9 bedrooms | 8 baths | 6,000 square feet
Built in 1892
Fittingly called “Overcliff,” this insane 1892 Victorian mansion was built by E.K. Martin, President of the American Real Estate Company. It features a modest 31 rooms, including 9 bedrooms, 8 fireplaces, and massive central tower. And to sweeten the deal, it comes with an observatory with a 360 degree panoramic view of the Manhattan skyline. Free ghosts included.
