Designed in the Neo-Classical style, the home features one of the firm's signature elements-ornate iron grille entry doors-which open to over 8,200 square feet of interior space across five floors and a fully finished lower level. The residence offers 16 rooms including seven bedrooms, six and a half bathrooms, nine fireplaces, and two private outdoor spaces. The entry level begins with a grand foyer featuring original oak wainscoting, detailed plastered ceilings and inlaid wood floors. This level also includes a den or home office, a rear bedroom with outdoor access, a kitchenette that could easily be converted to a laundry room, one full and one half bath, and a climate-controlled 1,400-bottle wine cellar. On the Parlor Level, 12-foot ceilings and a gracious central gallery set the stage for large-scale entertaining. Here, intricate original moldings frame each room, with detailed crown profiles, door and window casings, and base trim that reflect the home's historic craftsmanship. Both the formal living and dining rooms include fireplaces and are anchored by elegant architectural detail. The updated chefs kitchen is equipped with Thermador appliances, marble countertops, abundant cabinetry, a galley prep space, second dishwasher and sink, and a spacious, light-filled eat-in area that serves as the heart of the home. The third floor serves as the primary bedroom level. A front-facing sitting room with fireplace opens to the main bedroom, which includes a second fireplace, an oversized dressing area that could serve as a study, nursery, or closet, and an en-suite bath. The fourth floor offers two additional bedrooms, both with fireplaces, built-ins, and en-suite baths. The front room has an art deco flair while rear bedroom has built-ins, an en-suite bath and access to a private terrace. The fifth floor includes three bedrooms-one en-suite, two sharing a full bath-with natural light streaming down from a stained-glass skylight above the main staircase. The finished lower level houses a second temperature-controlled wine room, a laundry area, ample storage, and a flexible space currently used as a gym. Original hardwood flooring runs throughout, with inlaid wood designs on several levels. Perfectly located near Central Park, Madison Avenue shopping, top restaurants, cultural institutions, and multiple transportation options, this architecturally significant townhouse blends timeless detail with modern conveniences..

This home is asking $13,200,000, $700,000 below that median. The middle half of those sales closed between $7,537,500 and $20,115,000. - **Median closed price**: $13,900,000 - **Middle half**: $7,537,500 – $20,115,000 - **Based on**: 38 house sales in Lenox Hill - **Period**: October 2021 – August 2026 - **Median $/ft²**: $1,529/ft² Across the 36 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 89% of what it originally asked. 86% of them closed below the original ask. A house is not part of a building of comparable apartments, so this benchmark is drawn from house sales across Lenox Hill. Apartment sales are excluded from it entirely. ### How these sales were negotiated - **Sold vs original ask**: 89% of the original ask - **Closed below ask**: 86% of 36 sales - **Listed → in contract**: 244 days (about 35 weeks) - **In contract → closed**: 47 days (about 7 weeks) Across the 36 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 89% of what it originally asked. 86% of them closed below the original ask. Half of these homes were in contract within 244 days (about 35 weeks) of coming to market, based on the 36 with a recorded listing date. Once a deal was agreed, closing took a further 47 days (about 7 weeks), based on the 36 with both dates recorded. These are two separate periods measured on different clocks — time to find a buyer, and time from agreed deal to closing. They are medians of different sets of sales and do not add together into a single "days on market" figure. Based on 38 house sales in Lenox Hill, October 2021 – August 2026. Each figure counts only the sales that recorded the dates it needs, which is why the denominators differ. Sale prices are the consideration recorded with the City in ACRIS, and each sale is dated by the day the City recorded it. A closing date reported to the MLS typically falls one to two weeks earlier. Recorded sales describe what has already happened and are not an appraisal, a valuation, or an estimate of what this home will sell for.

We calculated the tax for those years using the prior year’s rate, so treat them as an estimate rather than a figure the City has adopted. Every rate without the Estimated marker is the published one. Tax Assessment is the assessed value on the City’s roll, and it is the figure other listing sites publish. It is not what the bill is calculated on. New York phases assessment changes in gradually for some tax classes, so the City bills the Billable Value shown beside it, less any exemption the owner holds. It usually trails the assessment, and it can sit above it for a few years after an assessment falls. Figures are the New York City Department of Finance assessment roll for tax lot 1013890133. Assessed and billable values are determined by the City for tax purposes and are not an appraisal or an estimate of market value. Tax classes and rates are set annually and can change.
