This 19th-century building is one of the most unique and historical properties in all of Manhattan with its own Wikipedia page and numerous press articles! Famously known as Millay's House, the three-story plus finished basement 1873 Dutch-style house has been renovated with a modern touch and aesthetic still it is featuring original details of the house. This gem of a townhouse has 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, 4 wood-burning fireplaces, original exposed beams, and a fully finished lower level retreat.
There's abundant light on all three floors, from the skylight to the oversized windows, and the rear of the house has floor-to-ceiling French doors on the first and second floors that open onto a tree-shaded backyard. Each floor has an open layout and a beautiful white oak floor throughout. Modern kitchen with custom millwork, Italian marble countertops, backsplash and bathrooms.
With its unique architecture, this famous home shares notable residents. In 1923, the house was leased by a consortium of artists who used it for actors working at the nearby Cherry Lane Theater. Cary Grant and John Barrymore stayed at the house while performing at the Cherry Lane during this time. The anthropologist, Margaret Mead, The cartoonist, William Steig, and the Pulitzer prize-winning poet, Edna St. Vincent Millay lived in the house from 1923 to 1924
This is really a once in a lifetime chance to own your own very unique piece of NYC history!

“We’re not gonna slide open this door because it’s finicky and gets stuck”. For $5,000,000 it better open. I understand location etc, but $5 million is still absurd.
Exactly, they better slide open and close automatically and make a noise like I'm on the starship Enterprise.
These types of doors have to be adjusted periodically to maintain opening and closing smoothly--takes about 2 minutes to fix if you know where to look and how to adjust.
Just have then replace when buying! no biggie! I think they will oblige or give you money to.
@@saralieb8690 😂😂😂😂😂👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🙏💚I'm with you Sara.
obviously you have no idea how real estate works. I could sell someone a dung heap at the right location and they would pay through the nose
This book is a comprehensive guide for anyone who wants to create various types of garden buildings. The book provides clear and detailed instructions with numerous photos. ruclips.net/user/postUgkxBE-xSmFU7PIaMFUmmhnFxE035s5svtxeAs a novice, I appreciated the book's step-by-step approach to the basics of building. The book also appeals to the more advanced DIY enthusiast with projects ranging from simple to complex. The book is up to date with the latest trends, such as solar panels, green roofs, and sweet chestnut shakes. The book has inspired me to pursue more projects in the future.
Hey Gang. My mom and I lived in this house from around 1965 to the mid 1970s. It looked totally different back then. The basement had a dirt floor and I took it over and had a lava lamp and turned it into a psychedelic dungeon (I was a teenager in 1965). The kitchen was the first room and had a trap door built into the floor that led to the stairs down into the room. Straight ahead towards the back was the darkish dining room. Upstairs there was one bathroom in the middle, my mom's room towards the back, and my bedroom towards the front. I think we had fireplaces in the rooms. The third floor was one giant living room with front-to-back bookcase with a stereo system.
I can tell you two stories.
The first involves my friend Joel F. He was my roommate at a boarding school. We both dropped out of the boarding school and Joel had nowhere to stay so I told him he could hide out in the basement so my mom wouldn't know. One day, our cleaning and cooking lady put a freshly baked chicken in the fridge and went upstairs to clean. Joel, hungry and smelling the chicken, snuck into the kitchen, taking a quarter of the chicken back down to the basement with him. There was quite a ruckus about an hour later when our cleaning person opened the fridge!
The second story is about me forgetting my keys. It wasn't hard to climb up the window grate and into my second story bedroom, so that is what I did. Apparently, someone thought I was breaking in and called the cops. The doorbell rang and when I went to answer it I was faced by about seven cops, three of which were on their knees in the street pointing guns at my chest! A lot of tense explanations and exchanging of IDs occurred before all was copacetic.
It was a fun place to live!
My mom, a children's book writer even wrote a book about the house: Mr. Skinner's Skinny House. Here's a link to a page about the house on her website (maintained despite her death several years ago) annmcgovern.com/?qatags=mr-skinners-skinny-house
Ps.. in 1965 when we first rented it, the rent was $300 a month!
What a great story you’ve given!! Not that I’m interested in buying the place (even if I could!) but rather because it gives some interesting story of the place. And one thing it really shows us, is how the world has gone practically insane!
Now, yes, $300 a month rent in 1965 was extremely expensive, your mother must have been doing very well for herself to pay so much.
The average home in 1965 rented for $85 a month. So $300 was over 3 times more than the average person was paying. However, that certainly does NOT translate to $5 MILLION dollars today! Not even close.
It just goes to show how prices have become insane, and a gap is forever widening between the rich and the average person, ultimately striving towards the day when average folks can’t afford anything but to live squaller. It’s a sad state we’ve allowed ourselves to be put in.
A fun place to live with neighbors calling the cops on you? Lol 😆
Wow! $300 :). Thanks for sharing your story Peter, awesome!
Seems to have sold recently for 3.4m about 160,000 more then the owner who bought it in 2013 😅
Ha!! Great story.
Imagine paying $5 million for a house without a dining room on the same floor as the kitchen
He also never mentioned if there was a garage for your car. I can't imagine paying 5$ million and not having a space to park my car, that's insane!
That 1st room at the entry should be the dining room. And the living room downstairs in the basement.
@@v.j.3029 It's NYC you don't need a car. Or you'd have a personal chauffeur.
@@v.j.3029 Living in a city like New York means you don't need to have a car. Humans have only had cars for about 100 years, cities have existed for thousands of years. They work fine without car, some would say much better without them.
@@rowaystarco You are right. I lived in Los Angeles my entire adult life, and had a car. I sold my car almost two years ago to move to New York City, and I am getting around just fine without a car. When I see how backed up the traffic is here in New York City, I know I get around much faster on subways than if I had my car.
Imagine paying $5 million for a house only to sleep in a murphy bed.
lol
And have two closet racks......
NYC in a nutshell
You can literally go anywhere else and buy a nice home. Even in California! You can buy a mansion more than 5 times the sqft of this NYC townhouse for 5 mil.
@@zaramichelle4613 facts the neighborhood is not all that
I think if I had 5 million to spend on a home like this I would definitely use the money to get as far from this townhouse as possible
YES! Just think of how much house $5mil would buy you somewhere that is not an overpriced shitbox like NYC.
Right lmaoooo like wtf , idc if Jesus himself once lived in the house I'm not spending 5 million on a shoe box sized townhouse 😂😂😂
Spend like 1/5th of that in a random state in the middle of the US for basically 2 mansions worth of home...
Honestly, I have no idea why you would live in NY on purpose. If your Job is keeping you there that still doesn't mean it's on purpose.
You could basically buy the entire city of Buffalo instead of one building in NYC. Of course you better buy a fleet of bulldozers while you are at it...
Absolutely!
As someone who prefers small spaces, I’d definitely live here. The bathroom is amazing, I love the old beams, the green space is genuinely beautiful, and I’m 5’3” so I wouldn’t have a problem with the lower ceilings downstairs. I think the best way to maximize your limited bed space would be to get some kind of raised bed, the open space underneath it would make the room seem less jammed full of stuff and you could use it as a small seating area. Still, I could never ever justify spending $5 million on this, even if I had that money to to use.
They finished this place really nicely, but I’m surprised the owner of 75 didn’t buy this to enlarge their home. That would’ve been awesome, unless the preservation board won’t allow that.

Was thinking the same thing. Maybe as a guest house.
I love how none of the virtual mock ups included a bed, they just made every room look like a living room
the bed was in the wall.
@@jemandjemand2362 1 bed on 4 floors
I'm guessing the couch pulled out into a bed.
@@Theyralltakenfu that’s true I feel like a futon would work way better than a super long pull out couch
@@Badminkey7 I actually had a futon for a couple years and I'll be honest, it got tiring. If I had it to do over, I'd buy the pullout couch. The mattresses in them now are equivalent to a bed mattress. Thanks for the comment.
Imagine paying $5,000,000 to share a backyard with 3 other properties, and bedrooms that aren't big enough to fit a bed in.
Just pitch a tent out back and use the rest of the house as your foyer.
And dozens of tourists just standing outside gawking at your house any given day
I would do it if I was a big enough fan of shrek
who the f has 8 foot/wide bed lol
This is far bigger than a tiny house ( of the tiny house movement) there is a lot you can do with this place.
Besides the price, I LOVE IT! Wish there was more of a private backyard, but still, everything is still so useable! I would definitely remodel the master bedroom though, the space could really be utilized better!
Beautiful. If I had 5 million I would buy this in a heartbeat.
“So why’d you pay $5M for this tiny house?”
_Well, the man who illustrated shrek used to live here_
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I'll five you 10 million then
My first response would be, "WTF 🤯 BFD, what are nuts?! But that's just me. 😁
Now it’s worth 100 million
Easily worth over 2x US GDP
Yeah.... I'm gonna say no on this one. Sticky doors, Murphy beds, and actually no room for a bed on the "owners floor"? Hard pass. $5mill can be better spent imo.
There's no other opinion possible
This would make a killing on Airbnb
You could buy a MASSIVE mansion for 5M in Texas
@@NicoleBing Or a slightly less massive mansion fully furnished ;)
@@NicoleBing was going to comment exactly this 😂
The lighting the tub everything I'm in love
I would love it infact I would turn the down stairs room into the main bedroom ( I like a dark bedroom) and turn the others into a study and game room 😁
A series where you bring the person who priced it at 5mil dollars to explain why and how they justify the price would be interesting lol...
He did sort of explain in the beginning.
Simple, same as here in Oz🇦🇺, because we have a whole generation that believes the price of real estate can never drop, so if they (stupidity) paid $4.5m then it must be $5m now.
Its Manhattan. Simple as that.
Lol! It's because it's historical, the neighborhood, and it has outdoor space. I get what you mean though. 5m for this is ridiculous...
He did. The intro
A lot of the "advantages" are actually disadvantages. First off, close space with a fireplace. Disaster waiting to happen. Second off, tourists trying to get inside your home? Third off, the architect turned a very interesting piece of history into a bland and modern small house. What a shame
What a waste of space along the wall, and i'm pretty sure there is a charming red brick behind the plated plaster. I understand that's the easiest way to install AC and insulation, but for a 5M$ house, you can afford a prettier way.
I'm pretty sure none of those "fireplaces" would be allowed to be used with wood. They are cosmetic and decorative.
Nice you stole the ending comment from someone else
You have to think about its history though. It was obviously designed as cheap housing in the 1800s, and the layout was likely not luxurious at all, probably a few private rooms and a kitchen. I think the architect did the best they could with the space
4th off it's in that crime ridden shithole NYC lol
I’m a 5’3 single gal with a kitty I think I would definitely love living there hehe 💖🥰 it has all my dream things in a home marked off, claw foot tub, an older building well lived in, a skylight, beautiful garden/ balcony. What is there not to love
I absolutely love it. It's beautiful! It's like a big tiny house. :D But never would I spend that amount of money on it.
Can't believe they're touting historical interest while having to immediately shut the door so tourists don't follow inside. A nuisance like that should lower the price considerably, not raise it.
People will buy things not because they really want them, but because it’s something other people like & want.
If anyone could actually justify buying this it would probably be better to just let the tourists in and charge for it, lol.
There are a lot of rich people in the world who are insane and will buy whatever because.... gasp... why help others when you can just buy a weird small apartment
This feels like a Sims house with a basement filled with the most expensive items to make it $5 million
😀

Sims: NYC
We come in to find a hapless Sim spinning in place, surrounded by a tiny amount of furniture, unable to fulfill literally any of his needs. He has shit on the easel, which does not count as art, and he will soon succumb to dehydration. But at least he's doing it in the same place as a guy who drew Shrek.
In a heartbeat yes!!! The private outdoor space sold it for me!
Love this!! I would very happily live there!
A milionaire who wants to feel "humble" would buy this apartament 😂
😂😂😂😂😂
Lol
Would probably make a killing as an air bnb
Meanwhile for 5 mil out in NJ you can get a five bedroom, three car garage, in ground pool, 6000 sq foot, with 10 acres.
Is there such a thing?
Notice how they never staged a room with a bed in it.
At 5.36 they did. But from they’re rendered vantage point, one would be standing on the corner of the bed hovered in the ceiling 🤣 and lnot to mention, the fireplace
I noticed that too. Guess you're sleeping on a couch lol
i read this as i watched a visual staging with a bed lmaooo
Thanks for the tour...I would soooooo live here. Love the way it has been staged...looks very cozy and inviting.
I love almost everything in this house and this yard!
I am 5'1" so I would have NO problem with any of the ceiling heights and a twin or full sized bed would be just fine for me. However, for $5mil I would at least like room enough for a dining room table.
Yeah, I think they have done a terrible job on the staging and interior design in terms of end use. They seem to have made a 3 lounge/sitting room, 2 bathroom, one kitchen, one bed house...and the bedroom doesn't have the closet in it, and none of the closet space is long enough for full length coats or dresses. The front room on the same level as the kitchen would be the dining room for mine, downstairs library/music/lounge room, 3 level bathroom and bedroom, fourth would need to be remodelled as well to a functional bedroom and study/art space.
I currently live in a narrow, one room to a level, 4 storey back--to-back townhouse and the extra light compared to ours, ventilation, clever stairwell, kitchen on the entry level, and use of convertible furniture would all be awesome - but so would better insulation, proper sealing from the wet in the basement room, room in the bathroom to sit straight on the loo....
Or a real bed omg 😮
@@urbaninterlude should we make a dining/living room , as your suggestion?
samee
I'm 5'16" (what I tell people, it isn't a typo) and my wife is 5'0". She'd have no problems with it. And probably would have no problem with me not being able to be there! Kidding...
A bed would fit comfortably in the common area backyard. If you’re ok with sleeping outside, with no privacy and maybe a few snowstorms, you could make this work.
GIggle
And bugs, a ton of them.
and the possibility of rain
You can sleep outside for free in a place with better weather like California! That's what poor homeless do!
Okay Holly, are you a realtor? Because, for a second I thought yeah that could work! 😂🤣
In a heartbeat - it's perfection
I actually realLy like this ! Super interesting . Narrow but lots of usable spaces and so full of character
for the awkward shape the design is really smart for what they had to work with, and doesn’t make it look as small as it is, the white walls, vertical storage, dark ceilings make it look more spacious.
"Make it look more spacious." Maybe. But, in actuality, it ISN'T more spacious. A smidge over 8 feet wide. Choke points include all stairways. No elevator for furniture delivery access to all floors; and no apparent emergency egress during fires or other calamities?
"Look more spacious" isn't being more spacious lol.
Looks spacious. Isn't.
@@TheSGBrown i live in a 600sq ft apartment so i get it lol the listing online looked way bigger than when i moved in, and also let me stress i said “it doesn’t look as small as it is” acknowledging that it is very small lmfao
@@leahtv7778 “it doesn’t look as small as it is” don’t worry i’ve acknowledged that it was small but it doesn’t look as small lmao
As a college student, this is more space than I could possibly need.
That's also gonna cost me more than I'll ever make.
so, your imagination and self esteem are that low? how can you even say such things about yourself? 5 mil is nothing in 21 century, get on it!
5 mil is a lot ! That’s set me for life in the “21st century” lol

Absolutely stunning! Would definitely live in that, being only 5ft tall, wouldn’t be a problem!
Marcia ~ I'm also 5ft. I'd live there too. We petite ladies def have our advantages. :)
A nice piece of history but man.. who is buying this lol
honerstly, if i could. me
Imagine all the people taking pictures and wanting to look in your place 24/7 ehhh...
Me too!
Nobody. That’s why it’s sitting there for sale

You know, videos like this only make the property more famous and unique and increase its value. So thanks for contributing to the outrageous real estate prices. If no one gave a shit, this place would be forgotten.
I would love this, it's not just about the space... it's the location as well.
As nice and remodeled as it is, I wouldn’t pay 5 million dollars for that place.
I honestly woudn't even call that a nice remodel. The shelvings look cheap. The doors are flimsy and unstable. The fireplaces are impractical, as in ... why in the bathroom? Why where you have to place your bed? Like, you know that thing is super narrow.
@@reddo6092 - Right. $5 million and it has sticky doors? They couldn't afford some WD40?
Even for new york 5 mil is just insane.
One mile east and the same money gets you a five bedroom, seven bathroom, 4500 square foot freestanding house with a back yard and a two-car garage.
Preach! That apartment was awkward for 500 dollars! Aint no way in the world, i'm going pay someone 5 million dollars to feel cramped and awkward in my own living space! New Yorkers are crazy!
“TONS of storage built in” - *opens one small cupboard*
i know right, have 4 closets and full living room furniture and kings size bed... for far less than $1m
To be fair, there were a crap ton of little cupboards and hidey holes in that place.
😅😅😅
I mean yeah it's nice looking and spacious enough to live in.... but for like 50k.. lol, it's absurd that anyone would even consider paying 5mil for that.. then again people buy things like Gucci and Nike shit.....
This place is absolutely stunning
This is NYC people! I would most def buy this gorgeous character-filled beauty in a heartbeat.
“Kind of like an escape- or a secret entrance.” Dude,,, it’s literally just an alleyway.

I would pay
That's actually really cute for a single person except for the price tag. I love the original/Antique stuff.
I have to agree . I mean...if I randomly came into more money than I could ever need I'd buy this in a heartbeat. I think it's beautiful. I mean sure...I could buy a big mansion somewhere else, but why?
I live alone, and that's how I like it and even my two bedroom apartment seems wasteful sometimes. I sometimes sleep in the spare-bedroom just to get my money's worth.

For the amount of things in that apartment that still required fixing, updating, or further renovation it is unconscionable that someone would be charging $5 million for that property regardless of what human being lived in it at some point in time. 🤦♀️ Whoever buys this house should honestly get a smack upside the head.

Nothing needs fixed
What exactly has to be fixed, updated or renovated?
@Mordecai and Rigby yeah... we're totally mad because we can't afford it.. go buy a 5 million dollar coffin then
The seller isn't "charging" 5 million, he/she is "asking" 5 million. There is a difference, mainly in the fact that it will sell at whatever price a willing buyer and a willing seller agree upon. The other factor is whether there is anything else in the immediate area that can be bought for 5 mil or less.
why do i love it
Love it!!!!!
From Zillow as of 3/3/22: property taxes: $3293/mo, insurance: $1572/mo. So even if I pay $5M cash for it, I’m stuck paying $4865/mo for a house where I can’t fit a decent size bed? Beautiful remodeling but not worth it :/
Thanks for info
I was wondering about taxes
Yikes
This house is worth nothing. 5 million😂, the owner can keep dreaming
Obviously, the historical significance contributed to the high price of that flat, but I appreciate how well it utilized the available space.
Great video but we need to talk about something that's pretty cool and interesting even if it doesn't relate with the video, we all need to know as long as you're not dependent on just one source of income and you're financially free, money can do and command so many things, Having invested thousands of dollars in a reputable company, I have no doubts in the cryptocurrency market, with the right skills you will enter the market.
If you don't mind sharing, I think the market deserves the reward, and I know it's real, but how can it be?
Working with John Joseph has really changed my life a lot, there was a time when I almost stopped trading due to several losses, but he gave me a chance to invest with him, I was able to recoup all my loses and my profits keep coming thanks to his experience and strategies.
Wow, what a coincidence you also invested with John Joseph? this man really dominates the trading area and makes things easier for his investors, keep up the good work sir.
Hello, cryptocurrency is one of the best fast growing investments now, I am interested, how can I contact him please??

I loved this one, the outside are is awesome!
If the house now stands where a driveway for carriages used to be, I'm guessing the backyard probably had horse stables at one time. Fascinating to think how that space has changed as times have evolved.
In my English town, there's a house like that in almost every road. Some houses are even called The Stables.
See, you get it; that $5mil seems quite reasonable when you consider the history.
In europe there are tons and tons of homes like this that dont go for 5m
@@raphaelb5237 well, yeah, but the catch is ya gotta live in Europe! 😅
@@locomadman last time checked, history was useless
Imagine owning a 5 million dollar house yet you don’t even have your own private parking space. Not even for a tiny car. 😅
Its an historic townhouse
OF COURSE YOUR NOT GONNA HAVE PARKING!
Practically Nobody in New York has a car. Insurance is so expensive people actually use loan companies to pay for it.
@@Rainb0wzNstuff at 5 million dollars it better have it's own private garage.
Why would you ever need a car in a city with public transport.
Have you been to New York ? You do not need a car lol most people don’t have cars
I bet that neighbor has a lovely time when it’s bathtime 😉
makes more sense to have this as an airbnb
Why would anyone give that master bathroom for the guest room? The guest room is for sure the master room. Me personally, basement is living room/gaming room, first floor is kitchen/dinning room, second floor, master room/master bathroom and third floor, office/guest room. The guest room would be really nice for a day bed. That way can take nice naps in between working in your office. Either way its beautiful and unique place. The secret little garden just tops it off.
Why would anyone have their living room in their basement? Living room is the room you spend most of your time in, so you would like the biggest windows and most light there. Secondly, Europeans for instance are very hospitable and like to offer the most comforts for their guests.
@@katjuusa Americans usually have two living rooms in their homes. One is a formal living room to welcome guests and the other is a family room where they watch tv at night and play video games. I feel like the formal living room barely gets any use so naturally in a tiny place like this, it would get eliminated. I might be too Americanized by now but I wouldn’t care about offering my guest the best spot in the house lol (I’m European but I’ve lived in the US for 10 years now).
@@katjuusa I mean you typically wouldn't use a basement as a living room but in this situation I would. When you have 5-10 people over, do you all really wanna be in that little room? I personally think the basement would be way more comfortable as a living space but I like big a sectional couch that can fit like 4-6 people easily and nice reclining chairs. Besides what if you want to have guest over for dinner? Yall gonna sit in the living room to eat?
Who would spend 5 million dollars to be cramped and uncomfortable in that awkward apartment is the real question? There was nothing functional in the entire apartment!
@@shellybaby5th Well you can always walk by admire it from a distance, like most sane people. However to pay 5,000,000 dollars to live in that awkwardly designed place is not the best way to spend your money!
The reason this house is so expensive is because it’s a “historical landmark.” In New York City you could get a regular sized townhouse for the same price or cheaper.
It's also right at the heart of what is one of NYC's most expensive areas in a quaint street, in NYC that's gold and real estate is usually about location more than anything else.
Or a mansion in any other non dilapidated city lol New York is dead
@@Goingby20s this, it’s literally in Greenwich village, and it’s a landmark, no wonder they are charging out the arse
People who are not from New York don’t care and could find better use with $5 million elsewhere. I could go to Texas and have acres for 5 million.
@@adubw2016 true, I'm just explaining one of the factors that plays a role in the price (not saying they're not overasking), but some people think prices in Manhattan are all the same, when that's not the case, prices will change a lot based on neighborhoods and even based on street/location within a neighborhood.
Honestly I would live in this house so happy than in big house its true.😂❤😊
I could very comfortably live there. Its actually quite spacious and nicely done.
People have convinced themselves that living like this is okay.
That's the thing about NYC that I'll never understand. People actually want to live on top of one another, paying through the roof for barely any room in their tiny apartments, paying high tax rates, high costs of living, just for what? They enjoy living like that? I'll never understand why.
@@internetuser8371 not everyone wants to live in the boring suburbs
@@shaunmckenzie5509 i guess some people really do love living in homemade prisons
The people that don’t want to live that way move after a while.
@@harsh3948 I'd happily live in that 'prison', so I guess you're right
"Why would someone pay so much money to live in a shoebox?"
*realizes I'm living in a 1 room dorm with a roommate for way too much money*
Oh sweetheart, good thinking ,bNew York City would eat you live
Kind of just had the same realization while watching this video on my bunked bed in my dorm room with my roommate underneath me lmao
I'm paying over $1000 a month for a studio just outside downtown Allentown, PA. One room with a closed-off kitchen and a bathroom. I have two roommates but they're guinea pigs so it's okay. They do not contribute to the rent at all but they're cute.
Hmm…. Perhaps because he/ she Is a snob living on daddy’s trust fund who wants to impress so called “friends” throwing a daytime party (no sleep over unless hanging from the staircase or garden balcony) ?!
You aren't paying for the room, you're paying for the salaries and operations of Residence Life and their political bullsh*t.
The garden and greenery sold it for me
Well this is something original for sure
this apartment wins two guiness records, for being the most slimmest to being the most unprivate and easiest to rob
It's great for exhibitionists so they can take a bath in full view of the neighbor next door
Imagine going to NYC and being like “let’s go see the narrowest apartment in the city”
NYC truly is a magnet for people with no imagination.
I saw this apartment, on Apartment Therapy, when it was occupied; the lady that lived there had it decorated so cute and effective for the amount of space. It's doable but not for 5 mil! 😆
Hell yes. Thanks!
I'd live there but wouldn't pay 5 million, even if I had it, that's insane.
the floorplan is like my sims houses: makes no sense but works somehow
I could live there. In Steamboat Springs, Colorado I had a condo that was 10’ wide by 25’ long. I loved it!
this house is amazing
i love this home so much
