This Flatiron studio comes with a sleeping loft, but it'll cost you

Sleeping lofts aren ’t for everyone. Neither are $970,000 price tags (especially for studio apartments!). But if you don’t mind the former and can swing the latter, you might want to check out this 11th-floor unit at 254 Park Avenue South in the Flatiron District. The apartment measures just 506 square feet, but the 12- foot ceilings make the space seem larger than it actually is. The main living area has dark- hued oak flooring , an exposed brick wall and lights that are recessed into a beam running across the room. When you first enter the apartment, there’s an area that, as the place is currently staged, serves as a desk nook. Across from that is a small, retractable dining table pushed against the wall. Next is a living area, currently set up with a couch, coffee table, and TV. A brick divider partitions the main room, and is currently augmented by a striking bookcase/shelving unit. Oddly, the area on the other side of the divider currently has a bed in it, and there are no p...

BOAT TEST - Integrity 440 - Additional Integrity

Image
That this new, slightly larger boat closely follows the theme established by the 380 should be no surprise perhaps because the Integrity 380 Sedan is quite a success story. Widely acclaimed, it continues to sell very well indeed and will of course continue alongside its younger sibling. The numbers aren’t remarkable. The new Integrity 440 Sedan is all of 2.3 metres longer at 13.8 metres (LOA) to the 380’s 11.5. Beam has increased only200mm from 4.1 to 4.3 metres and while this doesn’t seem much on paper, for those familiar with the 380, how much more space there is inside the 440 comes as a surprise. In fact, the most profound change in the 440 Sedan has probably gone unnoticed. This would be the raising of the deck level to increase headroom “downstairs” in the two staterooms and the bathroom. Surprisingly, the 440’s overall height hasn’t increased significantly– which is an important point for people based somewhere like the Gold Coast where bridge clearance can certainly be an issue...

The Perfect Bath Day Trip Itinerary – Ideal for those on a Budget!

Perfect Bath Day Trip Itinerary " width="1024" height="768" /> The beautiful World Heritage city of Bath is one of England’s top highlights . Even if only you’re travelling in this country for a week or so, then you really can’t miss this stunning town situated in the country’s south west corner . Unbelievably, I hadn’t visited this gem in my home country, until this summer – 32 years in! With a trip to Bristol to see friends booked (read more about the best free things to do in Bristol here), Bath seemed like the perfect accessory , only 15 minutes away by train. But Bath certainly isn’t just a Bristol accessory, it’s very much a jewel in its own crown – in fact it’s amazing just how close and how different the 2 cities are. Bath is all glamour, while Bristol is all grit. Both are magnificent, it just depends what you’re into. And FYI: I’m into both!
