(Thing is, I always write a comment before reading others, so this is eerie.) Here we go.<br /><br />Another staggering Rosario Candela. Only wish the dining room could’ve had a direct sightline from dining room to living room. That always makes such a big splash. As always, my big concern: I don’t see a guest sandbox, unless it’s in the library. What if cigars and side business is going on in there. Awkward. Run the faucet I suppose. Meow.<br /><br />Rabbi, I'll give you a hand with the half-bath reconfigure. You'll need a old-word cabinet maker to seamlessly revert the library's soon-to-be "un-ingressed" wall to contiguous, or you know who will throw a bloody fit. LGB, you'll need a wallpaper steamer. I'll bring the G&Ts.

The library, living, and dining rooms are relationally proportionate, bright, and breezy, due to three-way cross ventilation in the latter rooms. The terrace is heavenly, although direct East River views are eclipsed by 1 Sutton Place South across the street.<br /><br />The Rabbi is untroubled with the library-adjacent powder room, as her childhood hone contained an identical arrangement, ideal for snatching the latest Stephanie Plum novel on her way to the loo. For inclined Kinderlach, the powder room is easily reconfigured, sealing current library ingress, repositioning the sink to the former doorway, and creating egress to the gallery. Nevertheless, this proposal is Not Rabbinically Recommended (NRR), as a site-line from the elevator vestibule to the powder room would be created, and an alcove ideal for bureau or commode placement would be eliminated. Far more challenging is the conveyance of kosher victuals, as described by Anonymous 1:52 p.m., a conundrum for which the Rabbi lacks a Talmudic responsa. Far less problematic, the Rabbi charitably perceives the bedroom level to actually contain four full baths, as the hall facility appears to include a shower.<br /><br />Number 14 Sutton Place South contains multiple apartments modest in size and price, with listings frequently marketed at far under one million dollars. For the KInderlach who enjoy fabulous Candela details, a rich grandma vibe, a quiet and residential Manhattan neighborhood, and a tongue-lashing elevator encounter with JJ, "Stand up straight! And you're going out with your hair lookIng like that?", 14 Sutton Place South might just be your cup of Manischewitz.<br /><br />Rabbi Hedda LaCasa<br />Sent via her (Jewish American) Princess PhoneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179311615101890268.post-35485370357858653862013-09-21T12:39:15.311-07:002013-09-21T12:39:15.311-07:00or 1985or 1985Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179311615101890268.post-82637023450088553892013-09-20T18:22:02.182-07:002013-09-20T18:22:02.182-07:00Why do the interiors make me think of a 1995 Linco...Why do the interiors make me think of a 1995 Lincoln Town Car?

Your word "serviceable" hits the nail on the head -- but the proportions and manner in which the rooms relate to one another make the plan easy to do anything from "gussy up" to gut renovate.<br /><br />Sadly, I'd lean toward the latter (without touching the Candela features, of course). This little queen is not <i>quite</i> yet ready for old lady decor, no matter how well done.<br /><br />;-)lil' gay boyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10115496241247504856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179311615101890268.post-58215098793550088572013-09-20T15:26:25.546-07:002013-09-20T15:26:25.546-07:00What problems in this country are related to JJ...What problems in this country are related to JJ's income 12:42???

It's serviceable, at best. The only place to take a leak on the upper level, is hidden away in the library. The food from the kitchen, must travel through the public hallway to be served. Where invariably the servers will crash into guests, running to the library to take a pee. The 2 bed, 1.5 bath, master room is awkward at best and wasted space at it's worst. The wrap around terrace is wonderful. The peekaboo view is ok.<br /><br />I much prefer the décor to the floor plan. The interior is old lady done right. I can actually picture J.J. in there, even though those are most likely the previous owners things. <br />J.J. lives large, not sure why she chooses to lay her head in a place like this. Seems like for $8.5 million she could find a place of greater pedigree.
