Hang out this summer in a St. Mark's Place penthouse — hammocks included



In case that you are in the market for a "furnished summer penthouse rental" on St. Mark's Place. Then you're in luck! Here's a new listing via Streeteasy:

gorgeous loft in the heart of the east village ...massive open loft with windows on 4 sides, a gigantic fire place, hardwood floors and 14' ceilings. windowed kitchen and windowed bath, top floor of elevator building.

Hmm, no mention of those hammocks seen hanging in the pic above. Also, that fireplace might not be too useful if we are in for the oppressively hot summer that summer weather predictors are, um, predicting...



Anyway! The rent: $5,900. The penthouse is at 12 St. Mark's Place — in the former German-American Shooting Society Clubhouse. Back in the late 1880s, the building housed a saloon, bowling alley as well as a small shooting range in the basement.

    Looks like a movie set staring Anne Margaret and what's up with the bicycle wheel(?) decoration?

    Apparently that's a guitar-burning fireplace.

    AND the building has a brand new tree planted in front of it:

    @Anonymous 8:08—Bicycle wheel? I thought that was a dream catcher!
