A wonderfully preserved Gilded Age mansion<\/a> is poised to hit the market for $13.9 million as the glamorous homes from that period of time are back in the spotlight.<\/p>\n

The grand 19th-century limestone residence is\u00a0at 57 E. 74th St., between Park and Madison avenues. It\u2019s one of seven on the historic block designed by noted architects Buchman and Deisler.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The listing comes as the buzzy third season of HBO\u2019s \u201cThe Gilded Age\u201d is underway<\/a>, which has created renewed interest in the lavish dwellings where the wealthy resided during that period. It also fortuitously enters the market as a number of city homes from the Gilded Age have recently listed or sold, such as the Stanford White-designed 973 Fifth Ave.<\/a>, which traded hands for $46 million. <\/p>\n

However, despite the sum of these kinds of properties that have made recent waves on the residential market, they\u2019re still a rare breed of home to own.<\/p>\n

Built in 1898, this five-story home features an ornate iron grille door. It was once owned by the Broadway producer and television pioneer Joseph Cates. The present seller has owned it since 1990, when he bought it for $3.4 million from Cates.<\/p>\n

At a sprawling 8,200 square feet, the seven-bedroom, 6.5-bath property comes with nine fireplaces, two terraces and two wine cellars.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The residence opens to an entry level with a grand foyer featuring oak wainscoting, plastered ceilings and inlaid wood floors. <\/p>\n

For its part, the basement level includes a laundry area and a home gym.\u00a0<\/p>\n
