If you have about $1.6 million lying around and a hankering for the classically quirky innovation of the Victorian era, then this New York City apartment situated in Chelsea is your chrono-plasmatic cup of tea. The flat is 1,800+ square feet of zany Steampunk delight. The large kitchen rests under a LED glowing Zeppelin, a hidden bathroom behind cogs and pulleys, a bedroom underneath a silk greenhouse-frame, and a spacious 500 square foot terrace surrounded by green bamboo. The front door is an oxidized submarine hatch with a locking porthole from the inside as if it came right off Captain Nemo’s Nautilus. Feast your eyes on a literal living museum of a wondrous age gone by.

The Professor's Convatorium 
I wonder whether this impressive and uniquely decorated house has been sold. It was featured in the “Selling New York” series.

What a house. Makes me nostalgic for the adventures I dreamed of having when I read H.G. Wells, Jules Verne, Edgar Rice Burroughs and many others. I went through a sci-fi, sword and sorcery, and fantasy genres before burning out on each of these genres.

Yes, I’d love to have a home such as Bruce Rosenbaum’s Steampunk home or many others. Just from a socializing standpoint you have never-ending conversation starters, let alone the liberation of your guest’s imaginations! 😉
