From the Sotheby’s Real Estate site:
Paul Mellon, heir to one of America’s great banking fortunes, and his wife, Bunny Mellon, built this extraordinarily beautiful 40’ wide townhouse on a fabled Upper East Side block in 1965. 
This iconic townhouse, designed in the neo-French classic style and evoking the charm of the French countryside in the middle of Manhattan, reflected the passions of its owners. 
Paul Mellon curated his art collection in the library overlooking the exquisite garden with reflecting pool and gazebo, 
where Bunny Mellon, designer of the White House Rose Garden and friend to Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, indulged her love of gardening. The high-ceilinged drawing room 
and dining room
lead to a spectacular terrace, the center of celebratory parties. 
The townhouse has 5-8 bedrooms, 
with flexibility for guests, 
and staff, 8 baths, chef’s kitchen, 
wine room and elevator. Most rare, however, the house has 3 exposures, affording brilliant sunlight into some of the most beautiful rooms on the Upper East Side.
This is what is known as a des-res. A desirable residence! And Paul Mellon’s the only non-museum person who can curate a collection – the word curate is bandied about a bit too much these days!
My one question is who decorated the house? Maison Jansen?
