Bank on it
BACK in the 19th century, this was J.P. Morgan’s (inset) carriage house. Now the 25-foot-wide Upper East Side home, built around 1907, is coming back to market for $27 million. The stately digs at 118 E. 83rd St. feature a hidden pool underneath the kitchen’s oak floor, so think twice before you host any late-night tequila parties. The pool formerly was a space used to hoist cars up for oil changes back when it was the Morgan’s carriage house, said the home’s seller, businessman Karan Trehan. “It was a giant pit,” Trehan said. “I expanded the pit and turned it into a pool, and put a skylight where the hoist was,” In 1995, Trehan, with his thenwife, bought the home from the Morgan family. Following Trehan’s divorce, he transformed the home into a sleek bachelor pad. It was once on the market as an $85,000-a-month rental in 2014. The fivestory home is 7,200 square feet and features five bedrooms and three bathrooms. The brokers are Jed Garfield, Caylyn Sulli’van and Lydia Rosengarten of Leslie J. Garfield.
