Our Turner Towers love-fest last week prompted one reader to bring our attention to another, larger listing in the grand old co-op. This seventh-floor three-bedroom weighs in at a whopping 1,800 square feet and has a large dining and three bedrooms to boot. Downsides? The kitchen and bath “need work.” The price tag for this pre-warry goodness? $1,100,000. Any recent comps in the building for this? We couldn’t find anything relevant on Property Shark.

  1. They’ve got a gym and playroom in the basement. And storage. It’s kind of like a self-contained oasis, that building. I sort of love it, even though it is well out of our range. It would be fun and Harriet-the-Spy-esque to grow up there, I think.

    I love the penthouse, but that layout is nuts.

  2. 11217, I agree with you. If you work from home for instance, you are there to accept deliveries and Fedex envelopes, and there whenever minor repairs need to be done, etc, etc. You would not need a doorman and live-in super. But if you work in Manhattan and keep late hours, the convenience of a full-serv building is really worth every penny. This is a Manhattan-style luxury apartment building. That is probably why there seems to be a reaction agaisnt it. Many don’t like living in large multi-family buildings. No matter how nice.
    1.1 million seems like a very reasonable price to me for this huge apartment in this gorgeous building.

  3. I have a friend who lives in turner towers and redid her whole kitchen, moved it over into the diningroom and created a real third bedroom with 1/2 bathroom. It looks gorgeous. That said, they bought the place in the 80’s for a lot less than 100,000. The maintenance is so high due to years of deferred maintenance. I like turner towers, but it is inconvenient.

  4. I was just saying the maintenance costs are 18K a year or so.

    I realize only a fraction of that actually goes to the doorman, but still…it’s a hunk of change to go to services some people don’t want or need.

    I’ll keep my 250 a month maintenance and have my packages delivered to the office and do my own grocery shopping.

    I think a price of 799K on this would get the job done.
