Itzhak Perlman has sold his NYC townhouse for $8.18M — with large entertaining areas and an indoor pool

No strings attached to this deal! 

Violin virtuoso Itzhak Perlman and his musician wife Toby Perlman have sold their historic, turn-of-the-century Upper West Side townhouse for $8.18 million, according to city property records filed on Monday afternoon.

That’s less than half of the home’s original $17.5 million asking price in 2022.

The elegant residence, at 21 W. 70th St. just off Central Park West, comes with its own pool and sauna.

It’s where the Perlmans — who are also the founders of the Perlman Music Program for gifted young string musicians — raised their five children. The listing was last asking $11.9 million.

Itzhak Perlman, an Israeli-American who won 16 Grammy Awards and four Emmy awards, along with the Presidential Medal of Freedom, is known for his brilliant breadth of work, which includes performing the haunting solo violin passages in the Oscar-winning score for “Schindler’s List.”

At 20 feet wide, the 8,000-square-foot dwelling is aptly close to Lincoln Center. It comes with five to six bedrooms, five baths, four powder rooms and six fireplaces — along with 1,500 square feet of outdoor spaces featuring a roof deck, a landscaped terrace and a garden. 

Design details through the home, which was built in 1901, include the generous use of bold, happy colors like yellow, intricately patterned hardwood floors and lots of custom woodwork.

On the parlor level, a gracious layout includes 12-foot ceilings and a great room, while the main floor eat-in chef’s kitchen is extra large and anchors the property. There’s also plenty of room for a concert-sized grand piano — as well as a light-filled dining room with skylights and access to the garden, plus a wood-paneled library.

The Perlmans loved raising their kids on the Upper West Side, but they are empty-nesters now and it’s time for the next family to build their dreams here, friends told Gimme Shelter.

The listing brokers were Richard Steinberg, Alexander Mignogna and Charles Beda, of Compass.
