    God I am IN LOVE w this house!! It's so sad seeing these homes gutted and replaced w nothing but smooth whiteness. So much detail, warmth, and character

    Beautifully restored and tastefully updated! For those who would choose to have a dinner party at the parlor level, restoring the dumbwaiter would serve a good purpose. An elegant home for elegant living.

    Love this house. But I will praise he video. VERY detailed and informative. Nice slow camera work feels like its me walking thru the place. And the music is perfect - not obnoxious and distracting. I almost forgot it was there. Well done. I just LOVE roaming thru these houses with you.

      Unlike some of these townhouses, there was almost room to have the kitchen in the rear. But it would have been a squeeze, and it would have destroyed the lovely period woodwork and windows. It's not ideal to ask your guests to trapse downstairs for dinner, but restorationwise, they made the right decision. As I have commented, it would be useful to restore the dumbwaiter so that food could be served at the parlor level.

      @@Bobrogers99 growing up in brownstones and townhouses I notice that the new trend (or old I guess depending) is that they turn the parlor level into the kitchen and the first level into an apartment. All my life the first level was kitchen, dining and living room spaces. I guess that’s why I just can’t ever imagine the parlor level being a kitchen. In fact the parlor level was and has always been my bedroom/master suite area in my home.

    This is a treasure! So many vintage homes are over-renovated and their original charm forever lost. I would have guessed c.1890-1900.

    I grew up on this block. Family still owns our home here. Knew the lady that used to live in that home. Ms. Lashley, RIP to her. IDK who owns the home now but it would nice to know someone in her family benefited from this sale vs just some investors. Wishful thinking however.

    I'm a bit late to the game, but after watching several of these videos; I must say, it's nice to see so much of the original detail in this townhouse. I've seen so many, having been 'modernized' to the point of 'this could be a suburban ranch inside'; lacking personality, for all the being new, and I imagine, expensive, remodels. This home maintains its respect for the architecture, that so many re-do's do not.
