As a Wall Street banker looking for a first apartment, Zar says he fell in love with how the mansion’s eccentricities were “worked into the apartments, rather than ripped out.” He bought a one-bedroom upstairs in 1987 and then a few years later bought the studio downstairs for the relatives he was always hosting.

And then there are the outer walls, thick enough to turn a bathroom window into a deep shelf and to mute the sounds of the street — transforming what was once the mansion’s loudest, busiest room into a kind of library. “It’s so private and so quiet,” Weiner says.
