57 East 64th

Comprising approximately 14,000 total square feet on seven levels, this mansion was originally designed to have the kind of scale and ceiling height in entertaining rooms sought today to display an art collection of major scale. It is a special benefit that the original plan of the architect is largely intact, and details in the rooms throughout have been restored with attention to historical accuracy. The massive wrought iron double doors open to an entry hall which includes a huge manor fire place and extraordinary light. The wrought iron work in the sculptural staircase reflects the same designs that appear in the boisserie surrounding mirrors over fireplaces in the numerous grand rooms. The massive staircase culminates in a stunning skylight with leaded glass. The paneled dining room with a floor to ceiling fireplace and a wall of bowed floor to ceiling windows with leaded glass accented with colored glass shields evokes s a Chateau in the Loire Valley in France. The elevator accommodates six people.The house is perfectly located on the north side of what is generally considered to be the ?best street in the East 60s? for mansions of this type. The north side of the street allows far more light to pour into a building, given the way the sun travels across Manhattan, an extremely important factor for those who seek a mansion that is as light as possible.Most important of all, no other building by C.P.H. Gilbert is on the market at this time and it is unlikely that another will be available, which makes this mansion a very rare opportunity to acquire one of the best creations of one of the acknowledged stars of The Gilded Age.
