Price for Novogratz-designed penthouse keeps falling; and see-through balcony arrives

Back in February, we wondered what those thingamajigs things were above the garage at 238 E. Fourth St., the fancy new six-level home...



Well! Now we all know... they hold up the see-through balcony...





Meanwhile, the magazine-ready two-floor (plus deck!) penthouse that Bob and Cortney Novogratz designed here will now cost you less... the PH was listed by Corcoran in March at $3.75 million... Last Thursday, the PH was reduced by $200,000 ... Here's the pricing history via Streeteasy:

03/10/2010 Listed by Corcoran at $3,750,000.
04/08/2010 Price decreased by 9 percent to $3,400,000.
04/21/2010 Price decreased by 6 percent to $3,195,000.

So the price has fallen 15 percent in less than two months... Perhaps that Novogratz name had prompted some inflated pricing at the outset... Naaaah.

I must admit that that balcony is pretty badass! Let's just hope that the buyer (female) has a fondness for skirts & not underwear...

I loathe the new building. It doesn't fit in the with neighborhood, it's ripe for repeated tagging (all that wood on the ground floor), the tiny security camera, which a local crackhead (really) installed may or may not work, and next door neighbors have been complaining about the new building and its owners. Novogratz and clan, go somewhere else, please!
