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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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!
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
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.🙏🏼
Beautiful - Thank you for posting. In my infinite dreams I am going to continue to work hard and purchase something similar for my family. What a great legacy.
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".
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.
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 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.
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.
Beautiful and very well thought out! So artistically designed. one would feel like they are moving with grace throughout the home, and music is playing, even if it was not! Luxurious! Love the terrace on the roof, and the privacy! Such lovely flowers and trees surrounding it all.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Posted by Lidia 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.
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.

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.
Froggy nards
absolutely gorgeous! i love how it hasn’t been changed and has not been modernized i would love a home like this.
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.
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.
It's like living in a castle in the city.......I simply love it.
Funny I’ve walked past this residence several times I never would have guessed how it looks on the inside great tour
Good comment.
Your home is absolutely beautiful. The workmanship and care with every detail is remarkable. Thank you for sharing such a lovely home.
I’d like to spend my quarantine in this elegant townhouse!
ClassicRoyal 🤪
Very nice place to stay! hahahaha
What a beautiful, elegant and inviting home! Such an Impeccable and perfect treasure. Thank you giving such a memorable tour.
Three cheers for Mr. Brick, the interior designer and host of the video.
Well done, sir.
Especially love the bronze chandelier in the library.
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!
My favorite part is the dining room. It’s a blast into the 1700’s. Absolutely beautiful 😍
Just beautiful. What an oasis in the city. Well done!
This magnificent house evokes a really good taste of living. Spectacular!
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
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.

@@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.
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.

Thank you for posting. Viewing this home left me breathless but my soul felt right at home. Beautiful!
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!
What an absolutely stunning home.
The original detailing is extraordinary.
Absolutely stunning! Thanks for sharing!

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
I love the dining room, the library, and the outdoor terrace. Gorgeous!
You had me at “Three silver and china closets”!!! I also love all the beautiful architectural details!
I watch this whenever I feel like slacking off in school.

Oh the garden terrace 😍 ... what a lovely home.
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.
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!
What an absolutely amazing town home. It would be a beautiful home for the 5 day work week.
a house is not a home

A preemptive scold?

This house is not my style
But i cannot help but say that this house interior is gorgeous
Beautiful walk through#163. I love it. Breath taking views.
3 words; GORGEOUS GORGEOUS GORGEOUS
My favorite space in the house is the fabulous roof top terrace.
Mine too!!
I've walked by this townhouse on occasion. Nice to see the interior.
You have done a splendid job!
This is literally my dream house!
Stunning. I could only dream of even visiting such a place as this.
A fine home, a great place to relax. (Thanks for sharing this video.)
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.🙏🏼
roof terrace - oh my - incredible ... (the bar is amazing, as well!) - what a talent to make house look so inviting and beautiful!
Stunningly beautiful and the craftsmanship in each element is outstanding. Thank you for sharing.
It's so well done. It's a great departure on all that modernist, industrial crap the the populace loves. Fantastic job
A celebration of past centuries' handmade objets et processus! Luxes visuels 💋
Oh my goodness. How beautiful! Just like a dream. I love it!
Absolutely beautiful!
Elegance rarely seen anymore. A nice change from all the zillion-dollar contemporaries that are so ubiquitous. That roof deck is spectacular!
Superbly designed. Thoroughly enjoyable tour.
Beautiful - Thank you for posting. In my infinite dreams I am going to continue to work hard and purchase something similar for my family. What a great legacy.
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.
Eclectic is what comes to my mind first. I love it. Very nice atmosphere. 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
Okay. That was the best house tour ever. Thank you.

Brooklyn isn't uptown.
I could be very happy there.. I love the cozy warmth and splendid elegance... the outside space is absolutely perfect .
Everything is beautiful! I love this street too :)
Stunning. You are a genius with the decorating. Beautiful!❤️
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.
I frequently walk on this street. It’s interesting to see what lies behind the gate. Love the terrace! 😊
I wonder how many times my apartment fits into it! I'm green with envy

It works for me!
in love with the library and the terrace

So lovely😭😭😭😭😭💕💕💕💕💕
A bit stuffy for my taste. The heated sidewalk outside impressed me most.
BRAVO!!!
A masterpiece of European elegance and extravagance. Great presentation.

My most favorite house ever, I adore this house totally!
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.
