The narrow refrigerator in the corner seems a bit awkward and appliances do change in size over the years. A replacement might require alterations. The proximity to the frequent #7 train might prove annoying.
Curious photo-shopping…Those subway/”el” cars look nothing like any rolling stock on the ‘7’-train…or anywhere else in NYC Transit for that matter.
Rendering illustrators, many workibg at farmed-out overseas visual production companies, have no clie about these things, they just drop something that looks like the right train. I’ve seen many times on this site renderings of NYC developments with Chicago L or LIRR cars on the elevated subway tracks. It’s kind of funny actually. Plus there’s always a sexy Euro bus somewhere too.
