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

Izgrađena u sumraku Zlatnog doba, 16 East 76th Street je lijepa neoklasicistička kuća od opeke i krečnjaka iz 1902. godine koju su dizajnirali poznati arhitekti Hoppin & Koen za istaknutog odvjetnika Moncurea Robinsona. Nedavno je ovaj dom renoviran i nastanjen od strane modnog mogula Calvina Kleina, koji ga je prodao Republici Italiji kako bi služio kao rezidencija za njihovog ambasadora pri UN-u. G. Klein je kupio ovaj dom od drugog poznatog imena u modi: Guccija. Kuća se nalazi na jednoj od najtraženijih lokacija u gradu, neposredno uz Central Park, unutar jednog uličnog bloka od hotela Carlyle i Mark, kao i blizu restorana, shoppinga i muzeja svjetske klase.

Ova nekretnina pruža jedinstvenu priliku za kupnju kuće od 10,000 četvornih metara između Pete i Madison Avenija za manje od 24,000,000 dolara.
