8:14 here.

^True, 9:14. I hadn't really thought of this in terms of Tom and Katie's use, but then I don't really care about that.

2009-06-24T08:14:34.958-07:00

I'm not so sure about the layout.

That two story addition in the back obviously adds a lot of space, but at what cost? You lose almost the whole garden, although you get it back somewhat with the big terrace - but that's off the MBR. It also looks to me that you've sacrificed some light and what would be a pretty garden view in the LR, which really just looks onto the second floor of the addition (where the DR is). The DR probably has good light and views as it likely looks out onto neighboring gardens.

There should be a dumbwaiter between the kitchen and DR level, and a serving pantry would be nice near the DR, but there's really no space for it. And I think I'd prefer to have the kitchen swap spaces with the "informal living room", even though you'd have to walk throught the kitchen to get to it.

actually makes sense-- so lil' Tom will stay on E 13th with his minders and/or fluffers, Katie in the new house. Miss Mizrahi will probably try to horn in on the paps action

A fairly perfect layout, I think.

2009-06-24T07:15:01.498-07:00

Aw folks don't worry about nannies and cooks and room for the whole Cruise family. This brownstone is for the Mouse to live in alone with Suri when her five year contract as Tom's beard ends next spring. Her dad probably negotiated the sale now so it can be renovated and decorated and photographed for ElleDecor by the time the divorce is announced. Then the Mouse can start a new career by joining the cast of the Real Housewives of NYC.

MMMmmmmm there is nothin and I mean nothin better than a hot cup of coffee, Your Mama and a little real estate floor plan PORN in the morning. Always liked short men best and always thought la Cruise would from a little pants down discipline every morning but I guess his "church" takes care of that. 205 is correct, west 10th is the pretty street downtown but I gotta say this is one nice layout.

2009-06-24T05:52:48.564-07:00

205 is right-- as far as these streets between 5&^ go, W 11th is also nice. W 9th would be too but its way too busy, major crosstown traf, Path station, bus. Re the retinue-- maybe they will be living in the old Cruise apt over on E 13th, American Thread or Silk or Hemp Bldg, whatever its called.

W12th isn't really all that nice. W10th is where you want to be, it's one of the prettiest blocks in the city.

They wont be spending much time anywhere in the States for the next 3-4 months at least as they are about to land in Australia where "The Mouse" is filming her next movie. They will be staying in the Crown Casino penthouse owned by James Packer apparently!

2009-06-23T21:14:19.989-07:00

Minders, handlers, family members, body guards and ass kissers?

I only see enough bedrooms for Shorty, Mousy, the 3 kids and Nanny upstairs plus one staff room downstairs. In fact, if they have more than one Nanny - which seems possible with 3 kids, didn't Bruce & Demi have one for each of their 3 girls? - then the Nannies will have to share a room in this house.

Also, they are just going to go in and out that front door on the street? Won't they be attacked by the paps every time they do?

It sounds as tho your info's on the money but, if it really is the new Cruise home, I don't think it's the smartest move they could've made.

2009-06-23T18:28:19.729-07:00

I agree that the whole kitchen/family room combo is clearly most desirable in any home these days, and it seems this house has come close to that. The "informal living room" is connected to the kitchen on the garden level by what I'm sure is a bright open stair hall with doors opening to the garden. Close enough I think. Also, did anyone notice the miniscule closet kitchen in the staff room? Guess they wouldn't want the help eating out of their kitchen down the hall. Love the floorplan in general on this place - everything is where you would want it to be as far as public/private places and how they are accessed. There is a nice amount of outdoor space also... guess you should expect all this for $15m+.....

2009-06-23T17:44:54.799-07:00

Kitchen on garden floor is the way these houses were originally built-- it probably doesn't matter in the Cruise case, since the slaves will be down there, but most remodels of Village houses move the kitchen up to the parlor floor-- to get the family closer to mommy in the kitchen, as she heats up the Citarella premade, I guess (not that she won't have help, except they are mainly to take care of the in-vitro twins--the Village is CRAMMED with double strollers these days--but I digress). People want kitchen and teevee room --or great room or whatever the term is these days--together. In fact a house at 10W10 was gut renovated, with the kit left at basement level--didn't sell even before the crash--now it is practically being gutted again, I'm told to move the kitchen up.
