Violin virtuoso Itzhak Perlman and his musician wife Toby Perlman have sold their historic, turn-of-the-century Upper West Side townhouse for $8.18 million, according to city property records filed on Monday afternoon. The buyers, sources said, are Chinese investors.<\/p>\n

Itzhak Perlman, an Israeli-American who won 16 Grammy Awards and four Emmy awards, along with the Presidential Medal of Freedom, is known for his brilliant breadth of work, which includes performing the haunting solo violin passages in the Oscar-winning score for \u201cSchindler\u2019s List.\u201d<\/p>\n

At 20 feet wide, the 8,000-square-foot dwelling is aptly close to Lincoln Center. It comes with five to six bedrooms, five baths, four powder rooms and six fireplaces \u2014 along with 1,500 square feet of outdoor spaces featuring a roof deck, a landscaped terrace and a garden.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Design details\u00a0through the home, which was built in 1901, include the generous use of bold, happy colors like yellow, intricately patterned hardwood floors and lots of custom woodwork.<\/p>\n

On the parlor level, a gracious layout includes 12-foot ceilings and a great room, while the main floor eat-in chef\u2019s kitchen is extra large and anchors the property. There\u2019s also plenty of room for a concert-sized grand piano \u2014 as well as a light-filled dining room with skylights and access to the garden, plus a wood-paneled library.<\/p>\n

The Perlmans loved raising their kids on the Upper West Side, but they are empty-nesters now and it\u2019s time for the next family to build their dreams here, friends told Gimme Shelter.<\/p>\n
