Isa itong pambihirang pagkakataon na makabili ng isang 1,500-square-foot na kalahating floor-through na prewar gem sa hinahangad na “Gold Coast” ng Lower Fifth Avenue—ang lugar kung saan nagtatagpo ang mga klasikong brownstone, kilalang restawran, mga boutique na tindahan, at kaginhawaan sa araw-araw. Isama ang inyong arkitekto at gawing kahanga-hangang canvas ang espasyong ito—may 10-talampakang kisame, tatlong panig na tinatamaan ng sikat ng araw, dalawang fireplace na gumagamit ng kahoy, mga sahig na Belgian oak na may chevron pattern mula pa noong ika-18 siglo, at orihinal na mga molding sa buong unit—upang lumikha ng sarili ninyong napakamodernong tahanan sa loob ng makasaysayang gusaling ito.

Sa kasalukuyan, nakaayos ito bilang dalawang silid-tulugan, isang pormal na silid-kainan, at isang study. Dahil sa maluluwang na sukat ng unit, maraming posibleng layout na maaaring iangkop sa inyong mga pangangailangan. Maaari ninyong isipin ang isang mararangyang pangunahing suite na may fireplace, walk-in closet, at ensuite na banyo na may sapat na espasyo para sa isang kapansin-pansing freestanding bathtub. Magdagdag ng dalawa pang silid-tulugan—tatlo lahat—at magkakaroon pa rin ng sapat na espasyo para sa full-sized na kusina at maluwang na living at dining area para sa lahat ng inyong pagpapahinga at pagtanggap ng mga bisita. Para sa mamimiling mataas ang pamantayan at matalas ang mata sa detalye, tunay na kapanapanabik ang mga posibilidad.

Itinayo noong 1882 ni Ralph Townsend, ang The Portsmouth ay isa sa dalawang magkambal na gusaling istilong Queen Anne sa West 9th Street na napapalibutan ng mga puno, sa kanluran lamang ng 5th Avenue—bahagi ng isang hinahangad na cooperative na kung minsan ay tinatawag na “Downtown Dakota.” May full-time doorman, full-time building superintendent, bike room, package room, mga elevator na na-update, mga lobby na inayos at ibinalik sa dating anyo, laundry room, at storage sa basement. Pinapayagan ng gusali ang co-purchase, pied-à-terre, mga alagang hayop, washer/dryer, at central air conditioning, pati financing na hanggang 80%. Paalala: Ang 1% flip tax ay babayaran ng nagbebenta.
