Nobody wants to buy 'Versailles in Manhattan,' an Upper East Side townhouse that has been on and off the market for 17 years — and it just got another price cut. Take a look inside.
there were a few reasons buyers probably aren't biting: The square footage is a bit misleading since it includes the finished basement, the property may have gained a bad reputation after sitting on the market for so long, and its gorgeous Versailles-inspired interiors, which came to life after Laub renovated the townhouse, may be a bit old-fashioned for the contemporary buyer.
Keep scrolling for an inside look at the extravagant townhouse through photos from the property's 2018 listing with Douglas Elliman. The Versailles-inspired townhouse covers about 6,700 square feet across four stories. Counting the finished basement with inlaid marble and wood flooring and a window, it's roughly 8,000 square feet. It was built in 1872 by the architect John G. Prague "in neo-Georgian style with an exterior facade of raked limestone and red clay brick."
