Sve je u lokaciji

Zgrada Endicott nalazi se na sjeverozapadnom uglu 81. ulice i avenije Columbus, točno nasuprot Američkom prirodoslovnom muzeju i parku Theodore Roosevelt, koji uključuje i zaseban prostor za pse, a samo jednu ulicu od Central Parka. Teško je zamisliti tipičniji ambijent Upper West Sidea.

Stan #524 krije nešto neočekivano: nalazite se u srcu Upper West Sidea, no čim zakoračite unutra, čini se kao da grad nestaje.

Ovaj stan s dvije spavaće sobe i 1,5 kupaonicom okrenut je od ulice i gleda na unutarnje dvorište zgrade. Tišina je takva da bi se čula igla kako pada — prava oaza u jednoj od najživljih četvrti Manhattana. Južna i zapadna orijentacija unose u stan obilje prekrasnog prirodnog svjetla tijekom cijelog dana.

Središnje mjesto zauzima prostrana dnevna soba s blagovaonicom, nalik loftu. Visoki stropovi, zidovi od izložene opeke i prekrasan funkcionalni kamin od opeke daju prostoru toplinu i poseban karakter. Ima dovoljno mjesta i za udobnu garnituru i za veliki blagovaonski stol, pa je stan jednako prikladan za druženja i svakodnevni život.

Velika otvorena kuhinja prirodno se povezuje s dnevnim boravkom i blagovaonicom, a drveni podovi i mnogo prostora za odlaganje dodatno upotpunjuju stan. Dvije prostrane spavaće sobe dijele isti iznimno miran ambijent, okrenut prema unutrašnjosti zgrade.

Pranje rublja ne može biti jednostavnije: perilica i sušilica nalaze se odmah iza ugla, na istom katu. Za one koji žele imati perilicu i sušilicu u stanu, njihova je ugradnja također dopuštena uz odobrenje uprave.

Endicott je zadruga u zgradi iz predratnog razdoblja, s predvorjem u kojem je osoblje prisutno 24 sata dnevno i nadstojnikom koji živi u zgradi. Izvorno je sagrađena na prijelazu iz 19. u 20. stoljeće kao hotel Endicott, a poslije ju je arhitekt Stephen B. Jacobs preoblikovao i modernizirao njezinih 144 stambenih jedinica, pritom sačuvavši karakter izvornog dizajna. Danas Endicott zadržava prepoznatljiv izgled zgrade iz predratnog razdoblja, s ukrašenim pročeljem od narančaste i bež opeke, istaknutim erkerima i ulazom s kolonadom koji odražavaju njezinu povijest. Lokacija je izvrsna: restorani, kafići i trgovine na aveniji Columbus nalaze se odmah pred vratima, autobusna linija M79 koja vozi poprečno preko grada staje preko puta, stanica podzemne željeznice za linije B i C nalazi se niz ulicu, a u blizini je i linija 1.

Kućni ljubimci i vlasništvo tipa pied-à-terre su dopušteni.

Za one koji žele biti usred svega, ali ne nužno i sve to slušati, stan #524 nudi osobito privlačnu kombinaciju: prostor, karakter, svjetlost i izniman mir na jednoj od najboljih lokacija Upper West Sidea. Naknada pri preprodaji iznosi 244 USD po dionici i plaća je prodavatelj.

It's all about the location

The Endicott sits at the northwest corner of 81st Street and Columbus Avenue, directly across from the American Museum of Natural History and Theodore Roosevelt Park, including its separate dog run, and just one block from Central Park. It is difficult to imagine a more quintessential Upper West Side setting.

There is something unexpected about #524: you are in the heart of the Upper West Side, yet once you step inside, the city seems to disappear.

Facing away from the street and overlooking the building's interior courtyard, this two-bedroom, 1.5 bathroom home is pin-drop quiet, a genuine oasis in one of Manhattan's most vibrant neighborhoods. South and western exposures bring lovely natural light into the apartment throughout the day.

The centerpiece is the spacious, loft-like living/dining room, where high ceilings, exposed brick walls and a beautiful working brick fireplace give the space warmth and true character. There is ample room for both generous seating and a large dining table, making this a home that works equally well for entertaining and everyday life.

The large open kitchen connects naturally to the living and dining areas, while hardwood floors and good closet space throughout further complement the apartment. There are two large bedrooms, with both sharing the same remarkably peaceful interior setting.

Laundry could hardly be more convenient: the washer and dryer are just around the corner on the same floor. For those who prefer laundry within the apartment, washer/dryers are also permitted with Board approval.

A prewar cooperative with a 24-hour attended lobby and live-in superintendent, the Endicott was originally built at the turn of the 20th century as the Hotel Endicott, and later reimagined by architect Stephen B. Jacobs, who modernized its 144 residences while preserving the character of the original design. Today, The Endicott retains a distinctive prewar presence, with an ornate orange and beige brick facade, projecting bay windows and a columned entrance that reflects its history. Perfectly located with Columbus Avenue's restaurants, cafés and shopping begin right outside your door, while the M79 crosstown bus stops across the street, the B/C subway is down the block, and the 1 train is also nearby.

Pets and pied-à-terre ownership are permitted.

For someone who wants to be in the middle of everything but doesn't necessarily want to hear it, #524 offers a particularly appealing combination: space, character, light and extraordinary quiet in one of the best locations on the Upper West Side. Flip tax amount equal to $244 per share, paid by seller.
