A Cinematic, Art-World Residence Available for Photo, Film & TV Step into The Mortimer Club: a visually arresting, story-rich location that feels equal parts eccentric estate, curated gallery, and dreamscape retreat. Built in the 1860s and "Victorianized" a few decades later, this historic upstate NY home was completely restored, renovated, and redesigned (with a nod to its design history) starting in 2017. This one-of-a-kind home offers multiple distinct looks within a single property, making it an exceptionally versatile setting for photo shoots, feature films, television, commercials, and editorial work. The Property A striking plum-hued Painted Lady with ornate detailing and a turreted silhouette, the exterior immediately signals character, mystery, and sophistication. The stone patio and wrought-iron seating evoke a European garden salon, perfect for atmospheric establishing shots or intimate outdoor scenes. Ideal for: Period-inspired productions Fashion and lifestyle editorials Romantic, gothic, or whimsical narratives “Eccentric benefactor” or “artist’s estate” exteriors Main Living Room This light-filled interior blends antique elegance with contemporary art sensibility. A dramatic chandelier, fireplace focal point, layered artwork, wallpaper moments, and collected furnishings create a space that feels lived-in, cultured, and cinematic. Perfect for: Prestige TV interiors Character-driven dramas and dramedies Fashion, beauty, and luxury lifestyle shoots Therapist, writer, academic, or art-world character settings The room offers excellent depth for wide shots, rich backgrounds for dialogue scenes, and natural visual anchors for dynamic framing. "The Boudoir" and "The Library" Two guest rooms designed down to the last detail; one a rose and emerald Ziegfeld fantasy, the other a smoky Gentleman's retreat... complete with floor-to-ceiling bookshelves that hide secrets. Attic / Loft Space A truly unique setting, the attic reads as surreal, bohemian, and transportive. Exposed beams, draped textiles, layered rugs, floor seating, and warm ambient lighting create a dreamlike, liminal environment unlike a typical residential interior. Ideal for: Dream sequences and fantasy elements Indie and experimental films Music videos and performance art Meditation, ritual, or intimate emotional scenes This space excels at conveying mood, introspection, and symbolic storytelling.
