Here's an Open House Report from a time long long ago.
When this property hit the market I was still in my RE shopping infancy. I was still drawn like a moth to a flame when I saw the words...'Penthouse'. The word congers images of swanky dudes in smoking jackets, ascot necks wraped to prefection, sipping brandy from over sized snifters on the veranda overlooking a twinkling city just as the sun settles over the horizon. Leggy blonds lounging like Erte scluptures. Oh, how reality crushes our imagination.
The 'Penthouse' which is in fact on the top floor of this building (penthouse's only criteria) sports a reasonable planted terrace which is it's best feature. One not so oversized livingroom/diningroom which is square which forces it to function as a Lr. as opposed as a place to eat. It has a narrow uninspired kitchen with an illegal washer/dryer. A hall way leads to two reasonable sized bedrooms. I did not get out my ruler but, this is the smallest 1400 sq/ft I've ever seen...maybe that measure includes the terrace. The CC are very high for both the apt. space and the lack luster building. At the time there was a $300plus addition for the CC I think for energy but, today I have no idea. There really is nothing wrong with this place. It's like a single girl out for a night on the town and the only one that doesen't know she's not pretty is her. She wants to be wined and dined, showered with compliments and gifts and then acts suprised when there are no takers. The fact that the common charges are possibly topping $3000 put's this sad little competitor in the plutonium club. Given it's long and unattractive history falco will set the price...$825,000. Tough nut to swallow but, what the heck are you doing swallowing nuts?

e67thstreet?
that little sliver of RE on the terrace.. can two people pass or is that like a good spot to get a cheap thrill if a lady has to pass by you?
For your ascot wearing, movie star partying purposes... I'd blow out the kitchen.... I'm in the other camp, I like cooking and mingling w/ the crowds... how can I throw my one-line zingers if I can't hear the flow of the conversation?
