Few days ago we shared some information about 2BR 2BA with Terrace at New York by Gehry, available for rent in July at the net effective rate of $6,743 per month (meaning, it is really $7,305, but you will receive one month free on a thirteen month lease), and called it “a sophisticated proposition for the design-minded” (open for discussion). And if you can afford this rent ($87,660 on a 13 months contract), you may as well the furniture? Take a look: [more]
Space and Layout, plus a little bit of creativity, and the right perspective. The idea here is to show you how, by picking the right layout and being creative in the process of furnishing the space, you can save yourself quite a bit of money, otherwise needed for the apartment with a “proper name tag” (2 bedroom 2 bathroom in this case).
So, what we have here is a 1BR with an alcove, and with 2 full bathrooms (one with a tub and one with a shower stall), and our plan is to “convert” the alcove into your second “bedroom space” (not into a bedroom per say, since by missing a window we cannot call it as such, but into a night zone space that would serve the same purpose).
And all we really need is a nicely designed screen (more about it soon), to make this little project happen. Easy. Take a look, and let us know what you think: [more]
Two Gold is a full service luxury apartment building located in the heart of Financial District in Lower Manhattan. The list of building amenities is pretty impressive: it provides 24-hour uniformed concierge and attentive staff; fitness center with separate weight room; heated, glass-enclosed lap pool; club room with full size billiards table; landscaped all-season rooftop terrace; rooftop solarium with indoor fireplace and lounging area; children’s playroom; bicycle storage; dry cleaning, laundry and housekeeping; and on-site parking.
Yesterday, we wrote three posts sharing information about three different apartments, available for rent (unfurnished) at 2 Gold Street:
Studio Apartment #2611
1BR Apartment #22-G
2BR Apartment #3501
Today, we want to show you what can fit inside them; take a look and let us know what you think: [more]

They are all relatively inexpensive, located in a national landmark, pet friendly, 24 hour doorman building, nestled between John Jay Park and the East River, just steps from the boardwalk, managed by SW Management (also known as City and Suburban). In our book, they all represent good value, so make sure to check them out if you are currently on the market and if they fit into your search criteria. [more]

Last week we wrote about apartment #9-D at 22 River Terrace, available for rent for mid July occupancy. Line D has, in our opinion, one of the nicest corner 2BR layouts in the building, featuring both southern and western exposures, with direct Hudson River views. The apartment gets tons of sunlight, and enjoys the most beautiful sunsets over the waterfront. So it came by no surprise that, as we have indicated might be the case, it did not sit on the market long, and is now off of the availability list (meaning, it can already be rented, or the rental application process is pending). We have promised to show you how you can furnish the space, so here you have it for future reference: [more]
Studios with Sleeping Lofts are perhaps not your most typical apartment layouts out there, but we do like the challenge! [more]
Building up on our “Apartment of the Day” – an Alcove Studio #14-G at Le Rivage, here is an idea for you on how to furnish it wisely, utilizing some nice modern furniture made by IKEA. No pressurized walls are necessary to get a feeling of a proper Junior 1 Bedroom in this unit, in fact, fitting not just one, but two beds (one in a queen and one in a full size): [more]
