An office is connected to the kitchen by a butler’s pantry and provides access to the outdoor garden. A vestibule with custom closets and a powder room complete the first floor.

Second Floor: Formal Living and Dining

The sweeping marble staircase with decorative wrought iron and brass balustrades takes you up to the majestic gallery, which summons you into the formal living and dining room with soaring 5-meter ceilings. Solid mahogany pocket doors, decorative glass windows, skylights, and original brass and crystal hardware all play into the grandeur of the home. The wood-burning fireplace, quarter-sawn white oak flooring in Parquet de Versailles pattern, and floor-to-ceiling glass French doors in the living room create a grandiose space for entertaining.

Third Floor: Master Library and Quarters

The third floor features an impressive custom master library with custom millwork panels and shelving with leather panels. The man’s quarters, with a full bathroom and dressing room, feature lacquered mahogany millwork with bronze trim, creating the feel of an old-school gentleman’s club. The master suite with custom carpet by Georgis lives on the south end of the floor, connecting to her boudoir, which is appointed with a Waterworks bathtub, gas fireplace, heated floors, steam-proof mirrors, and a Biszet cosmetic refrigerator.

Additional Bedrooms and Amenities

The fourth and fifth floors offer additional bedrooms, including two with en-suite bathrooms and one currently used as a smoking room. The media room includes a full bar and a billiards room whose walls are covered in custom Hermès leather. Other notable features include:
