I could be happy in one of those studios. I wonder how many have escaped gut renovation and still have mantels and paneling?
Here are two for sale:

Oh my. Marvelous indeed. The sold apartment is to die for, despite the awkward bathroom placement. The Corcoran apt. isn't too bad either (though that looks like one of those modern limestone replacement mantels---still, not bad---and has a much better plan. Sigh.
I meant the first listing has the better plan. great space. Platt really knew what he was doing
