arolyne Roehm, author, entrepreneur, and celebrated hostess, is again marketing her Manhattan duplex at 322 E. 57th St., Sutton Place. The 3‑bedroom co‑op, once listed for $6.15 M last May, now re‑appears at $5.49 M under Coldwell Banker Warburg’s Charles Holmes and Evita LaSasso. The residence exudes old‑world luxury: coffered ceilings, stately columns, fabric‑paneled walls, and soaring height. The centerpiece is a grand living room with an 18‑foot coffered ceiling, 12‑foot casement windows, and decorative pilasters that bathe the space in natural light. A limestone staircase and a private elevator link the two levels. The second floor houses three bedrooms, a paneled den, a home office, and a primary suite adorned with floral‑coordinated carpet and a spa‑like ensuite. Hidden pocket doors lead to a butler’s pantry, a windowed kitchen, and a wood‑paneled library reminiscent of a humidor. Roehm, 74, acquired the property in 2004 after her divorce from private‑equity magnate Henry Kravis, citing its “European proportions” as perfect for her art collection. A former socialite and muse to Oscar de la Renta, she has published numerous coffee‑table books on art, design, and entertaining. The building, erected in 1929 as an artist studio, now hosts the upscale Chinese restaurant Mr Chow on its ground floor. Roehm’s listing showcases a blend of historic elegance and contemporary comfort, appealing to discerning buyers seeking a prestigious Manhattan home.
