A distinguished Beaux-Arts limestone mansion has hit the market on Manhattan's Upper East Side for $39.5 million.
Designed in 1901 by architect John H. Duncan, this Gilded Age masterpiece spans approximately 18,000 square feet, offering a blend of historic charm and grandeur.
The residence at 15 East 63rd Street features seven bedrooms, eight full bathrooms, and four half-baths. Many original architectural details have been meticulously preserved, including a stunning marble staircase, intricate coffered ceilings, and ornate period moldings.
The parlor floor is particularly striking, with its soaring 16'9" ceilings and a magnificent library adorned with Palladian French windows. A double-height sitting room, complete with a dramatic Palladian window, further enhances the sense of grandeur.
The layout includes a grand entrance gallery, an elegant oval dining room, and multiple sitting rooms. The upper floors are dedicated to expansive bedrooms, each with ensuite baths and private sitting areas, offering a luxurious retreat within the home.
Listed with Sami Hassoumi, the home is situated just off Fifth Avenue's prestigious Gold Coast, in close proximity to designer boutiques, world-class museums, and Central Park.
