Billionaire Alexey Kuzmichev, co-founder of the US-sanctioned Alfa-Bank, has listed his quadruplex in the famous Atterbury Mansion on the Upper East Side for $41 million.
Kuzmitchev bought his share of the seven-story, 33-foot-wide house, located at 33 E. 74th St., in 2016 for $42 million, as we previously reported. His neighbor is Bob Iger, ex-CEO of the Walt Disney Company, owner of the penthouse.
At the time, that seemed like a steep price, because it wasn’t even for the whole mansion. The magnificent residence was built in 1901 by famed architect Grosvenor Atterbury for another banker – Julian Wainwright Robbins and his wife, Sarah, who was Cornelius Vanderbilt’s niece.
Later, the mansion was part of a nine-building complex belonging to the Whitney Museum of Art which was restored and transformed by developer Daniel Straus. The city granted Straus the right to empty the interiors as long as he retained and restored the historic facades.
Kuzmichev’s four floors are 10,088 square feet of neutral grays and creams, plus wide oak plank floors throughout, the listing notes. The condo, which comes with its own internal elevator, opens into a limestone and plaster entrance hall, and leads to large entertaining areas.
There is a large chef’s kitchen, five bedrooms, five bathrooms and three shower rooms. The “living room” floor boasts 12+ inch ceilings, with floor-to-ceiling arched windows and a large private terrace on the first floor.
Kuzmichev also owned a $15.5 million three-bedroom in an adjacent building that he had hoped to combine – but he sold it last year for more than $16 million. The listing broker is Richard J. Steinberg of Compass.
Kuzmichev is worth around $6.1 billion, according to Forbes, but Russian experts tell the Post it could be worth much more. However, since Monday, Kuzmichev left LetterOne’s board of directors (a Luxembourg-based international investment firm), which he co-founded with Mikhail Fridman and Pyotr Aven, following EU sanctions against Fridman and Aven, according to reports. (The United States also sanctioned Alfa-Bank, which is Russia’s largest private bank.) Kuzmichev’s unsanctioned LetterOne co-founders German Khan and Andrei Kosogov, resigned with him.
