Note: This apartment, with the exception of the master bedroom, has been destroyed. Including, but not limited to, all furniture, most doors (esp. cupboard doors), shelving units, electronics, appliances, counters and artworks. The only things that have escaped with minor damage are books, but they lie scattered across the floor.
Although not the exact top floor, Ichabod has ownership of one half of the second-to-top floor - his is apartment two, should you wish to call. Spacious and open, the suite is the epitome of modern living.
The apartment has excellent views from two sides (with impenetrable sun shielding on every window and sliding glass door at the touch of a button - or the will of the automatic timer should one be too preoccupied to hit said button). There are four bedrooms, three bathrooms, a laundry, and an open plan lounge, kitchen and dining area within.
The floors are covered either in plush cream carpet or black slate tiles, the lounge area is sunken - centred on the black slate fireplace that takes up a great deal of the south wall - and all the furniture is comfortable but chic.
Where there isn't black, the fittings are chrome or varying shades of brown that accentuate the carpets; the master bed is still covered with brown suede and creamy two thousand thread count sheets but the frame is now a majestic wooden canopy bed with deep red curtains generally drawn back (but they do completely close in the bed, should one wish). The ensuite is still tiled in black slate and there is an armchair for the corner of the master bedroom (matching the recliner in the lounge). The balcony furniture is cushion-covered wood.
There are brand new chrome appliances throughout the rest of the apartment - washer, dryer, dishwasher, microwave and fridge - and the second ensuited bedroom has been outfitted as a guest room, with a queen-sized bed. There is an arrangement of antiques Kerr couldn't bear to part with when he left Sawyl in the fourth, empty bedroom. The smallest bedroom is used as a very stylishly outfitted study with a couple of walls of books surrounding the massive black desk. There is a red velvet loveseat positioned across from the desk.
In the lounge/dining area, a large, shaggy cream rug sits under the two-layered glass coffee table and the lounge suite is entirely new. Where before it was black leather, it is now two specially-made, high-backed four seater sofas facing one another - covered in chocolate suede - and a recliner armchair in between them, directly opposite the fireplace and the television mounted above it. All the previous artworks and tapestries are gone, generally replaced by large, flat mirrors or wood-surrounded ones. On the large wall overlooking the fourteenth century eight seater dining suite is an enormous black and white photograph taken from the Liffey River at night, framing one of Dublin's most recognisable bridges with the city in the background. There are a few photographs of Ireland landscapes and cityscapes now decorating the walls throughout the rest of the apartment as well - in various sizes.
There are three professionally mounted and framed sketches that Kerr's former friend, Mandy, drew for (of) him enlivening the visitor's trip down the hallway, showing an artistic impression of Kerr's back tattoos, one of Ben and a very intimate (though fictional) vision of Kerr and Mandy naked and entwined as only lovers would be. They are highly personal and evocative pieces, wrought by Kerr and Ichabod's friend's exceptional skill and always gave Kerr pause to think every time he walked from his bedroom to the front door.
