Most Expensive Zip Codes, 10012, Estate of the Day
For the next couple of weeks we will be checking out some homes in the most expensive zip codes in the United States, up today, 10012. This zip code is in the SoHo area of New York City, New York. This zip code has a median price of $2,460,000 and a huge appreciation rate of 508% since 1990!
We've spent a lot of time in this code for estate of the day features in the past because it is a celebrity magnet and home to some of New York's most attractive real estate. Recently we covered one of the most expensive condos in the area, an apartment at 76 Crosby, a building that is home to Kelly Ripa and Mark Conseulos.
Today's estate is in the New Museum Building on Broadway. The 4,678-square-foot loft has maple finishes throughout for a cohesive look. The space was designed by architect Alison Spear and uses the hallways as library and children's play space. There is a large kitchen and a maple-lined central media room with a wet bar. The master bedroom has large south-facing windows, a walk-in closet and an all-marble bath with whirlpool, separate shower and heated floors. There are three additional bedrooms and another full bath. The rest of the home includes a powder room and laundry room and the home has central air and an audio system. The historic building has doorman service, a common roof deck and storage. This home is listed at $7.995 million.

See what happens when you slam buildings up against each other. Not enough windows. :)

The area with shelving, play space and also chairs remind me too much of museum gift shops, etc. I don't know whether it's the light hardwoods or the functional design, but those cabinets just leave me cold. Same with the bathroom. What's with the idea of looking at yourself in the mirror (or the reflective surfaces of the cabinets) when you're using the toilet, too?

Where is the studio? This building is supposed to house fine artists and their families. That is how the building got its permit to convert to "joint living-work quarters for artists." (I know, I was at the hearing.) Under the zoning law, these artists need to be certified as such by the department of cultural affairs, whose criteria include: 1. The individual is engaged in the fine arts, not the commercial arts, including but not limited to sculpture, choreography, filmmaking, and the composition of music, regularly and on an ongoing
2. The individual demonstrates a serious, consistent commitment to his or her art form;
3. The individual is currently engaged in his or her art form;
4. The individual demonstrates a need for a large loft space in which to create his or her art.
Where???
This would probably not be among the most expensive zip codes if the zoning laws were enforced.
