I think we all agree this is truly a Magnificent estate designed in the neo French style and what's more amazing is the story behind this residence.  It was built in 1965 by Paul Mellon for his wife Bunny Mellon.  Paul Mellon was an avid art collector and American philanthropist.  His wife Bunny Mellon was friends with Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and designed the White House Rose Garden.  Featured in The World of Interiors, this 40' wide townhouse was designed to maximize the views with 3 exposures making it a rarity in New York.  To read more on the fascinating history behind this house and the Mellon's visit The Real Estalker here.  Hope you enjoy the views inside this New Yorker.
