A Gilded Age mansion in Harlem has hit the market for $7.25 million, originally built by John Dwight, the founder of Arm & Hammer. This six-bedroom, five-bath home features nearly 10,000 square feet, designed to capture natural light from three sides—uncommon in New York. Despite its rich history and restoration efforts that earned a preservation award, the property has struggled to attract buyers over its 20-month listing. The meticulous renovations aimed to return the layout to its 1890s origins, demonstrating a respectful homage to its luxurious past.
It's amazing to think that Dwight financed it with his baking soda, Arm & Hammer.
They wanted to restore [the home] to what it originally was, when it was built in 1890.
The property epitomized the wealth and luxury that abounded during the Gilded Age.
The sellers focused on restoring the mechanical systems and returning the floor plan to its original state.
