Rijetka prilika za posjedovanje jednog od posljednjih istinski izvanrednih, arhitektonski značajnih gradskih kuća u New Yorku. Bogata poviješću i karakterom, ova dragulj iz Gramercy Parka izdvaja se kao jedan od najpoznatijih privatnih rezidencija u zemlji.

Podrijetlo doma jedinstveno je kao i njegov dizajn. Prva izgrađena u Amsterdamu u 17. stoljeću od strane bogatih nizozemskih vlasnika, pažljivo je rasklopljena i otpremljena u Manhattan 1845. godine, prvotno pronalazeći dom na Upper West Sideu. Godine 1910. ponovno je premještena, ovaj put na svoju sadašnju lokaciju, gdje ju je ponovno oblikovao poznati engleski arhitekt Frederick J. Sterner. Naručena od strane šećernog magnata Josepha B. Thomasa, kuća je postala poznata kao Kuća Joseph B. Thomasa. Od tada je ostala zapanjujuće netaknuta, najnedavno u vlasništvu svjetski poznatog modnog dizajnera i filantropa. Desetljećima je bila domaćin ikoničnim zabavama i služila kao kreativni salon za neke od najutjecajnijih žena u društvu.

Eksterijer je dramatična izložba stilskog gotičkog revivalizma, s hrabrim vitražnim prozorima na svakom katu, složenim kamenim detaljima i karakterističnom, bajkovitom krovnom linijom. Masivna, rezbarena drvena vrata otvaraju se u gotovo 7.000 četvornih stopa raspoređenih na četiri kata plus mezanin, nudeći i veličanstvenost i osjećaj intimnosti.

Unutra, dom ostavlja trajan dojam od trenutka kada uđete u grandiozni ulazni hol, gdje klasični flamanski kamen postavlja ton. Glavna atrakcija je "Talijanska soba", kako ju je nazvao sam Sterner, prostor koji oduzima dah s kružnim stropom, bogatim gipsanim radovima, obloženim zidovima i monumentalnim kamenim kaminom. Solarium s staklenim krovom odmah iza njega ispunjava dom prirodnim svjetlom i zelenilom, oslonjen mirnim fontanom.

Ispod, podrum za vino i prostorija za degustaciju pružaju skrivenu, atmosferičnu oazu. Službena blagovaonica dočarava europsko seosko imanje, obložena toplim drvenim panelima; savršena za sve, od intimnih večera do raskošnog zabavljanja.

Na gornjem katu, trenutni raspored uključuje šest spavaćih soba i šest kupaonica, s obiljem prostora za preoblikovanje u luksuzne suite, garderobe ili smještaj za osoblje. Prekrasno rezbarene zavojite stepenice povezuju svaku razinu. Dodatne značajke uključuju kuhinju za kuhara, pripremnu kuhinju, praonicu, lift za hranu te formalne i uslužne stepenice.

Pažljivo izrađeni planovi renovacije dostupni su na uvid. Ovo je rijetka, jedinstvena prilika za posjedovanje doma s neusporedivom poviješću, arhitektonskom integritetom i transformativnim potencijalom.

Smještena u srcu poznate četvrti Gramercy Park, nalazite se samo trenutak udaljeni od najboljih restorana, trgovina i zabave koju Manhattan može ponuditi.

A rare chance to own one of New York City's last truly remarkable, architecturally significant townhouses. Rich with history and character, this Gramercy Park gem stands out as one of the most storied private residences in the country.

The home's origins are as unique as its design. First built in 17th-century Amsterdam by affluent Dutch owners, it was carefully dismantled and shipped to Manhattan in 1845, initially finding a home on the Upper West Side. In 1910, it was moved once again, this time to its current location, where it was reimagined by celebrated English architect Frederick J. Sterner. Commissioned by sugar magnate Joseph B. Thomas, the home became known as the Joseph B. Thomas House. Since then, it has remained strikingly intact, most recently owned by a world-famous fashion designer and philanthropist. For decades, it hosted iconic parties and served as a creative salon for some of society's most influential women.

The exterior is a dramatic showcase of Gothic Revival style, with bold stained-glass windows on every level, intricate stone detailing, and a distinctive, storybook roofline. Massive carved wooden doors open into nearly 7,000 square feet across four floors plus a mezzanine, offering both grandeur and a sense of intimacy.

Inside, the home makes a lasting impression from the moment you step into the grand entry foyer, where a classic Flemish stone floor sets the tone. The showpiece is the "Italian Room," as named by Sterner himself, an awe-inspiring space with a barrel-vaulted ceiling, ornate plasterwork, paneled walls, and a monumental stone fireplace. A glass-roofed solarium just beyond fills the home with natural light and greenery, anchored by a tranquil fountain.

Downstairs, a wine cellar and tasting room provide a hidden, atmospheric retreat. The formal dining room evokes a European country estate, wrapped in warm wood paneling; perfect for anything from intimate dinners to lavish entertaining.

Upstairs, the current layout includes six bedrooms and six bathrooms, with ample room to reconfigure into luxurious suites, dressing rooms, or staff quarters. A beautifully carved winding staircase connects each level. Additional features include a chef's kitchen, a prep kitchen, laundry center, dumbwaiter, and both formal and service staircases.

Thoughtfully crafted renovation plans are available for review. This is a rare, once-in-a-generation opportunity to own a home with unmatched history, architectural integrity, and transformative potential.

Located in the heart of the famed Gramercy Park neighborhood, you are just moments away from the best dining, shopping, and entertainment Manhattan has to offer.
