This series should be for across America! I'd love to see old places in NOLA. There is something about exposed brick that is a vibe. Thank you for this episode. It made my evening.
I must admire a realtor with this much focus to avoid all the distractions around him (mostly scary and/or revolting) and at the same time remain diplomatic and tactful with his comments about the "decor". 😮
I think the decor is stunningly eclectic, there is nothing scary or revolting about it. To me it is the most inspired and beautifully decorated house I have seen in years. It shows a true eye for colour and design. I could never achieve that look in my own home. It shows what can be done positively with money.
Goes to show most Real Estate Agents only truly care about the money and not what they’re selling you 😂 but he definitely has one of the better shows out there
Bentley/Rolls Royce I used to think it was the same thing too. Like Bentley was a model within the Rolls Royce line of cars. I doubt he is a New Yorker who doesn't drive or know anything about cars. I think he just made a mistake.
15:59 that is called samovar, it's a russian word that means water boiler. It's made to boil water for tea. And widely used in Russia, Central Asia, Middle East, and Eastern Europe. 8:17 looks like those are ancient clay jars from the middle east. Or maybe a replica made by the artist. 12:54 those look like replicas of the prehistoric figurine called "venus of willendorf", anthropologist believe that, they may be used as a fertility symbols. 13:19 not quite sure but looks like ancient Egypcian male fertility figurines, or replicas of it. Also loved all of those beautiful persian rugs. This tour was a feast for my eyes. Looking forward for another tour of a historic place, (especially nyc townhouses).
Я из России и у меня был самовар, то что показано в видео возможно одна из разновидностей самовара ( по конструкции можно предположить что эти ёмкости нагревали с помощью спиртовой горелки), в классический самовар в одно из нижних отделений закладывались горящие угли...
i'm not Russian, I'm Iranian from my father side. When i was a child in the 80's and early 90's, my family had an electric samovar. And i remember my grand parents had a coal burning samovar. And you are right, that in the video might be an alcohol burner one. Nobody uses them anymore. But those can still be found in antiquity stores to use as a house decor. @Оставьтекомментарий-ф4т
I might be in the minority, I usually am, but I love this house and everything just the way it is. My own house now has every inch of wall space used for art. I like this vibe, I've seen this house before in another tour, and I haven't been able to forget it. The garage, with the vintage Rolls Royce, the incredible green garden, and of course the art collection. I would only replace the personal art, returning it to the owner, or to her museum in Isreal. I would love a tour by the owners before living here so I could do the story of the pieces in the home justice. I would feel warm, cozy, and enveloped in time and history here. It's not easy to visually overwhelm me with eclectic objects, but this home fascinates me with its abundance. I'm definitely the target person for this lush and special home. These landmarked homes are so spectacular, especially in a time when homes are becoming sterile, uninviting, and cold. Thanks for this cool glimpse at another way to live in NYC.
I actually like the artists enjoyment of all art. You can see by their style that it’s more about a celebration of what they love. I like a lot of the older elements as well.
This is absolutely stunning. A true testament of the phrase "one person's trash is another person's treasure". The backyard is beyond anything I've seen in NY. A true artistic oasis with traditional charm.
Pulling the car inside is super cool; but gotta be able to close off the parking area to maintain temperature and more importantly keep out exhaust fumes.
Absolutely love this series. The architecture is one of a kind, and there was pride behind their craftsmanship. Thank you for sharing the historical beauty that is sadly not shown enough.
I was going to post the exact same thing! Surely they must have loved each and every piece and without doubt it must have taken a lifetime of traveling, going to yard sales and estate sales to amass such an eclectic artwork collection. It's not my taste as its too cluttered but at the same time it's very interesting and has its own story to tell for all who see it!
I absolutely love the exterior of this townhouse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The fact that the width of a townhouse like this has a garage is amazing! We love your touring style Erik!
If you can spend over 20 million bucks on a town house you dont worry about the 1000 dollars for a parking place. The fact the house comes with a parking space already bumps its price up with more than a million. thats 83 years worth of parking. (and its probably more than a million dollar premium)
look at the google map reviews of commercial garages in NYC and tell us how you would feel about how your classic Rolls Royce would be treated by these savages. A private garage is a million dollar convenience especially one who appreciates fine automobiles. also an incredible perk for art and furniture movement, bicycles and a host of other needs. also you always have an open space to drop off, pick up, or park in front of. and of course endless entertainment of calling tow truck to attack the stupid peasants that try and park for a quick stop, this alone would be reason enough, i would have tow parties. the must invite of the Year!
One would need to push the car out before you start it. If you started a car in that space everyday for years the house will smell of exhaust. I'd say they had the car more as an art piece rather than a daily driver. I could be wrong though.
OTT in the most priceless way. Selling the home as is art included makes sense to the “loaded” owners seems they’re able to wait for a buyer with similar tastes. Good for them, the love shines through in each floor, each room n each space that’s a whole lotta luv. Thanku for sharing those excellent feelings.
I LOVE this series! This was just what I needed on my Saturday morning; ornate and interesting art and architecture to touch the soul! I absolutely love what YOU brought to the tour...a sense of intrigue and wonder that speaks to your authenticity. Thank you for bringing us into this enriching and interesting environment!
I would love to see you have an Architect walk with you to point out features and what it would cost to recreate that in today's society. I am sure their are lots of Architects, Contractors, Builders, and Designers that would love to join you on these tours. Loved this tour this is a great concept! :)
Erik, this episode is a gem. My wife and I Have been following you with my kids Yianni and George (9) and (12) since Covid. Please keep up the great work with this style content.
I love it. The art is different but every artist needs their space to support them. If it’s not for you, it’s cause your personality doesn’t reflect the space. Most will change it but I see where she was going with the art. Beautiful townhouse
I love old NYC. The green areas outside are lovely, including the roof. It's a little thin for me, but it's a cool old building. The views of old new york are really something special. I would love to go to a party there. Artists can be very eclectic, which makes them interesting. Great tour and great new series!
Yes that is my opinion too. I think the house itself is very beautiful and unique but there is way too much clutter for my taste. I think it ruins the beauty of the house.
the statues in that bedroom are crazy lol. pretty amazing NYC property though. i really like it. i would probably do some extensive renovations in the interior, but the location is fantastic. thanks for the tour as always, Erik!
It's a beautiful home, it's just feels like you could star in your own horror film as someone breaks in and uses something off the walls to harm you. Too crowded, busy, and cluttered.
I don't think the layout is particularly nice either, nor the interior design tasteful. It has some nice parts, such as the solarium and the backyard, but it is not well designed as a whole.
The Saint John the Baptist sculpture, as well as the engraving on the side of the SJB school, are absolutely beautiful. Thank you for featuring them, Erik. Saint Jean Baptiste Roman Catholic Church around the corner is simply gorgeous. Saint John the Baptist, ora pro nobis.
I like these reviews of historical buildings much more than the new ones. They may not have the charm or layout desired in modern times, but this contains so much more soul.
The pieces for the “front of a ship” are actually cornices that go on each side at the top of a doorway & could date back to before the 1400’s! Besides the fascinating artwork, someone must have been heavily into archeology. Just amazing house! (P.S. You just insulted the Rolls Royce by calling it a Bentley, 😂
@@erikvanconover They’re all over Europe & the UK. I’ve seen them in Germany, Austria, Luxembourg, London, & Edinburgh, but I was told they originated in Europe hundreds of years ago. Don’t quote me on it, but I think they’re called cornerstones, but I’ve also heard them called cornices. (Not sure the latter is correct.) Sometimes there’ll be a large fancy one over an arched doorway in the middle, but there are far more used at each corner of tons of buildings. Their use goes back to at least the 14th century. Many have significant meaning, such as images of saints, heroes, a famous local, etc. If I can locate a photo, I’ll come back & post a link.
I’m speechless . It’s unique and the lady that owns it is also unique . The building is unique the location is unique . It’s priceless and we didn’t see it at night . As that different ambience with people around . Wouid just be again unique ….. it’s a wonderland and the black rolls Royce to boo …. What a incredible woman . She’s saturated herself into life . BRAVO 👍
They definitely filled the house with things they love and you really can tell the personality of the owners just by looking at it. I wouldn’t have made the same decorative choices, but it’s a beautiful house nonetheless.
Just stumbled across your work after deep diving on unbuilt old-world designs. I love your production quality and the fact that you see these structures for what they really are, and the symbolism and connection to beauty found within. Fantastic stuff Erik.
@@johansjournal This art is worth millions. It just takes a lot of time and energy to sell it. The owners are getting older, and just want to move somewhere else to spend their last years.
Most unique and cool home i have ever seen on youtube. Not only because it has a pool table…but from bottom to top floor. It was so unique and cool. So thank for the tour 🙏👍
8:25 those are amphorae. They were used in Ancient Greece and other parts of Mediterranean at the time. Used mainly to store/transport wine and olive oil.
This was a very cool episode. I think there's something to be said about the craftmanship of that era. All the wood work and brick is so beautiful. We have older architecture where I'm from, and one of the biggest crimes is tearing it all down to put a modern monstrosity in it's place. You can tell that whoever owns this home has a mind that's a historical treasure chest. She likely knows something about everything. I think a sit down conversation with her could blow anybody away. A+ episode, can't wait to see the next one.
Hey Erik, that is one strange Carriage/Townhouse. Would have been interesting to see how it was arranged as a Carriagehouse for horses 🐎 or a Garage for an automobile. That chair in the bedroom is made out of cattle horns not tusks and it looks like someone has lived there since the 70's. Great presentation and nice suit, buddy.
She is an artist. Her whole life could be chaotic and claustrophobic. That seems to look her art style. She lives in downtown NYC too, very out there and a unique place to create art. To each their own eh? I’m a full time artist and I prefer minimalistic design with bare minimal finishes and decor. I live in the woods. To each their own!💯💪
I think my favorite is the backyard that room that looks out to the backyard and the rooftop. I think those are my favorite areas. The wet bars and the kitchen as well
This was awe-inspiring. Thank you for the tour. That said, you really need to bone up a little on a lot of things in that place. I can't even remember all the things I shook my head over. "Tusks"/horns. "Samurai"/bullfighter. Etc. Etc. But incredible.
New York City is beautiful 😍 with all kinds of cute tucked away places I am delighted to find trotting around there. This is the same with other interesting Cities I like here.
That house is hideous, since the car is inside the house and when you turn it on the fumes will fill the whole house. In addition to the obvious overpricing of the property, there is the inconsequential mix of Diogenes syndrome and maximalism, with the desire to fill every millimeter with something in a house that is already very small. There is such a quantity of things in that place that I don't know whether to call an antique collector or an EXORCIST. You can't take a shower without a haunted mask watching you.👹
Incredibly interesting home and you can tell, her taste is vast. As you said, would love to hear her backstory for so many of the unique pieces. Well done
Loved the outside, but as you said in a comment it would need a full reno, looks likes it’s stuck in the 70s and I won’t even mention the art, way too eclectic for my taste
I love this house! It is like a museum! No kids to leave it all to? I'll happily step in if they need someone to inherit the home and maintain it for posterity! I absolutely love it!!❤❤❤❤
that's actually the best part of it! (anyone who can afford this could also afford an EV to solve this "problem.") you just gotta pull in front first; the door is wide open when you start up to leave and I highly doubt that this will give any real world issues.
Very much not my style, but I would like to have the ability to make my place into a place where it has my personality like this, so I admire her for that.
❤I'm quite happy I just found your channel - You've got a friend with me!! I'm such a nerd for all the old details - thumbs up for your attention to detail and good camera work and caring about things few people notice.
I liked the house, but I feel like the art stuff was too much, I mean there was too much of it, I'm not a minimalist, but if I had that house I would keep it probably more classical and modest, also for a place like NYC I would probably have a steel gate or something in front the garage door for security
Amazing residence, I agree people want to be inspired. Some of the artwork is not my aesthetic, but having a garage and backyard plus rooftop level is awesome. The roof top area would be great to entertain in.
Unfortunately that cesspool of a city is lost beyond saving. I worked in that neighborhood back in the 90’s when NYC was at its peak. It has since descended into an abyss that cannot be recovered. That particular property will never sell.
Love it all! The suit of lights is not a samurai outfit, but the suit of a matador , bullfighter. Called suit of light due to all the bright embroidery n sequins on suit.
The house is a cluster-F. It speaks to the crazy of the owner. Whew skinny halls. Hopelly when she dies and the place is sold someone can come in and do this thing justice. Otherwise it’s a nightmare. I completely agree with the need for an exorcism
This is such a cool home!! Personally not my taste but I love that it is set apart by its character and art. I do love old and historic homes and the outdoor space is great for being in the city. I love this series
The house is actually $30M, it’s $28,000,000 USD for the property and $2M for the Exorcist.

Great idea; but considering the size of nyc, it’s probably easier to keep it (generally) in town.

Sell and then you can pay the house off.
Just stumbled across your work after deep diving on unbuilt old-world designs. I love your production quality and the fact that you see these structures for what they really are, and the symbolism and connection to beauty found within. Fantastic stuff Erik.
I like the art, but was confused why you keep focusing on it until you mentioned it comes with the house. Nice.
they are getting rid of the trash
@@johansjournal This art is worth millions. It just takes a lot of time and energy to sell it. The owners are getting older, and just want to move somewhere else to spend their last years.
@@FabledGentleman i bet they used palestinian children bones and skulls.
A magnificent display of eclectic maximalism after my own heart. A few art history courses would serve Eric quite well, indeed.
I would buy it and get rid of EVERYTHING inside!
Tasteless prick
Get all the 80s modernisation stuff out, and start afresh
I would only do that once I had my own stuff to fill the area.
Most unique and cool home i have ever seen on youtube. Not only because it has a pool table…but from bottom to top floor. It was so unique and cool. So thank for the tour 🙏👍
2nd video!!! Grab the owner and explain the art!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
She is 86 years old, living in Israel.
This is a great townhouse - could be the setting for the next Ghostbusters movie. Thank you Erik. You always outdo yourself
8:25 those are amphorae. They were used in Ancient Greece and other parts of Mediterranean at the time. Used mainly to store/transport wine and olive oil.
still being used to produce wine in some places.
This was a very cool episode. I think there's something to be said about the craftmanship of that era. All the wood work and brick is so beautiful. We have older architecture where I'm from, and one of the biggest crimes is tearing it all down to put a modern monstrosity in it's place. You can tell that whoever owns this home has a mind that's a historical treasure chest. She likely knows something about everything. I think a sit down conversation with her could blow anybody away. A+ episode, can't wait to see the next one.
Hey Erik, that is one strange Carriage/Townhouse. Would have been interesting to see how it was arranged as a Carriagehouse for horses 🐎 or a Garage for an automobile. That chair in the bedroom is made out of cattle horns not tusks and it looks like someone has lived there since the 70's. Great presentation and nice suit, buddy.
I feel the historical info on the home might be a bit off. I tried looking through property records and I feel the home is older than what is listed.
@erikvanconover Thanks buddy, you are always ❤️ a pleasure to watch.
I love this series the old-world gems are truly inspiring I dont know how you keep finding these spots but keep it up.
This house is very chaotic and claustrophobic
In New York, that’s the starting point 😂
She is an artist. Her whole life could be chaotic and claustrophobic. That seems to look her art style. She lives in downtown NYC too, very out there and a unique place to create art. To each their own eh?
I’m a full time artist and I prefer minimalistic design with bare minimal finishes and decor. I live in the woods. To each their own!💯💪
I think my favorite is the backyard that room that looks out to the backyard and the rooftop. I think those are my favorite areas.
The wet bars and the kitchen as well
More is MORE! SO claustrophobic. Imagine the sellers having to empty that place if someone actually bought it.
it will prb get a full gut reno
@@erikvanconover It needs it, Im not a big fan of their decorations.
It's not the sellers, it's the buyers! Everything in the house stays, including the Bentley. I can't believe someone actually lives there
I mean, the buyers would probably get a VERY nice payday for some of the historical items 👀
@ravenvelvet69 I'm sure
This was awe-inspiring. Thank you for the tour. That said, you really need to bone up a little on a lot of things in that place. I can't even remember all the things I shook my head over. "Tusks"/horns. "Samurai"/bullfighter. Etc. Etc.
But incredible.
If I had the money I would buy with everything inside, wouldn't change a thing. I simply loved this.
All I can say is Wow! Love this place.
I am terrified 😮 will never live there with all those creepy art piece
Ridiculously phenomenal!!! Absolutely stunning and keep it going!!!!!
Most artists are so out of their minds.
New York City is beautiful 😍 with all kinds of cute tucked away places I am delighted to find trotting around there. This is the same with other interesting Cities I like here.
13:20 Diddy was here
No doubt.....LOL. He sure is "making a name for himself" these days, isn't he???
That's all anyone is talking about. 😂😂😂😂
I love your excitement in your work, very mesmerizing
That house is hideous, since the car is inside the house and when you turn it on the fumes will fill the whole house. In addition to the obvious overpricing of the property, there is the inconsequential mix of Diogenes syndrome and maximalism, with the desire to fill every millimeter with something in a house that is already very small.
There is such a quantity of things in that place that I don't know whether to call an antique collector or an EXORCIST.
You can't take a shower without a haunted mask watching you.👹
I said the "same thing." You would definitely need an EXORCIST!!!
Incredibly interesting home and you can tell, her taste is vast. As you said, would love to hear her backstory for so many of the unique pieces. Well done
Loved the outside, but as you said in a comment it would need a full reno, looks likes it’s stuck in the 70s and I won’t even mention the art, way too eclectic for my taste
I love this house! It is like a museum! No kids to leave it all to? I'll happily step in if they need someone to inherit the home and maintain it for posterity! I absolutely love it!!❤❤❤❤
Absolutely beautiful.
Wow awesome I love it 💜
Gargoyle dogs very cool as well as the peacock fireplace! Statues of the owners are very cute
I love when you start up your car and get fumes into your home! Genius! ! this will not sell anywhere near asking
that's actually the best part of it!
(anyone who can afford this could also afford an EV to solve this "problem.")
you just gotta pull in front first; the door is wide open when you start up to leave and I highly doubt that this will give any real world issues.
Breathtaking..awesome face jugs/pottery derived from South, they're amazing
I think the art chooses you.
This was SO stunning..more!
Very much not my style, but I would like to have the ability to make my place into a place where it has my personality like this, so I admire her for that.
❤I'm quite happy I just found your channel - You've got a friend with me!! I'm such a nerd for all the old details - thumbs up for your attention to detail and good camera work and caring about things few people notice.
I liked the house, but I feel like the art stuff was too much, I mean there was too much of it, I'm not a minimalist, but if I had that house I would keep it probably more classical and modest, also for a place like NYC I would probably have a steel gate or something in front the garage door for security
Amazing residence, I agree people want to be inspired. Some of the artwork is not my aesthetic, but having a garage and backyard plus rooftop level is awesome. The roof top area would be great to entertain in.
So it’s 28 million does that include all the art and if so, can I get a discount if I don’t want any of the art or masks?
Unfortunately that cesspool of a city is lost beyond saving.
I worked in that neighborhood back in the 90’s when NYC was at its peak. It has since descended into an abyss that cannot be recovered.
That particular property will never sell.
You such a pathetic person 💯 get a life
Crime? or what?
Wowee wowee woo woo. This has to be my favorite home ive seen with all the greenery and the incredible art work
17:07 Rolls Royce, not Bentley. But other than that, overall an efficient layout and good use of space for such a tall but narrow property.
same same but different. Big old boat!
@@erikvanconover They really are.
@@erikvanconover It's the same as saying New York is New Jersey.
What a place, so much feeling and atmosphere. Would love to live in this amazing home
11:54 i was scared that he will hit that blue pot and break it
thank god !!!
This place is crazy.. a normal person can’t even imagine a place like this existing 😮😮
I couldn't stop crying over this beauty. I know if I stuck to my dreams, I would've lived like this.
never too late
Love it all!
The suit of lights is not a samurai outfit, but the suit of a matador , bullfighter. Called suit of light due to all the bright embroidery n sequins on suit.
The house is a cluster-F. It speaks to the crazy of the owner. Whew skinny halls. Hopelly when she dies and the place is sold someone can come in and do this thing justice. Otherwise it’s a nightmare. I completely agree with the need for an exorcism
Yup. Completely agree.
This is such a cool home!! Personally not my taste but I love that it is set apart by its character and art. I do love old and historic homes and the outdoor space is great for being in the city. I love this series
