Mystery on Fifth Avenue

Article here.

Visuals (or for those who don't like to read) here.

So apparently, this family moved into an Upper East Side apartment and decided to renovate their new apartment and make it more personal. As a result, the designer Eric Clough turns the apartment into an intricate custom-made scavenger hunt for the family, complete with puzzles, clues, and even its own story book and theme music.

... Okay, not only is the apartment in the Upper East Side, but it's sophisticated and incredibly unique as well? And it manages to encapsulate something fantastic within the sharp reality of New York City... amazing!

Of course, the 4,200 square foot apartment did cost $8.5 million even before renovations (which cost $300 per square foot), but even so...

I'm still very, very, very jealous.

It's gorgeous even without the impressive (albeit slightly creepy) puzzles!
