Manhattan Luxury
The modern interior of
DSK's rented townhouse
contrasts with the un-
assuming exterior.
The rent for the 6,800
sq. ft. home was a reported
$50,000 per month.

|
The exterior
With all the media hoopla
tourists and journalists
alike rushed to take a
look at DSK's new digs
in lower Manhattan,
where he moved after
being released from
Ricker's Island prison.
The old brick exterior
does not betray the
luxurious modern style
inside.
|
|
Spacious bedroom
Such spaciousness in a bedroom
is uncommon (and very pricey)
in Manhattan.
The furnished townhouse
is located on Franklin
Street in Tribeka.
|
|
Skylight in Manhattan
The living room of the
furnished rental townhouse
on Frankin Street has a
large skylight, another
rarity in Manhattan.
|
|
Small but nice
Not a cook's kitchen,
but modern, state of
the art, with all the
contemporary design
touches.
|
|
Dining by the Kitchen
The dining area follows
the modern, simple style
of the rest of the house,
with emphasis on quality
materials and design.
|
|
Nice bathroom
This master bath reminds of
of a hotel suite, no doubt
like the one from where DSK
allegedly came out naked
and attempted to rape the
maid.
|
|
Bring in the pop corn
What would house arrest be
like without a movie theater
in the basement?
|
|
Another nice master bath
|
|
Another view of the living room
The excellent skylight, and
a fireplace, of course..
|
|
Roof terrace
All prisoners are entitled
to time in the outdoors.
This terrace, rare in
Manhattan, lets DSK
enjoy the outdoors, away
from prying eyes.
|
|
Bar
A bar under the stairs.
In the basement, with a
view of the media room.
|
|
Master bedroom
This luxurious master suite
surely beats the one at the
Sofitel Hotel in New York,
where Mr. Strauss-Khan was
alleged to have attempted
to rape the hotel housekeeper.
