I WANNA live there Wednesday # 69 - New York

I WANNA live there Wednesday 

WELCOME TO I WANNA LIVE THERE WEDNESDAY -
PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A SERIES ON REAL ESTATE FOR SALE - MOSTLY IN MY HOME TOWN OF MONTREAL - WITH LOTS OF VISITS HERE AND THERE TO SEE WHAT ELSE IS OUT THERE - SOMETIMES IN N.Y. OR NEW ORLEANS - OR PARIS - OR............ANYWHERE ACTUALLY!
I CONCENTRATE ( FOR THE MOST PART ) ON HERITAGE HOMES - HISTORICAL BUILDINGS WITH DETAILED ARCHITECTURE.
SINCE THIS IS A SERIES ON THE HOUSE ITSELF - AND NOT THE WAY PEOPLE FURNISH THEM - KINDLY KEEP THAT IN MIND WHEN LEAVING COMMENTS -I WOULD NOT WANT A HOME OWNER TO COME ACROSS THEIR HOME ON MY BLOG AND READ UNKIND THINGS ABOUT IT ( I WAS ONCE CONTACTED WITH THANKS FOR SHOWCASING SOMEONE'S HOME - SO IT'S POSSIBLE )  IF YOU'RE INTO HOMES WITH A HISTORY THIS IS A SERIES YOU JUST MAY ENJOY - THANKS SO MUCH FOR VISITING THEM WITH ME

Not that many photos - but I don't know if my heart could have stood more than they show - 
This is simply gorgeous - 

This next photo leaves me with my mouth resting on the keyboard - seriously seriously in love with this room - the fireplace - the few pops of glamour - the windows - the trunk at the foot of the bed and the
white casual bedding - it's so magical in a very UNcontrived way, right?

And if the building looks just a tiny bit familiar - it's because it's where Miss Holly Golightly lived
This is the townhouse they used for the frontage in Breakfast at Tiffany's !

And now it's where I WANNA live too !!!

(I want to wake up in the city that never sleeps)

And I love happy endings almost as much as I love historical houses

Have a wonderful Wednesday everybody !!!
