Built in 1898, the townhouse nicknamed Archibald Townhouse is a true work of art located in the heart of Manhattan.
The history of the 4 East 74th Street townhouse begins in 1898 when it was erected by architect Alexander Welch, known as the consulting architect for the restorations of Alexander Hamilton’s house in Harlem and George Washington’s headquarters in White Plains.
Among the many residents of the mansion are the painter Marc Chagall (1887-1985) but also the “king of pop”, Michael Jackson (1958-2009). The latter had rented it in the 1990s.
But its most famous use is in Gossip Girl. On Google Maps, the residence is nicknamed Archibald Townhouse, in homage to Nate Archibald, one of the main characters of the series living there.
With 7 bedrooms, 8 bathrooms, 2 powder rooms, 10 fireplaces and numerous parquet floors, stained glass windows and other sumptuous moldings, the house is priced at no less than $39 million. A real gem.
