5 STORIES FOR $15 MILLION ON THE UPPER EAST SIDE!

January 9, 2012
  • Share
Exterior of a 5 story house in New York City on the Upper East Side

6 bedrooms, 5.5 baths, 6500 square feet and 5 stories…that’s what you get for $14,850,000 in New York City…on the upper east side.

This New York City townhouse is listed by Sotheby’s.  It has been completely renovated.  You might wonder how you get up and down the five floors…well there is an elevator to give you a lift.  Kitchen has twin dishwashers and dual Sub-Zero refrigerators.  Two indoor gas fireplaces and a sound/lighting/floor heating system that can be controlled via the internet.

They even include a heated front garden and sidewalk…don’t know quite how this works but I’m sure it helps in snowy weather.

The best part of this home in my view is the fab herringbone wood floors and the large floor to ceiling windows in the living room.

I like…a blank slate…ready to move in!

I like this city townhouse.  What do you think?  Is this your idea of city living?  Does this merit its $15 million asking price?  Do tell!

Happy Monday again!

    Upper East Side is my favorite part of NYC. Stroll through the Park, have breakfast at EAT, walk down Lex and look in the store windows, walk back up 5th and watch all the people, pop into the Met for some CULTCHA, and go home to this gorgeous palazzo. sigh…

    The flooring is absolutely amazing! Also, you can really never have enough carrera marble, can you?! It hurts my heart and soul that it costs as much as it does though. At this rate I will be renting for the rest of my life!

    I love this house and for sure think that it is what city living is all about! The pricetag is a little steep for my personal budget but you do get a lot for your penny with this one!
    Great post, thanks!

    Why so cheap? I don’t have $15 million lying around myself, but doesn’t that not seem like that much for an entire house in Manhattan?

    I have to say yes this house is beautiful but WHY oh WHY is the dining room on a different floor than the kitchen???!!!!

    For $15 million I would NEVER walk upstairs with my food to sit…nor would I have help bring it in the elevator/drag food around possibly spilling on the way up..thats just plain stupid!!!! you’d think for that price tag they would think of a better floor plan 😉

Design by @covetnoir. A 1750 Georgian home in Surr Design by @covetnoir. A 1750 Georgian home in Surrey, restored back to its former grandeur.
Grade II listed and stripped of most of its original character by previous owners, this 9,000 sqft home with seven bedrooms, and five bathrooms was brought back to life for a French-Swedish couple raising two young kids here. The brief: Parisian luxe with a Scandinavian twist, and a design calm enough to keep the grand proportions feeling intimate.
Covet Noir rebuilt what had been lost: full plasterwork, raised & fielded panels, a bespoke decorative ceiling, and added a cantilevered limestone staircase with Nero Marquina cabochon inlay in the entrance hall. The material palette leans into marble and alabaster, softened with boucle and brushed cottons, chosen to hold up to two kids and two dogs without losing the elegance. Antique furniture and architectural fittings were sourced throughout to keep the project sustainable, alongside ground source heating.
Grand bones, calm hand. This is the kind of restoration we could look at all day. 🤍

Before you start moving furniture, ask yourself thBefore you start moving furniture, ask yourself these three questions:
Does this improve the room’s function?
Does it create a better focal point?
Does it make the space easier to walk through?
If the answer is “no” to all three, maybe it’s just the rearranging itch talking. 😅

A 90s home in Amman, Jordan, entirely remodelled by local artisans. Neo-Florentine bones, Levant-eclectic sensibility, arched passageways, and a flea-market-meets-commissioned-art collection that makes every wall feel intentional.
What makes it work: restraint where you’d expect excess, and boldness where you’d expect safety.
This is what happens when a home is built by people who actually know the place. 🖤

Black is not a bold choice. It’s a neutral, and one of the most versatile ones in design.
The rooms that get it right treat black the same way others treat white or greige: as a foundation that lets everything else breathe. The texture of the wall. The warmth of the wood. The drama of the marble. Black doesn’t compete, it amplifies.
Save this the next time someone talks you out of going dark. 🖤
