Our panelists agree that this corner unit in a former print shop in Turtle Bay has great bones—fourteen-foot ceilings, banks of windows, and a view of the East River. But it’s been super-aggressively renovated, in a quasi-Tuscan idiom that will likely be a bit much for many Manhattan shoppers.

Darren Sukenik, Prudential Douglas Elliman: Sukenik says he’d hope for a “river buyer”—i.e., one who wants water views. But “the feeling and look, while hysterically attractive to those who get it,” won’t translate to most buyers: “It’s not Tuscany, it’s 46th Street.”
His assessment: $825,000.
Garret Price Lepaw, Corcoran: “I like the texture of the cement floors, but the rustic feeling is too rustic—it’s run-down. None of the light sockets have covers—was that deliberate?” He also wondered about the “smallish” living area. “It’s going to be a tough sell unless you get that one person who falls in love with it,” he predicts.
His assessment: $785,000.
Ben Lieblein, Nest Seekers International: “It’s on a high floor, bright, with decent views, [but] the layout isn’t that great. You walk in and you can see the whole apartment right away,” says Lieblein, who also took issue with the high monthly fees. “The looks aren’t unfixable, but the maintenance is.”
His assessment: $775,000.
