Touring Aaron Burr’s Historic $9,995,000 NYC Carriage House

[@erikvanconover]

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.

[@tiffanycurtis4794]

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 👏🏾

[@moniquedeitz4356]

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.

[@vladimiraofficial]

Yes, I would buy this house on a spot.

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

[@wickedslick3000]

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!

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.

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.

[@brooklyn_breaux]

THE SETUP OF THIS PLACE IS DOPE. THAT SUNKEN FIREPLACE IS PRETTY COOL.

[@kirajlerner]

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.

[@johnhastings462]

Plus the absurd gimmick of the firepit . Which is just plain dumb !

[@vikib1758]

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

[@buzon1658]

@Kira Lerner Totally agree. Open shelving only works for people that have no stuff, or enjoy visual chaos.

[@clairewright8153]

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.

[@silvia6790]

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.

[@Jackjohnjay]

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.

[@ssjwes]

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.

Sunken fire pit is a huge minus for me. Just steals space with the railing and the stairs.
