The showstopping Upper East Side home of the late David Rockefeller just hit the market asking $32.5M with Brown Harris Stevens’ Mary K. Rutherfurd, Paula Del Nunzio and Leslie R. Coleman.
Built in 1924, this Colonial Revival townhouse was purchased by Peggy and David Rockefeller in 1948 and it is the home where they raised their 6 children. It spans 9,777 square feet across 4 levels and includes an additional 2,465-square-foot basement. Notable features include a 40-foot-wide planted garden, 8 fireplaces and an elevator that services all levels. When the Rockefellers moved in, they commissioned of-the-moment architect Mott Schmidt—whose previous projects included the homes of Vincent Astor, Anne Morgan (daughter of J.P. Morgan) and Mrs. W.K. Vanderbilt—to renovate the interiors in his signature Georgian style. The result, according to the listing, is a perfectly proportioned home with “every door opening at just the right height” and “intimate sitting rooms opening into sweeping formal spaces.”
