bertrand Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 Where would I store my roughly 1,800 CDs? Seriously, if i had a bit more bread, I would have bought the place just to have somewhere to crash on my frequent trips up to NYC. $150,000 is pretty cheap. I wouldn't want to live there every day, though. Bertrand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidewinder Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 (edited) Where's the crapper? Surely not out of the window? They do have space for a wine rack though.

Gotta get the priorities right ! The NY Post (linked above) has a slide show of the apartment. The person who took the photo above was standing roughly where the door to the bathroom is. I lived in a cabin one summer when I was around 19 than wasn't much bigger. Edited December 9, 2009 by papsrus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardbopjazz Posted December 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 The one thing I just noticed, that just about all the knickknacks in the place are bottles containing alcohol. Just look at the shelving between the windows and all the bottles of wine. They can drown their sorrows when they say, "Oh, what did we get ourselves into?"

The Magnificent Goldberg Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 Pretty cheap, if you ask me. NYC $857 per sqft for 175 sqft Lon $4350 per sqft for 77 sqft And 3 years inflation since the London closet was on sale. MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sonnymax Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 If the couple gets tired of their tiny studio apt., they can move into this house in Boston. The so-called "Skinny House" in the North End of Boston is an extremely narrow four-story house that has the uncontested distinction of being the narrowest house in Boston. The house spans 10.4 feet at its widest point and tapers to 9.25 feet at the back, and its narrowest interior point is only 6.2 feet. It's current owners live what the Boston Globe called "a vertical life". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aggie87 Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 I don't see a stove, only a microwave- I guess they don't cook much. They eat EVERY meal out, according to the article. Also, they don't keep any of their work clothes at home, but leave them at various dry cleaners. They apparently put on jogging clothes and jog to work, while picking up the work clothes along the way, and then change when they arrive at the office. Odd peeps.
