76 Crosby, Estate of the Day
If there were real estate staging awards (and really there should be, I might just need to create them) then today's listing might be nominated in the "most obvious" category. This three-bedroom New York condo loft at 76 Crosby is the one of those white New York box condos and instead of using colorful furniture to warm the place up a bit the stagers used white couches, white flowers, white towels in the bathroom. Also, I think the Barcelona lounge chair should be stricken from the stager's playbook. The condo's walls are blindingly white but the bathrooms are dark stone and tile caves of bathing retreat. The opaque glass wall in the living room also gives me pause, it makes the space seem rather narrow. The apartment is over 5, 262 square feet of space but the pictures don't seem to show that to best effect. Coincidentally, when I was googling around for more information on this building I saw that Curbed covered this place yesterday pointing out that both Gawker head Nick Denton and cheery TV personality Kelly Ripa inhabit the same building. I also found an old sold listing at Corcoran with a very similar staging job. This one is listed at $9.4 million.

5200 sq.ft. seems optimistic...i get roughly 4200 by adding the dimensions. regardless its a gorgeous place, but its obscenely priced. i cant wait for wall street to crash so NY real estate prices start behaving like the rest of the country.

Heck, if the Department of Buildings enforced the zoning law, these people probably wouldn't be living there. The building is supposed to be occupied only by fine artists and their families. TV Actor is not defined as a " fine artist".
