The Beaux Arts-style mansion was built in 1901 and has only had three owners since then. You could be the fourth.
Located at 123 East 35th Street between Park and Lexington Avenues, the home was built by architectural firm Hoppin & Koen between 1901 and 1903. The structure is 33-feet wide—the size of two brownstone row houses—75-feet deep and 66-feet tall. It is instantly recognizable by its enclosed balcony with ornate cast-ironing railing, fluted Ionic pilasters, decorative window detailing and mansard roof with three copper-clad pedimented dormers.
In 1979, the home was designated by the NYC Landmarks Preservation Commission, which means there are few things that owners can change; it is also on the National Register of Historic Places as of 1982. Property records show that the home stayed within the Lanier family until 1984. Luckily, the current seller has been committed to retaining nearly every last feature from when it was built.
Perhaps one of the most jaw-dropping rooms is the living room, featuring green walls with gold leaf wainscoting, parquet floors and 12-foot ceilings. It allows plenty of natural light thanks to the south-facing French windows and is equally as perfect to host a cocktail party as it is to curl up in front of the antique fireplace with a book.
High ceilings, oak-paneled walls, carved stone fireplaces, gold leaf detailing and crystal chandeliers are just a part of the impeccableand architectural details found within the home, while the outdoor areas feature ivy-clad trellises, stone fountains and tranquil gardens. Most rooms are flooded with natural light thanks to large Palladian windows. Suitable for large parties and intimate soirées, the dining room hosts up to 16 people and overlooks the garden.
