Dr. Zizmor has officially retired and ended his practice on dermatology at the Upper East Side. News also broke out that the Mediterranean Revival mansion of Dr. Zizmor in the Fieldston section of the Bronx, has gone into contract after three years on the market, with a $3.075 million price tag.
The doctor first listed his 7,000-foot residence for $4.3 million in 2012. The price of the mansion was cut several times before reaching its current list price of $3.075 million. Zizmor told the New Yorker back in 2003 that he planned to use the mansion for world peace. "We are going to invite people who hate each other, and they will spend a weekend together," Zizmor said.
Built in 1928, the home was designed by Dwight James Baum, who brought the Mediterranean Revival style all the way from Sarasota, Florida, where he worked for the Ringling family in building homes.
According to 6sqft news, the property has seven bedrooms, six-and-a-half baths, and a sun room that opens to a European-style courtyard, with features of a koi pond, built-in seating, a play area, and a variety of trees, shrubs and flowers.
The home features a thick masonry and stuccoed walls, which keep the house cool during summer time and warm during winter with the two working fireplaces.
The master bedroom is located upstairs and is adjacent to a reading room. It features Juliet balconies overlooking the garden.
Dr. Jonathan Zizmor, whose colorful ads have graced the subway of New York City since the 1980s, has retired from his practice on dermatology. His retirement coincides with another milestone, his mansion in the Fieldston neighborhood in the Bronx, which has been listed on the market since 2012, has now gone into contract, as reported by the Real Estate Watch news.
Zizmor's mansion was first listed on the market with an asking price of $4.3 million. After several price cuts, it entered a contract of $3.075 million.
