barbie had a dream house - now you can too!

My fellow New Yorkers surely remember that doctor pig who blew it out (and up) last month when his townhouse exploded. Well if anyone is in the market for some prime real estate, the lot where that townhouse once stood, is up for grabs. So if you've ever dreamed of living a stone's throw from Hermès (62nd Street between Madison and Park), it can be yours for a cool $8 million.

I don't think I know anyone under the age of 40 with that kind of cash lying around, but if you're interested or at least morbidly curious, check out the exclusive Brown Harris Stevens listing. It may just be me, but describing this as a dream house is a tad strange -

Seize this opportunity to build your dream house ! This 20 x 100.42 ft. lot is located on Manhattan's "Gold Coast". It is on 62nd Street between Madison and Park Avenue, a quiet, lovely tree lined street in New York City's 'Upper East side Historic District'.
