A historic Upper East Side townhouse that comes with its own salt-water pool is about to hit the market for $18 million.
The five-story, neo-Federal-style manse at 17 E. 74th St. is owned by Sandi Feinberg, the “sexy” widow of the feisty philanthropist Herbert Feinberg who — at age 88 — sued Apple to stop it from opening on Madison Ave. (out of fear that it would bring “undesirables” and long lines to the posh block).
Mr. Feinberg, a World War II vet and vintner who imported Stolichnaya vodka from Russia and traveled there during the height of the Cold War, died last year at age 94.
The couple bought the 20-foot-wide, 10,175-square-foot townhouse for $2.5 million in 1989, listing broker Alexis Mintz, of Fox Residential, tells Gimme.
They then spent three years renovating it, adding perks like an indoor pool and tricking out its 1,925 square feet of outdoor space.
Details include a wood-paneled elevator, a winding staircase, a planted garden and a roof deck.
The mansion was built in 1869 by Joseph Freedlander but it features modern touches like an eat-in chef’s kitchen — along with classic details, like a large living room with windows overlooking 74th Street, a wet bar and a formal dining room with a woodburning fireplace.
The main bedroom suite takes up the entire third floor and features another fireplace, a dressing area and lots of closets. The lower level showcases the limestone heated pool, a Jacuzzi, lounge area and a gym.
Below that is a basement level with a temperature-controlled wine cellar. The townhouse is currently owned by Henri Partners, LLC.
The late Mr. Feinberg and his brothers ran the spirits company Monsieur Henri Wines until they sold it to PepsiCo, which was doing business in the then-Soviet Union, in 1972.
He was also known as a garment mogul who invented the first seamless panties.
The Post dubbed his daughter Candice Lalicata, “the underwear heiress” after she sued her husband Steven for $10 million, accusing him of raiding her trust fund of $744,000 to lavish luxury gifts on his mistress. (He told her the cash was to pay off mobsters.)
