Listing for 7th Street triplex reimagined 'with Barbie’s (and Ken’s) signature style in mind'

A triplex unit at 242 E. Seventh St. has rolled out the pink carpet to woo a new owner. (Thanks to EVG reader Seth who spotted this listing online.)

The residence in a former synagogue between Avenue C and Avenue D has been on the market for nearly 70 days. Now the listing at NYLON Real Estate and Streeteasy for the $2.4 million home was reimagined with Barbie in mind. (Per the listing: "the photos have been virtually staged to help visualize the space with 'Barbiecore' inspired interior paint and furnishings.")

Here's more about the space: 
Welcome to Barbie's New York City dream home in the heart of downtown. This triplex apartment is a stunning 1-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom loft with a private rooftop terrace and a seamless blend of modern glam and old-world charm. Completely reimagined with Barbie's (and Ken's) signature style in mind, this rarely available home offers a quintessential city lifestyle in a landmarked building steeped in history. 

The lower level of the home greets residents with a sprawling open-plan living room, dining room, and kitchen with soaring ceilings and an abundance of natural light. Stained glass windows reminiscent of Barbie's 1990s dream houses date back to the early 1900s!
Built in 1908, the building was a synagogue before being converted to a residential property in 1985 with five units. 

Per the listing: 
The historical significance of the building is perfectly fitting for Barbie. Ruth Handler, the inventor of Barbie, was a Jewish American businesswoman. She created the doll, named after her daughter, Barbara, which debuted at the American International Toy Fair in New York City in 1959. 
And as an extra incentive: The unnamed seller is offering a $100,000 credit at closing for you to make all of your dream home dreams come true. With that, you could put in your Barbie-friendly pool with a slide.
