Love Love Love the kitchen! The blue room....not so much.

Not really that enthralled with the rest of the house, but I would take that kitchen in an instant!!!

I Love Love Love the blue room! The bedroom....not so much.

Wow. I love that glossy aqua hallway.

I love that blue room. Anyone know who those chairs are by?

well i just love it all

anyone know where i can find a dining table like that? love it!

Oh my god, $8.8 million? No wonder Manhattan is becoming a gated community for the ultra-rich.

The resource list is linked within the Elle Decor article but I'm not sure the dining table is listed. The living room chairs are by Steven Gambrel.

Yul I agree, each rooms looks like it belongs in a different house.

I remember seeing the house in Elle Decor, that particular issue seemed to be WAY out of touch with what was going on in the world - lots of Manhattan townhouses and estates. I remember thinking how could an interior designer afford that it seemed to be in the Hedge Fund Manager/A list star realm.

I have saved this issue of Elle and open it up to this spread a few time a year. I am actually about to paint my bathroom in a similar color to living room , thanks to the magazine.

$8.8 million dollars for a 3 floor, remodeled home in Manhattan is not that expensive when 700 sf. condos go for almost a million.

Amazing home!

bridget -- i think every issue of elle decor is like that.

I bought my 3500 square foot 1872 mansard roof townhouse (five marble fireplaces, exposed brick wall in kitchen, 11 foot ceilings, plaster crown mouldings, original yellow pine floors, mahogany pocket doors, etc. etc.) for $108,000 in 2002.

Where? Springfield, Mass. We are 2.5 hours from New York, 90 minutes from Boston, and 45 minutes from the Berkshires. We used to be called "The City of Homes" and have GORGEOUS Victorian homes (not only townhouses, lots of single family Queen Annes, cute lofts -- everything) for a steal.

love the primitive affect of the kitchen.

that blue living room is dreamy! the bedroom, meh...

$8.8 million is a lot of money no matter what. A multiple of ridiculous is still ridiculous.

Why do people like to bash where other people choose to live? their house, their money, their choice. The house is gorgeous - period.

@eiw: there are really good reasons why people choose to live in Manhattan or elsewhere in NYC instead of uhm,.....
elsewhere.

wup! there I go.

I kind of love the bathroom/shower room/whatever. Walling off showers annoys me, and this takes care of that problem.

Though likely quite cold in winter.

Beautiful home...but the rooms aren't very cohesive

It's kind of a "bummer" that this house is well remembered as the home to many, many people when it was previously apartments just a couple of years ago before these two gut-reno'd it.

The house and the building in the rear of the backyard were home to many apartments and was really vibrant. Although the images are lovely and it looks like a nice house for a party, it is a poster child par supreme of so-called "gentrification". That's the sad underside of the house's current incarnation. We're not talking ancient history. This property went from multi-unit to single-family designer home in one step. Would have been nice if the density of the West Village could have continued...It has been way too imagineered these last 10 years. We miss you Jane Jacobs! (That's Jane, not Marc!)

In terms of location, the next door building at the corner was a loud bar for many years and I believe is a large chain coffee place now. W10th Street there is really one of the uglier streets in the Village. The police precinct built in the 60's (I think) is right down the block and to the left of this house, there are tenement-y apartment houses. Decent grocery shopping is so-so frankly. I guess there's always the delivery company. Although it would be considered a nearly impossible hike, the Balducci's at 14th Street, of course, as many know, closed (so the old bank building it took over now houses bands of homeless men in the raised portico)...and the Chelsea Market, arguably the best food shopping is even further. Otherwise it's a medium trek east to the Gourmet Garage, Jefferson Market or Life Thyme which are middling or Citarella which is not my favorite.

Sadly, if you're into dining, a number of decent casual places on Hudson right up from this house have closed. Actually tons of things on Hudson have closed. Apparently, there's one big owner of a lot of the retail space that has pushed the rents so high, their renters (mostly restaurants) have closed...and now there are tons of empty locations...is that smart?

W10th where this house is located is the street above the much-touted Christopher Street that doesn't have much umph anymore. Except...except Friday through Sunday when all heck breaks loose (not to mention certain celebrations when the place is an absolute mob scene).

Weekends are a bee I tea sea ache in this part of the Village. The noise and p level are high. The PATH train that goes to NJ has a main station a block down from this house and is a favourite hang-out.

This house is NOT next door to SJP and MB (just walked past them last night). These two (no doubt charming) guys will have a tough time getting their price in my opinion.

By the way, after my long post above, I read some of the other comments. How can anyone say the rooms aren't cohesive. To be honest I think the interiors are gorgeous. I would NEVER say these two didn't do a spectacular job. This was a BIG renovation and they put a huge amount into it! Hats off to them! I have a feeling they're pricing high to test the market and also accept a lower amount when offered. I wonder...if they priced there house low enough, I wonder if a bidding war would occur... It seems to be happening again in Manhattan and Brooklyn again, these bidding wars (just not as bad as before).

I'm buying this house

the kitchen... how i love the kitchen :D
