A 15,000 square foot mansion has hit the market – and The Real Deal reports it will set a new record for most expensive single-family home sold in Manhattan if it gets its asking price of $80 million.
The Stanford White Mansion at 973 Fifth Avenue (79th Street) has been listed by former Goldman Sachs partner David Leuschen. It was originally built for Henry Cook and is part of the “Cook Block” – the only street on the UES where no high-rise will ever be allowed, the listing states.
