...and two of the floor-through spaces are now on the market...
Interesting space with skylights, roof deck, etc., though you'll be paying for it...
Here is the $7,000-per-month unit...
And the $7,500-per-month unit...
Spotted these two listings at Streeteasy ... Per the listing at Bold New York, looks as if you can snag the whole building for $24,000 monthly ... Apparently Anderson Cooper has made living in old firehouses, uh, hot...
Does it come with a high-voltage laser containment system in the basement?
ReplyDeleteIf so, don't tell the EPA.
Properties like this make my mouth water. I would love to have the entire place to myself, boyfriend, and cat. SIGH...
ReplyDelete7,000 a month ?
ReplyDeleteI don't even want to talk to someone who can afford that kind of rent. If you have so much disposable income that you can afford to flush 7 grand down the drain every month, well, I don't even know what to say.
Mmm, space porn.
ReplyDeleteLots of charm on the outside, but inside? Strictly from hunger.
ReplyDeleteTHAT'S all seven grand buys, these days? Wow.

ReplyDeleteI just spit coffee out all over my desk.
"Wow. This place is great. When can we move in? You gotta try this pole. I'm gonna get my stuff. Hey. We should stay here. Tonight. Sleep here. You know, to try it out."
I can't believe that movie is almost 30 years old.
Here is the full AD for the Apt:

The furnishings make it look as if he can't afford to furnish the place. It's a cool building, but if you can't afford to make it look nice inside with some nice furniture, why bother?
ReplyDeleteErica,
ReplyDeleteI knew someone who lived on an entire floor of a converted old department store. It was vast and amazing, labyrinthine, verging on impractical/ridiculous--with enormous windows, a mechanical elevator, and to walk from the living room to the bathroom was like... a walk. Almost a block long. Ceilings as high as... it was incredible.
He well could afford all sorts of antique furnishings, designer pieces but chose simple, generic, almost Ikea pieces for some reason. When I visited him, I was always comfortable (heating that space must have been some task) but never remembered the furniture... only my host and his amazing apartment.
I think he wanted the space itself to soothe him and shine. Putting elements to contrast that would have meant conflict and upkeep. He was a minimal guy. We slept on a similar futon thing, but I don't remember that, I remember him, and that amazing space, and how I didn't want to leave him, or that wondrous space in the morning.
