[Music]
in this video we're going to give you a
tour
of our empty apartment it's a fully
renovated historic soho loft
with high ceilings and it really
captures that true spirit and the
essence of old new york
we actually just moved into the
apartment and we have yet to furnish it
so comment down below if you want to see
a full video
when the apartment is fully decorated
and with that
let's get into the tour welcome to the
apartments
this is the entryway you come into the
apartment through this elevator so the
elevator drops right
in to this landing and there's so many
reasons why we chose this specific
apartment and i'm gonna go through every
single detail because it's such a
thought out space
even right here when you walk in this
right here shoes off apartments
i love there's this closet when you
first walk in and every single door in
this apartment
is handleless so this is just push to
open
here is the coat closet when you first
walk in another thing that
we really loved about this place was how
high the ceilings are these are
nine foot ceilings in the entryway so
this is where we have
all of our coats some of my suits
you know the essentials then the
apartment flows down this gallery
hallway
it's a very deceiving apartment as
you'll see right off of the gallery we
have this
huge window and a wild hanna coleman
sitting here we have another bench and
there's additional storage
that's another thing in this place the
first time we saw we're like where's all
the storage
it is so thoughtfully designed right
here these drawers open up
this is the extra bedding for the guest
room which is right over here
and this guest room as you can see now
is serving as the home office
and this is actually a murphy bed this
sucker folds down to a queen-size
bed so this is where i get the majority
of my work done
when i'm home and then if we have guests
over it's a bedroom
in case you have a guest and you want
some privacy these are all handmade
walls which close off this entire space
so if you want some privacy you have
your guests over he's pocketing from the
wall
sliding on the ceiling then the entire
office or guest bedroom can be sealed
off from the rest of the apartment
tons of privacy that was a major thing
that we were looking for when we
found this space is to have a open
concept apartment but then it had the
option to
separate it off if you really wanted it
talking about storage space
there's closets pretty much everywhere
and i also love how high the closet
space is
like we actually needed a ladder to get
to this especially in new york city
everything is up so the fact that we
have that vertical storage is pretty
cool
from the office guest bedroom the
apartment then turns the corner here
and this is also pretty unique this is
the original door
from when this loft was a factory and
they left it as
is and this bad boy opens up to the
stairwell don't look at that we have
some of our garbage and dog food there
but that's the original
stairwell in this loft a lot of history
in this building
right next to the door we have kind of
the control system of the apartment
this is the virtual doorman here we have
the
heating and air conditioning and then
also here we have all the lighting
control
we've been in the apartment for three
days and to be honest with you i'm still
trying to figure out all of this
i've never lived in a place that has
controls like this normally the kind of
place that i live in
is switch on the wall to turn on the
lights i mentioned that this is a very
deceiving apartment
from the hallway the home opens up to
the 2
000 square feet of open concept soho
loft
living and we land right in the kitchen
passing into the kitchen we have this
half arch and because this is such an
old building
it's been entirely renovated so even the
heating pipes are hidden behind this
wall here
it's funny because i feel like i'm
giving a tour of one of my listings
rather than my home
i've never lived in a place this big i'm
talking my entire life from the time i
was born
till now this is the largest space i've
ever lived in
it's still pretty surreal but we're
gonna start touring the kitchen
with the details and here we have the
outlets which are all hidden
behind the lip of the countertop and
there's a two purse so there's 12
outlets
hannah loves to cook she can be in here
with her vitamix
the toaster the griddle all at the same
time because there's more than enough
space on this countertop to be
just whipping up all those delicious
meals that was a big reason why we chose
this place was because of
all the kitchen countertop for real
estate for cooking
this is pretty cool if you hit all
and then you hit down the shades are
built
in behind this wall and they're
motorized so you can choose if you want
to have all the shades go down at the
same time
if you want some privacy and that's it
oh no oh
it's gonna hit the flowers
you can take the flowers then
we mean what the hell i'm trying to give
a tour of our apartment here you're not
helping at all go to mommy
go to mommy go to mama here
yeah he's showing that he loves you
you're too big for her now
come on ceo is almost 90 pounds now come
on help me give the tour you're not
helping at all so let's try that one
more time we're going to select
all send them up no flowers to hit no
anything in the way just with the click
of a button let there be light
you know since we're looking up if you
look at the very top of the ceiling
you'll notice that black strip
that is actually the air conditioning
even something like the air conditioning
built in so seamlessly into the ceiling
of this apartment
another reason why hannah and i chose
this apartment was because of how unique
this kitchen is
i've never seen a kitchen anywhere not
in any architectural digest
no we're on pinterest anywhere a kitchen
that is so minimal
you've probably noticed there's really
nothing that you can see with your eye
when you first walk in here
other than this massive island in the
center this is calcutta lincoln marble
on the top of the island
and everything is built in to this main
island
normally in a kitchen you have a
standing refrigerator
this is the freezer in our kitchen
and here is the refrigerator i've never
seen drawers
for a fridge and a freezer we thought
this was so
cool the fact that it's just so
different from the norm especially in
our family it's been pretty
controversial our parents are like where
is your refrigerator
where's the freezer and we're like mom
dad it's right here it's built in
and even the burners are built into the
marble themselves which is
i mean to cook on a countertop that has
the burners built into the marble
i've never seen anything like this and
again we have that tony stark technology
the vent rises from the island
the classic tony stark technology in our
own apartment
it's pretty sweet i've never had a
dishwasher in an apartment in new york
city so having
a dishwasher i mean to not hand wash
dishes along with the dishwasher we also
have this huge deep set sink
another thing this building has is water
purification built
into the building itself so you can
drink this right from the tap
and then also over here this is
something that i've only ever seen in
places that i've toured for my channel
we have the wine chiller we don't drink
but we use it for
water chilling and we actually went and
got some of these glass bottles
you know you only see these typically at
restaurants in the city just so we feel
like we're at a restaurant every time we
have dinner
right into the water chiller that's
something i never thought i'd have in an
apartment in the city
onto this shelf this is really how you
can tell
for some perspective of how large the
ceilings are in here these are
13 foot ceilings i'm just like six
three and some change and i fit under
this shelf
and this shelf came with the apartment i
love this this is very industrial
it's a metal shelf hannah has her
cookbooks up here
if you remember from our last apartment
good old droop
has gotten massive over the summer but i
also love how now
it kind of breaks up the brick having
some nice green and some life in the
apartment
then on this side of the island we have
the four breakfast stools
i have my morning coffee here get some
work done then also on the far end of
the island
we have the pantry which is also built
in
to the island these drawers pull out
again i've never seen a pantry that is
built in
to an island it's really interesting
because when we first toured this
apartment
we kind of were asking ourselves where's
the storage and after moving in and
being in here we've realized that
this is pretty much the the average
storage that someone would have in their
kitchen
but it's so minimally designed and so
sleek
and just the fact the space is so large
it doesn't look like there would be
enough storage but there's plenty of
storage
from the kitchen one of the other things
you first notice when you walk in here
is this this is a 13
foot tall steel and glass door
which leads into the bathroom and this
is so unique for a loft
normally involves people tend to level
off the bathrooms
meaning they'll build space above for a
living and kind of the bathroom's a
second thought it's an afterthought
here the bathroom is i mean take a look
at this
this looks like a luxury hotel bathroom
the people who renovated this place put
so much thought into every inch
you can see even the wall of the
bathroom curves like a wave so they can
make room for the soaking tub
this is a five fixture bathroom the
proportions in this place you can even
just see like i'm a pretty tall guy
look how large this vanity mirror is
it slides open and even like i was
saying the storage goes vertical in here
like i can't even reach the top shelf
it's also cool how it is very modern and
sleek but yet they painted this red
this is the water main for the apartment
which you can see follows up on the
ceiling here
which leads to the shower and this is a
uh this is a rare one for me normally i
have to duck when i go into a shower
this is a 13 foot high waterfall
shower the first time i took a shower in
here it felt like i was actually outside
in a thunderstorm and this is pretty
cool here i mentioned that the storage
is kind of hidden throughout when we
first saw the place we didn't even know
that this was a closet
but this opens up and here is all the
bathroom storage
towels vitamins all those things and
again that top shelf we have to get a
stool
to reach up to that this bathroom also
has porcelain tiles
with heated floors bathrooms like this
i've only ever
seen in hotels or places i've toured but
to have this
in our home it's i still don't have
words for this
leaving the bathroom we're gonna head
back out into the kitchen segment of the
loft
and real quick i want to talk about the
exposed brick
this is another one of those features
where if you've seen tours on my channel
i'm always talking about exposed brick
it's classic new york city this is the
original brick from the loft it's one of
those places where you wake up every
single morning and you just you feel it
you feel that new york energy
just from something like a brick wall
another cool thing which you'll see a
bit later in the video at night
is this brick gets so well lit up
because there is a rail light
that runs the entire length of this
great room and at night you can really
see all the details come out in this
brick work
and this really is a dream apartment
this is something i've always wanted
in a house to have a brick wall like
this when we saw this place on the first
showing it was kind of an instant
this is the spot and the brick wall was
a major part of that
the wall outside the bathroom you can
see has this nice wave curve
that was done to fit the tub in there
and it's very rare that they did this
normally in lofts people just make them
very boxy
and the fact that the designers of this
made this nice wave
really breaks up the space because it is
one giant space
and we have yet to really figure out
what we're gonna put as far as staging
and furniture
comment down below what you think we
should put here we're definitely open to
input for the furniture of this place
because it's so much space and it's so
open
continuing down the loft we have this
awesome dining room table this is one
giant plank of wood
it seats eight people and this was left
here when we got the apartment
this is the only piece of furniture that
we have in here and this is stang i mean
this is so classic to have a massive
dining room table
very cool heading down the space from
the dining room this is going to be
the living room and this is such a
bright space
we have these huge nine foot windows
letting in all this light that's another
reason why we got this place
was just for the natural light it is so
well lit
we thought this was also very elegant
this is white oak which is being used to
cover
the radiator and also the floors are
white oak as well
and white oak is something when hannah
and i talk about our dream home
white oak is on the floor every piece of
this apartment
we felt was move-in ready there wasn't
anything that we really wanted to change
and even another cool feature that we
actually discovered
is right in here this is a drawer which
pulls out
we have the remote which has a tv built
in
hidden into this fixture here along the
wall this is crazy this is so cool
it's super important to both of us that
the tv isn't just right there on the
wall
and again this was a feature that we
didn't even see the first time we toured
this place when we were looking
to get the apartment we just discovered
this if you know us we're projector
people i haven't owned a tv in
probably seven years but now we have a
tv built in
that hides away another cool feature
here in what's the
living room are these handcrafted white
oak bookshelves these things are huge
and then this ladder here this was
handmade in
germany and this is the extent of our
book collection we have a few more books
in storage
but that's a goal of ours is to
eventually one day fill this entirely
with a book collection up these stairs
here
we have the loft which was designed out
so uniquely every detail was thawed out
even in the stairwell you have recessed
lights
so late at night if you're going to the
bathroom you're not going to trip and
fall
but up to the top of the loft this is
technically
the bedroom and we're still waiting on
our mattress
we have the queen mattress right now
even in the bedroom there are so many
details
we have the little nooks on the side for
your water your books
the wave theme goes throughout the
entire apartment i love how they didn't
just wall this off
they left it open to look down below and
then also you have this
built-in led strip which it looks pretty
cool in the daytime but wait till you
see this at night
and then as far as closet space again we
have more built-in
custom closets this is the first one
this is just where you know t-shirts
underwear shorts things like that
and again the closet was built to kind
of mimic that wave throughout the whole
apartment
and then this is the walk-in
closet still a bit messy just high
enough where i can barely fit in here
without hitting my head
even the fact that this is a loft and
there's a walk-in closet
it's pretty unique you'll also notice
that this is open down below which i'll
show you more in a second
heading down the loft there's still a
bit more to show and i mentioned that
the
walk-in closet was open down below this
is a giant plank of wood
which serves as a door which opens up to
see the closet above
but also the laundry room and i actually
have to duck a bit to go in here
comes with the territory of loft living
but this is the laundry room
we have full washer and dryer in here
which if you do live in the city
having washers and dryers in your
apartment in itself
is a luxury and then this is theo's room
i'm just kidding this is storage this is
what we have off our boxes
still moving in pretty messy but in time
that'll be where i keep
my bike my surfboard basically all the
toys to go have fun
when we do leave the city that's oh this
storage
gym equipment in here yoga mats things
like that
there were no corners cut when they did
the renovation here
and that's something we saw instantly
when we looked at this place we actually
came back three times before signing on
the dotted line just to really inspect
everything because there are so many
details
and i've only mentioned a few theo was
one of the main reasons why we opted to
get such a big
place it is 2 000 square feet so theo
was definitely a big
part of that decision just so we could
have room to to play around
and also the fact that hannah and i have
always dreamed about living in a loft
and life is too short we had the
opportunity so here we are
but also this place looks pretty cool at
night so i'm gonna go walk theo
we're gonna get some food and we'll come
back when the sun sets let's go come on
come on let's go
