Eleanor Roosevelt's $14M NYC Townhouse Perfect for Bush Twin

Updated

Eleanor Roosevelt's four-bedroom Upper East Side townhouse is on the market for a stately $14.5 million. The former first lady lived between 1956 and 1958 in the building on 62nd Street, which is flanked by Second and Third avenues. For that price tag, we would hope to at least have an eagle's view of the Manhattan skyline, but alas it seems that Roosevelt preferred to stare out at other grandiose homes: according to Streeteasy.com, townhouse prices on the Upper East Side this year average $10 million.

Note to former first daughter and New York apartment-hunter Barbara Bush: Let Eleanor Roosevelt school you on how to lodge like a former White House resident.
