Transcript

00:00Oh, my goodness.

00:02It's gorgeous, isn't it?

00:03There's a lot going on in here.

00:05PJ's been stuck living in Denise's house

00:08in upstate New York since they met,

00:10and now it's threatening their relationship.

00:13Well, if you don't like my house,

00:14then do you actually even like me?

00:16If your house can't make room for me,

00:18does that mean that you don't like me?

00:21He wants something simple and clean,

00:23but she's not having it.

00:25I find them oppressive.

00:27I miss the ornate.

00:28It's pretty nice.

00:29She's obsessed with historic places stuffed with details,

00:32like their favorite show, The Gilded Age.

00:35Look at this mirror.

00:36It is literally gilded.

00:38But if she can't give,

00:41their shared future could be on the line.

00:44I'm struggling with how boring these straight lines are.

00:48I like a lot of detail.

00:50And some of us don't.

00:51I'm frustrated with PJ right now

00:53because he's thinking about himself.

00:59I'm a professor of fashion design and management at Cornell University.

01:20And I'm a writer for a telecom website.

01:22I also play music.

01:24You wanna fly?

01:25You wanna fly?

01:26Definitely the most important member of our family is our daughter Penelope.

01:29She was born five months ago.

01:31Five and a half.

01:32She's got two teeth now.

01:34Hey, come on in.

01:36Give me some.

01:37Right now we live in a home that I bought in 2014.

01:40It's a modest Victorian.

01:43I love this house.

01:44I feel like this house is Denise.

01:47It is too much Denise.

01:49Too much Denise, exactly.

01:50I think he loves me, right?

01:52It's 100% yes.

01:53I moved into Denise's house.

01:55It's true.

01:56This house is like me.

01:57And I'm like, well, if you don't like my house,

01:59then do you actually even like me?

02:01But if your house can't make room for me,

02:04does that mean that you don't like me?

02:06He is right.

02:09We need to move in.

02:10What?

02:11What did you say?

02:12Not gonna trick me.

02:13We need to move in together.

02:16I am a maximalist.

02:18I don't know if you could tell by the...

02:20Your personality?

02:21My personality.

02:22Yeah.

02:23And the wall-to-wall decorations.

02:25Yeah.

02:26Yeah.

02:27I know that you're obsessed with the Gilded Age show.

02:33The interior design, the fashion,

02:35the architecture are linked together

02:38in such a powerful aesthetic.

02:42I like the late Victorian.

02:44Anything with leaded glass and beautiful detailing.

02:48Okay.

02:49I want Gilded Age.

02:50Yeah.

02:51I want opulent.

02:52I want, you know, that maximalist.

02:54More is more.

02:55PJ, are you on board with Victorian,

02:57with Gothic or Bible?

02:59I prefer maybe more of a craftsman vibe.

03:02Okay.

03:03Something a little simpler.

03:04PJ is a minimalist.

03:06I think less is more.

03:07And it's better to not have such a busy space.

03:11You guys were ready for a bigger house,

03:13which is very common.

03:14I know when I had my baby,

03:15it was like, all of a sudden,

03:16I was busting at the seams, right?

03:18Yeah.

03:19Garage.

03:20A garage for music.

03:21An isolated place where I can go be creative at midnight.

03:24Midnight.

03:25Okay.

03:26And I'm willing to go up to 850.

03:30Okay.

03:31That seems like a lot.

03:32I'd rather not be paying the house off forever.

03:34I'm willing to go a little higher because I feel very strongly about a walking kind of lifestyle.

03:41But not at the cost of, you know, privacy.

03:44I'd like to have a nice, decent sized yard to, you know.

03:47He wants chickens.

03:48Oh, okay.

03:49This is the next, this is the next set for us.

03:52My mom tells me I'm doing it all out of order because we haven't gotten married yet, but.

03:56It's not the order that they would do it on the Gilded Age either, but.

03:59Definitely not.

04:02So, um, you know, I have a little surprise for you guys.

04:07Okay.

04:08I'm so excited to show it to you.

04:10I'm Cynthia Nixon.

04:12You may know me as Ada Forte on HBO's The Gilded Age.

04:16I'm so happy to hear that you're fans of the series and that you adore the extravagant homes as much as we do.

04:22What?

04:23This is just for us?

04:24This is just for you.

04:25The Gilded Age was such a glamorous and fascinating period in New York's history.

04:29I hope you find a home that reflects what you most love about the Gilded Age.

04:34Good luck on your hunt.

04:35You are now players in the great game of real estate.

04:39The great game of real estate.

04:42The great game of real estate.

04:43That's right.

04:44You have to be kidding.

04:45I'm not kidding.

04:46Cynthia Nixon for you two.

04:47Can you believe it?

04:48Even she's like about to lose it.

04:52I know, I don't think I'm going to top that until I find you a house.

04:55Until you find it the perfect historic home.

04:57Let's try to top that.

04:58Okay.

04:59And the first house she's found is exactly like the show.

05:03An opulent Victorian for the Lady of the Manor.

05:06It's also located right where she wants to be, walking distance to campus.

05:11You found a parking spot.

05:13Hey, I just found a spot.

05:14It's a little brutal here, the parking, but look at this house.

05:18It's a big house.

05:19It's already a stretch.

05:24Is it green?

05:25Is it black?

05:26The market's pretty aggressive in Ithaca.

05:29We have low inventory and high demand.

05:31We don't have a lot of new construction happening.

05:33We do have older homes.

05:35The architectural details of this home are absolutely incredible.

05:38I think they're really going to speak to the Victorian style, to what Denise wants.

05:41There is also a grand music room, and I am expecting PJ to just go nuts for that.

05:47You did notice the parking though, right?

05:49No garage.

05:50No garage.

05:51No garage.

05:52I'm sorry about that, but proximity is everything with this house.

05:55Oh, my goodness.

05:56It's gorgeous, isn't it?

05:57There's a lot going on in here.

05:59This is wild.

06:00Stained glass.

06:01You're going to see a lot of really great details that are just going to make you go

06:04nuts for this house.

06:05And I love the furniture.

06:07The furniture actually is going to convey with the property.

06:10I know, PJ, you were looking for a more minimalist house, but...

06:13Yeah, less is more.

06:15This is a little bit more Denise.

06:16Look at this mirror.

06:17It is literally gilded.

06:18Literally gilded.

06:19Yeah.

06:20Literally gilded.

06:21And this could be our ballroom, PJ.

06:23Just imagine.

06:24We love hosting.

06:25Yeah, it's an excellent place for entertaining.

06:28Okay, we're going to have to talk about the elephant in the room here.

06:30The kitchen is small.

06:32Oh, wow.

06:33If you think about it, this isn't much smaller than your kitchen.

06:36I know, but it's the arrangement, the galley.

06:38It's separated from the hosting area.

06:41If you're cooking dinner for friends, you're banished in this separate area.

06:45We're talking big expense for kitchen renovations.

06:48We're adding on that 795, that's for sure.

06:51This is where I think, PJ, you're going to fall in love.

06:54Yeah, the organ.

06:56It's a giant organ in the middle of the house.

07:00This is crazy.

07:01It's definitely a unique detail, but it's not operational, right?

07:06I don't know if we'd be able to restore it.

07:09Yeah, it would probably be restore organ versus restore kitchen.

07:12I think we should just chop this out, and I can stick my electric organ in,

07:18and then we can control the volume of the electric organ rather than have this thing.

07:22I mean, it's just so beautiful.

07:25They're kind of creepy.

07:26I would want to preserve.

07:27I like how creepy they are.

07:29Okay.

07:30Let's fight about this later.

07:32There's more house to see.

07:33Okay, we've got to check out the solarium.

07:35We could turn this into an office.

07:37In the Gilded Age, you wouldn't have a house without a solarium.

07:40You must have a solarium.

07:41You must have a solarium.

07:43You must have a solarium.

07:44Oh, wow.

07:45This is a huge yard.

07:48And this might be good for your chicken coop, PJ.

07:50Yeah, we could have the chickens over here.

07:52I can see we have some student neighbors.

07:55You'll be able to play your instruments as loud as you want, as late as you want.

07:59Yeah, no noise concerns?

08:00I don't think so.

08:01I think if anything, let's hope the baby can sleep through some of the noise from the neighbors.

08:05Definitely in a busy area of town.

08:07I'm not sure if we really need to be around this many students with our daughter.

08:11So we're going to head up these stairs and check out the majority of the bedrooms.

08:15It's a lot of house to see.

08:17Oh, wow.

08:18What are you paying?

08:19Look at the ceilings in here.

08:21It gets better.

08:22Okay, so the remodeled bathroom.

08:24Yeah, this is a different era.

08:26This is gorgeous.

08:28I'm smitten.

08:30It is Gilded Age.

08:32It is everything I've dreamed of.

08:34You know, you've got the ornate.

08:35You have the opulence.

08:37We want to find a home together that brings both of our aesthetics into conversation with

08:42one another.

08:43And this house is definitely much more me than it is him.

08:46And honestly, I do feel a little bad about it because I love this house.

08:50I'm definitely worried that we'll be in the same situation with wall-to-wall Denise.

08:53You can definitely walk through this house and picture yourself with the servants and the

08:58outfits and all the stuff in the show.

09:00Even though we're never going to have anything like that.

09:02Not after we pay for the house.

09:04I don't know.

09:05There's really no isolated music space.

09:07What about the office space?

09:08And that's really what I'm looking for.

09:10That's the point of what we're looking for.

09:15The next place is more for PJ.

09:18But there's a surprise for Denise too.

09:20Oh my gosh.

09:22PJ's sick of living in the house Denise bought before they met.

09:29So today they're driving way out to Binghamton to see a home in his price range.

09:34But now she's not happy.

09:36So we are all the way in the Bing.

09:39We are.

09:40We're in the Bing.

09:41Yeah.

09:42We have been in this car for an hour.

09:44An hour.

09:45All of our friends are going to have to drive to Binghamton because one of the things we

09:49want right is a grand house.

09:50So we're just going to end up like Mrs. Russell and that first ball that she hosted at her

09:55house when no one showed up.

09:56Because are any of our friends going to drive all the way to Binghamton?

10:00We can make friends in Binghamton.

10:01Well there's plenty of parking.

10:02We can make friends in Binghamton.

10:03This one was listed at $549,000.

10:05It just had a $50,000 price reduction.

10:08We love the Bing.

10:09The Bing.

10:10The Bing.

10:11The Bing.

10:12We're in the city of Binghamton.

10:13This is a historical area.

10:15But in this market, those homes are a little bit less sought after than they are in Ithaca.

10:20So by going a little bit further, I'm saving them a huge amount of money.

10:24And I'm also putting them in a house that really has all the things that they want.

10:29Oh my gosh.

10:31Wow.

10:32The dormers, craftsman style.

10:37There's the turret.

10:38See that?

10:39That's your Victoria piece.

10:40Oh my gosh, the queen and turret.

10:41And the dormers are adorable.

10:43Look at the stonework.

10:44I love the details under the bay window, I have to say.

10:47Oh, look at this tile.

10:49Oh, this tile is gorgeous.

10:51Beautiful tile mosaic.

10:53Come on in here.

10:54This would be the formal dining room.

10:55What fascinates me about this house and has me a little bit hesitant is the integration

11:00of so many different kinds of styles.

11:02Yes, the beams read.

11:03You are all about the integration of different kinds of styles.

11:07Is that what you do?

11:08Don't you see the house we live in now that is so busy?

11:10I like the eclectic nature of things, but I feel like this house is trying to be craftsman.

11:17It's like oppressively long rectilinear forms.

11:20And at the same time has details like this one.

11:24There's a lot to look at it without it being bothersome.

11:26I like to be bothered by a lot of detail.

11:30And some of us don't.

11:33So let's head into the kitchen.

11:34This has been remodeled.

11:36Open, airy, and I love these cabinets.

11:39It's cozy.

11:41I want to show you the backyard and get a closer look at that carriage house.

11:45It's great.

11:47It's very peaceful.

11:48This is where the footman originally lived.

11:51The carriage house is so cool.

11:53It's exactly the type of thing I'm looking for.

11:55It's separate from the rest of the house so that when I'm loud, I don't have to worry

11:59about other people hearing it.

12:01And now we're headed up to level number two.

12:05This is definitely a grand primary bedroom.

12:07I like the leaded glass detail in here.

12:09So this is the ensuite bathroom.

12:11Wow.

12:12I would think this would be Penny's nursery.

12:16Exactly.

12:17This house could actually really work for us.

12:20It's got everything I need for my music.

12:23But I'm struggling with how boring these straight lines are.

12:27I find them oppressive.

12:29I'm not feeling the struggle and the oppression.

12:32I think it's pretty nice.

12:34The house that we're currently in is all Denise all day long.

12:39Looking around this house, I think there's room for both of us.

12:41See ya.

12:42It's in Binghamton though.

12:44I'm frustrated with PJ right now because he's thinking about himself.

12:48I don't think he's hearing that two hours commuting is just not going to bring me joy.

12:55So they head back to Ithaca, but the house is a major stretch.

13:02Are you crazy?

13:03A little bit.

13:04You know that.

13:05Today, PJ and Denise are back in Ithaca to see another Victorian with all the ornate details of the homes in their favorite show, The Gilded Age.

13:18The property is a big single family home currently being used as an inn.

13:23But PJ and Denise could use the front house as a private residence for themselves and rent out the carriage house in the back.

13:31It's also in a prime location near Denise's job at Cornell.

13:35Clearly walkable.

13:36It's a little on the busy side.

13:381.5 million dollars.

13:41Would we be poor?

13:42Would we be stupid to do this?

13:45It's opulent.

13:48It's Victorian.

13:49Are you crazy?

13:51A little bit.

13:52You know that.

13:53Hear me out.

13:54I think we should see it.

13:55Okay?

13:56And I have financial plans for it to work.

13:58And you could own Ithaca's favorite mansion.

14:00It's absolutely gorgeous.

14:02I've seen this house.

14:03My friend is the owner, client of mine.

14:05I have the ability to sell it.

14:07This is a pocket listing.

14:08No one else is coming after it.

14:10So we can take our time and go through the numbers.

14:12Let's do it.

14:13I love the colored glass.

14:16Is this beautiful?

14:17This is pretty grand.

14:19So here's our sitting room.

14:22Parlor room.

14:23Look at the ceilings in here.

14:26We can close these doors.

14:27This could be a music room.

14:28There's really two living rooms.

14:29Let me show you the next one.

14:30It does have the turret.

14:32I love the turret.

14:34This house makes me feel really excited about the possibilities.

14:38There's a lot of potential here for hosting big parties.

14:41What I love about this one, these little corner slides.

14:44Oh my gosh.

14:46When you have a house with like unique detailing, your house is like a museum.

14:50But you don't need to live in a museum to have fun.

14:52I want to live.

14:53I love museums.

14:54But I think for us to grow in our relationship, we should have a house together.

14:58This is totally a functional kitchen.

15:00Right.

15:01Closed off.

15:02But it's separated from the rest of the house.

15:03We'd have to prepare.

15:04Keep saying open concept, but you also say Gilded Age house.

15:07I know.

15:08Those are different things.

15:10Thank you, PJ.

15:11Yes.

15:12It's true.

15:13This is the main level laundry room.

15:15I like these original floors.

15:17And this is the second half baths.

15:19Remember, there's two half baths.

15:20The rest are all full for the property.

15:22Lots of laundry.

15:24That's pretty amazing.

15:25Yeah.

15:26I mean, it's a B&B, so.

15:27But who's doing all the laundry for all the guests?

15:32And the next place we're going to head is going to be to the bedrooms on the second floor.

15:37I like this ice cream cone here.

15:40Yeah.

15:41I don't know.

15:42I think that's maybe not the official term for that decorative detail.

15:45This was the room that I thought would be best for your primary.

15:49And then we have the ensuite here as well.

15:51The tile work is great.

15:53I love the big window.

15:54Wow.

15:56What I'm most excited to show you guys is going to be the carriage house.

15:59And the reason for that is, as you know, this property is 1.5 million.

16:03Yes.

16:04Yes.

16:05I think the carriage house would be your immediate income grab, because there's three units there.

16:10And that is what's going to make your numbers work.

16:12Bringing in anywhere between $24,000 to $54,000 a year, depending on how many units you rent out.

16:19It's a lot of work, but also a nice payoff.

16:22What do you think about the yard size?

16:23Is that going to work for you?

16:24This is great.

16:25Large enough for chickens?

16:27So let's check out this carriage house.

16:29Come on in.

16:30Wow.

16:31I think this house is a good value.

16:34And it's definitely interesting to realize that this is workable.

16:40Stylistically speaking, I would love PJ to cave and go for a home like this.

16:47It could be possible.

16:49So if we get creative here and we rent out these spaces, PJ, you could have your music space inside.

16:56Yeah.

16:57I'm not completely opposed to having a music space inside.

16:59Take your time.

17:00Think about it.

17:01Thanks, Jamie.

17:02Enjoy your walk home, okay?

17:03Okay.

17:04I'll see you guys later.

17:05Take care.

17:06Definitely gilded age.

17:07It's a very nice house.

17:09It's crazy that it's not impossible.

17:11I mean, I love the vision.

17:13I love imagining what our life could be like.

17:17This home is one in a million.

17:19Now it's time for them to make a decision.

17:22But with some sudden news from Jamie, their gilded dream is about to get a gut punch.

17:27Have you checked your phone?

17:28Denise and PJ are meeting at Cornell where she oversees a fashion collection to talk

17:42out their options and decide on their first home together.

17:45Hey, little one.

17:47But her near obsession with all things gilded age and some recent news are about to make

17:53that difficult.

17:54Have you checked your phone?

17:55No, we've been dressing all these ladies.

17:58Jamie texted to say that the bed and breakfast got pulled from the market.

18:02Oh, bummer.

18:03Yeah.

18:04I loved that place.

18:05It was so beautiful.

18:06Yeah, it was crazy.

18:07So well maintained.

18:09I mean, it's the best house we've looked at by far, but it's also incredibly expensive.

18:14And it would require an entire lifestyle change where we'd have to become innkeepers.

18:18Okay, so we have to regroup.

18:20With the inn off the market, they've narrowed their decision to their two other gilded age

18:25options.

18:26The Victorian is amazing.

18:28The ornate details.

18:29It's one of the most unique homes I've ever seen.

18:32And close to campus.

18:34It's listed at $7.95.

18:36There are a lot of things that need to happen.

18:39Need to happen or want to happen?

18:41I know you like are so bothered by that kitchen.

18:43Look at the kitchen.

18:44It's just cordoned off from the rest of the-

18:47Because it's a gilded age house.

18:49I know.

18:50It's a separate kitchen.

18:51That's the tradition.

18:53Let's let her have a little-

18:55Yeah.

18:56Bedtime.

18:57The Victorian has the drab demur.

19:01But you can play your music in a grand music room with a built in organ.

19:06It's so cool.

19:07It doesn't work.

19:08It could cost more than a car to fix it.

19:12The Craftsman in Binghamton is so much more affordable.

19:16Nice and like clean-

19:17Tall ceilings.

19:18That carriage house is just so perfect for being able to be creative.

19:21I know.

19:22I mean, I know you're worried about this commute, but I also feel like you're really

19:24hung up on the style of all this.

19:25I don't know.

19:26Of course.

19:27Of course I'm hung up on the style.

19:29That is, that's what I do.

19:30I teach in a design program.

19:32I'm always going to be thinking about the aesthetics, but I want you to be happy too.

19:37And I really just need to sleep on this.

19:41We bought the big, dark, mournful looking Victorian, but we love it.

19:56It's full of life on the inside.

20:00So many bedrooms.

20:02We can actually live the life we want to live.

20:05And proximity to campus is amazing.

20:07Yeah.

20:08I just can't believe we live here in this huge, crazy house.

20:11Just looking forward to spending more and more days here.

20:14The house was listed for 795,000.

20:16There were two other offers.

20:17So we ended up at 808.

20:19This one was so unique that we had to go for it.

20:22Do you mind taking the muffler off the snare?

20:25The original goal was to have like an isolated creative space away from everybody.

20:29And it's even better that we have a place to play that's for the whole family.

20:34We have an organ that doesn't work, but maybe one day will.

20:37It's a neighborhood that predominantly serves students, which means PJ, you can...

20:41Make loud music at midnight.

20:43Yes.

20:44And believe it or not, the kitchen isn't as bad as we thought it would be.

20:48Last week I took the chicken certification class and we can have up to six.

20:52Hold that.

20:53Hold that.

20:54I'm getting a text from Jamie.

20:55Hold on.

20:56It's another video from Cynthia Nixon.

20:59Let's check it out.

21:00I'm so excited to hear that you've purchased a home reminiscent of the Gilded Age.

21:05I hope you end up living your perfect Gilded dream.

21:08And I hope you're streaming the Gilded Age on Max.

21:11Now you're truly a part of high society.

21:14Oh my gosh.

21:15High society.

21:16We are living in the Gilded Age in this home.

21:18What would we call it?

21:19We have visitors that call often.

21:22Yes.

21:23We're going to be able to host parties.

21:25We've got a solarium.

21:26Once you have a solarium, you can't go back.

21:28We've got a solarium, you can't go back.

21:29We've got a solarium, you can't go back.
