Carolyne Roehm seeks $5.49M for her opulent NYC home

Carolyne Roehm — an author, businesswoman and an all-around hostess with the mostest — is trying once more to sell her grand Manhattan duplex. 

The expansive Sutton Place co-op recently returned to market for $5.49 million.

True to the tastemaker’s style, Roehm’s three-bedroom abode evokes old moneyed opulence: coffered ceilings, stately columns, fabric paneling and a whole lot of height. 

The listing first appeared under a different brokerage in May of last year with a $6.15 million price tag. That ask dropped down to $5.49 million before it was taken down this August.

This fresh offering, also priced at $5.49 million, is held by Charles Holmes and Evita LaSasso of Coldwell Banker Warburg.

The former 1980s socialite and Oscar de la Renta muse made a name for herself as a sort of Midtown Martha Stewart, publishing more than a dozen coffee table books on art, design, entertaining and homemaking. Among her most popular tomes include “A Passion for Blue and White,” “Flowers,” “At Home in the Garden” and “A Passion for Parties.”

Roehm, 74, purchased the Sutton Place pad in 2004 following her divorce from private equity scion Henry Kravis.

“I fell in love with its European proportions instantly. It was perfect for my art,” Roehm told The Post in an emailed comment.

Roehm’s large living room is the star of the listing, with its 18-foot coffered ceiling, 12-foot casement windows and decorative pilasters. The old-world aesthetic extends into the fabric-paneled, circular dining room and a wood-paneled library that Curbed once compared to “an enormous humidor.” 

Hidden pocket doors throughout the home connect to more discrete rooms, including the butler’s pantry and the windowed kitchen.

The second level is accessed by a limestone staircase — or a private elevator — and hosts all three bedrooms, as well as a paneled den and a home office. 

The rich furnishings and soaring paintings that populate the duplex are right at home in the lofty proportions of 322 E. 57th St. 

The neo-classical limestone residence was constructed in 1929 as a studio building — a tailor-made live and work space for artists in need of massive walls and wide-open windows. The building’s ground floor is long occupied by Mr Chow, a beloved city staple for high-end Chinese cuisine.
