NAUNANG TAHANAN NG PAMILYA GUCCI, CALVIN KLEIN AT AMBASADOR NG ITALYA SA UN.

Itinayo sa takipsilim ng Gilded Age, ang 16 East 76th Street ay isang kaakit-akit na neo-Georgian townhouse na gawa sa ladrilyo at limestone na dinisenyo ng mga kilalang arkitekto na sina Hoppin & Koen para sa prominenteng abogado na si Moncure Robinson. Kamakailan lamang, ang tahanang ito ay na-renovate at tinirhan ng fashion mogul na si Calvin Klein, na nagbenta nito sa Republika ng Italya upang maging tirahan para sa kanilang Ambasador sa UN. Si G. Klein ay bumili ng tahanang ito mula sa pamilyang Gucci. Ang townhouse ay matatagpuan sa isa sa mga pinaka-nanais na lokasyon sa lungsod, malapit lamang sa Central Park, loob ng isang bloke mula sa Carlyle at Mark Hotels at malapit sa mga world-class na restawran, pamimili at museo. Ang Casa Tua, isang eksklusibong pribadong social club, ay kamakailan lamang nagbukas sa na-renovate na Surrey Hotel na dalawang pinto ang layo. Ang Children's Gate entrance sa Central Park, na maginhawang matatagpuan malapit sa isang bagong playground, estatwa ng Alice in Wonderland at toy boat pond, ay nasa 76th Street at Fifth Avenue. Isa ito sa mga pinakamagandang bloke ng townhouse sa labas ng Fifth Avenue kung saan 12 sa 15 na bahay sa bloke (80%) ay single unit, 4 na beses ng average. Ang propertidad na ito ay nagbibigay ng nag-iisang pagkakataon na bumili ng 10,000 square foot townhouse sa pagitan ng Fifth at Madison Avenues para sa mas mababa sa $24,000,000. Ang mga iminungkahing plano at mga pagtatantya sa konstruksyon sa dulo ng mga larawan ay ibinigay ni Drew Lang, Founding Principal ng Lang Architecture.

Constructed in the twilight of the Gilded Age, 16 East 76th Street is a handsome 1902 brick and limestone neo-Georgian townhouse designed by renowned architects Hoppin & Koen for prominent lawyer Moncure Robinson. More recently this home was renovated and occupied by fashion mogul, Calvin Klein, who sold it to the Republic of Italy to be the residence for their Ambassador to the UN. Mr. Klein purchased this home from the Gucci family. The townhouse occupies one of the most coveted locations in the city, just off Central Park, within one block of the Carlyle and Mark Hotels and close to world-class restaurants, shopping and museums. Casa Tua, an exclusive private social club, just opened in the recently refurbished Surrey Hotel two doors away. The Children's Gate entrance to Central Park, conveniently located near a new playground, Alice in Wonderland statue and toy boat pond, is entered at 76th Street and Fifth Avenue.
