Hannah Bronfman, a DJ, influencer, and businesswoman, grew up in a Beaux-Arts Upper West Side home, far from the downtown bustle.
River Mansion, a 35-foot-wide, five-story red-brick and limestone home at 337 Riverside Drive, was the site of this year’s Kips Bay Decorator Show House New York.
Sherry, a philanthropist who co-starred in the 1971 film “Shaft” and is the ex-wife of Seagram billionaire heir Edgar Bronfman Jr., raised three children there: Vanessa, a singer-actor; Benjamin, a musician-entrepreneur who shares a child with rapper M.I.A.; and Hannah, who is married to and has two children with Brendan Fallis.
The corner residence, surrounded by an original iron gate, was erected in 1902 and is one of seven Beaux-Arts homes (from 330 to 337 Riverside Drive) known as the Seven Beauties.
At 10,000 square feet, the five-bedroom residence comes with a grand foyer, parlor, library, wine room, media room, multiple kitchens, a dining room, roof deck, and an elevator.
The main entrance is flanked by columns inspired by late 16th-century French architecture.
Former owners include Shakespearean actress Julia Marlowe, who paid $68,000 for the property in 1903.
By the Great Depression, the home had been carved up and filled with tragic stories. In 1935, a doctor on the fourth floor committed at the home. The following year, painter Michael De Santis died from a brain tumor just six months after moving in.
