The home to see the biggest price cut today is a
townhouse at 351 Riverside Drive, according to Streeteasy.com, which
Brown Harris Stevens calls the only free-standing, single-family mansion
in Manhattan. The price of the 12,000-square-foot home was lowered by
$5 million, and it is now on the market for $25 million. The mansion is
listed for 17 percent less than its original price of $30 million when
it first went on the market in December 2007. Brown Harris Stevens’
Diane Abrams and Felise Gross have the listing. The home, which has
3,400 square feet of outdoor space, was built in 1909 by William
Tuthill, the architect who designed Carnegie Hall. TRD

The sprawling, eight-room apartment at the Osborne that was home to
cabaret singer Bobby Short and composer Leonard Bernstein is on the
market for the first time in two decades, according to the listing
broker, Katie Rosenberg of Warburg Realty. Apartment 4B is a four-bedroom, 3.5-bath co-op in the century-old
Osborne at 205 West 57th Street, uniquely designed with 11 stories on
the front and 15 on the back. The sellers, whom Rosenberg declined to
name, are asking $3.495 million, or $1,165 per square foot for the
home, which underwent 14 months of meticulous restoration before going
on the market in late April, said Rosenberg, who escorted The Real Deal on an exclusive tour of the apartment. The monthly maintenance is $4,662. [more]
