NOUVEAU ARRIVAL
A showstopper villa used in Netflix show “Maniac”, which stars Hollywood royalty Emma Stone, Jonah Hill and Justin Theroux, is our pick of the month!
A property that will make you salivate
OOne of the first modernist townhouses in Manhattan, this iconic property is rich with history, sophistication and postmodern elegance. Sherman M. Fairchild, a noted inventor and businessman, hired the architects William Hamby and George Nelson to create a home as adventurous as he was. They succeeded and the townhouse remains an architectural tour de force unlike any other in New York.
The building’s red granite façade was completed in 1981 and hints at the wonders inside. The 9,440 sqft, 25 ft wide mansion is defined by a three-story great room, with a span of travertine walls illuminated from a glass and steel skylight. A zigzagging system of ramps facilitates the movement through the light-filled home. The result is an airy alternative to a traditional townhouse and the perfect setting for a worldclass art collection.
The home includes a chef ’s kitchen, formal dining room, five bedrooms, six full bathrooms, two half bathrooms and a study/library. The master suite features two full bathrooms, floor to ceiling windows and a balcony overlooking 65th Street. An office, wine cellar, four additional bedrooms – one with a loft aerie infused with natural light – completes this one of a kind offering.
This villa/townhouse is listed on the Christie’s International Real Estate website and it boasts 9,440 sqft of interior space. The townhouse is located on the Upper East Side, between Fifth and Madison Avenues with Central Park and Museum Mile at the doorstep. Nearby neighborhoods include: Midtown East, Turtle Bay, Theater District, Midtown, Rockefeller Center, Seaview Village, Central Park South, Midtown Center, Lenox Hill, Sutton Park, Sutton Place and Upper East Side.
