Njoo uone nyumba hii yenye vyumba vitano, chumba cha kulala mbili iliyopo kati ya Gramercy Park na Union Square, umbali wa block moja tu kutoka Irving Place. "Mon Bijou" ipo ndani ya jengo la Beaux Arts lililojengwa kabla ya vita lililojengwa mwaka 1903, likiwa katikati ya nyumba za kihistoria kwenye barabara ya amani yenye miti katika Wilaya ya Kihistoria ya Stuyvesant Square. Wakati wa kuingia, wakazi wanakaribishwa na usanifu wa kifahari ukiwa na marmor asilia, mapambo ya kipekee, na kazi za chuma maalum zinazoonyesha kwenye njia za jengo.

Hii ni ghorofa ya chumba cha kulala mbili yenye mwangaza wa jua iliyopo kwenye ghorofa ya tano, ikiwa na ngazi nne za kupanda na inaonyesha tabia nyingi za kabla ya vita. Mingi ya dari, mapambo ya asili, sakafu za mbao, na madirisha saba yenye mwelekeo tatu yanaunda mazingira yanayokaribisha ndani ya nyumba. Mpangilio wa vyumba vitano unaendana kwa sasa kama chumba cha kulala mbili chenye chumba kikubwa cha kulia lakini unaweza kubadilishwa kuwa mipangilio kama vile chumba cha kulala mbili kilicho na ofisi au kabati la kutembea, au hata chumba cha kulala tatu kinachoweza kubadilishwa. Mipango mbadala ya ghorofa inapatikana kwa ajili ya kujadiliwa.

Chumba cha kuishi chenye nafasi kubwa kinajivunia dirisha kubwa zaidi lenye mandhari ya jiji na kinatazama nyumba za matofali maarufu. Eneo kubwa la kuishi linaunganishwa na chumba kikubwa cha kulia chenye madirisha mawili marefu yanayokabili upande wa kaskazini, yanayohakikisha mwangaza mzuri wa asili wakati wote wa siku. Chumba kikuu cha kulala kina milango ya Kifaransa, kinaweka kitanda cha ukubwa wa malkia, na kinajumuisha kabati kubwa la kuanzia dari hadi sakafu, dirisha linalokabili kusini, na rafu za ndani za kuhifadhi. Chumba cha pili cha kulala kinastahili kutumika kama chumba cha wageni, chumba cha watoto, au ofisi na kina kabati la asili lililojengwa ndani lenye droo na nafasi za juu za kuhifadhi, likikamilishwa na dirisha linalokabili mashariki kwa mwangaza wa asubuhi na mchana.

Jiko ni kubwa zaidi lenye kabati pande zote mbili, ikiwa na nafasi kubwa ya kuhifadhi, nafasi kubwa ya kukatia, sinki mbili, jiko la gesi, friji kubwa, na dirisha linalokabili mashariki. Bafu iliyorekebishwa ina vigae vya kawaida vya rangi nyeupe, mvua ya kisasa ya kuingia, meza ya bafu, na dirisha kwa mwangaza zaidi. Mambo mengine ya urahisi ni pamoja na mashine ya kufulia na kupuria ndani ya nyumba.

Sera za ushirikiano zinaruhusu umiliki wa pied-à-terre, zawadi, ununuzi wa wazazi, wadhamini, na wanyama wa kipenzi (sawa na idhini ya bodi). Kukodisha kunaruhusiwa baada ya miaka miwili kwa idhini ya bodi. Vifaa vya jengo vinajumuisha mtu wa virtual, mkurugenzi, masanduku ya kuhifadhi yanayokodishwa (orodha fupi ya kusubiri), na kuhifadhi baiskeli bila malipo.
