The historic James F.D. Lanier mansion in Manhattan is now up for grabs. But, hopeful buyers will have to cough up a considerable chunk of change.
The home, located at 123 East 35th St. in Murray Hill, is over eleven thousand square feet and listed at 33 million dollars.
The massive house was built in 1903, and Christie’s International Real Estate has called it an “exuberant celebration” of the Gilded Age.
It rests in a prime location between Park and Lexington Avenues and is a historic pillar of New York City.
During the Gilded Age, the Lanier family were well-regarded socialites who hired the Hoppin & Koen architectural firm to construct this gorgeous mansion.
From the outside, the Lanier House may appear understated. But, the interior is nothing less than grandiose opulence.

The house features private quarters, home to nine bedrooms– five of which are suites– seven full bathrooms, and three half baths.
The staff quarters are nothing to scoff at, either. They are equipped with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and an office.

And aside from the six-floor home’s massive size, the true “wow” factor lies in the luxurious amenities.

Future home-dwellers could even make their way to the sixth floor to enjoy marvelous rooftop views of the city. What more could anyone want?
Every single room and decorative element was also designed with splendor in mind. Classic statues and artwork, crystal chandeliers, french windows, marble fountains, and gold accents can be found throughout the property.
Plus, the home is equipped with a private elevator, dumbwaiter, and an intercom system to make travel and communication easy.
