So 114 E. 10th St. between Second Avenue and Third Avenue is new to the market.

The listing at Douglas Elliman tells what you will get:

Available immediately and delivered vacant, this turnkey townhouse has been meticulously renovated and is located on the most beautiful tree-lined street in Manhattan's East Village. Laid out over six floors with five bedrooms, four and a half baths, home office, plus a dry basement for storage or a wine cellar, the north and south exposures provide an abundance of natural light and enchanting views of trees and townhouses.

Original features dating back to its 1861 design have been retained and merged with a major structural upgrade and tasteful modern renovations which include, a complete redesign of the roof with a sauna and outdoor shower, professionally designed and landscaped garden, re-glazing of the fireplaces and flue mechanicals and adding gas lines to the fireplaces, all of which work with the click of a button. New central air and heating systems were also added along with recessed lighting, modern wiring for sound and home entertainment, and video-intercom and security alarm systems.

Only the finest materials were used for this masterful design. The landmarked façade features a brownstone base and exposed brick upper levels. A separate entrance under the stoop allows access to a garden-level apartment with its own kitchen that is perfect for staff or visiting friends and family.

And it can belong to you for $7.5 million.

    They did a nice job mixing past and present. If I had a fireplace like that I wouldn't leave the apartment!

  4. They forgot to mention the Crusties who like to regularly camp out on that corner. Or as the real estate agent said right after she closed the sale: Surprise!

  5. Out of doors shower? Where's the fuckin' pool?

  6. Somehow that seems cheap, although the kitchen is not as "high end" as it could be and the staging is really bad (all cheap furniture) I wonder if this is some kind of flip?
