Tasteful Friends: Judge Judy Dumps Duplex

Boring and blah considering the luxury price.

I think it's beautiful and well-decorated. So nice not to see everything in gray / beige / white.

I could be very happy there.

Pretty humble place considering she’s closing in on being a billionaire.

Dreadful dated old-lady decor.

R4. It’s only a pied-à-terre. ;)

The latest promo =

the staging is so gauche to me, particularly the plants. . . but the neighbourhood is the best

The best of …what?

There are a dozen neighborhoods in Manhattan just as nice, or even nicer.

Those black tiles in the white marble(?) floor are irritating, ugly, useless and exactly what for? Matchy matchy reference to the staircase?

What's so bad about Tom and Mickey? They seemed fine on Selling New York.

r11 wasn't there a family of a mother and daughters on that show, and they all had weird pumpkin shaped heads?

From the New York Times:

"The two bought the Sutton Place home in 2013 for use as a pied-à-terre, paying $8.5 million."

For sale 11 years later at "only" $9.5 million. That doesn't seem to much of an increase. Has the Manhattan real estate market leveled off?

Buildings crumble, dumb is forevah!

3Do any of the rooms look directly onto the river? Boring. Little Old Ladyish.

R11 quite obnoxious, especially since the one started out as B-list lounge singer on cruise ships… wisteria sisters, climbing their way up the side of a house in search of respectability. It’s a bit much coming from real estate salesmen.

It’s a very segmented market. TLDR: very few people are looking to buy on Sutton Place, with a gut renovation expected.

I like it, especially the red dining room, I'm with R3, so nice to see something not gray/beige/white everywhere

Here's the Compass listing

I like the terrace but the inside of the apartment is nothing special.

I think she has horrible granny taste in muddy colors and furnishings, but the apartment is lovely and makes the most of its penthouse setting. With great light and views all around, set back from surrounding buildings, it really does feel like an apartment in the sky. Less the furnishings of course, and with some very modest changes to the finishes, I love the apartment. Too bad one of the reception rooms isn't a little larger, likewise the ceilings could be higher, but it's a great apartment. And the terraces with all the red brick architecture around afre perfect.

So many bathrooms. They are pretty nice ones, too. But still. I think it's missing some spaces a "grand apartment" should have - maids room, large pantry, breakfast room or breakfast nook of some kind, a laundry room - store room, exercise room.

A powder room in the library and another terlet off the kitchen…very weak upper floor.

She's a repub & doesn't want to a pay a penny for any migrants.

"Migrants"

Stunning and tastefully decorated

The opposite of homey or warm or comfortable-looking. It looks like a hotel for lawyers.

Oh my! It has been a few years for sure, and at first I thought, "How can he be that old?" but I met Tom right about the time he became interested in real estate. It coincided with not much happening on the cabaret front. I remember him talking about how nice it was to finally get "good furniture from Pottery Barn." Growing up, I thought lounge singing and people saying things like "That's showbiz!" were characterization devices for other forms of entertainment. I had had no idea that there were folks so wholly absorbed by that sphere. He strikes me as the answer to Judge Judy's prayers as far as selling the place goes.
