New York City\u2019s Gilded Age has always embodied a certain romance\u2014and as of last month, one lucky (and very wealthy) buyer will have the chance to snag a rare slice of this American era.<\/p>\n

This one-of-a-kind, limestone and brick mansion on Manhattan\u2019s Upper East Side<\/a>\u00a0is priced at $80 million and is truly\u00a0the stuff of real estate portfolio dreams.<\/p>\n

The local landmark<\/a>\u00a0is uniquely situated and stands as \u201cone of the last remnants of the luxurious mansions along Fifth Avenue, facing Central Park, that remain in private hands,\u201d the listing from Compass states.<\/p>\n

Those familiar with the city might have noticed that this iconic, salmon-pink mansion sits directly across from the main entrance of the Metropolitan Museum of Art<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Storied estate<\/h2>\n

Tobacco entrepreneur Benjamin N. Duke<\/strong> purchased this residence in 1901, and it stayed in the family until 2006, when it was sold for $40 million to real estate investor Tamir Sapir<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Mexican telecom magnate Carlos Slim<\/strong> picked up the property in 2010 for $44 million<\/a>. He listed it in 2015 for $80 million and eventually took it off the market.<\/p>\n

Built in 1901 in a Renaissance palazzo and beaux-arts style, the light-filled residence is 20,000 square feet of pure luxury. There are eight bedrooms and 10 bathrooms.<\/p>\n

The grand staircase winds its way through all five levels, and the large windows on each landing offer prime views of Fifth Avenue and Central Park. The building boasts 27 feet of Fifth Avenue frontage.<\/p>\n

Upper levels include skylit rooms and a rooftop terrace with skyline views.<\/p>\n

Marble floors and ornate moldings will remind buyers that they aren\u2019t just living in a home\u2014they\u2019re inhabiting a piece of history.<\/p>\n

And while the current building is set up as a private residence, it could easily be converted into a gallery, store, or museum.<\/p>\n
