Kuzmichev's quadruplex takes up a portion of the Atterbury Mansion, a landmarked structure built in 1901 between Madison and Park avenues. (The penthouse is owned by former Walt Disney CEO Bob Iger, according to the Post.)

A listing for the building boasts that it offers "the privacy and exclusivity of a single family home while offering all the conveniences of a full service condominium," including a chef's kitchen, private and public elevators, five bedrooms, and a parlor floor with 12-foot ceilings.
