Eleanor Roosevelt, one of America's most famous First Ladies, once affectionately referred to her New York City home as her "new little apartment." But now, her beloved city dwelling is anything but little, comprising part of a 5,200-square-foot single-family townhouse, that is on the market for $18 million, according to 6sqft.com.
The five-story home still retains plenty of historical details, including gorgeous wood paneling, arched doorways, marble mantles and flooring, and six wood-burning fireplaces. Located in Manhattan's Treadwell Farm Historic District, the townhouse contains four bedrooms and five bathrooms, several entertaining spaces including a library, formal living room and wet bars, and a backyard garden complete with a stone fountain.
Don't let the history of the space or its classic detailing fool you, this five-story home has been completely modernized with a full-service elevator, multi-zone air conditioning, and an updated security system, all while retaining the grandeur of its past.
Take a tour of the stately home in the photos below.
