If you lived here you’d be home by now — because you’d never need to leave. What today’s luxury developers are selling now is lifestyle.
By the time I got to the master bath, with its radiant-heated floors, free-standing egg-shaped tub I initially mistook for an art installation, and a $63,000 slab of marble topping the two-sink vanity — so buttery it looked poured — I was almost crying.
Crying for all I didn’t have, for all I would never have, for all a socially minded person should not covet:
The marble, of course, and also the condo’s cove ceilings, whatever those are, and a personal rotunda, and a private elevator that opens right into my foyer, and beyond that, a life that is discreet and curated and staffed with smiling folks delighted to walk my dog on a day that is too cold for me to go out myself even though I own a wardrobe of Canada Goose, and so free from financial concerns that I’d laugh at a condo fee that could hit $15,000 a month.
