The Vanderbilts? Historic Manhattan Mansion
Manhattan’s Upper East Side has long been synonymous with wealth and affluence, making the concept of an 18,504 square foot home seem extravagant—even to the wealthy. With a staggering price tag of $50 million, as reported by Mansion Global, the mansion’s listing turned heads, though the price was later reduced by $10 million.
Originally developed by Robert B. Lynd before the dawn of the 20th century, this mansion stands in what has become one of the world’s most iconic neighborhoods. The Vanderbilt family, known as one of America’s wealthiest clans, made this lavish residence their home in 1924. It’s here that Gloria Vanderbilt spent much of her childhood.

The mansion features a striking façade with four rows of three large, rectangular windows, creating an impressive street view. This photograph captures only a glimpse of the seven-story structure, showcasing just a fraction of its twelve grand windows, which add to the home’s allure.
Located on East 72nd Street, the property sits just a block from Central Park, nestled amidst the vibrant artistic and fashion scene of the city. With 18,000 square feet of historic space, the grandeur of this mansion might overshadow nearby landmarks.
