We looked at a "micro loft" for sale yesterday on East Second Street. Today, let's check out what you might call a "micro studio" rental with a "loft style" bedroom at 105 E. 10th St. between Second Avenue and Third Avenue.
Per the Village Living Rentals listing, this studio features:
Oak strip flooring, high ceilings and crown molding.
Apartment has large, full separate bathroom.
Kitchen is also separate from the living space.
Bedroom is loft style!
There is a decorative fireplace!
There does not appear to be much headroom coming into the bedroom/living room/fireplace area… (tenants may need a "watch your head" sign…)
Asking price: $1,700.
$1,700 lol!
ReplyDeleteThat's the saddest little kitchen I've ever seen.
ReplyDeleteshut the front door, $1700?!?! like the fireplace tho....
ReplyDeleteThat is pathetic.
ReplyDeletemini bathroom...with mini shower?
ReplyDeleteGarbage.
ReplyDeletethis is a glorified walk-in closet!!!! omg
ReplyDeleteFour years ago I gave up a rent stabilized "microloft" on one block from this place.
ReplyDeleteIt looked like this, with a toilet room (no heat) and a shower stall...move the coats please.
When I took the place it was $600, which was pretty competitive at the time. When I left 22 years later it was 1150.
They slapped up some new micro-cabs and got $1800. And it's turned over three times in four years. They may be getting more by now.
Compared to the redo on 11th and 3rd Ave (9300 plus for a 2 BR), it sounds like a deal.
But it's not a neighborhood building price. Although Air B&B seems to be paying people's rents these days...
I think mine is smaller but more expensive
ReplyDeletePerfect for a college student or post college-grad not letting his/her college days go. $1700? No problem; mommy and daddy can afford that.
ReplyDeleteI wonder what the square footage is?... gotta be around 300.
ReplyDeleteNotice that there is no actual toilet in any of the pics, guess you use the sink for that!
No oven, only two burners? Are they for fucking real?
Now of course I wonder what the actual apartment/space was originally like, who would put a fireplace in a closet?
Loft style bedroom? Thats a fucking mattress pad holder.
This shit should be illegal, it reminds me of a shitty SRO i was in as kid when our old building had "problems"
There is a bathroom ... it's on the site of the listing... I just didn't include in the post!
ReplyDeleteIf you want a bathroom, move to Ohio.
ReplyDeleteyet, in spite of it all, a lease will be signed very very soon.
ReplyDeleteI recently saw a listing, very similar, but the weird tiny kitchen was in a closet next to the toilet which was in another closet. I will try to find the listing and if I do will come back and repost the link because it's hysterical.
ReplyDeleteOh, PLEASE find that one Jill!
ReplyDeleteBingo. Nice fireplace though.

haha. Thanks Jill! Bit of a stretch to call that 3 rooms!
ReplyDeleteBut I do like the fireplace too. I could make it work!
this reminds met of an apartment on Fifth Avenue I saw many years ago. There was a line out the door to see it because it was a large studio for $1100 in 2002, with a ritzy address. It was tiled floor to ceiling with cheap linoleum; looked out on a wall, and the eat-in-kitched was a hot plate on a 2 by 4 in a closet that wasn't deep enough for a coat hanger.
ReplyDeleteNo wonder people are running around drunk and screamming !
