Manhattan's Woolworth Mansion Just Listed at $90 Million

---

The Woolworth Mansion off Fifth Avenue in Manhattan is now on the market for US $90 million, exclusive broker Paula Del Nunzio of Brown Harris Stevens announced.  The home is also available for rent at $165,000 per month.

The fully renovated, over 18,000-square-foot neo-French Renaissance mansion was built in 1916 by famed architect C.P.H. Gilbert for Frank Woolworth, the founder of the F.W. Woolworth Company.  The seven-level, 35-foot wide townhouse features a limestone façade, ceilings reaching over 14 feet, and elevator service to all levels.

The main level includes a central foyer opening to a grand entry hall with a massive fireplace, elegant powder room and access to a kitchen in the rear, as well as the wide landing of the grand master staircase.

The parlour floor begins with a front drawing room spanning 35 feet, with a huge fireplace and three floor-to-ceiling windows.  The center landing includes a large sitting room that connects the front drawing room to the deep formal dining room. With the capacity to seat over 50, the dining room features a large fireplace and a rear solarium ideal for breakfast. The adjacent kitchen includes a seating area and dumbwaiter to the service kitchen below.

The third floor has a 35 foot-wide wood-paneled library, wet bar and powder room. In the rear is a two-bedroom suite with two large full baths and ample closet space. The fourth floor master suite encompasses a grand bedroom, two sitting rooms, and two full baths with dressing rooms. The fifth floor has two large bedrooms with full baths and a gym.

The first five floors are capped by a brilliant leaded-glass opaque skylight positioned above the staircase that brings abundant light into the mansion.  The sixth floor is an additional level presently built out for a private office.  On the seventh floor is a two-bedroom staff suite with two full baths and a separate kitchen. The lowest level includes a suite of offices and outdoor space.

"While the other great mansions that have come on the market in New York have been shells requiring total renovation, this is the only formally available mansion that has been fully renovated in a traditional pre-war style. Never before could one acquire such a magnificent building in this condition - truly a rare opportunity that may not occur again," Del Nunzio states.
