new at 241 W 36 St / $1,000/ft but
funny layout, full price
Peter Browne at Stribling has been making a pretty good Manhattan loft living in the West 30s for many years. His new listing at 241 W 36 St is #10F, is a nearly square loft with two long exposures in 1,800 sq ft, asking $1.85mm (maintenance of $1,518/mo). Maybe there are more pix coming soon, but I am having trouble reconciling the pictures and layout with the modifier “stunning”.
What are the yellow lines on the floor plan (glass brick walls?)? What are the two semi-circle doors? Does the curbed line represent a wall or a beam? Unless a beam, how do you get into the den? The second bedroom is (a) not very large and (b) behind the kitchen.
All things considered, I think this price is rather aggressive. This neighborhood does not generally command a premium. Peter’s other listing in the building is #6R, which is 1,700 sq ft asking $1.3mm and was on the market before with another firm.
I am also scratching my head over what the typo could have been that came out as “near Bryant Park”. Also wondering what the upgrade of “separate freight elevator with super attendant” might mean….

[1:30 PM weirdness update: Not sure what is going on with this listing, as it disappeared from the Stribling web site pretty much immediately after I finished reviewing it. Also Peter’s #6R listing in the same building….]
[3:30 post-weirdness update: both listings are back; both links work again; guess it was just a Stribling-dot-com hiccup]
