For so many years our home has been the backdrop to spilt drinks, popcorn in the sofa and various dogs,' Jill Lasersohn explains. 'But now the kids have left the nest and my husband Jack and I bought this Manhattan apartment, we can finally live like grown-up adults,' she says.
Jill arrived in New York City from the Midwest some 30 years ago and met Jack, a medical venture capitalist, not long after. They made their full-time home in the Hamptons but with their two daughters now grown up and living in the city, the couple decided it was time to invest in a pied-à-terre. 'We were visiting our girls and taking advantage of museums and shows so we wanted somewhere we could stay without having to bring a suitcase a hotel suite in the city. It's 600 square feet with one bedroom and one bathroom and we refer to it as our little jewel box,' Jill says.
