We saw three apartments today, incredible prices for incredibly small spaces - only one may meet our needs and I'd be embarrassed to tell you what it costs. The worst was a chopped up brownstone. Beautiful facade and front door and then a terrifying roach pit. See the pics.The apartment(s) at 30 Park Avenue has/have a great address but were pretty ordinary spaces in need of renovation, some of which would be done and some which would not and in the end were not suitable to see clients. However, the gentleman who showed them to us, Cesar, was a prince and Mark and I both fell for his Brazilian charm at once. We are supposed to sup with the fellows who made the calls for us to see the building Saturday evening. That should be great fun.
The place which made top of the list is new, modern and sleek. Not what Mark and I usually would choose - but it's layout will provide private space to see clients and private space for us to live. Lots of shiny surfaces, mahogany, granite, marble, parquet. Amenities include a gym and doorman and parking air and heat and wrap around viws of the Midtown Bridge and the East River. Just off Sutton Place, how much better can an address be?
