This is in a duplex for sale for $6.9 million on the Upper West Side here in NYC. It comes complete with a library stocked with 2,500 books. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/01/14/695-million-dollar-uws-du_n_809265.html#224360
I can’t really swing it by myself…anyone want to go halfsies?
PROLOGUE: A BLACK CONDOR DIPPED her featherless head and flapped her wings, straining for height. Another vulture drifted in front of her, forcing the condor to climb higher in the crowded wheel of circling birds. The condor struggled, her body weak from having little to eat over the past month. The sun had yet to… Read more »
Oh. My. Gosh. *drool* That is like nearly it, the dream library, ah heck, drop the nearly. Have you ever watched that Selling NY show on tv? That library is awesome, it just needs a couple more floors 🙂
I was thinking the same thing. A few more floors and now we’re talking, but as a starter library I suppose it’s not bad. I’ve seen some shows that feature apartments in the city so that could be it. Amazing stuff!
I need that library for my modest collection. Though I am afraid I can’t go halfsies, more like 0.1% of it, lol
Well, if I start saving now I could probably swing the other 99.9% in, oh, a thousand years.
Yeah sure I can go halfsies, I was planning to rob a bank one of these days anyways, so might as well be for a good cause.
And I’ll also buy a lottery ticket just in case that plan doesn’t work out.
Can you win the lottery from prison 🙂
Sure, in Holland everything is possible! I’ll simple transfer the money to my Swiss bank account. No worries.
True. Probably have to buy the apartment above it to expand the library.
Oh wow! That is awesome! And only 6.9 million too… lessee, I’m digging up my backyard to start landscaping. If my shovel strikes a chest of buried loot, or a giant nugget of gold, I’m in!
Cool. If you have a map of your backyard, start with anything marked with an X, that’s usually where you’ll find a treasure chest. Just watch out for pirates.
I’m with you on that. I know some people want all that space, but I’d rather something a bit cozier and filled with books.
I’m in on it!
Yeah that sounds alright Chris, its a little ghetto but I could probably tough it out for awhile. Let me know when we can close the deal and I’ll load up the Forsyth Bus and we’ll all be heading down!
Take care,
Jeff
Re: I’m in on it!
I think we’ll be able to squeeze enough cots in there to fit you all 🙂
