What Up Family?
Welcome to The Edit with Aaron Seawood, a lifestyle letter serving a weekly dose of real estate, culture, and wisdom—all in three minutes or less. Let’s dive in.
Real Estate Remix
This newly listed Greek Revival townhouse in Brooklyn Heights was too fly to ignore. Besides having good bones, 37 Sidney Place was recently redecorated by interior decorator Sasha Bikoff who added rich, jewel-toned colors, plush fabrics, and bold wall coverings that reflected the owner’s eclectic personal style. It’s a treat for the eyes and certainly differentiates itself from the typical neutral-toned homes we see staged all the time. The $17M single-family townhouse is 23 feet wide with 6 bedrooms and 7.2 baths. I love the green color scheme in the garden room and the mural in the primary bedroom is dope! Take a look for yourself.
NYC Insider: What’s Happening This Week
Holiday markets can be great, but they can also get mad busy, making it tough to actually get any shopping and gift buying done. This market however is by appointment only and located inside a loft in SoHo. Since it’s curated by Salon 21, you know their products are actually worth it. There’s a ton of cool home goods, art, and jewelry. It just opened on Monday so snag an appointment before they sell out.
Weekly Gem 💎
Admit it! You are dope.
I posted this on my Instagram last week and got a lot of responses so I wanted to share it here again in a less fleeting format. Admit it! You are dope. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. You’ve grinded for YEARS to become who you are today. It’s time to stop pretending to be less than you are in order to protect someone else’s ego. Be unapologetically who you are—you’ve earned that.
The Best Homes on the Market This Week
Here are three of my favorite fly listings in NYC across all price points. Because Team Carte Blanche is all about the people, not the price.

Before you go…
