Purchasing two adjoining historic New York townhouses for $19 million turned out to be a real deal for Peter Brant and Stephanie Seymour.
The billionaire art collector and his supermodel wife are selling one for a cool $23 million, Page Six has learned.
In 1931, New York socialite and prominent banker George F. Baker Jr. commissioned architecture firm Delano & Aldrich to design the four-story home for his father, known as the “Dean of American Banking.”
“There are only a few townhouses by Delano & Aldrich remaining in Manhattan, so this one stands out as a grand mansion that is remarkably intact to this day,” the couple’s broker, Paula Del Nunzio, of Brown Harris Stevens told Page Six.
The couple purchased the East 93rd Street property, and an adjacent townhouse, in Carnegie Hill after they went on the market for the first time in decades in 2022.
“The homes have not been touched in 30 years,” a source said last year.
“They need a lot of work, but they are beautiful,” the insider shared, adding that renovations would “run well into the millions” of dollars.
It’s unclear what renovations, if any, the home that’s up for sale has undergone.
Also as part of the house’s history, investment banker Dick Jenrette bought the fancy property, “not once but twice,” according to its current listing.
Jenrette was the late co-founder of Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette, the first New York Stock Exchange member to go public.
He died in 2018 at 89.
The historic pad comes with an elevator, at least two fire places, and a garden.
A rep for Seymour and Brant did not comment.
