Endless rooms, a doll chandelier, framed eyeballs, and a haunting self-portrait
Photo: Kevin Hagen/Getty Images It comes as no surprise that the New York City home of accused sex trafficker Jeffery Epstein contains many horrors. The townhouse — one of the largest private homes in Manhattan — is on the Upper East Side , just off Central Park; it’s where Epstein is accused of abusing underage girls, and investigators seized child pornography from it during a search last week.
Heated Sidewalk The sidewalk outside the apartment is heated, which, after decades living in New York City, I did not even know was possible, although its sudden reality is very easy for me to accept. Dramatic Proportions Epstein appeared to be a fan of making things big that don’t have to be big. For instance, his reception room spans two stories; what I’m picturing is the house from the final scene in Scarface.
Prison Guard Mural The Times cites a lot of design nonsense in a recent piece about the townhouse, but the single piece of information that will go down in infamy is that Epstein possesses a mural depicting “a photorealistic prison scene that included barbed wire, corrections officers and a guard station, with Mr. Epstein portrayed in the middle.” He reportedly commissioned it a few years ago, and now it’s displayed somewhere on the second floor.
