ClockTower apartment: death trap for cuties?

We’re not saying this just because our name is Brokelyn and we’re constitutionally required to dump on anything that costs $25 million. But like all other real-estate pervs in Brooklyn, we couldn’t help clicking through to the ClockTower web site this morning when we saw it today on Brownstoner. This four-story apartment, at 1 Main St. in Dumbo, is so fancy it even has its very own web site! Others may fixate on the floor-to-ceiling clocks, or the Gaggenau appliances, but here’s what caught our eye: the staircases.

Don’t they look just the slightest bit kid-unfriendly? From the looks of things—and we haven’t had our personal tour yet so don’t base your buy/don’t buy decision solely on us—there are so many places for a kid to take a two-story tumble between the stairs or over the railings that you might need a million bucks worth of baby gates to keep anyone under 5 alive in this joint. But we’d still go to an Amy Sohn reading there.

   KID unfriendly? I’m twenty seven, and I’d die if I tried to navigate those. (espesh in heels and/or drunk.)

   You see kid unfriendly, I see dog unfriendly. FER SURE, my dog would go flying through those stairs and crack his cute ass little head open.
