NEW YORK CITY- An 1888-built townhouse on the Upper Eastside of Manhattan at 16 East 82nd St. has traded for $12.25 million. The 9,468-square-foot historic townhouse retains almost all of its original features since Edward Kilpatrick designed it centuries ago, including its elaborate façade.
“This is a one-of-a-kind opportunity to acquire one of the most prestigious lots of real estate in the world,” said JLL Managing Director Tom Gammino in a prepared statement. “16 East 82nd Street is prime for a single-family mansion conversion.”
