Staged Frights: Recent NYC listings with unforgettable details

By Michelle Mazzarella | From Great Listings Friday, February 28, 2020

880 Fifth Avenue via Halstead

As anyone who's ever tried to buy or sell an apartment knows, staging can make or break a listing's chances of finding a buyer. While some of the following listings have only just come on the market, others have lingered and it may be easy to figure out why. Certain apartment hunters may be scared away by the pictures, others will insist on seeing the units in person, but everyone will definitely remember them.

↓ The Hamilton, 264 West 22nd Street, #20 – $445,000

Co-op | 1 bed, 1 bath

(Compass)

Charm abounds in this lovely 1 bedroom home on the quietest of Chelsea streets. With lovely pre-war details including a decorative fireplace, crown molding, oak strip flooring, and exposed brick, this apartment truly feels like home. Relax in a comfortable living area with enough space for a dining table. See floor plan and full details here.

Feeling Sheepish

↓ 47 East 67th Street, #5 – $3,400,000

Co-op | 2 beds, 2.5 baths

47 East 67th Street via Brown Harris Stevens

This triple-mint duplex co-op is situated in a limestone mansion on the Upper East Side in close proximity to Madison Avenue shopping, Park Avenue Armory, and iconic sections of Central Park...including Sheep Meadow. Did that inspire this guest in the Great Room? See floor plan and full details here.

Minimalism to the Max

↓ 25 West 71st Street, #23 – $3,995,000

Co-op | 4 beds, 2.5 baths

25 West 71st Street via Compass

Following a recent renovation, this Upper West Side co-op in a beautiful brownstone boasts a chef's kitchen outfitted with Miele appliances and a built-in wine fridge. However, we wish the buyer luck finding them in this ultra-sleek kitchen with abundant cabinetry concealing everything! See floor plan and full details here.

Holy Light

↓ The Landmark at Strong Place, 58 Strong Place, #3G – $1,495,000

Condo | 2 beds, 2 baths | 1,105 ft²

The Landmark at Strong Place via Sotheby's

This former church was converted to condos in 2010, and many original architectural details are still intact...including the "grand" windows in the master suite. Pray that this sanctified atmosphere doesn't distract from a good night's sleep. See floor plan and full details here.

Time Warp

↓ 60 East 88th Street, #10FL – $5,650,000

Condo | 5 beds, 4.5 baths | 3,494 ft²

60 East 88th Street via Brown Harris Stevens

This full-floor home appears to be having an identity crisis: It is situated in a post-war boutique condominium on the Upper East Side, but has been staged to evoke its prewar cooperative neighbors. See floor plan and full details here.

Sit Down if You Dare

↓ Madison Square Park Tower, 45 East 22nd Street, #21B – $2,995,000

Condo | 1 bed, 1 bath | 1,128 ft²

Madison Square Park Tower via The Corcoran Group

We hope that those visiting going to this sleek new condo for a dinner party remember the sweeping views and delicious meal prepared in the chef's kitchen, not how they survived sitting in these ergonomically incorrect chairs. See floor plan and full details here.

Taking Flight

↓ 880 Fifth Avenue, #1H – $1,200,000

Co-op | Studio, 2 baths | 1,000 ft²

880 Fifth Avenue via Halstead

We're familiar with wingback chairs, but that's taken a little too literally in this Upper East Side studio with historic details and arched entryways. See floor plan and full details here.

You've Made This Bed...

↓ 50 West, 50 West Street, #49B – $4,195,000

Condo | 2 beds, 2.5 baths | 1,513 ft²

50 West via Douglas Elliman

What was the first thing you noticed about this master bedroom - the spectacular river and bridge views, or the headboard masquerading as a work of art? See floor plan and full details here.
