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.

Faye :Faye Penn is the founder of Brokelyn and publisher of the Brooklyn and Queens Beer Books, the Brooklyn Cocktail Book and other stuff you ain't seen yet. She lives in Ditmas Park. Get at her at brokelyn@gmail.com

  • 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.
