Lovers of the rubik's cube decade will be drawn to this Technicolor dream apartment, with its purple walls, mirrored ceilings, and, uh, period furniture. Curiously enough, Queen frontman Freddie Mercury kept an apartment in this NYC co-op back in the day, but all traces of his "floor-to-ceiling mirrors and silvery satin walls" have been replaced by white and beige. Luckily (for our purposes) this place is still keeping the faith, but who knows how much longer this oddity will be kept in vintage condition. The one bedroom, 2.5 bath pad is on the market for $2.495M. Click on over to Curbed NY for more eye-popping photos.
