Oh sure, a truck with a waterfall in the back is enchanting and lovely and everything, but it'll disappear as soon as Banksy blows this continent in a few weeks. But a waterfall in your apartment is forever. And now is your chance to get in on one, if you happen to have $39 million or so lying around.
The Waterfall Mansion—so named thanks to the standing 23-foot-high cascading waterfall and pond in it—is back on the market, according to the Post. Located at 170 E. 80th Street on the Upper East Side, the 10,800-square-foot townhouse covers five floors, and also includes a gallery space, a garden off the master suite, and a 1,000-bottle wine cellar.
As Curbed notes, it had gone down in price to as low as $27 million before being taken this past June. At these prices, you might be better off investing a Scottish Castle—although who hasn't dreamed of living with a waterfall? Well, we suppose that depends on the kind of waterfall.
