A
stunning Gilded Age mansion is set to hit the market for $13.9 million, capitalizing on the current fascination with opulent homes from that era. The grand limestone residence at 57 E. 74th St. boasts a rich history and architectural significance.
Designed by noted architects Buchman and Deisler, this five-story home features an ornate iron grille door and was once owned by Broadway producer Joseph Cates. Built in 1898, the property has been meticulously preserved and now offers 8,200 square feet of luxurious living space.
The residence boasts seven bedrooms, six-and-a-half bathrooms, nine fireplaces, two terraces, and two wine cellars. The grand foyer features oak wainscoting, plastered ceilings, and inlaid wood floors, while the parlor level has 12-foot ceilings, detailed moldings, and a central gallery perfect for large-scale entertaining.
The home's current owner, who purchased it from Cates in 1990 for $3.4 million, is now listing the property with Joyce Sheena of Brown Harris Stevens. As the third season of HBO's "The Gilded Age" continues to captivate audiences, this rare and exquisite property offers a unique opportunity to own a piece of history.
