Realy nice work Jorge! elegant and takes into account every little detail. As an architect I always dream about living and working in NYC. Greetings from Argentine Patagonia!
“All the window replacement have to go thru landmarks, there is a big process for that.” Pardon the ignorance but what does that mean? Is landmarks some sort of inspection process or something?
It means the property has been deemed as having historical/architectural significance and thus there are strict rules Re: what can or cannot be changed. (It's also worth noting that not all Landmark designations are equal: they can vary significantly in terms of what is or is not allowed.)
In the UK we would call that Grade Two Listed; of some architectural merit germane only to the original exterior………..Grade One Listed would mean a serious ancient monument/castle.
It means the subcontractors have to stand around doing nothing while the hysterical society decides what they can do. It’s why the contractor took his bid and tripled it because she/he has to keep paying so the subs don’t leave for another job while waiting.
If you want an open concept floor plan buy 1950’s construction or later. Not a historically sensitive renovation. Paint hides a multitude of sins. Original woodwork was not normally painted. 😢
Now this is a Brownstone.
such a creative and respectful renovation. gorgeous
Love that you kept the older details like the lion’s head

Hello Jorge thank you for uploading, the house is so nice
Greetings from Ethiopia
Nice! And at least, they didn't tear out all the architectural detail, or go nuts with a paintbrush.
George, this place is really fantastic. Greetings from. South africa.
Holy Smokes !!!! Gorgeous 😮.
So nice to see a Brownstone that doesn't have the Dining-room in the Hallway
Beautifully done!
Is it heringbone? We say "Fischgrätenparkett" :-) Love it.
Having a breakdown of the prices would be appreciated! Also, how long to get approval from the city since it is a landmark?
Nice video!
How much
Where are the original floors? Where is the original gas lights? Looks like you “got rid” of a lot of things that make a Brownstone unique.

It means there are many elements the new owner cannot change under municipal law.
I'm Ugandan. With 2m Usd. Can i afford this
This is probably closer to $5 million or more because of the location. But you can find similar properties in New York for $2 million.

What’s the price
@joebutton9244perhaps add a zero. 😝
If you have to ask, you likely can’t afford it (neither can I)
@@susandavis903thanks
Okay.. I get the "landmark" thing BUT, if I BUY a home I'm doing whatever the hell I want to do with it. 😂😂😂
NYC.
Hard pass.
Hi Jorge. Wonderful job!
