It is hard to believe from the photos that this breathtaking home is located in Manhattan. I have walked by The Mellon House and always wondered what it was like beyond the spectacular entrance and terraces. Built by banking heir Paul Mellon and his wife Bunny Mellon in 1965, the iconic 11,100 square foot townhouse is currently on the market for a cool $46,000,000. The fourteen room interior is designed in the neoFrench classic style. Bunny Mellon had a passion for gardening, (designing the White Houses Rose Garden with her dear friend Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis) courtyard spaces she created here feel more like a French countryside then of a bustling city. If your having a stroll by Central Park on the the upper east side the Mellon home would be so lovey to see, even if it is just from the outside.
