Beautiful Upper East Side Fairytale Mansion Now $2M Less

November 11, 2014

The fairy tale of New York City is constantly unfolding, and this one-of-a-kind Upper East Side townhouse will surely set the scene for a romantic urban happily ever after. This home, originally built in 1893 by A. B. Ogden and Son, is located at 5 East 93rd Street, a stone’s throw away from 5th Avenue and Central Park. Within the last few years the entire property was completely restored, and the elaborate detailing that went into the design of this home is immaculate. The listing price for this property is $17.95 million—and yep, if you’ve been following, it’s dropped almost $2 million from its February listing price.

The home’s current owner is master floral designer Lynn Jawitz who originally purchased the property in 2002 for $4.25 million. That same year she embarked on an extensive facelift, restoring the marble columns, ornate molding and the detailed floor. When she put the house back on the market in 2011 it was listed at $24.5 million, but without a buyer that number has gradually been reduced over the years.

A new price tag of $17.95 million may be enough for a storybook ending for one lucky New Yorker.
