Yes, 48 Bond is wonky. In a very Switch Building sort of way. But on a block that is also home to the truly insane 40 Bond, wonky is downright homely. Which may be why we're slightly underwhelmed by what should be exciting news: 48 Bond's ninth-floor penthouse has been put on the market for a respectable $5.25 million. Now don't get us wrong. We enjoy the pleasure of the full-floor apartment's company?including the off-kitchen balcony for dining al fresco?it's just that we don't quite want to hump its leg. Tough crowd.
