The exterior is so striking, and how fortunate the apartments are to have those generous windows.

I'm always for the preservation of original wood details.  I don't care for the direction they went in with the interior design, yet it's fun to imagine what they could have done with such a space.

I do like to see even spaces that don't have personal appeal for me--- helps me "hone" my own preferences, etc.

So I enjoy it when others post interiors that, for whatever reason, have caught their eye.  Thanks for posting, @NYCLatinaMe , and giving all the interesting back story on this apartment.

No to the gray kitchen. I'd rather the interior be reflective of the exterior. It's such a drastic contrast.

It looks interesting but minimalistic. Not much charm or warmth to me (which is what I prefer)-

No thank you.  I don't care for any of it.  Too cold, stark, harsh and uninviting to me.  I could never relax in that environment.

@NYCLatinaMe No I don't think anyone was snookered. The Times got the pitures right from the listing. I went to the listing and I think maybe it's just that they ramped up the brightness or something. Like it's too perfect in some spots or edges are softened. Maybe it's just the lighting in the place and there are a couple of other pictures on the listing that look normal so maybe it's tough to photograph. And now I'm checking out the other listings I can't afford and I think they just brighten up the pics.

Just saying I don't think I can get a real feel for it from these pictures. It looks like a great space and in person I might like it. I'm probably a heathen but I'm not sure I like the shelves.  Or maybe just something different for paint. Not loving that combo. I actually like the kitchen

Now I'm off to figure out how I can buy a different place in Tribeca for the bargain price of 1.8 million!

This is what I thought too @Love my grandkids   sterile, cold, unimagintive yet I'm guessing very expensive due to the locale.

As someone else here said, easy to clean because there's little in this apt to clean.

I really like this a lot but would add a few more items and color to warm it up and give it a little more cozy or homey feel.  It wouldn't take much though.

[CANDLEQUEEN]

Not my style, but very beautiful. That kitchen is gorgeous!!! Love all the windows too.

I love the place and especially the kitchen--all the colors appeal to me alot. It's very spacious for NYC--and altho very neutral, it is open to pops of color all over.

I don't see anything unusual about mixing the wood tones with the grey kitchen.  Warms (although I don't think this wood tone is particularly warm) and cools are often mixed together to create a balanced look.

That being said, the only thing I like about this apartment is the exterior.
