Remember that bathtub in the kitchen of your first New York apartment?
[At least one member of The Lo-Down team does. Maybe it’s still there on East 12th Street.]
Well Lorence Dippolito of Misrahi Realty is advertising an “old world” studio apartment at 27 Orchard St. with a shower inside the kitchen. Even so, he assures us, the apartment “has a separate room for your bed- so the kitchen/living area can easily accommodate a sofa and small table & chairs & more!”
The listing has been getting quite a bit of traction since Gothamist first noticed it yesterday. The price is $1795, although it might be negotiable.
I’ve had cold water flats with tub in kitchen as per original design. Covered by a counter you can lift off, this seems a small adjustment from that.
Actually, reddit was first to notice it, and Viewing NYC was the first to post widely about it. https://viewing.nyc/only-in-nyc-could-this-apartment-with-a-shower-in-the-kitchen-rent-for-1-800/ Gothamist doesn’t really do a good job at properly attributing posts
