At least you can easily wash up before cooking dinner.
A tiny, yet pricey studio apartment in Manhattan’s Nolita neighborhood has gone viral online for its bizarre layout that includes a claustrophobic, and seemingly unfinished, shower that stands right next to its mini-kitchen space. No door, no curtain — step out of the shower and you’ll be right in front of the refrigerator to grab a snack.
The unit on Elizabeth Street — listed for $3,495 — was roasted on Instagram earlier this week by the @ocr_realty account, which has some 55,000 followers. The video’s caption reads, “Is this the worst layout you’ve ever seen??”
Said sad shower is also mere steps from the front door and enclosed only by glass brick. Adding insult to injury, one of its brazen walls is half made up of dirty and unfinished tile, as seen in the clip, which received more than 46,000 shares.
Along with it being perched right next to the apartment’s kitchen space, the shower is also next to a small room that only has a toilet: “no mirror, no sink, no lights,” says the video’s narrator.
“Just your toilet and a window.”
Next, the video heads past the kitchen into the studio space, which seems to have enough room for a bed — and, in the rear, a closet for storage.
As for the nearby kitchen, it, too, looks unusual. Its stove faces the living space and it has a simple small countertop between that and the fridge.
Of course, Instagram users chimed in.
“This should be illegal,” one user commented on the viral Instagram video. “There must be a psychiatrist as the landlord and they clearly want to study someone who would pay that absurd price for a s–thole,” said another.
“Why do people want to live in new york,” said another, with another adding, “$3495 is the cost to purchase right?”
The StreetEasy listing history shows this apartment last rented in 2020 for about $2,100 per month. The listing, though brief, says the home has high ceilings, exposed brick, hardwood floors — and is conveniently located near prime dining and shopping options.
Agent Claire Kane of Real New York, one of three agents representing this listing, did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.
