The building, originally built in 1910s, was once home to New York Foundling, a child welfare agency that said it was using the money from the sale to support older children transitioning out of foster care.

Baker, who purchased the mansion under the LLC VILLAGEFH, has grand plans for the five-story building.

According to blueprints filed by the architecture firm, the home will be decked out with six bedrooms, complete with a dressing room and massive walk-in closet.

Other luxurious features include a game room, fitness room, internal courtyard, 50-foot lap pool, elevator, and a spiraling staircase lit by a skylight at the top.

The roof will also be transformed into a 4,000-square-foot terrace.

Baker runs Baker Brother Investments - which has a portfolio worth billions - and serves as the director at a number of biotechnology companies.
