On the market for a grandiose $50 million, it’s no surprise that heiress and fashion icon Gloria Vanderbilt was reported to have once lived in this stunning townhouse. Otherwise known as the Vanderbilt Mansion, this Manhattan property is spread out on even floors of 18,504-square-feet of interior space.Only left with a shell of the past, the townhouse has been recently renovated and restored with a collection of custom, high-end quality pieces from all around the world, thanks to the past homeowners. The home is filled with beautiful design and architectural features such as 11-foot-plus ceilings, three gas fireplaces, and two elevators. The kitchen includes limestone floors, Calacatta marble slab counters, marble-tiled walls and backsplashes. The cabinetry had been custom made for the kitchen with top-of-the-line appliances, as well. The bathrooms’ floors, walls, and vanities are also bathed in Calacatta and Blue de Savoie marble. There is also a rooftop terrace, which expands to approximately 1,5000-square-feet of outdoor space. For buyers in need of less living space than what the property is granted with, the townhouse can be set up as three separate units. The four-bedroom penthouse sits on the top three floors, above what could potentially be the rental property or separate guest and staff quarters. In total, the new owner will have 12 bedrooms, 11 full bathrooms, and three powder rooms.Even beyond the bonus of completed gutted, fresh interiors, the property is conveniently located a block away from Central Park and it is set on a double-width street.Mansion Global first reported on the exceptional townhouse; Lauren Muss of Douglas Elliman holds the listing.
