Curbed<\/a> that the home is located on a landmarked block and that \u201cthe last owners had updated it after buying it seven or eight years ago.\u201d <\/p>\nDesigned by the late-19th-century architecture firm Lamb & Rich \u2014 whose credits include Sagamore Hill, Teddy Roosevelt\u2019s Long Island estate \u2014 the nearly 7,000-square-foot property retains period details including wood paneling, coffered ceilings, a rounded foyer wall and a wide central staircase.<\/p>\n
Lichy and her husband, who recently welcomed their fourth child, \u201cwere looking for their next long-term residence and something they could really put their mark on,\u201d Bushkanets told the outlet. \u201cNot just a home for her kids but a showplace.\u201d<\/p>\n
While it\u2019s unclear if Lichy and her husband bought or leased the home, public records show no recent sale. Compass<\/p>\n
Bushkanets described the deal as \u201cnot a standard rental and not a standard sale,\u201d suggesting a custom arrangement. Compass<\/p>\n
Lichy, a real estate broker, designer, and house flipper who recently welcomed her fourth child, may be positioning the home as both a family residence and a showcase \u2014 possibly in anticipation of a \u201cRHONY\u201d cast shake-up. Compass<\/p>\n

Despite the apparent fit, it remains unclear whether the couple purchased the property outright.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Public records do not reflect a recent sale, and Bushkanets would only describe the transaction as \u201cnot a standard rental and not a standard sale but something in between.\u201d He added, \u201cIt took months of back and forth between the parties.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lichy and her husband have previously rented their residences, including the Tribeca duplex made famous on \u201cRHONY\u201d and another Upper West Side apartment where they had been living.<\/p>\n
Whether Lichy plans to make the townhouse her new filming location \u2014 or perhaps a set for a post-Housewives era \u2014 remains to be seen.\u00a0<\/p>\n
