DJ, influencer and entrepreneur Hannah Bronfman grew up far from the downtown scene, in a Beaux-Arts Upper West Side mansion.
It’s now on the market for $20 million — following a hefty $4 million price slash from Hannah’s mother, Sherry Bronfman.
The 35-feet wide, five-story, red-brick and limestone residence at 337 Riverside Drive is known as River Mansion, and was the site of this year’s Kips Bay Decorator Show House New York.
Philanthropist Sherry, a former actress 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 shares two children with Brendan Fallis.
Surrounded by an original iron fence, the corner home was built in 1902 and is one of seven Beaux-Arts mansions (from 330 to 337 Riverside Drive) collectively 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 suicide at the home. The following year, painter Michael De Santis died from a brain tumor just six months after moving in.
Edgar bought the home for $5.6 million in 1978.
The listing broker is Jonathan Stein of Douglas Elliman.
