such cute siblings, not twins, new at $2.1mm at 105 Fifth Avenue

no web (yet)
#4D is said to be “1,765 sq ft” (set up as 2 bedrooms) and is asking that $2.1mm (and $1,685/mo) that is said to be “beautiful [and] renovated” with a Siematic kitchen, 2 marble baths, central air and 11 foot ceilings. Unfortunately, it is so new that it is not up on Corcoran’s site, but when it is it should be here.

he had me at ne plus ultra
#5C is said to be “1,500 sq ft” of “pure luxury”, asking that same $2.1mm (and $1,619/mo) and is set up as 1 bedroom and 1.5 baths. Alex deBourdes of Eychner had me at “no finer finishes on the market”, since if you say this you can’t afford to be contradicted.

The superlatives pile on (and on). “Powder room with most striking sink you’ll ever see”; “largest Boffi professional kitchen”, etc, etc, etc. Too much to paraphrase (though he lost me at “coterie”, then again at “Xanadu”).

many words, fewer pix
I wish the ratio of photos to superlatives were better, but there are enough to show that the green thing on the floor plan is a step-up office, with partitions that do not reach the ceiling. In other words, that is not usable as a bedroom. In other other words, this is a “1,500 sq ft” One Bed Wonder priced at $1,400/ft.

The four windows are all in front (north, over East 18 Street), split between the bedroom and living room. No pix of that side of the loft.

separated at birth?
#7D in this same building has been on the market all of 4 weeks, as yet a third firm weighs in with superlatives. PruDE’s Josh Rubin flogs that one as “triple mint”, “exudes elegance”, “well designed”, with “high-end appliances”. Like the brand new but somewhat secret #4D, it is said to be “1,765 sq ft” but this one is asking $2.25mm and $1,756/mo for the 2 BR + 2 bath array.

The #7D floor plan is a very logical use of the space, with the bedrooms up front, along the window wall and back-to-back bathrooms. #4D probably has plumbing in the same places, and may well have a very similar layout.

I am sure it is just the décor, but #7D has a very “prewar apartment” look to it, to me.

building history above $1,000/ft, but…
This coop has had a run of sales of beautifully renovated lofts, but none (yet) at $1,400/ft. There were 2007 sales of:
