Thierry Despont slashes the price of his TriBeCa townhouse located at 182 Franklin Street to $19,499,999 million. Douglas Elliman’s Rueben Schatz, Alexander Boriskin, Cameron Begg and Michael Lorber have the listing. In addition to the price drop, for an additional cost, the famed architect, designer and artist has offered his design services to the buyer. Thierry Despont has designed the homes of Calvin Klein, Bill Gates and more and is responsible for such projects as the Carlyle Hotel, Claridge’s, Casa Cipriani, The Dorchester in London and the Ritz Paris.
The townhouse was constructed in 1915 and purchased by Thierry Despont approximately 25 years ago. The designer has converted it into the gorgeous 10,000-square-foot single-family home with character.
The inviting foyer leads to a staircase and elevator connecting all the floors. The end of the first floor serves as an artist’s studio but can be transformed into children’s playroom, media room, solarium, swimming pool, etc.
Occupying the entire third floor, the primary suite features massive marble bath, dressing room, sauna, and enormous closet space
Three very private and special bedrooms suites are spread throughout complete with their own kitchenette and full baths. The grand dining room easily converts to a spectacular billiards room which shares the fourth floor with the chef’s eat-in-kitchen.
The fifth floor features the penthouse great room that spans the entire footprint of the building and boasts 15 ceilings. Additionally, the lavish home boasts two wine cellars, a basement with a laundry room, three gas fireplaces, air rights to build another floor (6TH floor), central HVAC, and much more.
