I NORMALLY don't care for modern, but THIS is absolutely outstanding!! LOVE IT!

[@flashflame4952]

That apartment was owned by Paul Goldenberger a famous architect. I was on the roof of the Dakota because a friend of mine lived in that building with his father. He took me all around pointing out this and that. I went into his kitchen to get a glass of water and casually looked out the window. To my surprise, I spotted John sitting at his kitchen table sloughed in his chair with his feet up on the table. (Not a thing that is a good thing) lol

[@AdrienneMint]

Wow! You are so lucky to have seen John. I hope you treasure that memory forever.

[@2DXYSU]

Paul Goldberger (not Goldenberger) is a CRITIC not an ARCHITECT).

[@stacylindsey9729]

I could imagine living there. To live in the Dakota has been my dream since I was sixteen. That's when I was first allowed to go into New York City with friends. We would run around central park.

[@lawrencesiskind3554]

Though I usually find myself disappointed by modern penthouses plunked on the roofs of classic buildings, this one looks great! I can't imagine a more interesting project under the old eaves.

[@stevie68a]

This apartment was originally a series of servants rooms. It is the only apartment in the entire Dakota that has outdoor space. It is beautiful with really good taste in the decorating.

[@danmiller7568]

Love it or not love it, you have to admit this juxtaposition in the Dakota is stupendous. and, the noise level with other units would be minimal at the least. Can you imagine in the winter getting all that sunlight. What a delight that would be.

[@ML-xi2rt]

It is an incredible and awesome apartment. The lines of the home are incredible and it is a modern NYC apartment masterpiece. I am a fan though of the apartments and their historical beauty in the floors below penthouse C. Once again, a GREAT presentation Scott ! 👍🏻

[@alison5009]

I love The Dakota and watching your videos. I really like the older styles, but because the space has so much light and access to the roof, it’s very tempting!

[@388Caroline]

Love the terrace and it’s beautiful view ♥️

[@candybox5360]

This is SO GORGEOUS! oh my, in one of my fave buildings in the World. Just brilliant. Equally as exquisite as the last one perfectly in the Old Order! Thank you again 💜🌈💜

[@IslandSmiles8973]

I love your channel! I've never been to NY and love your in depth photos!

[@mikedtw]

Penthouse perfection, IMHO! Loving the juxtaposition of modern furniture, art, lighting - everything - against this classic building.

[@jhash9554]

I love it. My favorite part is the rooftop deck!

[@bar10ml44]

Definitely I would choose this over the modern high rises. Even if you have the money I find the building fees outrageous

[@alexking8610]

Thank you very much for showing me inside one of my favourite buildings in the world !

[@sukimarmelaide4030]

Its so good to hear from you again! This was a delight! Thank you for sharing the eye candy!

[@jillwiegand4257]

I love the big windows and vintage roof top view! But all the white and modern feel isn't my cup of tea. Lauren Bacall and John Lennon had beautiful spaces. Warm colors and plenty of wood and vintage lighting, etc. One apt I would love to see was Gilda Radners apt at the Dakota. ❤ BTW, for 10k a month what do you get? A full time door man, parking space maybe and a storage locker?

[@luciollelsa]

Of course you have to be very rich to be able to afford such an appartment especially in the iconic Dakota but the upkeep went up nearly $3000 per month in 7yrs. It's a good thing it's a Co-op

[@mark8337]

Love it. I’d add a pinch more light grey, but otherwise it’s awesome. Can’t believe the price is that low.

[@cristinesaunders2428]

Wow! Thank you!

[@martijnkeisers5900]

Looks very early 90's.

[@divinelove4604]

I love it and I would definitely stay there.

[@angelbulldog4934]

Ultra-modern is a no, but so is NYC. I prefer small and quiet. NY is huge and loud. Still, I thank you for a view inside this iconic building that I'll never see.

[@williamsmith5549]

This is indeed a superb space, and a very thoughtful approach to modern industrial minimalism -- if this were a Lower Manhattan loft, OMG, sheer perfection fer sure! It is too sterile for a building such as The Dakota, for my way of thinking, so with my fantasy billionaire budget where there are no limitations (ROFL!!!), I would bring in a decorating team that really knew how to balance the deep, rich warmth of classic 19th century interiors with the modern love of light and ease of living. SO much potential for greatness here! Always love your videos, thanks so much and can't wait for another video to swoon over!

[@MyDarkmarc]

In would love to furnish this penthouse in "Hollywood Regency" either by decorators Tony Duquette, Billy Haines or even Dorothy Draper since I love COLOR

[@mrsbluesky8415]

The Dakota is really a beautiful building, not scary like in Rosemary’s Baby. It’s iconic for so many reasons but the main one for me is John Lennon lived and died there. RIP and bless his soul.

[@martin7702able]

Fabulous

[@sharksport01]

That's a great space. Is that Ward Bennetts former place? The white bedroom needs a mobile.

[@StrangeHistoryX]

Ward lived in the pyramid-structure. Check out the video i did on that. I think you'll like it.

[@micheleemcdaniel389]

For that money I want double kitchen sink.

[@mariadelcarmenrouco8014]

Realmente genial😊

[@juliemartin6280]

I am fascinated by the Dakota, and just love seeing the interior spaces. Thank you so much for this marvelous peek inside. I have been trying without success to find your books, I’m not sure I have correct titles or spelling of your name if you can provide a link that would be helpful. Thank you again

[@yonakecclestone]

I love you so much! I recently just found your kislux and i’m in love!! Your videos are so fun and you energy is just MWAH! keep living your life

[@mariadelcarmenrouco8014]

Q belleza solamente en nueva york y lomdres

[@lilsheba1]

If I could I would take any opportunity to live in the Dakota. Said while watching this video cradling my mini model of the Dakota! I love this building.

[@toniconnor6380]

Wow! 😮 wish I could afford it❤

[@jamesbertie3764]

Of course, if you can afford to buy this apt., furnish and decorate it and can absorb monthly fees, you can easily afford having a new kitchen designed.

[@LilyQueenmas]

Finally firsties! Your voice reminds me of the guy who voiced prince Eric in the little mermaid and peter Parker in the spiderman series from the 90s

[@StrangeHistoryX]

Firsties is better than Lasties, and almost as much fun as Quickies. :) I never saw the Little Mermaid. or Spiderman. But at least you didn't say I sound like Ferris Bueller! I usually get that.

[@carolforrest9218]

Lovely. Very well done for people who like modernity . Too much white on rice.for my tastes. Too sterile. Thank you so much for the tour. I always enjoy your channel. 😍

[@joelfrombethlehem]

Very nice! But I don't really care for the NW corner of the building. Yoko Ono was cloned about 45 years ago and the clone does not age. This is where the clove "lives." I see Yoko in here. However, in your intro video, the white building next to the Dakota between 72nd & 73rd, The Mayfair Towers, 15 W. 72nd. St. seems to have an interesting rooftop patio. I wonder if it is.

[@gordonroome]

Great video, but once again mention is made of wood burning fireplaces but not whether they work or are allowed.

[@user-pd1qc9or8m]

At the very topppp!

[@jamesprice4647]

I want it.

[@33Donner77]

Modern decor provides a striking contrast from being an historical attic. If you have money to burn and absolutely need to live in NYC, you may consider this, but a co-op means that if others default on their monthly assessments ($9,361 a month for this unit!) you will have to pick up their slack.

[@jorgevillavicencio427]

Absolutely stunning and worth the price. However, the kitchen would have been a deal breaker for me if I was on the buying side. I strongly dislike galley kitchens. I don't like fully open concept kitchen/living room either. I prefer a clearly defined space with a sufficiently open access to the living area. Everything else in this penthouse is just incredible.

[@tessahall797]

Hate the stairs

[@6XXBANSHEEXX8]

10k monthly maintenance? What exactly is that for? There's no landscaping involved.

[@RichardBarnett-hs1qy]

I love the juxtaposition of modern and historic. That having been said, this particular apartment feels claustrophobic. Who was the female entertainer who TOTALLY destroyed one of the apartments, having gutted it of all the old moldings, fireplaces, and historic features? Tantamount to vandalism. If she wanted modern minimalism, there were hundreds of modern options available in NYC.

[@andrewbrendan1579]

Not really for me. I like the original living spaces. I'm curious about how the penthouse area looked when it was servants' quarters, if the space would have made a good apartment for one household rather than multiple servants. Sad, but I suppose no photographs were taken to document that space.

[@maryellengrayberg9146]

I appreciate the modern look and style however, not for my taste. I was curious about the history of when that apartment. was constructed. To me it seems totally out of place. Thank you for the tour.

[@kennixox262]

Who pays for any cleaning, maintenance and or repair of the glass roofs in these units? Is there elevator access to the very top floors? Interesting designs, much of looks to be around 1988, give or take.

[@fairamir1]

Penthouse: Put some color on those walls. NO white walls ever!!!!! And what exactly is a "Parisian view" ?

[@unkle_Enkil]

Parisian view: rooftops overlooking other rooftops whilst the city spreads out beneath in all directions.

[@Tinkerbe11]

Some of the rooms look quite nice, but some look very sterile and antiseptic - like a hospital hall. I prefer the vintage style appartments in the Dakota that you have shown us.

[@susandoll3187]

Where was Bernstein's studio?

[@StrangeHistoryX]

His apt or office?

[@susandoll3187]

@@StrangeHistoryX Studio/office. It was ujp there somewhere on the roof.

[@anthonytanner1546]

The kitchen looks like it's from some cheap apartment very odd compared to the rest of the rooms.

[@RattledPan]

Peh. And I'm a big ol' fan of modern! The last shot with all of the beautiful woodwork, the lounge chair and the...neon windows?? The final bedroom looked like it came from a Conrad shop in England, or worse perhaps Ikea, was the decorating source. So, would I take this, and somehow assuming I could make a ten grand a month maintenance fee? Ten grand a month can get you quite a nice mansion here in Portland, Oregon. I would take solace that while I would not be able to get Good Eats at the food carts after nine at night, I think for ten grand, I could have a chef on call to pop in when I have severe munchies...and yes, I can see in my mind all the people in New York sucking their faces in. Indeed, my fine New York friends, you may assume that we have taken hold of a little piece of the west coast just so we don't have to deal with your judgements~😁😆😉

[@klieglamp]

I don't know . . . it seems to me that it runs afoul of the over all sensibility of the building and its ethos. Not a fan of this.

[@djmusiq]

This is indeed beautiful. However, I just don’t see the point in paying millions to own a place when you also have to pay $9700 per month as a “maintenance fee.” Call me crazy, but that’s almost like paying millions just for the privilege to be a renter.

[@kelldivision]

I feel it clashes rather than contrasts. The staircase is god awful.

[@respecttheopr8r]

Is this supposed to be cool? Liveable? These rooftops remind of the video game “Assassin’s Creed” and that’s not a flex. Geeez.

[@mrtunapie6653]

Not only would I not buy it, I hate it. I cant stand those slanted walls and ceilings.

[@ardas77]

kinda soulless
