There'd be no need to edit your holiday guest list this year if you bought this condo at 155 West 68th Street.
This expansive prewar $3.3m loft in Chelsea offers the spaciousness of a loft on one end and the coziness of a traditional NYC apartment on the other end.
Buyers get an entire floor in this building situated on West 29th between Sixth and Seventh Avenues, with seven rooms in total. Only a few structural columns are required to stay in place, so buyers have the freedom to customize the space.
If you are a serious home entertainer, cringe at the sight of unused space, or just love to sit, the totally over-the-top built-in seating at this $5.8 million Flatiron condo could hit the spot.
Just look at the picture above -- a nearly 40 foot wall spans the length of the space, with dimpled leather window seating running all alongside (click on the other pictures within the StreetEasy link to see just how much seating there is!).
NYC is not exactly rife with opportunities to exercise your green thumb.
But if you're dying for some outdoor garden space (and have plenty of green in the bank), this $4.5m duplex penthouse loft at 248 West 23rd Street in Chelsea could be for you.
Two terraces equaling over 1,600-square-feet overflow with lush greenery, providing a harmonious escape from the steel and concrete of the city downstairs.
Q. I’m renovating my bathroom on a budget. As far as aesthetics, where should I splurge, and where can I get away with saving?
A. There are lots of different ways to dress up or dress down a bathroom, whether you're planning a full renovation for yourself or just planning to stage it for resale.
Either way, you’ll want to spend most of your time and money on the shower, say the urban renovation experts we spoke to.
