Writer William Middleton is no stranger to cities, having spent five years in NYC, 10 years in Paris, and 10 years in Houston, where he moved to work on the biography "Double Vision," about French couple Dominique and John de Menil, who transformed the Houston art scene. But after 16 years researching and writing, William knew he wanted to move back to NYC.
A little over a year ago, he moved into Related's Hudson Yards-adjacent rental Abington House, where his handsome one-bedroom boasts an incredible view right onto the final spur of the High Line. Using his favorite dark gray paint color and a wall of floating bookshelves, William transformed his one-bedroom into a "clean and modern" oasis for himself and his six-year-old French Bulldog, Hubert. Ahead, take a tour of William's home and hear about his urban experiences, why he chose this building and neighborhood, and what it's like to have one of the best people-watching perches in all of NYC.
