Are you Aaron Burr sir? Hands down one of the most unique living spaces we have toured on the channel! Comment what your favorite feature and if you would pay $10,000,000 for a piece of NYC history.
I would pay this is beautiful Erik every tour for the last couple of months you have had beautiful homes tours but I can’t help but notice I don’t know if you noticed but the last couple of tours the homes or apartments have white oak floors or cabinetry I love it 👏🏾
Very enjoyable vlog, Erik! The re-use of damaged beams for the shelving was a very nice touch...and, of course, love the exposed brick. Over all, super well done reno! I could definitely live there even without a city view (though I'd have a daily view of the NYC skyline while living in my $135,000,000 dream apartment by Hiroshi Sugimoto at 432 Park Avenue). A question regarding the Burr house: why didn't the renovators make usable space on the roof? A suggestion: obtain an oil painting of Aaron Burr (perhaps an original done during Burr's lifetime) and hang it by the front door of the "garage." Include it in the sales price to make up for no usable roof space.
Beautiful house but some major functionality issues, the glass wall next to the master bed that opens to a staircase just seems like a terrible lack of privacy. Also, the rainfall shower in the soaking tub seems like a good way to get water everywhere
I was thinking about waking up from a nightmare and thinking you see someone standing on the stairs and staring at you lmao. It's a cool feature but I don't think I could ever be comfortable knowing that I'd be so exposed!
How are you meant to have sex in your bed when the kids are coming up the stairs and glancing in at you through the window? What are these people thinking?!
They did a good job restoring the outside facade but they took away a lot of the original charm of the inside-the only thing they kept seems to be the exposed beams. Such a shame to lose so many of the original architectural details.
@@amphibien8264 it’s awful. I understand sometimes original features can’t be kept because they aren’t compatible with modern plumbing/wiring/HVAC, but seeing historic interiors transformed into a cookie-cutter modern condo is really sad.
you have to update to a modern kitchen, but leaving the beams and the old bookshelf would've been cool, should've left the red paint on the exterior as well. Love NYC buildings wit some color!
Man I liked the before exterior so much more. That beautiful red and window doors… Aw man, the interior before, too. :( it had SO much more character on the kitchen main level.
Yeah all the wood being removed and surfaced refinish on the ceiling took the soul out of the "historic" look. I like the new look but I also liked the old look because of its history. People in the US are so quick to do away with the old.
LOL, there are so many "features" that architects love but people who actually live in homes quickly realize are absurdly impractical. *Only* open shelving in the kitchen? No pantry space or easily accessible cabinetry? (As far as I can tell, there isn't. When the camera swings around to show the whole kitchen there's nothing there opposite the island, and the only cabinets are beneath the counters.) Those admittedly gorgeous 200-year-old beams won't look quite as chic when filled with groceries like Bumble Bee tuna, Rice Krispies or Fruit Roll-ups. Or even the billionaire equivalents. And others have commented on the ridiculous glass wall that displays the master bed to anyone, including kids. I can handle the "all eyes on me" patio, because any outdoor space in NYC is wonderful. But the whole house is a big fishbowl. I dunno. You've got this fantastic historic figure associated with the property, but the building itself looks as if it's been dropped down from a spaceship flown by a planet of Industrial Modern-worshipping aliens.
Didn’t like the kitchen design either, no pantry small fridge and why could I see power points. At a property at this price point that’s just sloppy. I like the idea of the large window in the master bedroom room to let in light, if it was one that can frost over at the flick of a switch.
I like how open shelving looks but it’s so impractical! First off, where do I put my plates and glasses and everything? Having enough storage in a kitchen is vital and believe me, without upper cabinets, everything is going to be cramped. And even if you can make the open shelves work, then you’ll have to clean them every week and that’s just a terrible waste of time. And why on Earth is there a window to the staircase in the master’s bedroom? And don’t even get me started on the shower.
Sunken fire pit is a huge minus for me. Just steals space with the railing and the stairs. You could've made it level to the outdoor space with skylights and would've had the same natural light in the "garage". On the inside it just looks weird with that one "support beam" in the middle. Poor design imho.
With each room shown I paused the video and I imagined what I’d put in it and how I’d live and move around in the space. 😍 What an amazing dwelling! Wonderful job showcasing this home Mr. Conover. 👏🏽
Compared to other NYC apartments on the channel, this looks surprisingly functional. However, I believe the lack of privacy makes it more suitable for semi-commercial purposes. Still, for 10mil, it's a steal ;)
@ Jan Klosowsky ...just use a little imagination ...huge white linen-sheets, spread all over the outside terrace, as a roof and sunshade, like you are in greece or south france outside, in a restaurant, by the ocean...know what I mean? like this, no neighboors would be able to see anything..additional, lots of plants that grow high all around the fence and "et voila" 🙂
Eric~ You asked in a previous video about which sort of videos your viewers would like to see. I got to say that I simply like them all: the real estate, adventure fitness, NYC, personal... it all fits. Wishing you continued success, brother, you're very inspirational.
*gently sets down crush that was forming upon watching this channel* really love the townhouse and very much appreciate your content and positive spirit! The red brick exterior was kind of cool but I love the refinished look as well. That super long quartz island is great too. I like how the decor is open and a nice blend of masculine and feminine touches.
Whoa! That's a very unique home. Love the entry from the street to the once garage. I would put lighting under the dropped drop down fire pit, above that seating/bar area. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Setting aside it being insanely expensive, I can totally see this be appealing to a person who has a self run art gallery where he sells expensive pieces but not a lot..like very customized expensive type work…so works a lot and just wanna come down his workshop
Very convenient loading area for certain enterpreneuring indivuals looking for new and used furniture. Winter time: while the car is filling the remaining space with its exhaust fumes, freezing wintery weather is also sucked in, making for a unique experience for those still in the house.
Where are you man u r one of a kind when it comes to describing things ,u are at your prime .need more content for you .we aspire to be you in that sphere
@@erikvanconover yes indeed a great house, another jaw dropper is Bette Midlers former home wich can be seen on house tour "famous entertainment" here in youtube...very rar view on centralpark, looking east to west, over the lake.she bought it in the late 90tes for only 3.5 million Dollars and sold it recently for a whopping 50 million...take a look and tell me what you think
Cool place! I wish they would have put a bathroom on the lower basement level. If you use that as a den and work space then it’s a long way to go from top the bottom for the bathroom.
0:17 - love those amber-lump lamps 1:25 - nice office indeed 3:54 - lovely as long as they are sparsely filled like that, what doesn't usually happen in real life :) 4:08 - woah, magic ! 6:18 - nice touch with the skylight !
The entry way staircase is superb! It flows well. The primary bedroom is bright and light. The terrace view and construction is flawless. Having garage space in the city is priceless. Another excellent presentation Erik!
What an awesome House!!! My only gripe would be the master bedroom with the see through wall. Was that acrylic or glass coming up the stairs? Maybe there’s a way to hang a curtain or pull down blinds? Otherwise, the home is quite beautiful 😀👍🏾!
It's a beautiful house, but I think that it had more charm and personality before. Perhaps if the architects/designers of the home blended the charm of the original look of the house with modern interior design, maybe that would've made something cool? Or maybe it could've had a more industrial look.
I've have to manually search for your videos over the past few months, doesn't look like I'm getting any notifications or recommendations... Might wanna look into it... P.s I have notifications on...
In historic (more than 100y/o) part of cities, yes. Modern buildings (last 40y or so) at least here in europe, have some form of garage. All 20/30yo buildings have underground garages.
Yeah, i would like to see the city regulations for open fires and smoke emissions. In many western countries you can no longer just burn whatever you want in the city, because of pollution.
While this is a nice home, the issue I have with most NYC townhomes in general is I wish they were half as tall and twice as wide. They're just so dang narrow...and not much you can do about that
Same... townhomes in my city are usually double the width of NYC's townhomes (10-12 meters at least), so in 3-4 floors you have around 350-500 sq meters of living space. Usually these houses are divided in an apartment for each floor, but when not they are basically like small mansions.

Is agree but if you can afford this house you can probably replace the glass with a solid wall.
They did a good job restoring the outside facade but they took away a lot of the original charm of the inside-the only thing they kept seems to be the exposed beams. Such a shame to lose so many of the original architectural details.
Right? Just replacing it with another generic white/off-white minimalist interior.
I've been getting recommended a lot of renovations like this on RUclips. Beautiful buildings with tons of history turned super generic on the inside.
@@amphibien8264 it’s awful. I understand sometimes original features can’t be kept because they aren’t compatible with modern plumbing/wiring/HVAC, but seeing historic interiors transformed into a cookie-cutter modern condo is really sad.
I think they could have modernized it but kept the original charm of the place.
@@MercuryRisingFast ah...you have no vision
They took a beautiful historic home full of charm and unique character and turned it into another boring white box, great job!
lol
@@erikvanconover They left a few brick walls in there by accident, but I'm sure they can go back and cover it up with a big Jeff Koons or something
To be fair it was originally a carriage house not a home so I doubt it had a lot of historic details you would have in a house.
@@darkchurchhill slightly wrong buddy. The coachman was frequently housed above.
you have to update to a modern kitchen, but leaving the beams and the old bookshelf would've been cool, should've left the red paint on the exterior as well. Love NYC buildings wit some color!
The picture of the living space pre-renovation looked great. Spec builders can go too far and that’s what it looks like here.
“The tiniest touch of modern” 😩
It was so much prettier before.
Man I liked the before exterior so much more. That beautiful red and window doors…
Aw man, the interior before, too. :( it had SO much more character on the kitchen main level.

I couldn’t think of anything worse than all those window eyes on me in my backyard
exactly the same I need my privacy and that open area is the complete opposite of private
Some basic terrace landscaping would really help the sale of this place. I feel like bamboo would be a great addition for that back Terrace
Its nyc no one cares about what’s happening in ur backyard
BBQ and privacy does not go together in NY.
If I'm paying that much I want privacy.
Strangers staring at my terrace while I want to be alone for $10 million? No thanks.
I mean that’s kind of New York living really lol it’s city living

Plus the absurd gimmick of the firepit . Which is just plain dumb !
yes to the pantry and access, but I actually only have open shelving, I like it that way and never had a problem with it
@Kira Lerner Totally agree. Open shelving only works for people that have no stuff, or enjoy visual chaos.
Didn’t like the kitchen design either, no pantry small fridge and why could I see power points. At a property at this price point that’s just sloppy. I like the idea of the large window in the master bedroom room to let in light, if it was one that can frost over at the flick of a switch.

the dropdown fire pit... I love it
Man….that primary suite being the biggest room in the house was heartbreaking. The lower level is the best part of the space. I would just live there.
Sunken fire pit is a huge minus for me. Just steals space with the railing and the stairs. You could've made it level to the outdoor space with skylights and would've had the same natural light in the "garage". On the inside it just looks weird with that one "support beam" in the middle. Poor design imho.
yeah the sunken fire pit was really not the best idea...
the house had so much potential too
and it looks incredibly dangerous as well
@@jennifermarquez4823 yup. Great way to get a thousand ember holes in one's 10,000 dollar suit!
Thank you ! My thughts exactly !
This home is FIRE! I do wish they had kept more of the old school charm. But it's a beautiful home.
It's always a balancing act with the renovations
more like a converted firehouse garage.

Could never afford this, but that didn't stop me from planning where I would put all my furniture or how I would use the ground floor space.

Love these videos. Ten minutes is the perfect length.
Absolutely Stunning!
It's like an art museum more than an appartment
How it looked before was soo much better.
Atleast they could have keep the floors and some of the beams for more character to the space.
@@MercuryRisingFast yes, saw it later when he said it. But yeah I get it:)
Whoa! That's a very unique home. Love the entry from the street to the once garage. I would put lighting under the dropped drop down fire pit, above that seating/bar area. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I have the fear of that fireplace in the centre being flooded if it ever rained really badly
I thought the same thing
I think thats what the pipe in the center might be for, could be multipurpose for redirecting rainwater and as a support system for the patio
The exposed drainage pipe running down is a really crude solution to that problem. 10mil for exposed piping
The firepit is a dumb idea . It needs to go .
every picture, from how it was before the renovation, looks better.
I love this one! Thank you for showing us this unique and historical place!!
Glad you enjoyed it
I adore this fireplace. Just imagine being a neighbor and having all the smoke entering your home through the windows. Ahmmm great
or dying because of the gas filling the cube
@@jemandjemand2362or dying because you park inside your house and carbon monoxide/engine exhaust, being a hot gas, will travel upward.

That kind of renovation is beyond amazing, simply gorgeous
It really is!
Best house on the channel im in love with it. But i have to admit it, i do prefer the interior before the renovation. Great video Erik 👍.
Glad you like them!
The fire pit eats the space and does literally nothing. You still can have fire pit on the balcony while have a flat floor throughout.
the fire pit allows light to go down into what would be a very dark lower level
@@erikvanconover you are missing the point ! The fire pit is a gimmick __at best .
@@erikvanconover why not just a flat glass floor on the terrace? Would bring in even more light. This monstrosity of a fire-pit makes no sens at all.
@@erikvanconover Can they not install lights in the lower level garage?
Very convenient loading area for certain enterpreneuring indivuals looking for new and used furniture.
Winter time: while the car is filling the remaining space with its exhaust fumes, freezing wintery weather is also sucked in,
making for a unique experience for those still in the house.

You should keep uploading more videos to the Erik Conover Originals channel.
Great place but who wants a full view into your bedroom when coming up the stairs
impressive. perfect for a car guy to purchase. i mean how rare is it to have indoor parking as part of your home in the city
In historic (more than 100y/o) part of cities, yes. Modern buildings (last 40y or so) at least here in europe, have some form of garage. All 20/30yo buildings have underground garages.
I wonder what the neighbours think when you’ve got the fire pit roaring in winter with all the smoke. I’d just convert it to a nice little garden 🪴
Yeah, i would like to see the city regulations for open fires and smoke emissions. In many western countries you can no longer just burn whatever you want in the city, because of pollution.
While this is a nice home, the issue I have with most NYC townhomes in general is I wish they were half as tall and twice as wide. They're just so dang narrow...and not much you can do about that
I agree but that’s extremely common in NYC.
