Someone Built a Secret Off-Grid Cabin in New York City… 

I agree. For 15k, there should already be a washer and dryer in the apartment.

All the live edge wood is amazing... This is one of the best apartments with a rustic vibe that you have shown Cash! Definitely different than what you have shown ever before. I am impressed!

So I had to look this place up, I used to live in that area. A guy named Charles Fitzgerald owned that building (don't know if he still does, he may have passed away by now. He would be about 88) But back in the 90s he had a huge store called Bowl and Board that sold all hand made wood items. Later he made his store smaller and called it In the woods and rented the other half of it to the Japanese restaurant. The article I just skimmed said he was closing his store in 2005. At that time he still owned this building but lived in another he owned across the street. He wanted to rent out his remaining small store and buy a land in Maine. He could make over 3 times in rent than what his little wood store was bringing in. Anyway I would assume he is responsible for this beautiful and huge wood filled cabin apartment. He would have created this between 1959 and 2005. I believe he last used it as storage and office space. Fun fact he rented his original store for $28 a month before he bought the building. Edit: I just noticed Valentinas interesting comment on more of the history of this building. Very cool.

I think that's seriously 1 of the most unique places we've seen so far. Definitely NOT cookie cutter. $15K tho? Yes it's big but...& you have to buy your own washer & dryer? I love the fireplaces but it's almost too much with all the wood & makes it look very dark. I know someone who will love the wood floors!!

For $15k a month they should supply the washer and dryer 🙄

This is not just an apartment. It is a refuge. Love the feeling of quietude.

It's really different and huge but it's only has two bedrooms. The price is outrageous. It probably cost a fortune to heat up and in the summer it cost a lot to cool down. It's not 15,000! a month caliber.

Hey Cash, when that guy said "cabin" he wasn't kidding! That is very much like a log cabin in the middle of the asphalt jungle. All you need is a little stream outside for fishing and a mule named Walter. Love all that space.

A cabin in NYC, amazing! Has to be your most unusual apartment so far. So big I would not be able to fill it but I would have fun trying that's for sure.

If you ever plan to stay in St Marks Hotel please be aware they only accept cash. When you arrive for your stay you are asked to pay upfront and told that they don't accept credit cards.

Someone created this as a labor of love. It's intoxicatingly beautiful....

"What's a bread maker?" "Who sits at a dining table?" How old is that guy? 😆

The rustic vibe doesn't look like it's worth $15k. Despite big windows, the place is gloomy. $15k gets a lot of space in luxury buildings. At this price point, it's a hard pass for almost everyone.

I would still pit a dining table by the kitchen. It would be great to😅 host dinner parties, have game night, wrap gifts, holiday dinners, etc. I would use some of the space as a home office. The yard needs some ean up work with the plants, and more furniture. A pack on a stand, some big lounge chairs, a fire pit, and a nice grill. I would also put some kind of canapy for privacy and protection from the sun. Some of the plants would have to go. An outdoor swing would be nice too.

I love the kitchen!! That counter is amazing! I would redo the appliances and add pendants lights above the counter. I would most definitely do a dining room table it’s plenty big enough. All of the wood is rustic and beautiful.. I would have to try to figure out a different area or workaround for the washer and dryer.. it’s a beautiful place, but 2 bedroom 1 bath for $15k/month is super expensive..But welcome to the NYC! ❤ Thanks Cash still a great listing for those who could afford it! :)

It’s gorgeous. But for 15k a month, the appliances should be top of the line and include a washer/dryer

This is really unique. A log cabin type unit in the heart of NY City.

I feel like for $15k a month there should be top of the line appliances and some more other upgrades. This place is screaming staging to actually see how it could become an actual living space. Right now it’s just a huge dank, dark overpriced hole. And the stairs aren’t for me or a lot of people out there. My favorite room was the smaller bedroom pretty much. Thanks Cash for another interesting showing this one shall be named “The Dark Cabin in NYC” spooky 👻

Kinda surprised that there's only one bathroom.

Wow! This place is amazing! It's more of a mansion cabin. It's absolutely beautiful! This would be my dream home if I was mega rich. 😁💜

Yikes $15k for a lot of open space and no real rooms. Very dated kitchen and tiny little bath with no W/D installed. (presume stacked units). You can do better for even $10K a month. Must be freezing in winter with no walls and sketchy heating.

A place with PERSONALITY - a breath of fresh air. Love it!

That’s is one of the most unique city apartments. Love it

Total KO! The apartment is not only huge and unique, it's in one of the very best neighborhoods in the city.

I love seeing the abundance of Japanese food! There's very little Japanese presence in my city so we have hardly any Japanese restaurants

What a unique apartment. It’s like a home plucked from Vermont and inserted in Manhattan.

One of my favorite places you've ever shown. The woodwork is simply stunning and the working fireplaces are a dream come true. So much history and beauty!

Truly a beautiful "cabin". I love old buildings! Such a charm; looks like a place out of the hills of TN! Beautiful everything and so large, but cozy with all the wood. Definitely a work at home environment, with lots of options. Fireplaces, outdoor area, laundry etc. Plenty of eateries in the area. Very special place! 👍❤️

More of this kind of place please.

It’s a log cabin in the city. Love it!

Definitely unique... For a New York City type apartment... If I could afford it..and looking for a place..I would highly consider living in a place like that🙏🏽🤞🏾😉

St Marks place is one of those neighborhoods that you’d want to visit once in a while but never want to live in. This place is a pain to walk through when it’s busy, just imagine living in all that chaos🤦‍♂️

Awesome apartment today!

Very cool and unique for NYC. Yin-Yang. One of my favorites.

Wow! That one left me breathless, awesome modernization of the tenement. Stunning craftsmanship with regard to the history of that building .

All that wood paneling! I love it. My house is about the same square footage as this apartment!

Cash, great composition- content is King-Beautiful property- Excellent job. Keep going!☮️👏👏👏👏

If the power ever goes out, there is enough wood inside the apartment to keep you going for a month or two.

Love this place. Remindse of the cabin I lived in at South Lake Tahoe I remember we paid 165 dollars a month for a three bedroom 1 bath. Right off the beach. This would be a great place for the plant guy. Lots of plants could be grown there. See ya

This is the best apartment you have shown, all the others are so sterile.. I could actually love living in this one.. Could have a great studio in the "living room".. I have not seen any you have shown I would want to live in, but this one is a big yes.. And the neighborhood is really cool...

They should turn this apartment back into the Canadian themed 1980s style disco bar it used to be. A little slice of Quebec après-ski right in the middle of NYC.

I like everything in this big space including the beautiful counter top in the kitchen, really nice but I would change the wood on the wall that is above the stove, that whole wall to a nice tiled backsplash. Beautiful place!

This has to be one of the coolest apartments you’ve shown us so far Cash. To bad I can’t afford it. 😂🤣😂 But what’s with that dinky refrigerator?

Looks interesting already

Awesome job Jordan see you tomorrow

That was unexpected and kind of cool.

That brick and wood is so nice.

I WANT TO LIVE THERE! Great neighborhood. Very unique apt

The coolest place in town!! Love it.

I'm in love with that apartment. And I think I would never leave the street. And imagine taking delivery on really cold or sick hot days.

I love this one! Of course I'm from Utah. Cabin feels like home.

The cabin, glorious. Very woody but I love it. 15,000 is so much though

Hi Cash and to your friend wow I like this unique looking off grid secret and private apartment in Greenwich Village. Stay well and safe 👍☘️

Wow! This place is absolutely amazing! 😮

i LOVE the wood! I can’t wait to see this one!!

Now thats my style!! That is stunning!,

This is Gonna b Really Good CJ🔥🔥🔥👍n Happy Tuesday😀….

I love this place. Way too much for rent, but it is huge, and in NYC. I could survive in a place like that.

Whooooaaa! One of your better ones, Cash, even tho' it is hella expensive - I could just imagine my books along that big brick wall - ah, a girl can dream.... nice one Cash.

This is such a beautiful place. And I’m usually not into cabin style but I can appreciate the craftsmanship. I was just in this neighborhood last month w my daughter. She likes a Asian variety store that sells hard to find items.

The wood is just great. Thanks Cash.

Love the NYC Cabin. Only downfall is that tiny fridge in such a big place, otherwise, awesome!

❤️WaW❤️!!! Bellissimo!!!!! 😘Un bacio dall'Italia 😊💖😊

Nice apartment. Love all the space and the staircase.

I'm a yoga practitioner, if I had the income, the yoga studio would sell me on the place.

Beyond Amazing!

That was interesting to see. Excellent thumbnail 👌

What a wonderful place,, SO much character!

Since of humor is needed when dealing with cash. Just saying, Charles knows the banter and jokes.

loving this one!

WOW! I love it!

I LOVE this one !

I absolutely LOVE this place.

Cash- love the 3-D still photos for your posts! Have no idea how you do that?!

Oooh. That cabin type place is kick ass! If I could live there, I might be able to tolerate NYC. Lol. Freaking cool. Plenty of room for skating and yoga. 😊

Quite unusual for an apartment in Manhattan. Seems cozy looking but in reality I bet you those stone walls everywhere probably makes it feel very dank and cold. Not quite sure how any heating would be sufficient for that and I don't think I would like to smell the creosote that's all collected around the fireplace walls. Other than that it's really spacious in unique and I would really like something like that.

Another great video showing an amazingly ridiculously expensive apartment for the super rich. But why would the very wealthy want to live in a strange, dark place above restaurants and the little visitors who are bound to make their presence frequently felt? … I guess it would be for the very eccentric, very successful artist type … or a would-be Bohemian trust fund baby.

Super cool. I love it

Mamoun"s Falafel is amazing, I used to go to their New Haven place all the time back in the day.

I really love that apartment so comfortable warm I love it❤

My favorite of all time!

very cozy place.. but huge.. not surprised on the price!

That thumbnail!!!

Happy Tuesday Cash ❤

10:58 ... one of the best apartments I've seen... beautiful

Wow that's cool. Big enough for gym or private club. St Mark's St The first pnumatic subway. The Electric Circus back in the 60s'. And that subway exploding due to a gas leak. I remember no one was hurt as it happened at dinner time.

he seems to think the woodyness is old, and the joinery is so bad. Tacky $15k DIY mess.

Stunning

This is my favorite ! I would love to live there. So Cosy , and I always need a fireplace.

I'm not a city guy, and I thrive best at the seam between suburbs and farmland, but I would live in this apartment at that location in a heartbeat.

I could just imagine telling people that I live in a cabin in Manhattan and that's all I'd be able to do because I couldn't afford the rent. LOL! It's a beautiful, unique place, though!

it actually has a lot charm to this place, I wouldn't mind living in it.

Very interesting place. Not sure why a family would want to live on St. Marks or want a log cabin feel but it is very well done. It’s a hard sell but I imagine someone will take it, probably at a discount

amazing!

I wish NYC would build one of their above ground light rail tracks to connect Dead Horse bay which an abandoned 19th century landfill in order to redevelop it to make NYC more accessible.

Now Cash is putting off grid into the titles of his videos. Getting all the hot keywords to troll us. That place is huge! If you can afford that, you're winning in life.

I’d want a more modern kitchen and bathroom if I were paying that much rent

Cash! You and your good water pressure!

wow, i used to live on St. Marks back in the 70's. Great street ... 🎉

If someone is a Seattle transplant this place would keep him from being homesick. Lovely and a real refuge.
