I live in a pretty incredible area - It's an historical neighbourhood loaded with tons and tons and tons of charm - and 20th century architecture, just steps away from the city center, it's also a pretty expensive neighbourhood ( in which I live in servants quarters basically compared to what I'm surrounded by ) Because there are days I don't have furniture makeovers to show you - I've chosen Wednesdays to showcase and feature one home that's for sale around here.................( or apartment - or duplex - or teepee ) Keep in mind this is in the heart of the city - so the prices reflect that - think Manhattan - where these places would cost 3 or 4 times what they're listed for here! ________________________________________________________________________ Good morning everyone - 2 weeks ago we were in London - Last week was Grey Gardens - And this week? Well, I'm in a New York state of mind.................... All listings were found at Sotheyby's New York City Some folks like to get away Take a holiday from the neighbourhood Hop a flight to Miami Beach Or to Hollywood But I'm taking a Greyhound On the Hudson River Line I'm in a New York state of mind First one up is a Prewar 4 bedroom in the Apthorp ( Nora Ephron, Rosie O'Donnell both lived there in the past ) If you want to dance among the stars this apartment building is where you'd find some of them - not sure if they dance or not - but they should be - they most definitely should be dancing around and thanking their lucky stars that they have careers that can get them this. 9,950,000.00 The Apthorp is a historic condominium apartment building in New York City, New York. The Renaissance Revival building designed by architects Clinton & Russell for absentee landowner William Waldorf Astor was built between 1906 and 1908; it occupies the full block between Broadway and West End Avenue and between 78th and 79th Streets. The building is built around a large interior courtyard. It is on the National Register of Historic Places and a city landmark.
