Ever wanted to watch a big-screen television while you shave or pick a zit on your face? Now you can!
The Larstrand on 77th and Broadway has begun renting apartments, and they’re outfitted with all sorts of luxury amenities. That includes 24-inch TV’s built into the bathroom mirrors, with their own defoggers. And if you need even more home entertainment, there are LCD screens on the refrigerators too.
Other amenities, which you can see at the leasing site here, include a snazzy roof deck, children’s play room and indoor lounge with a gas fireplace. It doesn’t come cheap: studios go for $3,100 a month, one-bedrooms for$4,700, two-bedrooms for $9,200 and three-bedrooms for $16,500 (there are a total of 143 market-rate units in the 20-story building, Curbed notes). Thirty-nine lucky people got below-market rate apartments (as cheap as $546 per month for a studio) through a lottery that we wrote about here.
In fact, the building is a kind of microcosm of the Upper West Side, with the fabulously wealthy and the working poor living side by side, staring together into the brilliance of their wall-to-wall flatscreens.
How quaint.
Please explain “blow-market rate apartments”.
Those are the apartments that are so expensive only cocaine dealers can afford them.
Affirmative action is a shark-toothed buzz saw that ties Bambi to a wolf. Viva slavery!
There is no getting around it.
It has most uninteresting uninspired façade in recent memory. Those windows !!
Ugliest building in the neighborhood. Oh wait, the new-ish one down the block on 78th St. towards Amsterdam is maybe uglier.
