PRETHODNI DOM FAMILIJE GUCCI, CALVINA KLEINA I ITALIJANSKOG AMBASADORA PRI UN-u.

Izgrađena u sumraku Zlatnog doba, ulica 16 East 76th je lijepa neo-georgijanska kuća od crvene opeke i vapnenca iz 1902. godine koju su dizajnirali poznati arhitekti Hoppin & Koen za istaknutog odvjetnika Moncurea Robinsona. Nedavno je ovaj dom renoviran i zauzimao ga je modni mogul Calvin Klein, koji ga je prodao Republici Italiji da postane rezidencija njihovog ambasadora pri UN-u. Gospodin Klein je kupio ovaj dom od obitelji Gucci. Kuća se nalazi na jednom od najpoželjnih mjesta u gradu, nedaleko od Central Parka, unutar jednog bloka od hotela Carlyle i Mark te blizu svjetski poznatih restorana, trgovina i muzeja. Casa Tua, ekskluzivni privatni društveni klub, upravo je otvorena u nedavno obnovljenom hotelu Surrey, dvije vrata dalje.

Ovo je jedan od najfinijih stambenih blokova uz Petu aveniju, s 12 od 15 kuća u bloku (80%) koje su samostalne jedinice, četiri puta više od prosjeka. Ova nekretnina nudi jedinstvenu priliku za kupnju stambene kuće od 10,000 četvornih metara između Pete i Madison avenija za manje od 24,000,000 dolara.

Constructed in the twilight of the Gilded Age, 16 East 76th Street is a handsome 1902 brick and limestone neo-Georgian townhouse designed by renowned architects Hoppin & Koen for prominent lawyer Moncure Robinson. More recently this home was renovated and occupied by fashion mogul, Calvin Klein, who sold it to the Republic of Italy to be the residence for their Ambassador to the UN. Mr. Klein purchased this home from the Gucci family. The townhouse occupies one of the most coveted locations in the city, just off Central Park, within one block of the Carlyle and Mark Hotels and close to world-class restaurants, shopping and museums. Casa Tua, an exclusive private social club, just opened in the recently refurbished Surrey Hotel two doors away. The Children's Gate entrance to Central Park, conveniently located near a new playground, Alice in Wonderland statue and toy boat pond, is entered at 76th Street and Fifth Avenue. This is one of the finest townhouse blocks off Fifth Avenue with 12 of the 15 houses on the block (80%) being single unit, 4 times the average.
