The house last sold in 2006 for $22.5 million and it's currently under contract with the new asking price of twice the last sale price. I will try to keep an eye on it and see what it brings after the closing.<br />You were so smart to buy the auction catalogs. They are bringing huge prices on ebay.<br />xo, RosemaryContent in a Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10075511188721176895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7823162730236792476.post-13632994464227870662014-12-01T11:39:28.851-05:002014-12-01T11:39:28.851-05:00Beautiful house!Beautiful house!Elizabeth@ Pine Cones and Acornshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06044933540074342177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7823162730236792476.post-14510796623450412632014-12-01T04:01:57.141-05:002014-12-01T04:01:57.141-05:00This townhouse was sold by the Mellons in somethin...This townhouse was sold by the Mellons in something like 1996 or something......quite a while ago. They did not sell the contents!<br /><br />What a compliment to the buyers that you thought you recognized things!<br /><br />The buyers were creative, talented people; (I read all about them somewhere!)<br /><br />None of the contents were sold to the buyers......they were all in the auction!<br /><br />However; to the credit of the buyers (the lady being an antique dealer of very high repute) of antique Italian furniture; furnished it beautifully "a la Bunny"; (I am sure that is why she fell in love with it!) They changed none of the room's finishes.....and kept the garden the same......(Thanks be to GOD!!)<br /><br />It is the most exquisite house in all of New York City (to my mind....) I am praying like minds purchase and preserve its quiet elegance!<br /><br />I LOVE this post! I purchased these catalogues.....I will refer to them every day!<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7823162730236792476.post-83024781794789420442014-11-30T15:04:35.077-05:002014-11-30T15:04:35.077-05:00Candice and Donna Baker.

This is the first I've seen the contents within their setting. Will study it more when I get home. <br /><br />I'm leaving shortly for the drive back to VA ... Been in CT for Thanksgiving. Hope you had a good one.<br /><br />Karen in VAKaren in VA (was CT)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10530127612439104603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7823162730236792476.post-1675145767802298642014-11-30T10:13:24.963-05:002014-11-30T10:13:24.963-05:00Lordy!Lordy!Candicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11498377506427432386noreply@blogger.com
