On the market for the first time in 50 years, this remarkable Gothic mansion is in New York City’s Gramercy Park neighborhood, and has some amazing history.

Originally built over 400 years ago, the entire home was disassembled and moved to New York City in 1845. Amazingly, it was then moved again in 1910, where it sits today, on a quiet street in this upscale, historically significant neighborhood.

Erik Van Conover gives us an exclusive tour of this home, which spans many levels, and has a staggering amount of intricate historical details in the walls, floors, and ceilings.

As of this post, the price of this listing has dropped to just under $10,000,000, which could be yours, if you’re a true history lover, with very deep pockets.

The 6,789 square foot mansion features six bedrooms, 5.5 bathrooms, and an array of fascinating architectural characteristics, from a massive great room with huge stone fireplace, to a crystal palace style garden, with gothic fountain.

Full of amazing history, the home is an historical rarity, even amongst New York’s oldest homes.
