Backyard, Avenue C style

A new listing arrived this week for a "true" four bedroom apartment at 19 Avenue C between Second Street and Third Street.

Kind of a starter apartment. Get four friends (or more!) and split up the $4,400 monthly fee.

There are plenty of selling points, such as the "tons of closets" and "tons of light." And more! Per the listing at Streeteasy:

I have a beautiful TRUE 4 bedroom (doesn't need to be converted) DUPLEX apartment on the edge of the LES and East Village. There's a LARGE PRIVATE BACKYARD for the apt. The apt has 1 AND A HALF BATHS, hard wood floors, tons of closets, and gets tons of light/ numerous windows. There is a BACKYARD for laying out/ grilling etc.

Behold the backyard...



From this photo supplied to Streeteasy, it looks more like a concrete pit than a backyard. Wonder if you can plug any drains and fill it with water for a pool?

  2. Make it 8 friends, or 12 friends! Shoot a Webcast sitcom! Get rich! Move into the 30K place on St. Mark's! Go now!

  3. Oh hell, Grieve, if there's enough space for them to set up a table for their cases of Schlitz Lite, room to fling back their heads and bellow into the wee hours, and toss a few into that basketball ring there, these sodden, clueless frat fools for whom this space is so obviously intended would set up in an Elizabethan bear-baiting pit. We're not talking taste, class, or a sense of design here.

  4. The 30k rental is on 8th, not St Marks.

  6. 'Love how Grieve laments the Animal Houses in the neighborhood yet basically beckons for the creation of another.

    Get four friends...gee thanks.

    Let's give free advertising for the real estate broker, too.

  7. If these douchebags started bouncing balls behind my apartment constantly with the echo between the building I'd go nuts on em. Go to the park ya douchebags.

  8. I cat sat in the apartment above that space. It's generally super quite. I think the super lives in the lower level facing the court yard and blasts his music so loud and with tons of bass. It was loud enough for the pictures on the wall to vibrate.

  9. @1:52: Your statement makes no sense! It's "super quite" - I presume you mean "super quiet" - EXCEPT that the super blasts his music so much that the pictures on the walls vibrate?

  10. I vote to throw all the douchebags in the neighborhood into the Elizabethan bear baiting pit. That just sounds like it would be a lot of fun to watch.
