Itzhak Perlman lists NYC home with indoor pool for $11.9M

Itzhak Perlman, the renowned violinist, and his wife Toby are selling their historic townhouse located on the Upper West Side of New York City for $11.9 million. This property, built in 1901, spans 8,000 square feet and features five to six bedrooms, five bathrooms, and four powder rooms, along with an impressive indoor pool and sauna. The Perlmans, who have raised their children in this home, previously listed it for $17.5 million in 2022. The townhouse boasts a unique 'spa level' for the pool and sauna, making it one of the few in the area with such amenities. Design elements include hardwood floors, custom woodwork, and a parlor level with 12-foot ceilings. The main floor features a chef's kitchen described as a 'cook's dream,' and the dining room is enhanced by skylights and direct access to a garden. Located just off Central Park West, the property offers close proximity to cultural landmarks such as Lincoln Center and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The Perlmans, both accomplished musicians and founders of the Perlman Music Program, are now empty nesters and are looking to downsize, prompting the sale of their beloved home. As they prepare to move on, the Perlmans hope to pass the property to a new family who will appreciate its rich history and prime location. The listing is being handled by brokers Richard Steinberg and Alexander Mignogna of Compass.
