The duplex home, overlooking New York's Central Park, was built in 1925 and most recently owned by the late Prince Alexander Nikitich Romanoff and his wife Sicilian Princess Maria 'Mimi' Romanoff. Alexander was the late great-nephew of the last Russian Czar, and is widow Mimi remained at the prestigious 5th Avenue address until 2023.
