West 19 St open house review : Manhattan Loft Guy

Manhattan Loft Guy

Sep. 27, 2007 - West 19 St open house review

(remember to check the agent websites Sunday morning to see if open house is still on)

$1.525mm and $820/mo (condo) for -- as I said in a September 14 open house review -- "1,085 sq ft" with balcony (though what they are really selling here is serenity: "you are immediately taken by the beautiful courtyard visible from any of your oversized windows or private terrace"); on the market 3 weeks

Open House Sunday Sept 30 1 PM -2:30

251 West 19 Street #1C

$1.575mm and $1,422/mo (condo) for 1,342 sq ft of duplexed space with a fascinating price and listing history (it dropped $320-k last week); here's what I said about it on Sept 2 (price drop at 251 W 19 (not #3C)) in a post focused on another listing in the building:

[it had been] an "ours alone" listing from DG Neary for $2.295mm and now an exclusive listing with Corcoran at $1.895mm [price has dropped again] …. (It traded at $1.875mm only 14 months ago; wonder what the story is there....)

[#1C] is said to be "1,342 sq ft" (duplexed) in "impeccable condition". (There is actually a fairly small area where those "17 foot" ceilings are not halved by the mezzanine.) (This is the first Corcoran listing I remember in which there is no prose description of the apartment; I hope they did that on purpose.) Even at the new price of $1.895mm, that is a pretty premium for "1,342 sq ft" of mostly-mezzanined (8 foot ceilings) "loft" space, no matter how impeccable. But The Market (in the person of the current sellers) thought it was worth $1.875mm in June 2006. It will be very interesting to see when these folks find other buyers who agree with them about the value.

I am truly astounded that this web listing still has no prose description.

Open House Sunday Sept 30 2 -- 4 PM

139 West 19 Street #8E

$4mm and $1,776/mo for (2,800 sq ft??) plus "spectacular terrace"; check the pictures of this "super sexy PH loft" - I am not getting a vibe of "recently renovated by an influential, well-known designer. An exceptional blend of pre-war industrial loft spirit with today's luxuries, this one-of-a-kind designer loft is exquisitely and tastefully done" but maybe it shows better in person (or maybe it is just me)

new to market 3 weeks ago

Open House Sunday Sept 30 1:30 PM -3

Nice post, thanks you. I'm a diabetic with poor circulation and so my toes almost never warm up.. I ordered these <a href="http://www.buddyugg.com/">cheap ugg boots</a> hoping they would help and they did the job pretty well. The inside is very plush, my feet even feel close to sweating when the air con is up and the house is warm. The upper is a little tight, I wouldn't recommend these <a href="http://www.buddyugg.com/">cheap ugg boots</a> for larger people.<a href="http://www.buddyugg.com/">ugg boots on sale</a>, free shipping, LOL!
