Things you won't do in a house of $95 million
Real estate agency Rasker is working from home for a day, so I’m sneaking in, completely unsolicited by the way, into her real estate portfolio. On harpersbazaar.com I came across a ‘nice property’. It’s an apartment complex in Manhattan. Park Avenue 432 between 56st and 57st Street to be precise. A bit too midtown, said the New York snob, but who cares about that, because that apartment… you never want to leave.
Just like there are many things I would never do there.
The curtains close
Look at the view. And you’re higher than the Empire State Building, so no one can look in on you.
Showering
Just look at that bath. Look. Just for a moment.
Being unhappy
“My name is Carrie. I live here.” “I think I died and went to real estate heaven.” How can you not be happy in a house like this?.
Going to a massage parlor
If I can manage to pay off this mortgage monthly, I can surely also have a masseur come over from time to time. I have a separate massage room for that, after all.
House swapping
Unless it’s Roberto Cavalli who jumps off his yacht for a week and gives me his entire staff, then he can definitely spruce up my apartment with his wife for a bit. As long as he tidies everything up nicely afterwards, of course.
