The exotic pearl of the week | A New York Golden Age mansion

We scour real estate sales sites around the world to find properties that arouse curiosity or conducive to daydreaming.


It’s an exceptional home: a seven-story, Beaux-Arts style mansion with sweeping views of the Hudson River on New York’s Upper West Side.

Recently renovated, the property is attractive with its 12 to 14 ft ceilings and its many decorative jewels. Tiffany and La Farge stained glass windows, a Mueller tile fireplace, original coffered cork ceilings, Jacobean style paneling complete the stunning décor.

With eight bedrooms, ten bathrooms, three kitchens, an elevator, a gym, a wine cellar, and even quarters for the domestic staff, the mansion has enough to satisfy the most discerning buyers.

The New York palace even offers verdant views. Pear trees and exotic plants from the outdoor garden color the rooms on the main level. The upper floors have a view of the canopy of Riverside Park, located in front of the property.

The highlight of the show is on the top floor. A skylight provides a 180 degree view of New York City and the New Jersey shoreline. Notice to fans of social evenings: a terrace adjoins the whole and can accommodate a hundred people.
