About this property
Renovated Limestone Mansion off Fifth Avenue by CPH Gilbert
The striking 26’-wide limestone mansion at 10 East 67 presents a rare opportunity to acquire an extraordinary Beaux-Arts townhouse off Fifth Avenue. Charles Pierrepont Henry Gilbert, one of New York’s most illustrious Gilded Age architects, was commissioned by renowned financier and art collector Jules S. Bache to craft an exquisite new mansion in 1897. Spanning 13,000 square feet over 7 levels and providing more than 1,500 square feet of outdoor space, this monumental estate offers every modern accommodation with room to spare. 10 East 67 was gut-renovated by star architect Peter Marino and provides 20 rooms, 8 bedrooms, 8 bathrooms, and an elevator to all 7 levels. Amongst this mansion’s offerings are a formal dining hall reconstructed from an English chapel with 16.5’ ceilings and gargoyles, and a glass penthouse on a sprawling rooftop terrace with an outdoor kitchen. This home features biometric security, private quarters for full-time staff, UV-Sterilized HVAC, and a separate service entrance. 10 East 67 is a prominent mansion moments from Central Park, built on the most valuable townhouse block in New York City.
Garden Level: Through 10-foot-tall wrought iron entrance gates, the marble-clad foyer welcomes with the crackle of a wood-burning fireplace and the sweeping expanse of a grand staircase. This level features a chef’s kitchen, informal dining room with a second fireplace, and access to the garden. A service stairwell ascends from the kitchen to the formal dining room, and a separate staff corridor leads to a service entrance.
Parlor Level: Ascending the curved staircase from the foyer, the full scale of the house is unveiled. Here there is an expansive landing, a library, and a formal living room bathed in northern light. With 12.5’ ceilings, this elegant room welcomes guests with a wood-burning fireplace, oversized bay windows, and ornate millwork. Through a discrete corridor in the south wing, the palatial formal dining hall is revealed impressively by its soaring 16.5’ ceilings and baronial fireplace. This opulent hall is ornamented elaborately with gargoyles, original details, rich oak paneling, and stained glass. The voluminous Tudor-style chapel was imported from England and recreated by CPH Gilbert to create a reverent space hidden within the mansion.
Third Level: The nearly full-floor primary suite exudes luxury with its lavish amenities, including a magnificent bedroom with splendid views of the limestone mansions across the street, a spacious bathroom adorned with marble, a custom-built designer dressing room, and bright views. The southern wing boasts another elegant bedroom with notably original details, a wood-burning fireplace, and large west-facing windows.
Fourth Level: An elegant library, surrounded with hand-carved oak bookcases and an ornate fireplace, offers a peaceful space for working, reading, and relaxing. The library also functions as the perfect executive office. Included are a full bathroom and additional closet space for a wardrobe, allowing for use as a bedroom. The library is flanked by two additional bedrooms, each boasting en-suite bathrooms and dressing rooms.
Fifth Level: From the massive skylight and glass penthouse, bright light is drawn into the stories below. High ceilings continue at over 10’. The fifth level features a gracious family room with a marble fireplace and tall glass doors leading to a comfortable northern terrace. The terrace presents a picturesque view of Central Park and adjacent mansions.
Just outside the family room is a kitchenette, spacious glass gym, and two more bedroom suites with full baths. Additionally, the southernmost bedroom features a sizable solarium.
Penthouse Level: Perched high above the street and centered on the vast 1,500 square foot terrace is the crown jewel of the property; a climate-controlled modernist glass and steel penthouse with an outdoor kitchen and powder room.
