    While glamorous and eye catching, as soon as the front door was opened and it was obvious all the antique wood trim was ripped out along with everything that made it a NYC brownstone, my heart sank. All those hard edges, no plaster, and nothing except the brick courtyard to harken back to the era it was built. To each his own.

      Or it’s an old money family. As for the closets older people purposely keep their closets basic & made out of cedar for bug/pest control. Having cedar closets reduces, if not eliminate, the need to spray pesticides and/or use mothballs. Somehow that fact has escaped common knowledge in the last 40 or so years. Before 1980 you’d never see a fancy house or mansion built without cedar closets. Most old trunks have cedar in them as well.

    I dont want to be the negative person, but this property makes no sense. 85million is a lot of money for a house. It really is. The interior designer did a nice work. But. While this is a completely NEW building, there is no parking, master bedroom has zero privacy, and the floor plan is very messy, especially i do no understand the random pillars, strangely shaped walls etc... (11:19 what is the box up there on the wall?) popping out all over the property. "Office" with no doors? Why? What kind of people are supposed to live there? A single guy in 8 floor house? If you have family, kids running around, do you really want to have an office with no doors across a game room?
    I seriously do not understand this kind of properties, what is the perfect buyer for something like this? A billionaire, who does not own cars and rides subway, has no family yet need 8 floor house with dozens of bedrooms, and does not care about privacy?

      There are good bits and there are not so good bits. On the whole I agree with what you said; a lot of the layout doesnt seem very well thought out at all. For me though, it's the garden. If I was wealthy enough, the whole reason for buying a house instead of a penthouse would be to have a garden. And I dont think being in close proximity to Central Park really makes up for that. You don't spend $85m on a property to then have to share your garden with the rest of the city.

      I think this house was designed by someone who's never actually lived in one. 85 million and they forgot the basics-like, where do you park your gold-plated Ferrari? And who needs privacy in the master bedroom anyway? It's overrated, right? Maybe the pillars are there to hold up my disbelief. As for the 'office' with no doors-because who needs to concentrate when you've got kids running around? I guess this place is perfect if you're a billionaire hermit with no cars, no family, and a deep love for playing hide-and-seek with your own sanity.

    BACKGROUND: "... Business exec Pierre Bastid and jazz singer Malou Beauvoir bought two townhouses - 48 and 50 West 69th Street, between Central Park West and Columbus Avenue - back in 2011 and 2012 for a combined $24.5 million. They had the properties demolished in 2018 and soon after that, complaints of dust and debris, excess noise, increased traffic, fumes and dead plants began accumulating. Some people actually moved. ... According to the Wall Street Journal, which was first to report the news, “Bastid said he had planned to make the house his primary residence, but that ‘world and personal events’ have shifted his attention to Europe.” A source also told the outlet that their decision to sell *_is connected to their recent divorce. ..."_** (Guess that solves the mystery of the exorbitant asking price: BOTH of them want ≈ double what was originally paid for it.)* 😂

      The background story definitely explains a lot of the design choices. As I watched the video I kept thinking that a house this huge just doesn’t seem to be set up for a family with children. The master suite is beautiful but the other bedrooms are all set up like guest bedrooms with no closet space leaving one to wonder where would a family with children store all the toys, kids clothes etc. Answer, they wouldn’t because the original design wasn’t meant for that. It was clearly set up for a couple that entertains and has no intention of having children or their children are grown.

    The house is gorgeous, but man, if I had 85M, I'd buy something with a lot of land so my dogs can run around free, I can take walks on my property and park my car(s) in a garage. Also, while I love the sight of those stairs, with my bad knees I'd probably only go up 1 floor and be done with it. 😅Good thing there is an elevator.
    I notice a lot of random seating areas in the house and I wonder if people actually sit all over the place. Even if you have guests, I expect them to sit with me so we can talk and not wander off in my house to go sit somewhere in some nook. I'd get rid of at least 50% of all the chairs and sofas.
    I'd expect glass walls and doors in the shower / tub areas. I really don't want to step out of the tub onto a wet floor (we all know that's going to happen, no matter how carefull your shower). Weird choice; minimalism favored over practicality and even safety.
    Seeing the penthouse, I kept wondering about the function of this house. The entire home seems to be meant for more than just one family, or maybe several friends living together? But all floors are connected so there is no privacy. Unless the floors can be closed off and we didn't see it? Now, it seems like everyone can roam around the house and find you hanging out on some chair or couch somewhere. The open plan looks odd to me. Living with your parents in their penthouse is one thing, but having no privacy because they can walk in anytime is another. Maybe the penthouse is for the butler and the maid or something? Still, I hope the floor can be locked.
    I miss an actual library. A home like that should have one.
    Lastly, 2 more floors underneath it all? Why? What on earth are you going to do with 2 more floors? Wine cellar, cinema and gym? There is plenty of room in the house to make all that on the existing floors if you get rid of all the random seating areas. I'm absolutely baffled.

    I read a lot of critics here. Personally, just for dreaming, I found this house one of the best in NYC.
    It's large, it has every kind of amenities, it has green, terraces, views.
    85M is huge amount of money but less than some penthouse for 100 or 200M to live trapped a thousand feet in the sky, with no opening windows, no terraces nor escapes.

    That's a beautiful brownstone house :) not surprised by the price tag though by the sheer scale of it I wonder how big it was originally though. I also think it might be a landmark or heritage home as well. I wish they would have kept more of the original interiors. The stairs and window seem to be the only bits. Thank goodness there is also a lift as well. it would suit a multi- generational family I think would make the cost spread over better. Well done Matt and Summer :)
