Insanity Pricing....

I disagree with you about the rooms being small: two of the bedrooms are very small but I think the living room, kitchen and master bedroom are all reasonably standard size for new construction these days.
Secondly, not every room is "cursed with neighboring apt windows within feet of this apt's windows" - both the living room and the smallest bedroom face the street and have a view of the apartment building across the street - like 50% all of the apartments in New York.
But as far as the master bath goes, WTF puts the toilet in a glass enclosure? I mean, what's the goal there? It doesn't even go up to the ceiling so it certainly not doing anything to isolate odors (and you would think a ventilation fan would do that job). So what is with that?

Agree on that toilet situation. Any chance you push a button and that glass goes dark? Since my first trips to Europe as a kid I've always appreciated the separate toilet from the shower area. However this doesn't quite get you there.

Agree w/ 30yrs on the room size: they're not bad, and not that different that what you would find in other buildings built on a brownstone-sized lot. At least this unit has the advantage of a side window in the LR. Personally I'd rather lose the BR adjacent to the LR and have a larger LR, particularly since it is also the DR.

And that bathroom is sooooo wrong!

I have not been down this block in years. This building, which I have no problem with, used to be an old carriage house that was a gym I went to years ago. Personally, I find this building more useful than that prior structure that didn't really serve any real purpose.

Keith,
Upon first glance I was thinking the same thing Re: the glass becoming opaque, but to do that you need SmartGlass and this doesn't look like that.

Looks like the designer planned to do one of those douchy double showers and then realized they didn't have room for the terl so it had to go in the shower. On the plus side at least overflows will be contained...

Your vote: Most witless trendy bathroom 'feature':
a) those double showers or
b) the freestanding soaking tubs in front of oversized windows?

I was staying in a hotel in China where bathroom wall was all glass with a view. They did have privacy curtains. I have to say that while I liked that due to extra light when you do not need privacy, it would not work if there is another building within 500 feet.

That's a hard one to choose, Aaron. Double showers or showers the size of previous bathtubs make an apt. look cheap. I guess I pick b) and buy some curtains if privacy needed.

300,
You don't have to go all the way to China for that, just down to Rivington Street.

Aaron,
DEFINITELY b. I saw a townhouse in Greenwich Village not that long ago where the master suite was the entire second floor. Half of the floor was the bathroom (and it was the half facing the street) which had you huge windows and one of those soaking tubs. Aside from when you are showing the townhouse to prospective buyers, when would you ever open the curtains in that bathroom?

So, after 3 long months, the price was finally reduced $200,000 today but hundreds of thousands in price reductions will still need to be made before this unimpressive apt is finally sold.
