The historic Elinor S. Gimbel House, a Civil War-era mansion in Manhattan's Upper East Side, is listed for $13.5 million after a price reduction from $18.45 million in 2018. At 6,157 square feet, the Italianate-style home features five bedrooms, four baths, and ample living space including a chef's kitchen and formal dining room. The property offers luxurious outdoor areas including a gated garden. Although some sources cite different construction dates, it stands as a landmark property with historical significance, highlighting its rich past and notable previous owners.
The stately, 36-foot-wide property stands at 163 E. 78th St. It was once home to Elinor S. Gimbel, who married a grandson of Adam Gimbel.
It was built in 1861, according to the city's Landmarks Preservation Commission and Friends of the Upper East Side, although the Sotheby's listing states the home was built in 1899.
The townhouse boasts both a gated front garden and an enchanting rear garden - with trees, plantings and brick walls - plus a parlor-level terrace.
The current owner purchased the home, known as the Elinor S. Gimbel House, back in 1997.
