It’s spring and the onslaught of properties hitting the market has already started. Now sellers are getting serious and first time listings are entering with more reasonable prices from the get go, while those that have been sitting idle over the winter are being pulled then put back with changes in agents, lower prices, or both. The competition is going to be heavy.

Emeril (Bam!) Lagasse is no exception. He and his wife listed their elegant upper east side townhouse last November at $15m, but they too appear to be getting serious and have relisted it at $13.5m. The Lagasses purchased the townhouse in 2009 for $11.5m but we understand that it was redone throughout, likely accounting for the increase in price. That redo shows in every detail of the place where every nook and cranny is fresh, sparkling and clearly updated. But of course there’s the kitchen that has been overhauled to the point of making even Gordon Ramsay grin from ear to ear. It has everything a professional chef could desire, then double that.

Built in 1910, the townhouse has 6,900sf spread over six floors along with 1,000sf of terraces and an elevator to negotiate the distance. There are a total of 12 rooms, which consist of 5 bedrooms, 7 full baths, media room, gym, finished basement, wine cellar and solarium. There are 4 gas fireplaces, smart home technology, high ceilings, traditional woodwork, a security system and just about everything you would expect in cutting edge amenities and some you wouldn’t, like kitchenettes on some of the upper floors!
