Listing Description:
Introducing "The River Mansion," an opulent Beaux-Arts brick and limestone mansard mansion located in the historic Riverside Drive-West 105th Street District. Built from 1899-1902 by renowned architect Robert D. Kohn, this stunning five-story property spanning 10,000 sqft boasts a grand foyer, parlor, library, wine room, wine cellar, media room, two kitchens with a service kitchen, dining room, roof deck, and elevator. The home features seven wood-burning fireplaces throughout.
With five spacious bedrooms, five bathrooms, and two half-baths, this exquisite home is the epitome of grand elegance and sophistication. The primary fa ade features a beautiful blend of dark red brick and limestone and spans both West 106th Street and Riverside Drive.
Inside, you will find brand new, high end, finishes, and materials, including JennAir luxury appliances, which are sustainably produced. This immaculate property is also the site of the 48th Annual New York City Kips Bay Decorator Show House, a testament to its exceptional beauty and prestige.
The River Mansion is truly a work of art, with its three bays of windows on Riverside Drive with views of the Hudson River and three widely spaced bays on West 106th Street. The primary entrance is flanked by elaborately carved, banded columns inspired by late 16th century French architecture, and a strong horizontal band-course forms the top of the stone English basement, which is thus set off as a podium. In the two outer bays, tall arched limestone frames rise from the podium and enclose the second and third-floor windows.
The roof deck spans 2000 sqft and offers unparalleled views of the Hudson River.

It’s so disgustingly obvious the designers’ primary concern was making sure their own, personal tastes/aesthetics were blindingly highlighted in every corner of this mansion, and thus completely erasing the original, classical beauty this home boasted for over 100 years. They didn’t give one shit about actually turning this relic into something truly amazing, while respecting and highlighting its past; they only cared about pushing their own creative agendas. “Creative” being extremely subjective; nearly every room besides that foyer and the kitchen, in my opinion, is absolutely hideous and unliveable.

It’s pure hubris on the part of the designers, who wanted to leave their imprint on a lovely, Guilded Age mansion ...as though the design aesthetic of the era wasn’t worthy of retaining in large measure. There is a way to introduce modernity into traditional spaces which marries the two in an inspirational manner. Unfortunately these designers fell flat on their faces.

The panda fireplace has to go. The wallpaper and the artwork in practically every floor have to go- especially the screaming child. The "cotton candy" theme in the master bedroom and closet is a total gut job. The library is a gut job as well. Outstanding features are the service kitchen, the main kitchen, the laundry room, and the master bathroom. In fact, all the bathrooms are fine. The small rooms are fine as well. Even though the security features, the elevator, and the amount of space are excellent, not enough of the décor is palatable enough to justify such an enormous asking price. To make it livable, one would have to spend probably $5-8 million to cart away all the hideousness and bring in gracious living. When you see the beautiful, stately outside of the building, it is so disappointing to have your expectations of the mansion's interior so completely dashed. It would be amazing to see an old building treated with respect, with lovely, quality furniture and décor.

Having seen other homes that have been decorated by various designers, either for charity or publicity, I cannot believe how badly this has been done. It looks like a final year project for design students. I imagine that the rather surprisingly low price reflects the amount of money required to create a home. There were some items that I would have kept, the silver wallpaper, the oriental screen, the black bath, and the shower for example, but generally, I would have got rid of most of it. Thankfully, beneath the gaudy, tart's boudoir decorations, the bones of a beautiful house remained. Good taste, and a lot of money would create a truly gorgeous home. A very strange place to put the kitchen though.

This place screams classless, nouveau riche "style". It's an absolute travesty what those people did to this place, so have the gall to turn around and ask $24m for it is nigh unbelievable

it's impossible to appreciate the house due to the designers going absolutely bonkers. they've literally devalued the property. once all the staging is removed, what is a buyer going to do with it? they'll have to spend a few mil to rip out the surfaces and start over. it's a shame.

Love the video - a part of NY that doesn't get the love it deserves. Eric says "STAGED" not designed so you spend $24 million on the place they hire one of the designers who's room you liked - or bring in your own then furnish and design it. Correct me if I'm wrong but you don't get the anything you see with the price - unless you pay separately for it. Then do the roof if you want. With the roof final move in price is more like $30 million to pick a price from the air.

The “Cotton Candy” bedroom is HIDEOUS!!!!! This is a “Guilded AGE” mansion, not a guilded mansion!!😂😂😂😂 Not a bad price at all!! Nice location, great looking exterior!! Selling a totally decorated home isn’t easy and the primary bedroom would absolutely have to be gutted. While some of the design of the primary suite are still very nice, the theme and the plastic bed are just too much and a distraction from the room’s architectural elements. But the space is inviting with the top floor devoted to an owner’s suite! Too bad the roof wasn’t done as the amount of detail for the interior which is reflected in the price, a rooftop terrace could have been a definite plus! 😮

The photograph is by artist Jill Greenberg, she has a full set of crying kids. They're pretty affordable though, auction records show them going for only 2k-3k USD, even in a large size like that. She's also know for photographing portraits of animals, ones with very expressive faces as well.

Nice bones but some of the eclectic interior designs were too kitsch for me. Also I don't prefer that each room has its own interior design style. It would feel more 'acceptable' or palatable if at least some of the color and design schemes complemented or flowed into the adjacent rooms. It just started to get too busy. But the structure itself is nice. I like the wide staircases and the wood banisters.

I appreciate the tour, but really would have loved to have seen it in its original state. That was a hippo fireplace/log holder in the first room - because that’s a design statement that needed to be made ....somewhere else. The second floor looked like various waiting areas for high-end hair salons/spas -very commercial. I can’t imagine why someone thought that aesthetic is appropriate for a home ...unless they’re vying for the business clientele. I appreciate that this was all done to raise money for charity, but it would have been nice if the designers had brought their A Game. People would still have paid to come see it - and maybe actually walked away feeling like they’d experienced something special rather than something chaotic. 🤷🏻‍♀️

By looking at the neighborhood, and the mansion itself, I would assume that it is probably worth much more than $24 million. However, in the current state, they will probably have trouble getting that much for it. I agree with the others, whoever took this breathtaking Gilded Age Mansion and did this to it, had more money than sense. So much of the original beauty has been lost forever. If it was not, this mansion would probably sell for closer to $100 million.

However, my flowers will be white, yellow, orange & pink daisies. This mural also lso makes me think of Barbara Streisand's bedroom wallpaper in "On a Clear Day, You Can See Forever". I saw it as a kid in 1970 and I STILL want that wallpaper for my own bedroom!
