Overview of The Woolworth Mansion at 4 East 80th Street

Built in 1915 by renowned architect Charles P.H. Gilbert for Frank Woolworth, the Woolworth Mansion at 4 East 80th Street is a distinguished piece of New York City’s architectural heritage. The French Gothic limestone residence spans approximately 20,000 square feet across seven stories, with a 35-foot-wide façade featuring elegant detailing and two monumental dormers. Painstakingly restored in the early 2000s, the mansion retains its historic grandeur while incorporating modern conveniences. The home offers nine bedrooms, 11.5 bathrooms, and three kitchens, along with numerous formal and informal living spaces.

A stately entry hall welcomes visitors with an intricate mosaic floor, an ornate fireplace, and a sweeping staircase beneath a stained glass skylight. On the parlor floor, ceilings soar over 14 feet high, highlighting a grand drawing room that connects to a wood-paneled formal dining room capable of seating over 50 guests. A bright solarium/morning room and a serving kitchen complete the floor. The third level features a spacious wood-paneled library with a wet bar and powder room, along with a two-bedroom suite with two full bathrooms.

The fourth floor is dedicated to the primary suite, offering a luxurious bedroom, a vestibule, and two full bathrooms with adjoining dressing rooms. The fifth floor provides four additional bedrooms, each with en-suite bathrooms, while the sixth floor includes a gym, sauna, and an open-concept space that can serve as a bedroom or office. The seventh floor houses separate staff quarters with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen, a sitting room, and access to a rooftop lounge.

An elevator services all floors, and the lower level is designed for functional work-from-home use with executive offices, a conference room, a lounge, a kitchen, and two bathrooms. This level also opens to a private backyard. The Woolworth Mansion stands as a rare opportunity to own a meticulously restored residence that embodies timeless elegance and a rich New York City legacy.
