Wacky-n-Tacky

And completely over-priced for a no-view, low-floor 2/2 in 'original' (estate) condition, Beresford or no.

I'm bidding on the mountain lion and the 2 bob cats. I need to upgrade my décor.

It looks to be in pretty good shape, and the original kitchen and baths are worth money. Speck's late wife and her then-husband bought in the early 1960s, and didn't screw anything up other than new stove and refrigerator.

I visited some people in a very posh building on the East Side. The renovations were gorgeous. Then they showed me their "trophy room". It was a one room version of this place. The difference was that everything displayed were animals they had hunted.

I love how most listing photos virtually stage certain apts by adding decor, but here they actually erase the taxidermy to make it look better.

I agree with nwt, the kitchen and baths have great appeal, although perhaps the matching wood toilet seat cover is a bit much.

That bathroom is gorgeous but I'd love to add a door into the entrance gallery. Years ago I went into a taxidermist shop. It was a beautiful building but being in there was SPOOOOOKY. I guess they included the before & after photos so you won't be too shocked when you see the place. Yikes!

Those bathrooms are fabulous. The pedestal sink is perfect. So happy that they haven't been ripped out and replaced with some passing fancy. Classic and so few of them left in great condition. Likewise, the kitchen -- the cabinets are special. To each his own, but it would be a shame to see them end up at the dump.

I read in some building's alteration agreement at offeringplanet.com, maybe the Beresford's, that original metal cabinets being taken out go to the basement for other shareholders who want to reuse them.

Very forward thinking of the Board. Hopefully, the stockpiling extends to things like the porcelain water knobs, tiles ( is this even feasible?) and the other "original to the building" period fixtures as well.

It sold, at full ask.
