I checked out the Brownstoner post and it’s true. They are selling the mansion for $8.5 million and moving to a penthouse on West Street in Tribeca.
This is the listing from Sotheby’s: Here is an opportunity to own one of
the all time great houses of New York built at the turn of the century.
Located on a corner lot directly across from Prospect Park, sunlight
fills the grandly proportioned rooms all day long through oversized
windows. All of the original wood carving surrounding the windows and
mantels as well as the elaborate plaster work on the ceilings remains
in tact and in perfect condition.There are fireplaces in all of the
public rooms (living, dining and kitchen) as well as in 3 of the 4
master bedrooms.There is a full servant’s quarters on the top floor
consisting of 4 small bedrooms, a full bath and a large storage
room.The original stained and leaded windows exist in the baths and in
the large skylight at the top of the grand staircase.Central
air-conditioning has been added and there is a large, fully landscaped
garden at the rear of the house which is gated and private. This
property is simply outstanding in every way.
