Million Dollar Listing's Steve Gold Takes Us Inside an Extravagant Mansion in Gramercy | Open House

Every house has a story, with some more extravagant than others. Walk with Open House NYC as we admire the 28-foot wide mansion of Gramercy with agent and star of Million Dollar Listing NY, Steve Gold. When entering the home, you are greeted with a nod towards the Gilded Age and classic accents acquired since the 1950s.
