There's a Cottage Hiding Above This NYC Penthouse

Corcoran
When it comes to living in New York City, any amount of outdoor space is a major score. But when that outdoor space is a rooftop includes a storybook cottage? Well, where the heck do we sign?

And this home is completely real: Nestled between the East Village and Union Square in Manhattan, and a certain penthouse apartment features an adorable tiny-house lookalike on the roof. According toCurbed, the cottage-like exterior makes up the top floor of the unit at203 East 13th Street, and in a city where cottages are generally unheard of, it's no surprise the home didn't last long on the market.

Just 19 days after the three-bedroom, three-bathroom, two-terrace abode was listed for $.4 million, it has entered into contract. 

We're sorry that it can no longer be yours, but the pictures of the breathtaking space certainly inspire. Plus, there has to be another rooftop cottage hidden somewhere, right?

The Only 8 Bar Accessories You Really Need

Image
Getty Considering exactly how to stock your bar can really open up a can of worms. Do you buy separate glasses for red wine, white wine, and champagne? Do you really need those (super cute) Moscow mule mugs? Which cocktail utensils are essential? And what the heck to do they all do? We turned to Laurén LaRocca, one half of the party planning, lifestyle blogging duo Twink + Sis, to find out which accessories you really need. Here's what she recommends: 1. A Cocktail Shaker "Freshly crafted cocktails are truly unparalleled and they really do have a special quality when shaken. It's actually remarkable! Even if you shook up some lemon juice, vodka and simple syrup in a shaker, you'd have a better cocktail than what's served in most bars. Though some shakers are works of art, even the most basic of shakers work great and are relatively inexpensive." 2. A Double Sided Jigger "The key to efficiently making cocktails (that are also consistent in taste) req

Spooky Caverns Lie Beneath This Unassuming Castle

Patricia Chang Bill Gilbert never imagined he'd own the castle all his friends thought was haunted when he was a kid. Clearly, life doesn't always turn out how you expect, because he bought the 145-year-old stone structure known as the Albion Castle back in 2012. While he luckily hasn't run into any ghost occupants, he has gone to great lengths to restore the home to its original glory. Curbed has the full story on the renovation (and the dreamy shots of the eclectic interior — we're talking natural wood and stone combined with lots of bohemian accents).  Patricia Chang But here's the historical nugget we found most intriguing : Back in 1870 two British brothers stumbled upon a natural spring in San Francisco. Inspired by Norman castles, they decided to use the fresh water  to produce beer and built the Albion Ale and Porter Brewery right on top of the spring.  Eventually, the company went out of business and the structure has since had several different owners (i
