A Manhattan townhouse that was built about 3,600 miles away in Amsterdam in the 17th century and shipped to New York has hit the market for $13.95 million.
In the 1970s, fashion designer Oleg Cassini—famous for developing the “Jackie Look” for former first lady Jaqueline Kennedy—took over the home. During his tenure, he hosted huge soirees in the residence, according to Compass. Cassini died in 2006 at the age of 92, but the property was caught up in legal battles for years.
Design elements include walls of stained glass windows, coffered ceilings, dark wood paneling, wrought-iron details, moldings and a Flemish pattern stone floor, the listing said. Totaling 6,798 square feet over five levels, the home has plenty of space for events or to showcase an art collection, the agent added. There are six bedrooms and five and a half bathrooms.
