Kitchen

Nah, mate. It's plenty of space for your nightly Uber Eats delivery.

The current owners have their own eclectic preferences. Most people would put an (floating?) island in the kitchen and other half of the space for the dining table, I would guess.

Maybe that’s why people seem to sell pretty quickly after they buy.

Non lasciarvi lusingar......................... People can work wonders in tiny kitchens. We New Yorkers (some of us, at least) have mastered that art.

Practical or not, I think it's gorgeous. I am so down with whatever you call that aesthetic, kind of movie-set-like but with just enough quality art and furnishings and detailing to keep it from looking too much like a Restoration Hardware catalog. That stove!

And they also went with the retro refrigerator, with quite a bit of built-in storage surrounding it including a large wine refrigerator.

Isn’t the real crime here taking a reasonably spacious 2BR and converting it to a cramped 3BR?

I agree with Nada. If you want an island, you can put one including easily available freestanding one. A larger kitchen table is not a bad idea either.

I'd replace the dinky dining table with a large floating island and put a proper dining table where the red couch is. Then it would be a grand open kitchen/dining room. And agree with Ali--great aesthetic (though not crazy about the leaning artwork--that tired trend has never made sense to me. But thumbs up to the design in general!

I agree the kitchen/dining area is an easy fix with floating island and a real dining table. The space is certainly large enough to accommodate, and they already have a decent sized living room. The office/third BR and piano do take up what could be space for more seating, but I give them thumbs up for their choice of what appears to be the same East Indian rosewood case on their Steinway S that I have.

Too bad they had to place the piano next to the window and AC/heating unit.

My, so many armchair decorators here. Boggles the mind!!!

Ali,
For what it would cost to park for a year you could have one for yourself, but I've heard they're all about the look and performance is just average.

This might be dated info, but that Board used to be tougher than you would think from looking at the building.

30, I think that's the case with most high-end ranges, no? I don't think I've ever met anyone who loved their fancy-pants one more than I love my used-when-I-got-it Bosch, with the possible exception of one client who dragged her vintage O'Keefe and Merritt three thousand miles because she wasn't going to use anything else.

This place looks like it was staged by a friend or relative.

...or a relative... who needed a place to store some big art.

I have no problems with the staging -- they cleaned things up, put away most all the geegaws, kitchen toys, and dust collectors, and cleaned the windows. (that downtown lofty thing didn't even do the latter). And there's no game playing with furniture sizes as can be done with virtual staging. So good for them. Some of the decorating choices aren't ones I'd make, but the place looks quite presentable and an honest reflection of what you're getting.
