Discussion about 334 West 22nd Street #12
Negatives: REALLY AN ALCOVE STUDIO, Walkup, Tired looking building, high monthly payments, lack of closet space, no full size fridge, floors panted white so likely very poor condition Positives: Well renovated aside from small dorm size fridge and painted floors. Only writing this because I am tired of brokers advertising studios as 1 beds when there is CLEARLY NO SEPARATE BEDROOM. At open house everyone was commenting that this is too small for their needs as they were expecting a real 1 bed, so broker was pushing this as an investment, when price is clearly too high to make sense as such, which is another pet peeve...

Some epic broker babble in the listing. Not sure how statements like the following have not led to 3x asking...

"lovingly re-imagined & re-invented by a clever designer to become the lofty, awesome, designer, swimming-in-sunshine"

"Two gentle flights up"

"bright residence on one of Chelsea's most divine tree-lined blocks"

"The magazine-worthy Living Room sports 7 windows& literally floats in the surrounding treetops"

"The room is open, cheerful, peaceful"

"woodsy, garden views with its lofty configuration."

"This resplendent room offers a designer closet, & like the entire home, proudly features high ceilings & plenty of soulful good feeling. "

"Not only does the enviable location come with bragging rights"

"After a day of 'working it' in the wilds of Manhattan, you'd be lucky to call this OASIS home"

Thanks for the laugh

Went to the open house with a friend looking for a one bedroom. This apartment is about 500 square feet and SMALLER THAN MANY STUDIOS I have seen. Stevejhx - have you actually seen this apartment? The comment about "originally a choppy 2 bedroom" is irrelevant and foolish. I live in an 800sf real 1 bedroom in the east village that I could by this logic claim was originally a choppy 4 bedroom occupied by a family of 8 - is this what I should do when selling, or would I then for fair disclosure have to admit it was a tenament slum at the time? Steve?

Which magazine?

More like "Ripley's Believe It or Not!"

Oooh! Open house Sunday! I can't wait to take in the "resplendent" bedroom with designer closet at an address that's an "enviable location" with "bragging rights"!

This apartment is like 450 sq ft, which = over $1200/sf asking... and the building is a complete dump. Time to lay off the crack (which is surely being purchased in the ghetto just across the street @ 9th ave), lower the price by at least $100K, and for god's sake please stop plagiarizing apartment descriptions from better homes and garden (yeah I read it BIATCH!)
