Introducing the Upper East Side’s New CORE
In celebration of CORE’s new Madison Avenue office, our good friends at The New York Observer hosted a night of mingling, good food, and outstanding conversation last Wednesday at Rouge Tomate.  The New York Observer was also celebrating the launch of their new lifestyle section “NYO”, with guests of the party getting a first look at the new publication.  Guests included CORE brokers and staff, industry professionals, developers, architects, members of the media, and other invited guests.

Living Large:  A Townhouse in the Sky
Adrian Noriega’s penthouse listing at 15 West 20^th Street was the highlight of last week’s “Living Large” segment with Emily Smith.  The Flatiron District home, equipped with over 2,000 square-feet of terrace space, private elevator access, and several other upgraded amenities, represents the best in luxury city living.

Our most popular penthouse was back on the small screen last night, as CBS’s Emily Smith took a tour of the A Building duplex that comes complete with an indoor slide for her Living Large series. CORE’s Lindsee Silverstein, who shares the $3,990,000 listing with Elizabeth Kee, showed Smith around the unique and modern 2,400 square foot space, and then everyone took a spin down the slide — resulting in at least one blooper. Check out the full video below.

We don’t often make it out to New Jersey, but when we do, it’s for something truly special, like this French-inspired mansion in an exclusive enclave within the Garden State. CORE’s Michael Graves has the listing for the newly constructed $19 million Saddle River estate, which features a 5-bedroom, 25,000-square-foot Corinthian stone manor on 4.4 beautiful acres of land. The mansion’s features and amenities — including a pair of double parking garages, a USTA grade tennis court and an indoor pool — are too lengthy to list here, but luckily CBS 2 reporter Emily Smith toured the property for a “Living Large” segment that aired last night. Check out the video below for a peek inside the palace:

“Bow tie”
New York Post
Now that the north side of the Bowery has been transformed from gritty to glam, the southern portion of the Bowery is on developers’ radars. CORE’s Tony Sargent spoke to the Post about the state of the Bowery market below Houston Street, and the offers he’s fielding on his great two-bedroom listing at 195 Bowery, pictured at right.

“On the Market”
New York Times
Maggie Kent’s listing at 200 East 16th Street in Gramercy, a one-bedroom, one-bath with a built-in office nook in a prewar doorman building, is praised by the Times for its park views and recent renovations.

“Living Large: 240 Park Avenue South”
CBS
As we mentioned last week, the stunning 5-bedroom apartment on Park Avenue South listed by Michael Graves was the subject of a “Living Large” segment on CBS New York. Check out the piece for a great video tour of the 3,700-square-foot spread.

“The Real Estate Artists”
Avenue
CORE CEO Shaun Osher and Managing Director Tom Postilio are featured in Avenue magazine’s silent-film-inspired photo spread on New York’s leading real estate stars.

CBS 2’s Emily Smith brought the “Living Large” cameras to the incredible 5-bedroom apartment at 240 Park Avenue South listed by CORE’s Michael Graves, a 3,700-square-foot condo unit with a curved wall of windows that encompasses the entire eastern wing of the building. Check out the video above to get an inside look at one of New York’s best chef’s kitchens, and a whole lot more!

“There are things in this home which you will never see in a New York City home,” Evelyn McMurray Van-Zeller says of her townhouse in the above clip from LXTV’s Open House, and she’s right: Manhattan homeowners don’t usually drop swimming pools into their living rooms. The 5,000-square-foot house at 232 West 15th Street–listed by CORE’s Maggie Kent and David Grossmann–is certainly one of the most unique properties in Chelsea (which is probably why the television cameras can’t resist it), but it’s not the only one-of-a-kind residence in the ‘hood.

You’ve heard of a swim-up bar, but what about a swim-up living room? It exists at 232 West 15th Street, an incredible 22.5-foot-wide Chelsea townhouse that boasts one of New York’s most unique amenities: An indoor swimming pool that’s eight feet deep and kitchen adjacent. CBS 2’s Emily Smith met up with CORE’s Maggie Kent and the house’s owner for a Living Large tour of the 5,000-square-foot property, which is on the market for $10.995 million—pool boy not included. Check out the video above for a look inside this amazing home.
