Developed by Don Alonzo Cushman and built for the estate of John N. Smith, this 5-story 1835 mansion between 9th and 10th Avenues, has been meticulously restored. Situated directly across from the picturesque Episcopal Seminary gardens, and on a block with the last remaining row of continuous Greek Revivals in New York City, it is truly one of Manhattan's rarest finds.

The mansion is 25 and a half feet wide, 87 feet deep and was built on a 110-foot lot. Original chandeliers, Czechoslovakian crystal dating from 1830, hang from the ballroom and family room ceilings. The building also has a beautiful south garden and south facing terraces from every floor.

21st century amenities -- such as a large elevator that can fit 4 to 5 people and video security with armed guard backup by DGA Security Systems, Inc. -- have been seamlessly integrated into the home. In addition, every room has a floating wall and floor system buffered with three layers of state-of-the-art insulation called QuietRock (a technology from Quiet Solution). Top-of-the-line appliances include Miele dishwashers, Liebherr refrigerators and stoves and wine coolers by Viking. The building also offers the services of a house butler.
