every single piece of furniture in the living room looks uncomfortable.

Well yeah, you don't live there. You just own it.

$4million for an apartment in Philly.

Lmao get fucked.

I like a lot about it, but if I got it there'd be a whole lot of painting happening.

It would also be my death house, because one day I would absolutely trip on something and open up my guts on the tip of that room divider top.

I don't like the design at all. Feels cold and sterile. Not that it matters. I couldn't afford the apartment cost but seriously fuck off with any HOA and especially an HOA with that much of a monthly fee.

Too many angles .

Feels like a John Wick shootout scene.

looks like the kind of house Alex DeLarge and his droogs would break into and burglarize and cause untold mayhem in

It's Rittenhouse Square. Not intended to be your sole home or lived in year-round.

Are all rich people voyeurs or something why is there always a tub in a glass room everyone can see in

No one's mentioned the bathroom with a glass wall? (Edit: I was ninja'd on this one) Or the other bathroom which can only be accessed through the walk-in closet which can only be accessed through the same bedroom that has the glass-wall shitter?

In fact, why does this place have twice the number of bathrooms that it does bedrooms? And why does the master bedroom have two different office workspaces? It's like they just threw a bed into a living room given how much of the place you access through it.

That orange chair in the master bedroom is not something anyone is actually sitting in, it's so sunken in the sea that your knees would be higher than your lap.

There's also the oven which sits so close to a wall that I'm pretty sure you can't stand in front of it and open it at the same time, though I'll admit that might be the camera fucking with the scale of things.

From the books, I guess this person's majorly into art and I think they should stop. At first I didn't know what was worse: the deflated Nickelodeon logo in the living room or the painting of the balloon nailed to the wall resulting in an unmistakably phallic demeanor. But the painting ultimately won out when I noticed it's hung up by a giant novelty thumbtack and that it's inexplicably titled/labeled Balloon Dog Orange. I suppose this is some kind of reference to a famous sculpture of the same name which is literally an orange balloon animal made out of metal - I saw a book on him somewhere in there - but I don't get the reference.

Three funny things that aren't actually the fault of the architecture.

One is that the guy who owns it is a urology professor. That makes it understandable but no less funny that he had two big-ass books titled Incontinence.

The second is that I think they accidentally left a bar of soap on the floor beneath the counter in the closet bathroom.

The third is that they're apparently brushing their teeth in the laundry room and not in one of the three full bathrooms. There's a half-used bottle of Listerine in there. Maybe also their dishes given the Dawn on the counter, but I suppose that could be used on laundry.

I've looked at a couple other walkthroughs of rich folk houses and they've all had just absolutely bizarre fucking layouts where you have to go through someone's bedroom or something to get to another section of the house. The last one I remember you had to go through a bedroom and a fucking giant bathroom - with one little closed off toilet in a glorified closet - to get to a home gym.

I feel like your color blindness is messing with your brain

Oh, I read through the description and I feel like this is one place that kind of justifies the "HOA" fee? It's an apartment in a five-star hotel with a gym, pool, and a spa. You also have two high-class restaurants and a bar in the building. You also get discounted access to hotel services like room service and housekeeping.

If you can afford to live in a place like that, 4k a month is probably peanuts.
