For Sale! The House Next Door
New York is a funny place. How many other normal, god honest down-to-earth people can say that the house across the street from them just went on the market … for $25 million? Yes! You read that correctly!
I live in a large, “normal person’s” apartment building, and just across the street is a series of three townhomes, one of which was just put up for sale (that red one on the corner). I have a clear view of it from my apartment, and I often wonder about its history.

As long as I’ve lived across the street from this place (almost five years), I’ve never seen the lights on – it has obviously stood vacant for a long long time. It’s strange and creepy in a delicious sort of way.
Now, I know New York is a unique place, and I guess there is something special about living in your own house right on Central Park. But you tell me… is it worth it? Here are some internal pics of the place:
Can we please just take a moment to pause and observe that the kitchen opens right onto that glorious water and beyond? Makes my heart stop.
