A Manhattan townhouse on the Upper West Side where jazz music icon, the trumpeter Miles Davis, regularly played music has listed for $11.5 million.
It was built in 1901 by architect C.P.H. Gilbert, who is known for his work on the Instagram-favored Cartier Building at 4 E. 52nd St.
Located at 311 W. 74th St., the townhouse was formerly owned by the founder of the Newport Jazz Festival and co-creator of the New Orleans Jazz Festival, George Wein.
Wein used the five-story property as his office — frequently playing not just with Davis, but also with Dizzy Gillespie.
Made up of seven bedrooms and seven baths, the residence occupies nearly 7,000 square feet.
Features include three outdoor spaces, including a roof deck, as well as a gym and sauna.
Steps to Riverside Park, the limestone and brick structure boasts a grand parlor. On the garden level is the eat-in kitchen with two Miele ovens and a breakfast nook. It also holds a bedroom/den with a decorative fireplace.
The parlor level features the foyer with a fireplace, as well as a grand staircase. The parlor itself has 11-foot-high ceilings. The formal dining boats original mahogany wood paneling and an adjacent butler’s pantry with a dumbwaiter.
On the second level is the primary bedroom suite, which spans over 600 square feet, and comes with an ensuite bath with a soaking tub and an oversize walk-in closet. On the same level is a living room/library with an original built-in bookcase and a Tiffany glass transom window, the listing notes.
The third level holds three bedrooms, including one that has been described as the second primary suite. There is also a laundry space with a sink.
The fourth level holds two more bedrooms. One of the bedrooms is currently set up as a gym. There is also a dry sauna and a recreation room with a wet bar.
Finally the roof boasts lush plants with a garden terrace. The basement level holds two wine cellars and storage space.
