Gloria Vanderbilt’s former townhouse drops to $10.29M


A Carnegie Hill townhouse that was once home to the late Gloria Vanderbilt is back on the market for $10.29 million.

The late-19th-century, ivy-covered brownstone at 67 E. 91st St. first hit the market for $11.99 million in 2022. 

The seller, photographer Priscilla Rattazzi, bought the 19-foot-wide spread from Vanderbilt — the late heiress, designer, artist and mother of CNN anchor Anderson Cooper — in 1995 for $2.99 million, via a trust.

The five-story home was built in 1891, designed by G.A. Schellenger. 

At 6,400 square feet, it comes with six bedrooms, 6½ bathrooms, four woodburning fireplaces, a curved central staircase — and an elevator.

Design details include a garden-level greenhouse where Vanderbilt’s painting studio — now a gallery space and an informal living room — once stood. 

The residence opens to a foyer that leads to a formal entrance gallery and a large, eat-in chef’s kitchen. There’s also an open living/dining area, hardwood floors, crown moldings and a small outdoor patio off the kitchen for al fresco dining.

The parlor level features a formal dining room with three oversize windows and a wood-paneled living room with 11-foot-high ceilings plus a library wall.

Upstairs, there’s a main bedroom suite with a windowed spa-like bath and a home office. Additional bedrooms are on the fourth floor, along with a glass solarium — and on the fifth floor, which also has another office.

The roof can be converted into an additional entertaining space. 

The listing brokers are Tania Isacoff Friedland, of Compass, and Jed Garfield of Leslie J. Garfield.
