In the unlikely event that I ever have $16.5M, I would buy this 1899 townhouse on the Upper East Side of New York City. It has 5bds & 7ba.
This is the entrance foyer. Guests can sit and wait for you here. Look at the mirrored ceiling.
Since I'd be so rich, I'd probably change that stair carpeting- it doesn't have crisp lines.
Nice black cabinets. Love the kitchen.
Beyond the kitchen is a large sitting and dining area.
Doors open to a very private patio- notice how they covered it with vines so neighbors in surrounding buildings can't look down into your yard.
Very cool guest powder room.
This home has 5 levels, and there's a newly refurbished hydraulic elevator.
This is nice. I like striped walls, but I don't think I've ever seen horizontal stripes.
Looks like a nice little library. Love the lighted shelves.
The bedrooms and baths are on 3 floors.
The spacious primary bedroom is a nice large room with a shiny black fireplace.
Between the bd. & en-suite is a hall w/closets.
Gorgeous bath has a fireplace, too.
Each spacious bedroom has its own en-suite.
I like this bedroom and en-suite b/c it has the same wallpaper that the powder room has.
Here's the elevator on the 5th fl. Actually, I like the new home elevators that work on vacuum, b/c they're in a clear round tube and if they malfunction, they float back down to the main floor. This thing is creepy.
Laundry room in the basement.

These are original color lantern slides taken by Frances Benjamin Johnston in 1921. They show three views of the garden of the house belonging to George Hoadly and Katherine Hinkle Ingalls at 154 East 78th St. (between Lexington and Third Avenues). It's hard to imagine such a bucolic place at that location, but 1921 was another world.
Johnston entered these and other slides in the 1922 City Gardens Club of New York photo exhibition at the New York Camera Club.

I didn't finish this in time because I got overambitious several times during planning, but here's the wip at least
Day 25: snow day (in the hidden city)
Fun fact, clouds can form in caves if they're big enough. While snowing's probably not natural, yokai have access to mystics, so anything's possible.

“607 5th Street sits on a quiet tree-lined block at the edge of Prospect Park, and anchors a group of 14 beautiful Neo-Renaissance limestone townhouses built by architect Axel S. Hedman and developer Eli Bishop in 1907. It's the widest of the group, and the only one with side windows, a conical turret, and views of Prospect Park. Enchanting original details abound, including the original staircase, two fireplace mantles, stained glass windows, parquet flooring, a coffered dining room ceiling, and a wealth of meticulously crafted woodwork and plaster details throughout.”

Here's an 1854 Anglo-Italianate 5 story townhouse in the Greenwich Village section of New York City. 5bds, 7ba, $15.5M and it's already under contract. The most wonderful thing about it is in the backyard, though.
Love the sophisticated main room, and the view, but tbh, for this kind of money, I'd really want a separate dining room.
I don't care for the floating MCM shelving with that fireplace. I think that the fancy crown molding is probably a wallpaper border.
A kitchen / family room. I like the fireplace and book shelving, but it looks like a wall was taken down in the kitchen and the kitchen was last remodeled around the mid-century. The linoleum floor looks original.
One of the stair cases- there are 5 floors, so this is just one of several. I like the niche. (There is an elevator, too.)
The primary bedroom is spacious and modern with an original fireplace.
Cute bath with a vintage tub and new shower. Look at how low the faucets are, though.
Secondary child's bedroom is also very large.
All of the bedrooms are huge. This one on the 5th floor has been modernized and has a beautiful skylight.
This one is also very spacious and is modernized, including the fireplace.
The ground floor at the garden level has been finished and doors open to the patio. They call this an English Basement.
This is very nice to have, especially in NYC.
From this room's window you can see the special feature I was talking about.
Isn't this treehouse cool?
Look at how BoHo the interior is.
This cedar deck is on the roof.
