A Beaux-Arts limestone mansion on the Upper East Side that sold barely five months ago to a Connecticut-based investor for $17 million is back on the market for $35 million.

Nancy Vella, wife of developer Zach Vella and founder of boutique children’s store Florence Fancy, previously owned the 20-foot-wide, five-story townhouse known as the Arthur Sachs House. Vella listed it for $20 million, then sold it for $3 million less in July, as previously reported.
