I WANNA live there # 26

I live in a pretty incredible area - It's an historical neighbourhood loaded with tons and tons and tons of charm - and 20th century architecture, just steps away from the city center, it's also a pretty expensive neighbourhood ( in which I live in servants quarters basically compared to what I'm surrounded by ) 
Because there are days I don't have furniture makeovers to show you - I've chosen Wednesdays to showcase and feature one home that's for sale around here.................( or apartment - or duplex - or teepee )
Keep in mind this is in the heart of the city - so the prices reflect that  - think Manhattan - where these places would cost 3 or 4 times what they're listed for here!

Good morning everyone - 
2 weeks ago we were in London - 
Last week was Grey Gardens - 
And this week?
Well, I'm in a New York state of mind....................

All listings were found at  Sotheyby's New York City

Some folks like to get away
Take a holiday from the neighbourhood
Hop a flight to Miami Beach
Or to Hollywood
But I'm taking a Greyhound
On the Hudson River Line
I'm in a New York state of mind 

First one up is a Prewar 4 bedroom in the Apthorp 
( Nora Ephron, Rosie O'Donnell both lived there in the past )
If you want to dance among the stars this apartment building is where you'd find some of them - not sure if they dance or not - but they should be - they most definitely should be dancing around and thanking their lucky stars that they have careers that can get them this.
9,950,000.00

The Apthorp is a historic condominium apartment building in New York City, New York. The Renaissance Revival building designed by architects Clinton & Russell for absentee landowner William Waldorf Astor was built between 1906 and 1908; it occupies the full block between Broadway and West End Avenue and between 78th and 79th Streets. The building is built around a large interior courtyard. It is on the National Register of Historic Places and a city landmark.
