The Rothschild Mansion, Estate of the Day

This stately mansion on 70th Street in New York has a Neo-Georgian style and was originally built for Mr. and Mrs. Walter N. Rothchild in 1929. The townhouse is 28 feet wide and has large rooms with high ceilings and original details. The elevatored building has 11,000 approximate total square feet and there is a 33' foot deep garden. The interior is six levels and gets light from windows in the north and south, as well as the west. There is a penthouse terrace on the roof. According to a posting on Curbed, in August 2004, Braden Keil from the NY Post reported that Woody Allen had bought the place for $15 million and planned to convert the office configuration into a single-family residence (and then later reported the deal had fizzled out a month later). The home is listed at an inflated $25 million.

Update: Woody Allen has just found a new home. The New York Observer reports that Woody has bought a different home, also on East 70th St. for $25.9 million.
