This UWS duplex comes with 2,500 books!

Oh, and that interior is just insanely pretentious and vulgar. The space minus the decorating looks very nice, with the double height etc.

If that place just landed in my lap, I'd get rid of the books, tear out all that fake Georgian/mock Tudor shelving out, and maybe keep tha shelving minus all the tacky bells and whistles. Strip the shelves of the stupid mouldings and paint them white.

If I had the money for that place, I would have little trouble filling the shelves with my own books and stuff.

Vomit inducing. The space itself appears to be exceptionally great but everything in it needs to disappear.
