These purchases included the entire house, with access to the PH by private elevator. Imagine !

I hope their puppies have no further need for those cumbersome collars. <br /><br />I also wonder if the "site specific" art counts as intrinsic value to the sale price. The decor almost upstages the geometrically cool layout. It's hard to distinguish which of the two hold more power. Maybe a client will pick it up. <br /><br />Mama, you must be diggin' this one, especially with the uneventful pricey jazz you're so often stuck with narrating. I am. Good piece! <br /><br />P.S. As for this Sotheby's major stock holding Loeb character, I may need to let him treat himself to something in my pink pillbox. Unfortunately I have nothing to offer for high blood pressure -- as he sounds ready to self-implode.Sandpipernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179311615101890268.post-56904557005269158252014-03-06T09:40:58.063-08:002014-03-06T09:40:58.063-08:00The murals are art installations and will go with ...The murals are art installations and will go with the current owners.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179311615101890268.post-34094666952143857302014-03-05T18:27:28.421-08:002014-03-05T18:27:28.421-08:00No matter how visually stunning the place is, 66 s...No matter how visually stunning the place is, 66 stories is to high to have a secluded terrace where one could enjoy a late night doobie.

If you are not in <i>absolute love</i> with it, it can become a liability that makes marketing such a property a real challenge (particularly if it is considered "integral" to the design).<br /><br />Love the apartment but hate the art? Then you are faced with either painting over or otherwise removing it (which could not only affect the value, but subject the new owner to the eternal wrath of some aficionados). That or find yourself trying to devise a possibly expensive way to camouflage/conceal it. <br /><br />As for the floors, <i>no</i> Such a geometric pattern in a high rise with floor-to-ceiling windows is a grave error; whether it is rectilinear that leads the eye outward (like here) or some other wall-to-wall pattern, it's difficult to live with as it can create an unwelcome sense of vertigo for many people, the "drama" is unsustainable, if not downright unlivable.<br /><br />Much as I love the deep jewel-tones of the murals, I do not believe I could live with it full-time (notably the ceiling treatment; it would make me feel like being trapped in an outtake of <i>Game of Thrones</i>.)<br /><br />Personally, I'd keep the kitchen door & the books and take a paint sprayer to the rest.lil' gay boyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10115496241247504856noreply@blogger.com
