Originally built by Frank Woolworth between 1910 and 1916 as a mansion for his daughter and husband, Franklyn and Edna Laws Hutton, it is now home to three luxurious apartments. This one, 2A, comprises the best, most elegant and grandest rooms of the 25 foot wide mansion. Reminiscent of Gilbert’s French Renaissance style, the 5-story mansion apartment features an opulent entrance hall and sweeping staircase to the grand scale parlor floor consisting of the living room, dining room and kitchen. The 3rd floor features a beautiful paneled library, media room and dramatic guest room with windows on 3 sides. The master bedroom on the fourth floor overlooks magnificent mansions. There is an additional bedroom on this floor. On the fifth floor is another bedroom, a family room or bedroom, and kitchen. With 12 foot ceilings, 6 fireplaces, and just steps to Central Park, it’s the perfect residence for those looking for the grandest of homes at a fraction of the cost of a single family mansion. |
