Description: APARTMENTMAN/HarvardBusinessSchoolWinsAwardAsUgliestBuildingInWorld! <br /> <br /> Heat and hot water are included in the rent. <br /> <br />Asked to speak at the ribbon cutting for the new dorms/ rooms constructed on the Harvard Business School campus, APARTMENTMAN slowly descends from the skies to the podium. Sitting among the assembled leaders of Harvard, our hero of homeseeker feels a slight twinge as he looks at the structure before him. As he sits there, speaker after speaker applauds the beauty, creativity, and utility of the structure. 'Only at Harvard with the best and most creative minds in the world could a structure like this be created announces the speaker. Then, without warning, APARTMENTMAN hears his name as the speaker announces that he will now turn over the podium to A-Man to present his thoughts on the breathtaking edifice before them . Slowly rising, A-Man approaches the podium. Turning to the speaker A-Man mutters 'are you sure you want my opinion on this ?' ' Why of coarse comes the reply ? Don't they have professors teaching architectural design at Harvard ? ' Why yes we have some of the most creative architectural minds in the world comes the smug reply.' <br /> <br /> ' Well actually it's a pretty ugly building. <br /> <br /> ' Excuse me. ' <br /> <br /> ' Well with all the money and all the creative minds I would think you could have done better than something that looks like a brown letter T that fell over on its side with a lot of holes drilled in it.' <br /> <br /> 'You understand that this was designed by our new school of avant guard architects who are forging new ground in the design of maximum cost effective urban space utilization.' <br /> <br /> ' Sounds like you want to put as many people in as little space as possible to make as much money as you can. Kind of like mice in a box.' <br /> <br /> 'Well, each room takes maximum advantage of a technological interface which allows the optimum utilization of human space in light of the business schools market analysis of maximum financial recovery relative to cost. ' <br /> <br /> ' HUH, well, maybe the business school has figured out maximum financial recovery, (Is that the same as making the most money you can ?) but its still pretty ugly. ' Thanks for letting me speak but if you don't mind I have to go look at a new apartment.' <br /> <br /> 'No I don't mind at all. ' LOUD SIGH: <br /> <br /> <br />DIMENSIONS/ DESCRIPTION OF APARTMENT <br />Actually this apartment is a really great deal since it is much more than a studio w/alcove. It could be viewed as a one bedroom which would make this the least expensive 1 bedroom in Coolidge Corner. It is on the second floor rear of the building and faces east so it gets morning sun. The foyer (next time I may try calling this a vestibule) measures 13 ft x 6 ft. To the right is the bedroom/ sleeping area which measures 10 ft x 12 ft. The bedroom opens into the living room which measures 15 ft x 12.5 ft . What divides the bedroom from the living room are two glass doors which open and close. You can call them French Doors if you like since that would be consistant with calling the entrance a foyer. The kitchen measures 10 ft x 6 ft and has all new cabinets and counters. Two closets (One huge closet and a smaller closet) The bathroom is either a 'charming old world tiled bathroom' if you're in the real estate business, or just a regular old bathroom if you believe in normal English language. In any event this is a really nice apt. Call or email to see.
