I like the narrator's voice. His accent is tastefully luxurious. Just pretentious enough to suit the space.
So pretty and dreamy
Oh how I miss London so much🥺
Love the voice over.
Astonishing
Love this agency :)! Great property : I recently came in to see you guys about your sales advisor position : hopefully in the near future I can talk to Rosie the director :)!
I love it but I cannot have a bathtub and sink in the bedroom. You can achieve an en suite in small spaces. Excellent building and location
Yeah, who wants condensation in the bedroom.
Impressive, very nice, now let’s see Paul Allen’s former ballroom reimagined as a bright, contemporary living space.
I’ve watched this several times,and I love it.wish it were my home.
Although,I would swap the placement of the c/table with the d/table. Better to have the d/table nearer to kitchen
and the c/table in front of the Sofa.
it is beautiful
Great taste, you can always tell how cultivated people are by their library and objects of art, although I could not see any paintings on the walls but I guess it was not necessary.
OMG! Lov!
ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!
Not too shabby !
WOW! Pure perfection!
for me it's a shame that the washbasin is in front of the window
Yes, I agree. It also looks like the bath is very close to the foot of the bed - suggesting the bedroom is somewhat cramped for space.
The narrator has a nice voice.
…aperitivo for the summer months. lol
Beautiful Zen great combination of colour ad most important give u good vibes...👍👍👍👍
Does anyone have a link to the bookcase/desk?
nice livingg
what is that music in the background?
Very chic & smart....lovingly crafted. My only critic is while every 'object' throughout the apt. is beautiful - there is a tad too much. An edit would enhance the overall effect.
I agree completely and entirely. Perhaps they could have had the same amount of stuff if it weren't so classically embellished, looked a bit gauche. There's a reason modernism exists and it seems to be underrepresented in that interior.
Nice main room, but for me all the black metal trim of the room dividers/doors and the books and things and heavy dark colours in place a bit too overwhelming. Would have been beautiful all white or off white.
I feel sorry for the ball room! While watching I was imagining the turn of the century family that lived there looking with horror!!
I think they're dead
@@ewmagency "imagining"
BRILLIANT
I can't hear the voice and the volume is at full on my smart phone
I care about the house, not the pedigree of the designer.
Quite nice, but so much light on the hard surfaces everywhere shows up every bit of dust!
Beautiful design. So refreshing to to such a grand house not ruined by that Russian- esque, over ostentatious 'interior design'.
A lot of bedroom/bathroom space was sacrificed for that beautiful living/working space. They probably have another residence anyway
Evidently you don't agree, but a cocoon of a bedroom and a compact bathroom suit me, I'd prioritise the space where I live. I say that as if I will EVER afford to live in a house like this.
@@lb003g0676 I agree re: the bedroom but I need a large bathroom
chic
All that natural light is crying out for plants
6/10
It’s very good but now that you’ve dropped all those city names and accolades, it’s actually not good enough now. See what you did there?
there was a ballroom in a townhouse?! I'm sure the neighbors are glad they're gone....
This was supposed to be about the design and not about the actual business of this agency. Shame.
there's something about this place that is so anxiety-inducing to me for some reason
Tall black frames every where, closes things in a bit and maybe too filled with things. Lots of clutter in the space. Felt the same. Maybe we would not have felt the same if everything lighter and airier
Take half of all the clutter out and add 4 or 5 house plants to make the most of the beautiful natural light
so much waft
it's very dusty
posh
Pretentious mess filled with overpriced retail crap. Open bath in your bedroom is a sign of utter idiocy and lack of taste or integrity.
All throughout the video (except maybe in the kitchen) I thought that these pictures must had been taken during the renovation process - messy and discombobulated... Oh, well, I'll go back to my peasant esthetics.
Lovely apartment - shame about the pretentious voice-over.
So true! Something was off about the video and know I know what it was! Thanks!
Beautiful. But you lost me when you said Master bedroom, it's a term many people don't know it's related to slavery.
Thank you for pointing this out. I only recently learned this. I am trying to replace the phrase in my head, do you have a phrase your prefer?
@@christiansparkle A lot of people are transitioning into saying "Primary bedroom." It'll take some time to adjust, but we'll figure out new descriptors!
@@MeghanStark thank you!!! I’ll use that going forward.
@@christiansparkle I also did not know this.
From homelight.com/blog:
The term “master bedroom” is far from the biggest racism issue plaguing real estate. Redlining, steering, and other blatantly discriminatory practices have shaped segregated neighborhoods and upheld systemic racism. Musician John Legend famously called changing the term a “fake problem” in a 2020 tweet, noting that the real problem is that agents “don’t show Black people all the properties they qualify for.” (known as steering.)
National Association of Realtors President Vince Malta states, “NAR sees no reason that real estate professionals cannot use the term, as there is also no evidence that it has any historical connection to slavery or any other kind of discrimination.”
U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development has not made moves to eradicate the term, believing it does not run afoul of any protections of the Fair Housing Act.
great voice, awful design. wish it were still a beautiful ballroom!
Sorry, Not impressed. Doesnt look cozy.
