so welcome back to the channel eric here and in this week's episode man
it sure feels good to say we are back in new york city about to tour this one-of-a-kind
13.5 million dollar townhouse right behind me here in the upper east side
so some stats on this home has four bedrooms four and a half bathrooms just over 4 500 square feet
of interior living space it was built in 1874 and this home just underwent a two and a half
year long dub renovation this is hands down one of the most beautiful town homes i've
ever seen in the city so make sure to stick around for this entire episode now before we
jump into this episode i want to give a huge thanks to the listing agent jamie verkicki at
nesseekers for letting us tour her one-of-a-kind listing and with that let's check out this home
now starting here with the exterior of this home i want to talk about the architecture this is a
beautiful example of a neo greek style townhouse now there's just about 1500 of these built right
off of park ave around the same time this was constructed but let's help the staircase and go
on inside so making our way on inside come on in this is your fourier entryway to this townhouse
the first thing i want to point out is this this is one giant slab of carrera marble which is used
to divide up the space this is so delicate there wasn't a contractor out there that would touch
this so they actually had to hire the art curator to ship this to the apartment and crane it in to
the space and i think this is beautiful behind me we have all this vertical storage here with
these seamless closets off of your entryway i just want to show you this welcome to the great
room floor here in your townhouse now there's a lot to break down off to my right this is again
that carrera marble going up the chimney of the fireplace these are all wood-burning original
fireplaces that have been totally restored on the floors below us we have white oak all the
walls are floating shadow trimless walls even the outlets here are built in seamless to this wall
now this space has been kept totally open concept the owners have an amazing art collection
and they really utilize this space to show off all there are here is your elevator in the townhouse
this is an original elevator so you even have the gate right here then there's all white oak
paneling in the elevator keeping with the theme of white oak on the floors below us this would be
your formal sitting room and this chandelier above us this is the original chandelier
from the space when this home was first built and i love how they kept the concept of that old
with the new because like i mentioned this was a total gut renovation over the course of two years
we have that additional wood burning fireplace here in the great room floor and we also have
a julia balcony off to the corner here looking over at the courtyard but i want to show you this
they have white oak on the walls and the ceiling here which leads into look at this a full bathroom
off of the great room this entire bathroom has carrera marble on the floors the walls even the
back of the store has curl marble you have the floating vanity with the brash fixtures that's
a theme throughout the entire space even above the rainfall shower head this is one of the most
beautiful bathrooms i've ever seen in the city and i love the contrast with the white oak and
that carrera marble making our way through this great room again i just love how grand and open it
is this is a very downtown chic feeling to a more traditional space like a townhouse in the upper
east side but from this floor we're actually gonna head down first making our way downstairs you
even have the original beams from the structure i love how they have the mix of the old and the new
right in front of us off of the stairway this is the first guest bedroom and it's a very decent
sized space here you have another wood burning fireplace with the original honed marble mantel
how cool is this it's just so regal and very old new york feeling if we do a little spin here
you actually have access to the front of the apartment here so this door opens up and leads
to the street but heading on back into this bedroom you have your walk-in closet here
and your ensuite bathroom again just like the one upstairs in that great room floor clad and
carrera white marble with all the brass fixtures floating vanity the works this is like classic
upper east side gossip girl-esque new york city living i'm actually gonna shut this though just
so no one wanders on in while we're giving this tour give it a nice lock so the hallway
which you have your stairwell off to the right leads back and then this is the second guest
bedroom in the space original fireplace you know how rare it is to have a wood-burning fireplace in
the city they're actually illegal now and you have i believe six in this entire townhouse which is
pretty awesome you have another ensuite bathroom this is a mirror image of the one that we just saw
you have your walk-in closet which has also been utilized as a nice little home office moment also
additionally in this bedroom we have access to outdoor space so this is pretty nice you have
your own little courtyard here viewers looking up all the greenery took the elevator but we are back
to the great room floor and you know just to show this tour i'm not gonna take the
elevator up to the next level we're gonna take the stairs to well you'll see in a sec

imagine waking up in the morning having your coffee here with the sun shining down
your living wall behind you that's just i say the word moment that's a moment because the
home you know it's really great to talk about the finishes and the materials and whatnot
but a home is about how you feel and the feeling in this home it's very minimal it's very clean
but yet it feels livable if that makes sense i'm a huge fan and there's still a lot more to
see so let's head up the stairs here and make our way to well you'll see this is floor number four
in the townhouse welcome to the owner's floor here in the townhouse you have the pocket doors
here right into the wall behind me this is actually the closet space and check this out
