If you didn’t know Dr. Drew had an apartment in the neighborhood, the New York Post points out that Pinsky and wife Susan purchased the pad as a pied-à-terre about ten years ago, when their daughter was attending Barnard College, and that they’ve been renting it out for about four years.
The apartment has been listed with Sofia Falleroni of Compass. View full listing details here.
Hmm – not so much Dr Drew’s pad as it is Dr Drew’s investment property.
That living room photo makes the space look fake, as if it’s rendering done in CAD.
The bedroom and bath photos have similar problems.
Of course — that stupid “staging” thing that realtors do — filling a space with the most anodyne furnishings this side of Holiday Inn Express. I despise it.
John:
And then realtors pick the worst even lighting, supposing that showing every corner is how people light their homes.
In this instance, the photographer (the person processing the files for display) was obviously also told turn now the contrast, don’t let any colour dominate or pop.
Ha ha — yes, very unappealing all around. And ubiquitous — it’s hardly this listing; it’s EVERY listing by Compass and other agencies. When my family sold our home some years back, the realtor insisted we stage the place (same company, same Holiday Inn Express taste) because — as we were told — prospective buyers really need to see the place filled with (not their words…) [hideously ugly art and faux furnishings] in order to get a feel for what it’s like to live there. I guess we have all had to buy into the notion that no one has any imagination, no one can visualize a space’s potential without having it crammed with rent-a-schlock. Staging is costly and ugly (and wasteful in time and energy), but we’re told the offers will be higher on account of the effort. Depressing.
Looks like a hospital room.
Exudes all the warmth of a clinic’s waiting room.
Agree. The pictures are horrible. Amazing that this is acceptable to a professional realtor.
