Tylenol heir Hank McNeil first listed his Delancey Place mansion in June 2013 for $8.2 million. After a brief time off the market, he has listed the 8,800-square-foot home again with a significant price cut.
McNeil is now asking $5.9 million for the Rittenhouse Square gem on 19th and Delancey.
The cube-shaped, red brick home was written about in the Wall Street Journal last year soon before it hit the market. According to the article, McNeil bought the home in 2003 for $1.3 million, and completely renovated the interior to give it a modern look. He knocked down walls to create three rooms on the main floor, and installed glass doors, skylights, and a Bulthaup kitchen.
Inside, the home is "filled with one of the leading collections of minimalist modern art in the country," Nancy Keates wrote in the WSJ article. McNeil displayed more than a dozen wall drawings and sculptures by renowned artists.
The Neo-Georgian home, built in 1800, has five bedrooms and seven baths.
Standout features include an elevator that is accessible to all five floors, a master suite with a double-sized walk-in dressing room, and a kitchen and guest apartment on the lower floor.
McNeil also previously owned 1914-16 Rittenhouse Square, known locally as McIlhenny Mansion, which was sold to Bart Blatstein last year.
Blatstein has planned a four-story, 47-foot-high addition for the property. Demolition work began in August of this year.
