Iconic “Urban Retreat”

Architect Paul Rudolph, in the 1960’s, transformed this 19th century carriage house into a four story home which is located in Manhattan’s Upper East Side in New York city, USA.

According to Architectural Digest, the residence, “commissioned by a real-estate lawyer, was later sold to fashion designer Halston, who used the living room to host bacchanals for his famous friends.

Its most recent owner, the late German-born industrialist and photographer Gunter Sachs, replace the wall-to-wall carpeting with white-oak floors and added balustrades on the precarious mezzanine and catwalk.

The rudolph scheme otherwise remains intact”.

“We look at it as a piece of art,” said Noble Black, a broker at Corcoran Group, who is listing the house along with Bonnie Pfeiffer Evans and Carmen Marques Perez.

“There are no comps for a house like this”.
