- Versailles in Manhattan…Originally built in 1872 by John G. Prague, this 5-level Neo-Georgian townhouse is constructed in raked limestone and timeless red clay brick. The palatial 20 ft. wide townhouse welcomes visitors through a secure electronic gated front entry. Once behind the front door, a grandly scaled foyer welcomes visitors into the interior of the home. The sprawling parlor floor begins in the mirrored gallery as you enter this lavish level. The expansive 90 ft. deep parlor floor encompasses an English pine paneled library and beautifully proportioned living room which flows into a two-storied glass atrium. The formal dining room elegantly finishes this grand entertaining and living space. The house boasts museum quality materials and details. East 64th Street between Lexington and Third Avenues is lined with townhouses bordered by trees and historic bishop’s crook lampposts. Though not designated by Landmarks Preservation, the block is graced with period homes boasting bay windows, decorative pediments and Juliet balconies.

Whether or not one likes the aesthetics, design of the house shows someone who appreciates historic elements, which are in warm tones and are not gaudy.
While I’ll never have the money to own a home such as this, I’m happier knowing that I live in a world where such beauty exists.
Here, Here!!!
I’d feel it better about the beauty if millions of people had food, housing, and health care.
In truth, the people who did the work on the redesign, the people who sold the materials for the redesign and the people who will maintain the property when it's sold, all have food, housing and health care because of it.
Dale Mack In truth, probably all of those people are out of work today. They’ll loose their health care if they haven’t already. They may loose their houses. They may rely on a food bank for meals. But the owner of the home won’t loose a thing.
It always amazes me how blind people can be to the plight of others.
This house makes me want to party like it's 1899!
Brilliant , love your clever commit.
I see what you did there. Lol.
When it's time to party, we will party hard!
Very funny! :)
So lovely.
It reminds me of a french chateau. The dining room is gorgeous and the paintings too.

I have no idea how I got here, but I enjoyed looking. I love all the shades of green and gold in the house. You can appreciate a house without it being your style.
Funny I’ve walked past this residence several times I never would have guessed how it looks on the inside great tour
Good comment.
I loved this house especially since it wasn't covered up in white paint like so many other designers do. It's a beautiful house.
Phew, finally something besides a ‘tiny house’! Spectacular!
Mary Ellen Quinn Forget tiny houses - they are a waste of time and I’m sure they get old real quick! They probably have no resale value!
Wow even the window and latch are gorgeous!
absolutely gorgeous! i love how it hasn’t been changed and has not been modernized i would love a home like this.
Your home is absolutely beautiful. The workmanship and care with every detail is remarkable. Thank you for sharing such a lovely home.
It's like living in a castle in the city.......I simply love it.
Stunning, beautiful so elegance ! Congratulations; you did a wonderful work ! As Interior Designer it's a pride that you belong to our professions.
so elegant, alternatively, such elegance
Just beautiful. What an oasis in the city. Well done!
I’d like to spend my quarantine in this elegant townhouse!
ClassicRoyal 🤪
Very nice place to stay! hahahaha
The heated sidewalk and that roof terrace sold it for me.
Like who gives a f... about the environment. Let's just party till the end ;)
Snow is beautiful. And it doesn't lodge for long on New York streets. Seems like a ridiculous idea to heat the sidewalk.
Helenaville Snow often turns to ice right after it falls, at least it does here in the Northeast. So you would have a radiant heated sidewalk to eliminate excess ice/snow, or moisture and avoid having to walk or possibly slip and fall on ice. It’s a safety convenience. What if you have someone who is older or a handicapped guest who has trouble walking coming to visit your home on a snowy/icy day?
@@BionicWoman1975 Plus you don't have to shovel!!!
@@helenaville5939 Can I call on you to come shovel my sidewalk when it snows? You can admire the beauty while clearing a path.
What a beautiful, elegant and inviting home! Such an Impeccable and perfect treasure. Thank you giving such a memorable tour.
My favorite part is the dining room. It’s a blast into the 1700’s. Absolutely beautiful 😍
Three cheers for Mr. Brick, the interior designer and host of the video.
Well done, sir.
Especially love the bronze chandelier in the library.
I can't believe all the haters on here! This is a beautiful example of preserving the homes 19th century heritage. It would be the height of tackiness to go in to a home from this time period and and rip everything out so you can replace it with glass and metal everything; furnishing it with sleek, modern, minimalist, contemporary art and furnishings. I prefer traditional interiors myself but I have an appreciation for all styles of interior design when they are appropriate for the home. For people to be so small minded that they can't appreciate any other style other than contemporary is really foolish. America should value it's history more like Europe does. In America everything is just torn down and replaced rather than preserved and celebrated. Very sad!
Blanca W T H A N K Y O U !!!
No one suggested ripping out the 19th century details--that would be shameful. It's just that the result looks like some russian oligarch's idea of a classy home.
You are so wrong!
Not a home.
狗屁
I am so glad somebody still has good taste. In the last 18 years everything has become so primal. Thomas
To Be Honest you’re probably a fan of all that hideous modern decor, with no class, taste or style...
Taste is subjective, The house looked heavy and overdone.
LadyEquipped I am also a minimalist in many aspects of my life. But I appreciate a residence that looks like people actually live in it. The current trend towards sterile stark white with endless bare surfaces only remind me of an operating room. This house’s decor and furnishings invite me to sleep on the beds, to sit on the chairs - to live there and bask in comfort.
if I see anymore gray I'll scream and gray is my favorite color
This magnificent house evokes a really good taste of living. Spectacular!
Absolutely stunning! Thanks for sharing!
I can't get over the guest bedroom.. WOW.. elegance. What a home to enjoy!
This is what you call the icing on the cake. It’s absolutely charming!
Thank you for posting. Viewing this home left me breathless but my soul felt right at home. Beautiful!
I’m amazed at some of the comments of all the many “experts” (no doubt) on taste. As someone who’s had the privilege of being exposed to some of the most beautiful homes in the world, I find this one absolutely exquisite. Well done.
Haven't had the privilege of being exposed to even one negative post on this video.
A preemptive scold?
look out people with an opinion a REFINED EXPERT of OPINIONS is here
This house is not my style
But i cannot help but say that this house interior is gorgeous
Nice. I especially like all the gardening. I had always thought of NYC as concrete. I like how this destroyed that myth. Beautiful home. The outside lighting at night is inviting.
Lots of nice elements.
Oh the garden terrace 😍 ... what a lovely home.
It's just lovely and please don't think I'm crazy but the ceiling in the elevator is my favorite 💕
Shelly Rae Wow, me too!
When my children and I walk around, I always show and teach my daughter about these structures which are beautiful, BUT new modern construction is killing the history.
It's something you have to take your time and take it all in. BEAUTIFUL
Very beautiful. Reminds me of my hometown row homes in Madison, Indiana. Same era of architecture I imagine, early 1800s. We also have three story spiral staircases in many homes. Lovely.
This is literally my dream house!
3 words; GORGEOUS GORGEOUS GORGEOUS
My favorite space in the house is the fabulous roof top terrace.
Mine too!!
Growing up in Shaker Heights as I have, I find your design lovely! Many choose not to inundate themselves with bright light having spent many hours of the day out in the outside world. Classical music, dim lights with a nice glass of brandy by the stone/Mahogany fireplace is a good end to a long day. Most have never even seen let alone been in a home with a solarium (like most contemporary style loving tree huggers) Wallpaper? That's an expression of those who live there, like paintings on the wall, damned the ones who don't understand it! Just go back to your cold white living spaces designed by Ikea.
But Shaker Heights is the epitome of nouveau riche midwestern bad taste!
Gates Mills here and I agree, Borbala Equestrian.
Some people can only afford cold white living spaces designed by IKEA. 🤪
@@sms5807 do you know Shaker Heights? Geraldo Rivera has left NYC to live in Shaker Heights recently.
@@Wkkbooks Only people who live in Ohio think that living in Shaker Heights makes them something special.
Beautifully well kept...Contrary what many think, not every home needs too much modernization and updates...I am glad to see homes with timeless decor, beautifully detailed wood work, stone work, demonstrating pure craftsmanship very well!
I watch this whenever I feel like slacking off in school.
Love the heated pavement that melts the snow. Bonkers.
What an absolutely amazing town home. It would be a beautiful home for the 5 day work week.
a house is not a home
You had me at “Three silver and china closets”!!! I also love all the beautiful architectural details!
Love how each room is it's own work of art. And W O W that roof terrace. I'm in love!
Congratulations, this truly is a masterpiece.It is worth every penny.
Absolutely beautiful!
I love the garden..
Beautiful ... this tour is the next best thing to being there. Thank you.
I love the dining room, the library, and the outdoor terrace. Gorgeous!
A fine home, a great place to relax. (Thanks for sharing this video.)
I’m amazed at how perfectly designed the space is, because it could seem stuffy with all those pieces and the classic design. A lot of thought went into that home. It is light, spacious, and above all comfortable.
What an absolutely stunning home.
The original detailing is extraordinary.
roof terrace - oh my - incredible ... (the bar is amazing, as well!) - what a talent to make house look so inviting and beautiful!
Oh dear...very 1980's but obviously top of the line. Some original features are great though and great fireplace, plus stunning chandelier.
Who would you guess is the musician owner? From Broadway or opera, I wonder.
very much not 1980’s, a lot of original features from the 19th century
Elegance rarely seen anymore. A nice change from all the zillion-dollar contemporaries that are so ubiquitous. That roof deck is spectacular!
Absolutely spectacular. Thank you for sharing!
Somehow this video keeps coming up in my favourites--and when it does, I watch it time and time again. I have to say, Ron Brick is an amazing interior designer.
I can appreciate his balance of function and respect for historical details and period furniture. This home is elegant and still feels welcoming. I can see myself
entertaining in the dining room with dinners lasting well over 3 hours. You'll be invited, Ron! Great video. Thanks,
Darryl
P.S. And you know how to properly pronounce "foyer".
Very nice indeed. I like the fact that this chap has incorporated some very choice period light fitments to enhance the period of the building.
I've walked by this townhouse on occasion. Nice to see the interior.
You have done a splendid job!
Everything I thought it would be! Absolutely beautiful,elegance beyond words. It is shuddering to the imagination. Fortunate enough,,,yes. Thank you for sharing this spectacular home. Peace be there always.🙏🏼
A celebration of past centuries' handmade objets et processus! Luxes visuels 💋
In a country were realtors looks like hookers, superficial, snobs, wannabe.....this is a truly gentleman. Like this realtor!!!
I frequently walk on this street. It’s interesting to see what lies behind the gate. Love the terrace! 😊
Gracie Silk Mural in the Entrance. Hand painted......Magnificent....love the Brunschwig & Fils wallcovering in the Kitchen...this is reflection of our Design layouts, many at one time...absolutely exquisite>>>>FINE INTERIOR DESIGN>>>>>ENJOY>>>I AM LOCKED IN TO THIS RESTORATION....PERFECTLY EXECUTED AND THANK YOU FOR THIS BEAUTIFUL TOUR. HATS OFF TO YOU>>>>CONGRATULATIONS..... MAGNIFICENT !!!
This is an amazingly done almost fully Victorian apartment. Keep it up.
Superbly designed. Thoroughly enjoyable tour.
Lovely indeed! I've walked by many times on my daily walks in NYC.
Oh my goodness. How beautiful! Just like a dream. I love it!
Everything is beautiful! I love this street too :)
400 lbs chandelier "above my head". Indeed.
Love the dining room and library
What a beautiful home.. Heavenly
Beautiful walk through#163. I love it. Breath taking views.
A lot of the decorating is classic, which is different from old fashioned.
Having said that, I still think it needs refreshing, mostly in the window treatments.
Yes. I love the place but the master bedroom drapes were too dark and heavy. But honestly, thats all I would change.
This is one of the best executed interiors I have ever seen. It is elegant yet understated. Usually, design leans too fustian, with charlatans feigning inspiration running the show. Here, nothing is too ostentatious. You have a balance of styles that just feels right for home.
naeheworkforce Understated?? Are we seeing the same place??
Goodness me it's like you had your eyes closed during this clip. it's bloody hideous.
This comment reads like a poorly written piece of AI, thesaurus, mumbo jumbo feigning high intellect. The townhouse features many ornate details showcasing European influences. That plus the dated use of classical music in the background makes this much more emblematic of the stuffiness one associates with Old Money WASPS of the UES than the understated minimalism associated with Modernist, Scandinavian, or Japanese designs.
The music room is to die for! AND THAT BAR!!!😁
This designer has exquisite taste!!!
Aristocrat type of feel!!!
👏 Bravo
As an interior designer myself I have to say this home is done with great efficacy for reflecting a conservative style. Nothing is hugely outside the realm of the Neo-Georgian aesthetic besides the entry foyer. I didn’t watch it from start to finish, I skipped here and there, but it’s well done for preserving the *essence of the 1870’s.
You may not like this style but that’s personal taste. Just because you don’t like it doesn’t mean that it isn’t well done or lovely. All of you minimalist loving trash should go elsewhere if you don’t like the historic aesthetic. It’s that simple. You’re all bland af anyway wanting the same beige, open floor plan, steel and glass crap.
Hear, hear! ❤️
I wonder how many times my apartment fits into it! I'm green with envy
It’s absolutely gorgeous, I love everything and I can just imagine the music being played in that gorgeous room. 😘
love it! What a lovely respite from the sleek and industrial feeling of the city!
This is a true definition of "Town House", not the cookie cutter homes we see today. There are many true "townhouses" in NYC, even uptown in the brownstones in Harlem, Brooklyn, and the Bronx. Of course, they are not all at this level, but they are townhouses just the same.
The "town houses" today are built like tents compared to this. There is no comparison. Most other towns that have what they love to call townhouses, are nothing but vinyl, plastic and pressed wood...not worth the ground they sit on.
Brooklyn isn't uptown.
IN URBAN NEW YORK IS A TRUE WONDERFUL PLACE FEEL LIKE HOME NOT JUST JOB PLACE HAVE IN MANY NEW YORK HAUSE WONDERFUL
Love a fine traditional home. So tired of the boring white modern box. Thank you for sharing.
Stunning. I could only dream of even visiting such a place as this.
People! Its supposed to look "old" . Its an older style from a period of elegance and grace. Pottery Barn - ugh.
I'll take pottery barn thank you. I understand it's staying true to a certain period, but I just can't see a person from this time living there comfortably.
Anna Wnuk I love it.....I hate today’s styles....this decorator is spectacular
@@Dirtnap1986 well DirtNap says it all.
Lol- Pottery Barn ugh: I could not agree more!!
The problem is that it doesn't... it looks like someone without knowledge and taste tried to make it look old. The foyer murals look like from the 80s - the 1980s, not the 1880s.
Narrow like a train,lots of stairs,nice woodwork.
Wow! They had me at the heated sidewalks. Really beautiful.
Exquisited home and house icon for elegant.
A bit stuffy for my taste. The heated sidewalk outside impressed me most.
Everyone has each own taste. I think each rooms are beautiful but the house don't have cohesiveness. It is also too busy. I think for him, it works but for most people it doesn't.
isshinish I take it you like a more sleek contemporary/modern decor?
It works for me!
All I can say is WOW ! I am lost for words.
Elegant blend of old world and new A true Gem for a Gentleman and his Lady
Just a little nicer than my place, HA Ha!
Quite pleasant Not overdone
Classic, tasteful, with restraint. Still looks like a home. Well done.
The Lalique style window of the North Wind so unique and just one of the exquisite features.
How obvious by some of the comments below that so many people viewing this magnificent home video have the taste of pigs and would be much happier and much more suited to live in a cheaply built tract house in Topeka.
Exactly. Sad. Someone said they prefer Pottery Barn! Ha!

The place itself is amazing and decorated with so much care for detail, I'm sure to the owne's taste, but...yes, there is a but... if I were to live there I would change the bar's and music room color and Fragonards, so common you find them printed even in 99¢ decorations, take away some of the stuffy wall sconces, window treatments, and bedroom duvet covers and replace them with something more inviting such as Pratesi. Loved the library, kitchen and some of the wall coverings that would go well with other prints in materials besides those ultra classic ones, Basically I would refresh it a little without taking away from the superb quality the place already has. Ahh, excellent idea to have radiant heating in the sidewalk.
Eclectic is what comes to my mind first. I love it. Very nice atmosphere. Beautiful.
Foster Cat THANK YOU!! FINALLY Someone who understands design! My design style is Eclectic.
Not quite my style but the interior is impeccably done. Beautiful home!
The "library" is a nice room, but where are the books?
that's what the rich people call the smoking room
One little bookshelf. I would add several more. Of course that would make the room much more "dark" and cause several people commenting on here to turn up their noses in disgust.
And where is the desk?

House looks like a fucking museum.
Stunningly beautiful! Very cozy, elegant, lavish. Just my style. I could be very happy here. ☺️
THANK YOU! Your appreciation for the home and willingness to adorn it without desecrating the architecture, as is so common today. Again, thank you! Now if only I could afford such luxurious surroundings. *sigh*
