[Yesterday]
The listings went live in late June for 427 E. 12th St., home of the Karl Fischer-architected condos between Avenue A and First Avenue... There's still work left to do here, as you can see.
In any event, there are 10 units that range in price from $850,000 for a one-bedroom home to $2.395 for the penthouse. And for some reason we looked at Streeteasy and saw that of the eight units on the market, five were already in contract.
Not sure what the big draw is here (epoxy finishes?) ... Nice amenities, sure.
[Some day at 427]
To the listing:
Residences feature sleek concrete floors with epoxy finishes and floor to ceiling double pane windows. Several residences are complimented with a private outdoor space that range in size. The custom designed chefs kitchen is finished with walnut veneer and satin lacquer cabinetry, Caesar stone countertops, back painted glass, and is fully equipped with stainless steel appliances by Fischer & Paykel. Bathrooms are appointed with oversized bathtubs, custom built vanities, glass enclosed frameless showers, and Duravit & Kohler fixtures throughout.
At any rate, residences will need those double pane windows during the impending construction at Douglas Steiner's massive new development down the block.

Its ugly, incongruent look is a given.
ReplyDeleteBut what is bothering me about their listing is the use of "complimented" when it should be "complemented". DOES NO ONE know how to write anymore!????
Yeah, cuz an outdoor deck will remark what nice slacks you're wearing that day. Grr!
At those prices the windows should be triple pane, not double!
ReplyDeletealong w/ the amenities, the prices are actually VERY competitive for location, luxuries and size...and most people buying (people who have money that is) will jump at these since prices are starting to go up again in the last couple of months...
ReplyDeleteRelax, Susanne. It's doubtful that the kind of people who can afford to pay pay $1,025,000 for a one bedroom apt are regular readers. Then again, if they are reading this: please shove your Caesar stone countertops and frameless showers up your collective asses. Thank you.
ReplyDeletei am relaxed, Ken. thanks for your concern.
ReplyDeleteand i am not someone who can imagine ever having money to buy. im just a long time new yorker who looks at the market and dreams of one day winning the lottery...
"feature," "complimented with," "finished with," "fully equipped with" and... wait for it: "appointed with."
ReplyDeleteCan someone please compliment me with a vomit bucket?
Dear GOD that is ugly. But if you live in it at least you don't have to look at it...
ReplyDeleteItalian Renaissance Revival Style is no longer being built I'm afraid Atlas time marches on and so does architectural styles look at the bright side it will have pre-wired FIOS...
ReplyDeleteLooks like every other glass box to me, why bother having a well known designer if they roll out the same old cliched crap?
ReplyDelete...if I hit the lottery, this particular style just won't cut it. Just sayin'.
