A magnificent century old brick townhouse in New York City with a long list of prominent owners and direct water views from all major rooms is currently labelled as being under contract. The five-storey, 7,000 square foot residence, designed by Mott Schmidt and built c.1920, has been on the market since 2018 for as much as $21,000,000. Previous owners include the Vanderbilts, Charles Merrill and most recently Drue Heinz of the Heinz ketchup fortune. According to Architectural Digest, Heinz, who passed in 2018 at the age of 103, requested that a portion of the profits from the sale were to be donated to various charities that she had supported.
