About This Home

As of October 2025

The Jules Bache Mansion: A masterpiece of Gilded Age grandeur and modern luxury.

A rare jewel in Manhattan's architectural landscape, the Jules Bache Mansion embodies the pinnacle of Gilded Age opulence, seamlessly blended with contemporary refinement. Originally constructed in 1881, the mansion gained prominence in 1897 when it was purchased by Jules Bache, a renowned financier and art collector. Bache enlisted C.P.H. Gilbert, one of the most influential architects of the Gilded Age to undertake a transformation of the home.

From its stately limestone facade to its exquisite Beaux-Arts craftsmanship-featuring masterfully detailed moldings, intricate woodwork, and ornate carvings-every inch of this extraordinary residence is a testament to an era of unparalleled artistry. Spanning 7 levels and approximately 13,000 square feet this 26-foot wide mansion boasts 7 bedrooms, 13 bathrooms and soaring ceilings from 10 to 16 feet. At its heart, a stunning 600-square-foot living room with towering floor-to-ceiling bay windows radiates timeless elegance. This breathtaking space has played host to some of Manhattan's most illustrious gatherings, from an opulent wedding to world-renowned charity events.

While honoring its rich architectural heritage, this extraordinary residence has been masterfully reimagined to offer state-of-the-art luxury for modern living. A meticulous, down-to-the-studs renovation, completed fifteen years ago ensures that every element is in pristine condition. Thoughtfully integrated modern upgrades enhance the home's seamless functionality, including a full-service elevator that provides access from the lower level to the newly designed rooftop oasis. Plus, every historical detail has been carefully preserved and restored including the 7 working wood burning fireplaces and the breathtaking dining hall, reconstructed from an English chapel brought over by Gilbert. The renovation strikes the perfect balance between Old World grandeur and contemporary sophistication.

Crowning this architectural marvel is an extraordinary 1,700-square-foot rooftop oasis-an urban retreat unlike any other. Designed for entertaining, it features expansive north and south terraces, a glass - enclosed atrium, with heat and air conditioning, a fully equipped outdoor kitchen, lighting, irrigation, a half bath, and direct elevator access.

Ideally situated just half a block from Central Park, this impeccably maintained residence offers an unparalleled blend of history and modern refinement. A rare opportunity to own a true architectural landmark, the Jules Bache Mansion is available for $44,950,000.
