I like that... except for that step up in the blue bathroom. That might be a real fall downer.
ReplyDeleteMy thought exactly. Ceilings are interesting though.
DeleteI agree too. While a beautiful bath, that steep step, on wet tile is a disaster waiting to happen. Don't let Mitchell anywhere near this bathroom. And just how does one stand at the sink? It looks like a sliver of teetering on the edge if you stand on the ledge platform....... and if you stand on the floor in front of it, how do you see in the mirror, unless you're a jolly green giant. That the only thing in this home that gets a ding.
DeleteI think that even though the sink is on a step, the legs are shorter making it the proper height; but that small step in front to the tub makes it hard to stand in front of the sink. That's my lone quibble.
DeleteNow you know I love this!!!! I love a good mix of texture and this with its white walls, wood floor and accents and exposed brick is lovely!!!! And a gay man, in the West Village with a king-sized bed would be VERY popular!!!! Just imagine people watching from the windows come gay Pride time!
ReplyDeleteI, too love it; not so big, not too small and lots of character and fine finishes.
DeleteOk, 3M? Buy yeah. It’s the West Village!
ReplyDeleteI like it. It’s been redone well and I understand the choices. The bathroom , though… I’d love to know the why.
XOXO
I think the floor is raised because of plumbing issues in those older buildings. But it makes a hazard for getting out of the tub!!
Deletexoxo
Oh, yes, I could live there, apart from the dangerous step up in the blue bathroom - accident waiting to happen. The ceilings are fascinating.
ReplyDeleteI might need an elevator to get down from the tub because I do take a tumble every so often!
DeleteOutside of the step in the bathroom already mentioned, that dark wall tile (or paper) could go. The rest? Oh, yeah!
ReplyDeleteI like the dark wall, but that sink and step up to the tub are awkward.

ReplyDeletexoxo :-)
It's a lovely property, but I wouldn't be able to live there. I'm a small town girl. :p
ReplyDeleteBut NYC is made up of small neighborhoods that might make it seem less daunting.
DeleteGreat choice. I love it. That celling is divine. Love the light. I like the idea of things being inside being so different from the plain outside. If I am reading correctly, the marble in the kitchen is a less ideal stone choice. What is up with the sink installation in the blue bathroom? It looks like one is not dead center in front of the raise sink. And how much is it raised. I am 6/1 so that might not be a problem. The second bathroom-the beige one-is ok but for me it's a waste of space. I never cared for stand alone tubs. Let's put them together. Depending on where the washer and dryer is maybe we can put one in here instead or as an addition. Oh yes, I would like a little balcony outdoor space to sit, have coffee, get some sun, and whistle at the boys as they go by. Let me call my financial advisor to put together an offer.
ReplyDeleteI believe the sink is at "normal" height, but the floor has been raised, usually for plumbing installations or perhaps there's a stair on the floor below.
DeleteEither way it makes for an odd place to stand at the sink!
I love the ceilings, though it might feel a little like living in a wine cellar. WTF is a "Belgian block street"? I lived in NYC ten years and I never heard that term. Sounds like something a Realtor came up with to make "cobblestone" sound more rarified. :)
ReplyDeleteA Belgian block street features quarried, hand-dressed paving stones that create a more uniform, flat surface than traditional, rounded cobblestones.
DeleteAccording to Google ...
This will do. I’m not sure about the brick ceiling although I love the coving. Also, that bathroom would have to be redone. That shallow step around the tub and the sink is an accident waiting to happen! I’d knock a couple hundred off the price.
ReplyDeleteIt needs Danger Mitch signs all around!!!
DeleteI could live there but while I understand the principles of how an arch stays up, these ceiling arches seem so flat and risky.
ReplyDeleteThose ceilings have been built like that for hundreds of years and so I think they're pretty safe.
DeleteTriple exposures in NYC? I'd say yes, please for all of that light.And those ceilings? Even that vr=ery strange bathroom setup is OK with me! Where do I sign , sweetpea? xoxo
ReplyDeleteI think you might face a lot of other offers!! But it is gorgeous.
Deletexoxo
If you want to live in a city (I don't) I don't think you could do much better. It's beautifully done isn't it!
ReplyDeleteExcept for that odd bathroom, yes!
DeleteThe blue is a strange bathroom, gut and redo. Eliminate the tub. Add some color and I could live there. I have some art that would look great.
ReplyDeleteThat is an odd bathroom, though I think it was set up that way because of the plumbing.
