UPPER EAST SIDE — A palatial home with 24 rooms, including a theater, 11 fireplaces and a vacant restaurant space is on the market for $50 million, according to broker Douglas Elliman.
The 6-and-a-half story home at 24 E. 81st St. near Madison Avenue — which comes with a monthly real estate tax of $19,581 — boasts a marble spiral staircase, an elevator, 10 bedrooms, 10 full and seven half bathrooms, a media room or home theater, a dining hall, a library, a large kitchen, a drawing room, a conservatory, dressing rooms and private studies, according to the listing posted by Douglass Elliman.
A dining room, bar and serving kitchen on the first level of the 116-year-old mansion served as the Crown restaurant from 2011 until March 2015, according to New York Eater.
The mansion, currently owned by developer Henry Hay, was built in 1900 for builder Jeremiah C. Lyons by the architectural firm Buchman & Fox, according to the Landmarks Preservation Commission, which listed it as part of the Metropolitan Museum Historic District in 1977.
The mansion has been on the market before. It was listed for $63 million in 2014 with Corcoran Group and Brown Harris Stevens, according to The Real Deal.
Tal Alexander, the Douglas Elliman broker listed for the sale, did not return calls for comment this week.
