\n\tBack in 2015, Vincent DeFilippo<\/a> doled out $8.8 million for a Renaissance Revival townhouse on Manhattan<\/a>\u2019s Upper West Side<\/a> 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. \u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tDeFilippo, 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<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tStanding 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, while an adjacent dining area topped with a matchstick light fixture has French doors spilling out to a terrace.<\/p>\n

\n\tOther 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.<\/p>\n

\n\tAdded 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.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI built it for myself, and that\u2019s why I didn\u2019t skimp on the cost,\u201d deFilippo told Mansion Global<\/a>, adding that he\u2019s 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.\u00a0<\/p>\n
