Russell Wilson Tours $29.75M Gilded Age Mansion in NYC
UPDATE: New York Giants backup quarterback Russell Wilson has just toured a stunning Gilded Age mansion on the Upper West Side, currently listed at $29.75 million. This comes shortly after Wilson signed a one-year, $10.5 million contract with the Giants, following a challenging season with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Wilson’s mansion exploration is generating buzz, especially after the Giants’ rocky start to the season. After losing their first three games, Wilson is under pressure but remains buoyed by the support of his wife, Ciara, and her A-list circle. Ciara recently shared on Apple Music’s “Level Up Radio” that Wilson is keen to stay connected with her glamorous life.
The property, located at 349 W. 86th St., boasts a rich history, previously owned by an exiled Russian prince, Sergei Belosselsky-Belozersky, and transformed into a headquarters for the House of Free Russia from the 1940s to the 1990s. The mansion was last on the market in April, having previously been listed for $50 million in 2013.
Originally purchased by Randall Jackson in 1999 for $1.4 million, the mansion underwent extensive renovations. Once abandoned, it now features an impressive facade with Doric columns, Roman brick, and ornate ironwork. The seven-story home includes eight fireplaces, a grand foyer, and an elevator, making it a luxurious haven.
Inside, the home is designed for both relaxation and entertainment, featuring a chef’s kitchen, formal dining areas, and a screening room. There’s ample space for a large wine collection and a stunning rooftop garden, perfect for family gatherings. Wilson and Ciara, who share three children—Sienna Princess, 8, Amora Princess, 1, and Win, 5—could find this location ideal for their growing family.
As the search for a new home unfolds, fans are eagerly watching Wilson’s next move in the Big Apple. The property’s listing broker, Lydia Sussek of Douglas Elliman, has not commented on the ongoing interest.
Stay tuned for further developments as Wilson navigates both his NFL career and potential new residence in New York City.
