<p><span>THE JULES BACHE MANSION<br><br>Renovated Limestone Mansion off Fifth Avenue by CPH Gilbert<br><br>The striking 26'-wide limestone mansion at 10 East 67 presents a rare opportunity to acquire an extraordinary Beaux-Arts townhouse off Fifth Avenue. Charles Pierrepont Henry Gilbert, one of New York's most illustrious Gilded Age architects, was commissioned in 1897 by renowned financier and art collector Jules S. Bache to craft an exquisite new mansion. Spanning 13,000 square feet over 7 levels and providing more than 1,500 square feet of outdoor space, this monumental estate offers every modern accommodation with room to spare. 10 East 67 was gut-renovated by star architect Peter Marino, and provides 20 rooms, 8 bedrooms, 8 bathrooms, and an elevator servicing all 7 levels. This mansion has countless distinguished attributes, amongst them a formal dining hall reconstructed from an English chapel with soaring 16.5" ceilings, gargoyles, and stained glass. Additionally, perched atop the seventh level is an all-glass penthouse on a sprawling rooftop terrace with an outdoor kitchen and powder room. This home features state-of-the-art biometric security with private quarters for full-time staff, UV-Sterilized HVAC, and a separate service entrance. 10 East 67 is a prominent mansion, moments from Central Park, built on the most valuable townhouse block in New York City.<br><br></span></p><p><span></span></p><p><span>Garden Level: </span><span>10-foot-tall wrought iron entrance gates swing open, unveiling an ornate bow-front limestone facade and massive double doors centered on the property.
