Just when you think you’ve seen it all, New York City’s bonkers real estate market delivers.
Pegged as a “West Village Diamond In The Rough renovation project,” a quaint two-bedroom, two-bathroom co-op has hit the market for $1.5 million.
At first sight, the apartment seems pretty ordinary. It features a decent size living area, a cozy kitchen with a high top kitchen table, two small, but fairly comfortable bedrooms, and a nice powder room.
The problem?
You have to go inside a closet to bathe yourself.

If that sounds like a hot, wet mess for $1.5 million, that because the listing is actually for two side-by-side apartments seperated by a small hallway.
“This is the canvas you’ve been waiting for if you’re one of the many people that ‘WANT A GUT RENOVATION PROJECT,'” the listing appropriately notes. “Bring your imagination and bring your designer… not to mention (okay I know I already mentioned it) the location!!”
“It’s not everyday that an opportunity to create your dream two bedroom apartment in a dream location comes around.”

Building amenities include a roof deck, laundry and a bicycle room, and comes with a live in super.
But don’t even think about washing your dog in that handy kitchen shower: The listing explains that only cats are allowed.
