About This Home

As of May 2025

The West Penthouse of the Gainsborough was reimagined and modernized in 2013 under the direction of renowned architectural firm Hoedemaker Pfeiffer. The result is a one-of-a-kind tribute to the legacy of our city. With sweeping western views, the brilliantly defined living areas are punctuated by arched windows, glimmering lights, pristine hardwoods, & a veranda that feels like a moment in Manhattan. The primary suite offers a sensible separation of the sleeping quarters across from an elegant bath, next to a detached walk-in closet and custom cabinetry. Secure covered parking, carefully manicured gardens, and an on-site manager who ensures the building and resident needs are met. Here, history and modernity dance together in synchronicity.
