TOWNHOUSE experts Leslie J. Garfield & Co. are listing a one-of-a-kind Upper West Side townhouse for $14.25 million.Owned by hotel magnate Sam Domb, the five-story house at 318 West 81st Street (pictured top) , was built in 1898. After being used as a rental for several years, Domb had it gutted and turned into a single-family mansion.
Its grand trappings include “a baronial style grand entrance hall,ˮ rear garden, a Clarence True staircase and landings with pillars and arches as well as an elevator.
It has 13 rooms in all, including five bedrooms, a formal living room, dining room, media room, den and “double-deckerˮ terrace off of a fifth floor family room.
Richard Pretsfelder, partner at Leslie J. Garfield & Co. said, “This remarkable townhouse presents a real once in a lifetime opportunity to own a piece of the Upper West Side’s wonderful history.”
West 81st Street is a favorite of the rich and famous. The house is a neighbor of The Beresford, home to the likes of Jerry Seinfeld, Glenn Close and Diana Ross.
