Welcome to your affordable new home in the heart of the East Village, which is affordable because, well, you have to bathe in the living room. In fact, there are two units available at 328 East 6th Street that have a bathtub in the kitchen and living area, in case you’ve always dreamed of cooking up an elegant meal and taking a relaxing bubble bath in the same space.

One studio unit (#13) is decked out in dramatic black paint over its old wood floorboards (above). The artsy look is an appropriate cover for this old apartment, which includes a clawfoot tub in the kitchen/living area — a setup that was typical in tenement homes. Binge-watching your favorite Netflix show in a bubble bath, anyone? Or, perhaps you throw a party and use the tub as a giant ice bucket. The price: $1,900 a month.

Another unit (#12) for $1,900 a month sports a different layout, but comes with the same bathtub-in-kitchen arrangement (above). Perhaps a slight upgrade for this unit is the existence of an interior window, but this “window to nowhere” (below) is not merely a decorative element. Back in the old days, before building codes required an exterior window in each room to promote airflow, light, and some semblance of health for the huddled masses, landlords would install interior windows in interior walls. This would allow for some privacy and allow a little circulation inside these longer, darker, railroad-style apartments to prevent the spread of disease and illness. They were also referred to as “tuberculosis windows.”

And while Orange is the New Black‘s Taylor Schilling has dubbed bedrooms in kitchens “bitchens,” perhaps tubs in kitchens is a new portmanteau: “tubchens.”

And let’s not forget the shower-in-the-kitchen apartments that stand in eye-popping juxtaposition to the sleek, modern units that developers have been throwing up as fast as you can say “tax abatement.” Still, there’s something historically reassuring — if slightly less upscale — about viewing these old tenement apartments. In a city that still can’t keep up with the influx of newcomers compelled to make Manhattan their home, these turn-of-the-century flats remain a source of endless fascination.
