Now we can know how the infamous Rockefeller’s live in modern days with this new estate listing on the Upper East Side of Manhattan.

This luxury townhouse, listed at $15.5 million, is the home of Mark and Renee Rockefeller and my is this a tasty estate!

The 25-foot-wide townhouse is 6,420 square feet. It has five floors plus a full basement with a wine vault, laundry room and exercise room. The four-bedroom home has one of the most amazing libraries I have ever seen, especially if you are a connoisseur of dead things. It has gleaming lacquered walls with animal skulls in front of a black and white marble fireplace surround and exotic animal heads and fur pillows atop tufted couches.

The home makes bold use of wallpaper prints, notice-me-now furniture and dramatic light fixtures. As the Real Estalker aptly puts it, “this is not your blue-blooded grandma’s townhouse.” It appears to be the sort of house one either adores or abhors. Public records show that “Maren Properties” (which is likely an abbreviation of Mark “Mar” and Renee “Ren”) of 30 Rockefeller Plaza paid $10.8 million for the home in June 2005. The home was on the market in 2008 for $18.5 million but can now be had for $15.5 millio
