A Gilded Age relic just got $12.5 million cheaper.

The opulent townhouse at 8 E. 62nd St. is back on the market for $57.5 million after failing to sell for $70 million last year, according to a Monday update on StreetEasy. The property is famously replete with tony touches, including a room whose walls are encased in Hermès leather.

The Beaux-Arts mansion, located just off of prime Fifth Avenue, spans nearly 15,000 square feet across five stories. Old world details throughout — like custom millwork, woodburning fireplaces and soaking tubs — are balanced out by modern perks like heated floors and high-end appliances.

“After testing the market last year, 8 E. 62nd St. was withdrawn to allow the owner time to relocate their family,” listing broker Adam Modlin, of the Modlin Group, told The Post in a statement. (The owner, listed in records as an anonymous LLC, has never been publicly identified.)

“Having reviewed current market conditions and having made the property fully sale ready, 8 E. 62nd St. returns to the market with a more competitive positioning and renewed focus.”

The limestone facade dates back to 1903, and has undergone several large-scale refurbishment projects in recent years. 

The six-bedroom home’s former owner, Somerset Partners CEO Keith Rubenstein, attempted to list it for a whopping potentially record-breaking $85 million in 2016, according to StreetEasy. He finally settled for $48 million in 2022, selling the home to the current anonymous owner. 

Modlin said the current owner invested “upwards of $16 million,” on upgrades to the property, including major mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems — as well as new security tech, kitchen and bath overhauls, and restorative work.

Guests at 8 E. 62nd St. are greeted with an opulent grand gallery featuring original malachite mosaic flooring, a marble fireplace mantel and a marble staircase, according to the listing.

Formal rooms on the grand parlor floor boast 17-foot ceilings and detailed crown moldings. The entire third floor is occupied by the luxurious primary suite, including two ensuite bathrooms and a wood-paneled library. 

Elsewhere, a bedroom is lined with mahogany lacquered millwork and bronze trim, and a billiards room is lined with those custom Hermès-upholstered leather walls. 

A rooftop terrace with elevator access finishes off the spread, offering an al fresco set-up below a cedar pergola and enviable views of nearby Central Park.

The basement hosts a gym with a sauna, a steam room and a massage room — plus a wine cellar and tiled dog-washing stations. 

The architect of Grant’s Tomb, John H. Duncan, built the home at the turn-of-the-century for real estate operator Thomas J. MaLaughlin, according to the architectural history blogger Tom Miller. The five-story construction was sold in 1904 to banker Warner Van Norden, for whom the historic property is named.
