Holden Caufield Reincarnated

In this episode of "Real listings, imagined lives", a mischief-making adolescent visits his family's suburban home in Fieldston before high-tailing it to their city apartment in the Centrale. The Fieldston property, located at 4730 Fieldston Road, is a landmarked Georgian Revival house with approximately 10,000 square feet of interior space sitting on a 1.3-acre lot. Designed by Julius Gregory in the late 1920s, the listing notes the home has only been owned by two families. The ten-bedroom, seven-bath compound is on the market for $4.475 million.

The city home is a 58th-floor tower residence at The Centrale in Midtown East. The full-floor spread covers 2,756 square feet and has four-bedrooms and four baths. There is also a small terrace off the living and dining room. The home is listed for $10,500,000. Shared amenities in the building include a porte-cochere, a private dining room, club lounge, conference room, and wellness suite with Wright-Fit-designed fitness center, 75-foot lap pool, sauna/steam room, and spa treatment rooms.

In this series "Real listings, imagined lives," we take inspiration from real-life listings and overlay an imagined story. The traditional real estate listing descriptions are fictionalized to add fascination and a New York edge. The series envisions residents, neighborhoods, culture, and more around NYC homes for sale. New Yorkers are anything but ordinary, and so their home descriptions should not be either. So our stories take creative license and New York chutzpah to reveal the most interesting aspects of listings as we imagine the lives lived in these amazing homes and neighborhoods.
