This Gilded Age mansion is the priciest rental in NYC



This opulent Manhattan mansion has everything a renter could want. The question is: Which deep-pocketed denizen can cough up $175,000 a month to have it?

When a fully renovated limestone mansion at 4 E. 64th St. entered the market in April, it was tied for the city’s most expensive rental. At $150,000 a month, the home’s sole competition was a lofty Hudson Square penthouse.

Less than two months later, however, the mansion got a price bump.

June saw the Gilded Age abode, located just off of Fifth Avenue, receive an eye-watering $175,000-a-month price, now making it the priciest for rent in town. 

Listing agent Carrie Chiang with Corcoran told The Post that the increase was due to the passage of the FARE Act in June, which banned landlords from passing broker fees onto renters. Many landlords responded in kind by building the cost directly into rents. 

The fully renovated Upper East Side mansion spans 30 feet wide and encompasses more than 18,000 square feet, according to the listing. It boasts eight bedrooms, seven bathrooms and three powder rooms.

The architect R.H. Robertson built the seven-story home in 1893. It most recently changed hands in 2007, according to city records, when the LLC 4-6-8 purchased the historic property for $25.2 million. Public records indicate its use as a multifamily rental under its current ownership.

A years-long gut renovation, undertaken by Zivkovic Connolly Architects, resulted in like-new interiors for the grand home.

The home’s 1,500 square feet of private outdoor space includes a balcony, a garden and a roof deck, according to the listing.

The city’s elaborate turn-of-the-century mansions are reportedly enjoying a healthy season of sales, neatly coinciding with the third season of HBO’s architecturally inspired hit show “Gilded Age.” But what modern day robber baron wants to rent? 

Chiang declined to comment on what kind of renter a $175,000-a-month mansion could entice. Rentals in the $50,000 to $100,000 range, leased for one month at a time by jet-setting sultans or scooped up by 1-percenters eager to romp with their fellow elites, aren’t unheard of, but the person who’ll snag this palatial rental remains an unknown quantity.
