A Manhattan townhouse on the Upper West Side where jazz music icon, the trumpeter Miles Davis, regularly played music has listed for $11.5 million.

It was built in 1901 by architect C.P.H. Gilbert, who is known for his work on the Instagram-favored Cartier Building at 4 E. 52nd St.

Located at 311 W. 74th St., the townhouse was formerly owned by the founder of the Newport Jazz Festival and co-creator of the New Orleans Jazz Festival, George Wein.

Wein used the five-story property as his office — frequently playing not just with Davis, but also with Dizzy Gillespie.

Made up of seven bedrooms and seven baths, the residence occupies nearly 7,000 square feet.

Features include three outdoor spaces, including a roof deck, as well as a gym and sauna.

Steps to Riverside Park, the limestone and brick structure boasts a grand parlor. On the garden level is the eat-in kitchen with two Miele ovens and a breakfast nook. It also holds a bedroom/den with a decorative fireplace.
