I lived in the top floor apt of this house from 1987 - 2004. The owners & their son lived in the space presented in the video. It's been beautifully restored.
I'm always interested when I hear "restored" or "restoration", and get a sinking feeling when I hear "renovate". I'm glad the architectural history wasn't stripped. That primary bathroom? Omigoodness, I LOVE it! I love the moodiness, the, dare I say, sensuality of it. That's a space for grown folks.
Such a synergy of boldness and sensitivity - culminating in a beautifully sensed and rendered space to withdraw, to share, and importantly, to live in abundance, forward-facing and retrospectively. Bravo to those whose vision has made this a home that stands above all others! Thank you x
They certainly did a good job inside! My favorite parts were that kitchen and the primary bath. Interesting inspo! 😊 Can't change the location, but hey, it's still Brooklyn I suppose. 🙂
She should let designers speak more, mainly the one on the primary bedroom. Nice interior design restoration but a backyard with no greens? Location explains the price.
Beautiful, beautiful Brooklyn home! The only thing I would change is the bathroom colors (I know this is probably an unpopular opinion 😒) but I found the colors too dark/moody and almost depressing in the bathroom. I would prefer something lighter, brighter and “cleaner” looking…
Sound and technology date too easily, especially if built in. Better to have stand alone sound/tech that can be updated and replaced as newer, more advanced ones come on the market.
Ok trying to be constructive and not critical. At this price point please invest $100 or so of your own money if need be to cover electrical outlets, junction boxes, unfinished light switches etc. In the first few scenes you see all these wires cascading out of the base boards, the lamps plugged into exposed outlets, the light switch being open as soon as you walk into the kitchen. The big exposed wire under the cabinet in the kitchen. The whole tour all I can see in almost every space is exposed wiring. Rightfully or not it makes me question the craftsmanship of the work and what other corners were cut on the project. Just a strangers food for thought.
That's good constructive criticism. I thought I was the only one that saw the electric switch/thermostat(?) falling off the wall, left unfinished. I think they were in a hurry to put it on the market and didn't wait until everything was done properly.
As someone from UK I’ll never get used to the phrase “yard” when talking about a garden. Here a yard is a concrete area where you leave your bikes and tools etc. What’s wrong with the word garden?
Most American "yards" are lawns, meaning, almost entirely grass. A garden in the U.S. is something where you've planted flowers and/or small trees, and you tend it, weed it, mulch it, maybe you grow vegetables too. The "yard" in this house wasn't a garden or a lawn, it was completely covered in pebbles.
The entire home needs a different interior designer except for the kitchen and bathroom. The stove is great but need a luxurious appliance package. The deck need a lifted outdoor kitchen, with a seating area. A water feature and an actual fire pit in the couch seating area. I’d add some greenery and bring, getting rid of the gravel. The wood burning fireplaces need a wood storage feature . And you cannot be in New York without luxurious closet space, I’d do some slight redesign to the closet space.
@@JustinAdamsMD and the placement of the fridge is just wrong. It should be on the same side as the sink ... sink, stove and fridge should form a small triangle for ease of use.
@@SarahGoss-k1n The backyard is not that big - certainly not for a pool or sports feature. Better to have it landscaped and put some privacy hedges around the walls to cover those ugly fences. They made the property look cheap, low-rent.
I can't imagine wanting a black or navy bathroom. No matter how much exterior light you get, it just doesn't look good. How can you even see yourself properly in the mirror?
The most expensive properties all seem to have doubles sinks in the master bathroom. Couples want separate baths. otherwise you might as well put two toilets next teach other.
You won't get the whole house for the price ($3.6 million) if not in Bed-Stuy, which is now a fairly decent neighbourhood and you have to get in while it's still just "up-and-coming" and not fully gentrified.
