Manhattan real estate prices have always been crazy — but a wealthy Russian banker has discovered that $57.5 million won’t even buy you a whole East Side mansion.

The banker closed on the $42 million deal for 33 E. 74 St. last week — but just for the first four floors of the seven-story condo building.

The buyer of the 10,088-square-foot, five-bedroom, five-bath unit in the building, known as the Atterbury Mansion, was not identified, but The Post has learned he is Alexei Kuzmichev.

But more than 10,000 square feet apparently wasn’t enough room for Kuzmichev — who also bought an additional three-bedroom, 3,800-square-foot unit for $15.5 million in the building immediately to the west of the Atterbury Mansion.  

Size Mattered: Upper East Side Mansions of the Gilded Age Retain Their Cachet

A tour of the mansion at 12 East 79th Street reveals a building caught between two worlds. There are, of course, the home’s historic roots. It was built between 1901 and 1903 as part of a 56-foot-wide pair of houses for Charles W. Ogden, a millionaire who made his fortune in real esate, and his sister Mary. Matching façades decorated with brick, Ionic porticos and limestone trim meant to reflect the family’s wealth—such details remain intact to this day. Also intact inside Mr. Ogden’s abode, at No. 12, are elaborate plaster designs on the ceiling, a salon spanning the 28-foot width of the house and oval, wood-flanked meeting room.
