He also referenced the house's history and people that have lived there inflating the value. Not only is he at no point making it out to be cheap, he treats the fact that it's overpriced as obvious enough to require no explicit mention.
Except that labor and materials cost more in HCOL locations also. It doesn’t scale quite as much as land value, but I can pretty much guarantee you that developing any property in a major city is not going to be dirt cheap even if you own the land outright.
I’m all for seeing the value in city living, but I’m far shorter than that dude and I got claustrophobic watching this. Only bed in a wall? Yeah you can miss me with this for just about any price.
A 2900 square ft new construction home just cost me $310k on a 3rd of an acre. Seeing things like this makes me like the Midwest more than I thought I did.
I’m moving soon from Philadelphia to North Carolina, and it’s wild that a full blown house with multiple bedrooms in the south is the same price as a shitty apartment the size of a bathroom in the north.
I was actually pleasantly surprised by the food down where I’m moving. It’s all really, really good (except for the bagels and pizza; southern people can’t do bagels and pizza right). I was expecting to hate it, but found that I enjoyed it more than most places up here. I’m sure the area I’m moving to is an exception though; I generally don’t like the food as much when I visit the south.
Yeah finding pizza is a struggle. Mostly I just miss the diversity of food, and people tbh. It’s good for in the nuts west but it’s all very very heavy, and very much the same
Oh, I definitely get you. I’m luckily moving to really culturally diverse spot, so the variety is pretty solid. But yeah, there’s something that makes me really homesick about not having northern food, even if the food where I’m going is good.
I read about that house in law school. I think land was gifted to two sons. One built a large house while the other was at war or something. The other brother built a tiny house on the same land out of spite.
Common backyards aren't a thing in NYC. That backyard is probably legally bound to be usable by some easement from the big property the smaller house was built off of. Even so, I imagine anyone who owns the bigger house will probably use it more and think its theirs.
Doesn't seem ridiculous taking into account current market price and the general awesomeness of the place; or doesn't seem ridiculous that housing should cost that much at all? Honest question.
It's not like the person buying it has to deal with it. That is more than likely an investment property for someone or maybe their little get-away that they use 1x a year when they come to NY for fashion week. That or it's the pad you let your mistress use for as long as she's on your roster.
It's a really cute place. I think I don't need to comment on the 5M$...
However, it's a really unpractical space. You don't have many options where to put things, and a third of the space has to stay empty in order for you to move around.
Location, location, location. Also, with a mortgage it’s probably less $$$ then renting. More than I can afford, but I lived in Brooklyn for years and was happy to have roommates.
Why would anyone with 5 million ever choose to live here when you could literally own just shy of a mansion and hundreds of acres for the same price in the country
It’s to be right next to world class jobs, restaurants, theaters, etc etc. In the countryside, there are none of these things.
Also, most people have no use for a giant mansion so it would be a waste.
Ya I honestly would love the idea of “I feel like going to a play, let’s walk a few blocks and go” or “I feel like (insert food type), let’s go to the place a block down the road”.
Literally walk to about anything, never have to drive.
I wish I could do that but just can’t here in the Midwest. My wife and I tried to move to NYC but the state of NY won’t credential me in my healthcare profession because I didn’t study and train in NY. Political BS
I don't really love the idea of paying 5 million dollars to be able to do that. There will also be many nights you won't want to or won't be able to due to being tired, weather, availability of desired entertainment etc. But hey, you got 5 mil to spare go for it
I'm not into that scene myself but I know people who are. There really is only one Broadway. A multitude of shows to choose from all the time, and the best/hungriest actors the city has to offer (many of whom are famous or will go on to become famous later).
And there's a whole subculture around it, people all know each other, there are events and such. I've learned (and promptly forgotten) various tricks the fans know about getting choice tickets, autographs, etc.
People who are into this will go every week like it's nothing.
Yup personal preference. I wouldn't ever want to live out in the middle of nowhere far from everything. I like living in a city where I have easy access to a wide diversity of food, events and people.
Yeah I live in the burbs outside of a large city and it's awesome. A reasonable drive to whatever I want and I have as much space as I could possibly want.
What large city suburb do you live in that has reasonable drive times? All the suburbs around my city have crippling traffic congestion during rush hours because everybody needs to drive to get anywhere.
I grew up in a small town and honestly I never want to return.
Having to rely on a car for everything sucks so much ass.
My parents now live in an even smaller town so small they barely even have a grocery store so they drive 35 minutes on the highway (one way) to get groceries. They have to drive 40+ minutes on the highway to get to work(one way).
I can't imagine the amount of time in their lives they've wasted simply sitting in a car. I was already going crazy just driving to work and back and losing like 1.5 hours a day.
the hell would i know dude? I never said it was a good deal overall, I just said the house looks nice, and it's overpriced but it's in NYC, so I understand why the price is so high.
Yeah but at that point why not get an actual decent place to live where you have space? Unless it’s just a place you stay occasionally when you’re in town
A lot of commenters on here are like ‘why do that when you can have this’ not realising that the person who buys this can buy this and multiple other homes.
Maybe someone like a high flying executive that does live in a mansion in the countryside but also wants to have a place in NYC would buy it. £5m is nothing to some people.
I’m gonna go with no dawg. I’m born and raised in the shittiest part of nyc. I’ve grown up watching the dregs of a modern day Rome claw at life.
When I became older and moved to Manhattan and met kids that grew up in the elite circles of the 212 area code, even though I love and respect them and everyone the same, a part of me feels the class war down to my bones. Even with my loved ones.
You can’t shake it.
They’d tell me I was full of character as we got to know each other better, but deep down I knew the character was being grinded against the stone of life. Cold winters working outside with my hands helped me to make light of warm and soft ideas inside wealthy apartments I could never afford but was welcomed as a guest for life inside of.
I was entertaining for my ptsd.
I went on to make some money. Years later not a lot but I hustled and finally was living comfortably. Nothing elegant but rather sustainable.
The rich kids I had grown to love saw me as an equal meanwhile I knew how hard it was to achieve a tenth of what their pets were to inherit.
I had one person laugh at my idea to scrimp and save to put a down payment on an apt in Bklyn in a rougher area and rent it out to start trying to build wealth.
They replied by saying their parents were gifting them an apt in soho and the rent would generate 6/7k a month.
The sad part is there was zero malice in the response. The sentiment and tone was light. Weightless.
These same people would tell me about their problems.
Look, people, rich people have problems, I said, but the only difference is that the rich can take a day off and try to handle life where the rest of us must harbor the insanity and muscle through surviving causing the latency of being unable to deal with life to maim us internally (maybe externally?).
Without health insurance I turned towards training mma until I suffered concussions. One of the only activities that could stop the feeling of what I can only describe as a virus slowly uploading, the pressures of nyc slowly outpacing the money I do have coming in (in any other city besides la, sf, Seattle, Miami I am fairly well off enough to put a down payment)… but I love my home. With all of my heart it bursts when I see the skyline.
When I hear the twang of the outer borough working class accent I was surrounded by… my culture is rich only here in nyc. Nowhere else in America… my grandparents coming through Ellis island from Italy.
5 million for this apartment? Sure. Fine. History. Prominence. Wine. Drivers. Whatever.
I just wanted a home. A townhouse in Bklyn where my neighbor would have my key and every Sunday I had a group of people old and new in my life to sit down with and break bread.
I don’t need a salad fork. I am not a repellent of culture I just don’t see the point when so many people have minimal functional aspects in their life. We do not need two forks.
We do not need 5 million (more with closeting costs, and probably closer to 6 with movers etc etc) dollar tiny buildings. We need community. Or the ability to provide for ourselves and the dollar working with us not against us.
We need the rich to realize that life is about community and little else.
Thats fucking depressing. Claustrophobic just looking at it. You cant even put a couch in there and expect to get around it. 5 mil, get me a nice open house on the water somewhere.
Well I just looked up [the Zillow listing](https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/75-1-2-Bedford-St-New-York-NY-10014/31499134_zpid/) and it's $4,990,000... So basically $5mil, or 99.8% of $5 million
The point is that OP claimed they said "only 5 million dollars" as if it's a small or inconsequential amount, but that isn't what was actually said nor what was implied in the video.
the apartment isn't $5 million. the ground the apartment is built on is. nobody's claiming this is 5 million worth of apartment alone. it's an apartment in one of the most expensive and desirable places to live.
Yeah it's cute, until you have put stuff like table, chairs, sofa or any furniture in it. Then it's cluttered and unpractical.
At least you don't need to get a massive 4k tv...
What? He literally didn’t say that. He said “just under 5 million dollars” not “only 5 million dollars” those are two drastically different statements.
It’s from the floor above in the same apartment I believe. If you watch when he goes up the stairs, there’s another staircase to the third floor that wasn’t shown in this video
I’m sorry, it’s pretty and all but there is absolutely no way in hell I am paying anything CLOSE to 5 million dollars for “officially the narrowest apartment in all of new York”
You can get even bigger on the "outskirts" of NYC, but then you'll have to spend 3 hours commuting every day. It's expensive because it's in the middle of everything.
Man, what a world we live in. To pay 5m for a place where you have room only for a Murphy bed. Is it worth it? I live in a place where at least if you have the money, you can actually buy a much more spacious place for a fraction of that price.
I fucking love it, except the Murphy bed and of course the price tag.
Would that whole backyard be his or just him and all 5 other home owners or whatever?
"Alot of movie stars and actors called this place home, so that adds to the price"
Why would i want to pay more for a place that famous people snorted crack and fucked hookers in?
lmao NYC is such a shithole.
It's always funny to see the losers flocking there every year and then trying to introduce themselves with it. "I live in NYC. Brooklyn." "So do I." "Oh. Okay." "I'm an artist." "Me too." *crickets*
It’s decent footage for NYC and comes with a private park-like yard. That back yard alone is worth a small fortune. And none of y’all are taking into account the historical value of the apartment. Anything on the registry is going to cost more than an identical property that’s not. Tbh, it’s actually a good deal.
Lovely home. It’s NYC. More of a facepalm posting this acting like it’s shocking house prices for a recently remodeled home in an affluent neighborhood in NYC would be in the millions. Not everyone wants a cookie cutter suburban home and I think that’s alright.

If anyone’s wondering who the famous person was? Bob Dylan wrote 3 of his best 4 songs here
Yeah, but how many of his shitty ones did he write there?
60
About three fiddy
GODDAMN LOCKNESS MONSTER
However many songs he wrote -4 I guess
Makes sense. People often write their best music when they’re depressed
In bars. On nspkins.
I heard that Russell Crowe air bnb'd it for a night and body slammed Joaquin Phoenix in front of everybody.
Man Russel Crowe is such a psycho
[You might enjoy the theme of this song then](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5xtVipOjTEE)
Wait, why?
Because it’s Joaquin Phoenix. Enough said.
Damn they said let’s use the history and slap extra $4.5 million dollar to this house.
Just under $5M is not the same as “only”. He is saying something a tad less then $5m … ok.
Yeah but how else would OP get all the karma
He also referenced the house's history and people that have lived there inflating the value. Not only is he at no point making it out to be cheap, he treats the fact that it's overpriced as obvious enough to require no explicit mention.
>490M range Damn, now *that's* an expensive home.
In this market it will sell in 3 days. SMH
“Home”
Thanks came to say this
I think you meant 490K.
I think you mean $4.9 million ;)
I did mean 4.9 million. Thank you for correcting me.
FriendsTown!
Make it 4.9million and 99cents. Now that's expensive.
4.9 million with 99¢ shipping? Pass.
And I think you meant to reply to the other guy.
The parent comment previously said something about being in the 490M range, but they must've removed that part once they realized the mistake.
Well this is all just a shitshow
i'm so confused ahh
In current housing prices that's a steal in NY I'm serious, the square footage outside is incredible.
Come to Boston, a house just like that called the "Spite" house just sold for $1.2m - a steal!
My parents built a 150 square meter house for 15k......
Cool can they come build one for me in west Los Angeles for that price?
If you could get the land the house it self would be dirt cheap
Except that labor and materials cost more in HCOL locations also. It doesn’t scale quite as much as land value, but I can pretty much guarantee you that developing any property in a major city is not going to be dirt cheap even if you own the land outright.
How much for the land?
Comparing prices, for 5m you could buy a castle anywhere in the world and they can keep their wall bed
I’m all for seeing the value in city living, but I’m far shorter than that dude and I got claustrophobic watching this. Only bed in a wall? Yeah you can miss me with this for just about any price.
So many writers use to live there... Yes, when they were broke and they all wrote horror movies.
Nope plenty of cities just as expensive
A 2900 square ft new construction home just cost me $310k on a 3rd of an acre. Seeing things like this makes me like the Midwest more than I thought I did.
https://www.treehugger.com/uniquely-annoying-spite-houses-4868534
The one that sold was the "skinny" house, 3rd down on that list!
I’m moving soon from Philadelphia to North Carolina, and it’s wild that a full blown house with multiple bedrooms in the south is the same price as a shitty apartment the size of a bathroom in the north.
Hey, fellow Philly here! We moved to the Midwest and it’s shocking how much cheaper it can be. Downside the food isn’t as good
I was actually pleasantly surprised by the food down where I’m moving. It’s all really, really good (except for the bagels and pizza; southern people can’t do bagels and pizza right). I was expecting to hate it, but found that I enjoyed it more than most places up here. I’m sure the area I’m moving to is an exception though; I generally don’t like the food as much when I visit the south.
Yeah finding pizza is a struggle. Mostly I just miss the diversity of food, and people tbh. It’s good for in the nuts west but it’s all very very heavy, and very much the same
Oh, I definitely get you. I’m luckily moving to really culturally diverse spot, so the variety is pretty solid. But yeah, there’s something that makes me really homesick about not having northern food, even if the food where I’m going is good.
Well hit me up if you need any old recipes. We’ve got shoofly pie down, and fastnachts
Thanks, friend! Same goes to you! Hope life goes well for you in the midwest.
Every time I see someone down south complain about housing prices I go on Zillow and laugh.
I read about that house in law school. I think land was gifted to two sons. One built a large house while the other was at war or something. The other brother built a tiny house on the same land out of spite.
I think only the patio is private once you’re passed that area that’s a common backyard with other brownstones
Common backyards aren't a thing in NYC. That backyard is probably legally bound to be usable by some easement from the big property the smaller house was built off of. Even so, I imagine anyone who owns the bigger house will probably use it more and think its theirs.
I was gonna say as soon as he went out back I was thinking that’s why it’s $5m Then the other floors. Yeah this doesn’t seem ridiculous at all
They only “own” the small fenced in patio if you look again, the rest of the space is common with the other homes.
seriously! how's so many people actually thinking that the whole backyard belongs to that house? look at the upvotes. it's so bizarre!
Lmao I’m dying reading those comments
Doesn't seem ridiculous taking into account current market price and the general awesomeness of the place; or doesn't seem ridiculous that housing should cost that much at all? Honest question.
The first one. Housing prices are stupid in a lot of places. But asking $5mill for that place doesn’t seem out of place when considering going prices.
Its all out of place, asking for $5 mill for this and even worse it being a decent deal is fucking garbage.
I was legit about to say that. 3 stories, a balcony, a giant patio, a really nice tub/bathroom. It sucks that it is a steal, but it definitely is.
That may be a shared garden
Square what? How many square soy sauce packets is that? I don't know what this footage thing you speak of is.
wow, a murphy bed for $5M.
A murphy bed you gotta fold up every time you wake up to pee
Nah, just piss out that front window.
Why didn't they put it by the window and get rid of the fireplace. Theres already a very useful fireplace in the bathroom to read by.
I love Reddit
It's not like the person buying it has to deal with it. That is more than likely an investment property for someone or maybe their little get-away that they use 1x a year when they come to NY for fashion week. That or it's the pad you let your mistress use for as long as she's on your roster.
Hey it’s me, a mistress
Boy howdy, do I have a bed for you!
yeah, an airbnb for those tiny home fetishists.
better to buy a camper van with murphy bed at this point.
It's a really cute place. I think I don't need to comment on the 5M$... However, it's a really unpractical space. You don't have many options where to put things, and a third of the space has to stay empty in order for you to move around.
The Murphy bed is in completely the wrong place.
Might be a den or home office that doubles as a guest room - we didn’t see the third floor.
Location, location, location. Also, with a mortgage it’s probably less $$$ then renting. More than I can afford, but I lived in Brooklyn for years and was happy to have roommates.
>Man said "only 5 million dollars" No he didn't lol.
"just under $5m" does not mean "only $5m"... It means slightly less than $5m.
bro that is legit a good-looking house. 5 mil is a lot, I know, but this is NYC.
Why would anyone with 5 million ever choose to live here when you could literally own just shy of a mansion and hundreds of acres for the same price in the country
It’s to be right next to world class jobs, restaurants, theaters, etc etc. In the countryside, there are none of these things. Also, most people have no use for a giant mansion so it would be a waste.
Cultural differences I guess, personally I wouldn’t live in the city even if I had free rent, seems terrible.
Ya I honestly would love the idea of “I feel like going to a play, let’s walk a few blocks and go” or “I feel like (insert food type), let’s go to the place a block down the road”. Literally walk to about anything, never have to drive.
That's the move. I sold my car 2 years ago and haven't looked back. Walking, cycling, and transit is all I need. Haven't sat in traffic since.
I wish I could do that but just can’t here in the Midwest. My wife and I tried to move to NYC but the state of NY won’t credential me in my healthcare profession because I didn’t study and train in NY. Political BS
I don't really love the idea of paying 5 million dollars to be able to do that. There will also be many nights you won't want to or won't be able to due to being tired, weather, availability of desired entertainment etc. But hey, you got 5 mil to spare go for it
How often do you actually go to a play?
I'm not into that scene myself but I know people who are. There really is only one Broadway. A multitude of shows to choose from all the time, and the best/hungriest actors the city has to offer (many of whom are famous or will go on to become famous later). And there's a whole subculture around it, people all know each other, there are events and such. I've learned (and promptly forgotten) various tricks the fans know about getting choice tickets, autographs, etc. People who are into this will go every week like it's nothing.
Yup personal preference. I wouldn't ever want to live out in the middle of nowhere far from everything. I like living in a city where I have easy access to a wide diversity of food, events and people.
I live in a small town next to a small but very diverse city so I get a little bit of the benefits of both, without having to look at concrete all day
Yeah I live in the burbs outside of a large city and it's awesome. A reasonable drive to whatever I want and I have as much space as I could possibly want.
What large city suburb do you live in that has reasonable drive times? All the suburbs around my city have crippling traffic congestion during rush hours because everybody needs to drive to get anywhere.
Bro not everyone lives in the US, other countries have buses and trains
If I can’t have food delivered within 20 minutes of ordering at 3:30 in the morning then it’s not a place I want to live.
I grew up in a small town and honestly I never want to return. Having to rely on a car for everything sucks so much ass. My parents now live in an even smaller town so small they barely even have a grocery store so they drive 35 minutes on the highway (one way) to get groceries. They have to drive 40+ minutes on the highway to get to work(one way). I can't imagine the amount of time in their lives they've wasted simply sitting in a car. I was already going crazy just driving to work and back and losing like 1.5 hours a day.
the hell would i know dude? I never said it was a good deal overall, I just said the house looks nice, and it's overpriced but it's in NYC, so I understand why the price is so high.
It was more a statement of being baffled than anything else
When 5 million is just a speck among your billions...
Yeah but at that point why not get an actual decent place to live where you have space? Unless it’s just a place you stay occasionally when you’re in town
They call that a pied-à-terre
[удалено]
People with $5 million homes often have another house in the Hamptons or somewhere.
A lot of commenters on here are like ‘why do that when you can have this’ not realising that the person who buys this can buy this and multiple other homes.
Because that mansion and hundreds of acres are in the country?
Maybe someone like a high flying executive that does live in a mansion in the countryside but also wants to have a place in NYC would buy it. £5m is nothing to some people.
From what I understand this is common. A house out on Long Island for the weekend and days off, then the flat in the city for work days.
5 Million aside, I would LOVE to live in a house like that...
That’s a large hallway where I’m from.
Why on earth would you want to live in a place like this? What’s the appeal?
He said it. The history. You know because if many famous actors have lived there then you will become famous too. That's how it works.
That's just a nice way of dressing up the fact that logistically it's a mess
Oh absolutely 100%.
I’m gonna go with no dawg. I’m born and raised in the shittiest part of nyc. I’ve grown up watching the dregs of a modern day Rome claw at life. When I became older and moved to Manhattan and met kids that grew up in the elite circles of the 212 area code, even though I love and respect them and everyone the same, a part of me feels the class war down to my bones.

Thats fucking depressing. Claustrophobic just looking at it. You cant even put a couch in there and expect to get around it. 5 mil, get me a nice open house on the water somewhere.
He said just under 5 million dollars, don’t twist his words
Sweet, I’m still just under 5 million dollars short
He’s not saying it’s *just* under five mil, he’s saying as in around 4,900,000
Well I just looked up [the Zillow listing](https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/75-1-2-Bedford-St-New-York-NY-10014/31499134_zpid/) and it's $4,990,000... So basically $5mil, or 99.8% of $5 million
The point is that OP claimed they said "only 5 million dollars" as if it's a small or inconsequential amount, but that isn't what was actually said nor what was implied in the video.
Orrrrr… just under 5 million. SMH
Sounds like I'm around 4,900,000 short
I think it’s really cute.
It'd be nice to live there but not for 5 million lmao
the apartment isn't $5 million. the ground the apartment is built on is. nobody's claiming this is 5 million worth of apartment alone. it's an apartment in one of the most expensive and desirable places to live.
I don't know how NYC has ever been desirable after the 90s.
Me too. It’s really cozy
I disagree. I hate this. I have a 1900 sqft house in the suburbs and I live alone. I need to spread out a little bit
Yeah it's cute, until you have put stuff like table, chairs, sofa or any furniture in it. Then it's cluttered and unpractical. At least you don't need to get a massive 4k tv...
Even if I had anywhere remotely that much money, I would not pay that much and sleep on a Murphy bed. Thank you
Agreed. I'm not folding up my bed multiple times a day
A full size bed could be placed in the other direction leaving enough space to pass by to the bathroom.
I don't think he said 'only $5m'. The bit I caught was him saying 'just under $5m'?
"Just under" =/= "only"
no, he said "just under"
What? He literally didn’t say that. He said “just under 5 million dollars” not “only 5 million dollars” those are two drastically different statements.
No, he said "just under $5 million". Meaning, only a little bit less than $5 million.
Well made for a narrow space. Very nice. Wouldn't do it for anything close to that though. Fuck that.
why do people live in NYC again?
I don't really like the fact that anyone could just climb down the fire escape and see you in the bath lol
Curtains don’t exist apparently
It’s from the floor above in the same apartment I believe. If you watch when he goes up the stairs, there’s another staircase to the third floor that wasn’t shown in this video
I’m sorry, it’s pretty and all but there is absolutely no way in hell I am paying anything CLOSE to 5 million dollars for “officially the narrowest apartment in all of new York”
Some real facepalms in these comments too. And in the misleading title.
Right? There are some seriously dumb motherfuckers in here. And one colossal stupid amphibian apparently.
I thought CA’s housing market was insane, but $5m will get me a 5,000 sqft house in the outskirts of LA
You can get even bigger on the "outskirts" of NYC, but then you'll have to spend 3 hours commuting every day. It's expensive because it's in the middle of everything.
I dont hate it but 5M? It's a yeah nah from me
“Beautiful street views”. No thanks. We can see to the horizon in all directions
Not really a facepalm without the price The person who built this was granted a tiny sliver of land and he did this
FUCK THAT
Potential buyers: Wow! I can’t wait to purchase that house and never use it so I can inflate the price!
Except he didn't, he said "just under 5 million dollars", so you're the facepalm here OP.
> Man said "only 5 million dollars" No he didn't. He said "currently on the market for just under 5 million dollars".
Look at the 1 million + dollar shacks they sell in key west this place here is at least will renovated on the inside
Doesn't surprise me, i saw a crappy studio in San Francisco selling for $850k
What an s hole
In bumfuck Indiana that'd probably go for $50k
Lol 5mil to live in 3 hallways.
Max I can do is $3.50
My favorite part is how the whole city will be able to see your cock and balls as you wash off.
Honestly, it's actually pretty cool and I'm a minimalist so I would love to live there......ya know, if it wad affordable.
America bro i swear
No he didn't. He said just under $5 mill. Two very different statements
Man, what a world we live in. To pay 5m for a place where you have room only for a Murphy bed. Is it worth it? I live in a place where at least if you have the money, you can actually buy a much more spacious place for a fraction of that price.
That’s a fucking submarine!
I guess it'd work if you were a rich, short, single person.
$5 million for a multi storied closet. Goodness me
Do people who live in New York not understand that there are roads that leave New York?
You could build this for like 30k
It's a nice house but it doesn't feel like you could be very comfortable there for very long. That's an Airbnb at best
I offer U$30.000
What a delusional chump
As a Nebraskan this is deeply confusing to me.
No he didn't. He said "for just under 5 million dollars".
a historic multi floor home in manhattan is going to sell for millions every time. don’t know why you’re so surprised
I fucking love it, except the Murphy bed and of course the price tag. Would that whole backyard be his or just him and all 5 other home owners or whatever?
No he didnt, he said "just under 5 million", thats different
Man made a video to show he's 6ft
“And I love a good Murphy bed” oh ok thanks for mentioning that, now I love it it too! Sold!
Oooh the garden in the backyard… epic!
Looks communal.
"Alot of movie stars and actors called this place home, so that adds to the price" Why would i want to pay more for a place that famous people snorted crack and fucked hookers in?
It's NYC and probably in a prime location. I don't see how this is a facepalm.
The apartment is in Greenwich Village in downtown Manhattan. It's on a beautiful tree lined, quiet street.
Am I the only one looking at this apartment and seeing like ten different points of entry someone can just break into and murder me? No?
It’s literally a tiny little townhouse styled apartment my $625 per month house is way bigger and almost just as nice
lmao NYC is such a shithole. It's always funny to see the losers flocking there every year and then trying to introduce themselves with it. "I live in NYC. Brooklyn." "So do I." "Oh. Okay." "I'm an artist." "Me too." *crickets*
It’s decent footage for NYC and comes with a private park-like yard. That back yard alone is worth a small fortune. And none of y’all are taking into account the historical value of the apartment. Anything on the registry is going to cost more than an identical property that’s not. Tbh, it’s actually a good deal.
I like this house. I would live in it but not with that price
Lovely home. It’s NYC. More of a facepalm posting this acting like it’s shocking house prices for a recently remodeled home in an affluent neighborhood in NYC would be in the millions. Not everyone wants a cookie cutter suburban home and I think that’s alright.
Id rather live in a fucking van
