Live Next Door to the Whitney Museum in Manhattan’s $48M Atterbury Mansion

Published: June 24, 2017 | By: American Luxury Staff

If you’re house-hunting in Manhattan right now, and looking to spend in the middle eight figures, you may want to take a look at the Atterbury Mansion, which just re-entered the market at $48 million. Built by architect Grosvenor Atterbury for banker Julian Robbins and his wife Sarah, a railroad heiress, the residence is a townhouse dating to 1901, and located on the Upper East Side of the city.

The mansion is now incorporated into a luxury condominium complex, and there is an entrance via the complex as well as a private entrance. The façade of the original building is brick and limestone, and rendered in the colonial revival style.

The residence features a parlor level, 12’ ceilings, and has had a full renovation to appeal to the contemporary buyer; originally, the townhome’s interior living spaces included a neighboring unit, and measured some 17,000 square feet, but the home as it stands post-revision measures just under 11,000, with five bedrooms, five baths, and three half-baths throughout.

The home is now outfitted with a pair of elevators, one private to service the residence, and one public which originates in the condominium complex lobby. There are a total of nine homes in the complex, and the purchaser of the mansion will have full use of amenities.

Executed in the most exclusive materials, including French limestone and wide-plank white oak, the townhome’s interior spaces evoke a sense of scale unusual for a townhome; witness the living room, with floor-to-ceiling fanlight windows and built-in bookcases, and a marble fireplace with an incredibly ornate carved limestone surround.

The residence features polished plaster throughout, and fixtures and appliances are similarly high-end, with Danby Fleuri countertops and island cap and Miele dishwasher in the kitchen. A media room, library, and large family room fill out the common living spaces.

The building had been purchased by the Whitney Museum before it was purchased by a Russian billionaire and developed.
