A Manhattan townhouse on the Upper West Side where jazz music icon, trumpeter Miles Davis, regularly played concerts, is listed for $11.5 million.
It was built in 1901 by architect CPH Gilbert, best known for his work on the Instagram-favorite Cartier Building at 4 E. 52nd St.
Located at 311 W. 74th St., the townhouse was previously owned by George Wayne, founder of the Newport Jazz Festival and co-creator of the New Orleans Jazz Festival.
Wayne used the five-story property as his office – often playing with not only Davis, but Dizzy Gillespie as well.
Composed of seven bedrooms and seven baths, the residence occupies approximately 7,000 square feet.
Amenities include a roof deck as well as three outdoor spaces including a gym and sauna.
The Riverside Park Staircase, a limestone and brick structure, houses a grand parlor. On the garden level is the eat-in kitchen with a two mile oven and breakfast nook. It also has a bedroom/den with a decorative fireplace.
The parlor level features a foyer with a fireplace as well as a grand staircase. The parlor itself has an 11 foot high ceiling. Formal dining boats original mahogany wood paneling and an adjacent butler’s pantry with a dumbwaiter.
On the second level is the primary bedroom suite, which spans over 600 square feet, and comes with an ensuite bathroom with a soaking tub and an oversized closet. On the same level is a living room/library with an original built-in bookcase and a Tiffany glass transom window, the listing notes.
The third level houses three bedrooms, one of which is described as the second primary suite. There is also a laundry area with sink.
The fourth level has two more bedrooms. One bedroom is currently set up as a gym. There is also a dry sauna and recreation room with a wet bar.
Finally the terrace boasts of lush green plantings along with a garden terrace. The basement level houses two wine cellars and storage space.
