Built in the 1930s on the Upper East Side, the 10-bedroom townhouse is one of the largest private homes in the city, with more than 28,000 square feet of living space spread across seven floors.
The Manhattan townhouse is one of the properties where the late financier was accused of sexually abusing young girls. In July 2019, investigators said they had found "hundreds" of nude photos of girls - some of whom appeared to be underage - at the Upper East Side mansion. Investigators also reported finding bizarre items in the home like a life-size doll hung from a chandelier and an oil painting of Bill Clinton wearing a blue dress and red heels.

Epstein amassed a multimillion-dollar real-estate portfolio in his lifetime, including a private island in the US Virgin Islands, a mansion in Palm Beach, and homes in New Mexico and Paris, France. In November, his estate sold his beachfront Palm Beach mansion for $18 million to a developer who has plans to demolish it.
The proceeds from the sales of the New York townhouse will go to Epstein's estate, which has established a victim's fund for the women accusing Epstein of sexually abusing them when they were minors. The executors of Epstein's estate, however, have been accused of facilitating his sex trafficking scheme in the US Virgin Islands by forcing three of Epstein's accusers to marry in order to avoid being deported.
The listing agent, Adam Modlin of Modlin Group, did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment for this story.
