Back in 2015, Vincent DeFilippo doled out $8.8 million for a Renaissance Revival townhouse on Manhattan’s Upper West Side designed by architect Henry F. Cook and completed in 1910. The successful author and entrepreneur subsequently embarked upon a seven-year renovation and expansion of the onetime three-family home, complete with a central sky-lit serpentine staircase emulating the iconic spiral ramp in the Frank Lloyd Wright–designed Guggenheim Museum.  

DeFilippo, formerly the CEO of a Hong Kong-based private-equity fund, has now decided to put the stylishly transformed digs on the market for exactly $16 million, with Judy Kloner and Kate Wollman-Mahan of Coldwell Banker Warburg sharing the listing.

Standing out in the six-bedroom, 10-bathroom spread, which measures 20 feet wide and 8,000 square feet across six levels, is a living room with two seating areas, a linear fireplace, and a bay window. Blonde hardwood floors flow past a 20-person elevator on the way to a kitchen outfitted with sleek European cabinetry, a waterfall-edge island in veined marble, and high-end Wolf appliances. An adjacent dining area topped with a matchstick light fixture has French doors spilling out to a terrace.

Other highlights include a coral-hued study lined with bookshelves and a media room with a wet bar that leads to a garden patio serviced by an outdoor kitchen. A primary suite holding court by itself on the third level features a wood-paneled media wall with a fireplace and a private south-facing balcony. A 24-foot dressing room leads to a luxe bath, with a custom dual-sink vanity, a large oval soaking tub, and a glass-encased shower.

Added by deFilippo is a fifth floor, with a pair of terraces on either side of a solarium and access to a rooftop deck. At the opposite end, the basement holds a gym and an infrared sauna. Rounding it all off are a new foundation, waterproofing, roofing, windows, and doors, plus a 20-person elevator that travels to each floor.

“I built it for myself, and that’s why I didn’t skimp on the cost,” deFilippo told Mansion Global, adding that he’s decided to sell because his family needs more space. He plans to renovate a larger, historic townhouse, and hopefully, put in a pool this time.
