Join George Vanderploeg for a tour of a remarkable limestone mansion on the Upper East Side, which was built in 1899 and designed by the renowned architect C.P.H. Gilbert. Standing 26 feet wide and spanning 13,000 square feet over seven levels, this residence offers the ideal blend of grandeur and timeless elegance.

As you enter, you're immediately greeted by an expansive entrance hall featuring a cast iron staircase, marble fireplace, and an overall sense of space ideal for hosting large gatherings. Moving through the garden level, you’ll find a cozy seating area around a wood-burning fireplace, casual dining area, and professional kitchen — all crafted with careful attention to detail. The kitchen boasts marble countertops, white subway tiles, and top-of-the-line appliances, alongside a generous pantry for convenience.

The parlor floor is where the home truly shines, with a living room, dining room, and library. The living room features four large windows that flood the space with natural light, highlighting the 14-foot ceilings, original crown moldings, and a striking wood-burning fireplace. It’s a step back into the Gilded Age. The library, tucked at the back of the house, is a peaceful retreat, with original mahogany pocket doors adding a touch of vintage luxury. Additionally, the dining room, with its carved oak paneling and Victorian stone fireplace, offers a distinctly English charm, perfectly suited for intimate dinners or family gatherings.

On the third floor, the primary suite occupies nearly the entire level, with a curved facade that allows light to pour through expansive windows. The space includes a luxurious bathroom with a soaking tub, and a 300-square-foot dressing room that completes the floor. The room also features Italian Renaissance-style marble mantels, adding further sophisticated to this already breathtaking historical property.

As for the crown jewel? A sunny roof garden with a glass dining pavilion and outdoor fireplace — an ideal spot to entertain or relax after a long day.
