NYUMBA SIYO NYUMBANI. Tumeelezwa hivi mara nyingi kabla. Nyumba zinajengwa, na nyumbani zinaundwa. Inahitaji maono, mapenzi, shauku, na roho kuunda nyumba. Nyumba si tu inatengenezwa kuwa na kuta, mwanga, samani, na mapambo. Imekusudia kubeba kumbukumbu. 152 Reade Street ni kwanza na hasa nyumbani. Ni makazi yenye upana wa futi 25 iliyowekwa kwa siri kwenye moja ya barabara zinazopendwa zaidi za Tribeca; moja kati ya mstari wa nyumba zilizojengwa awali na mbunifu John L. Petrarca na kufikirishwa upya na Philip Koether. Lakini kinyume na majirani zake, 152 ilibadilishwa na wamiliki wa sasa, kutoka kwa nyumba iliyotolewa na mjenzi kwa heshima na Tribeca ya viwandani, kuwa nyumbani joto na la starehe. Matokeo yake ni mahali pazuri, la kifahari linalochanganya vipengele vya jadi vya kisasa na mistari safi na rahisi ya muundo wa kisasa: iliyo sawa, starehe, yenye mtindo, na isiyokoma. Kila ghorofa inafunguka kwa uzuri na kusudi. Nafasi zimejumuishwa kwa mwanga, urefu, na harmony. Madirisha makubwa ya kioo yanang'ara sebule yake, ikiwa na dari zenye urefu mara mbili zinazo Panda hadi futi 24. Ngazi ya chuma iliyopasuliwa, yenye mapambo ya filigree na hatua za marmor ya Kiitaliano inawunganisha viwango vyote kwa urahisi, ikiongeza usasa na ubora kama ilivyo katika makazi ya Paris. Chumba cha kulala tano, bafu tano kamili na mbili za nusu, terasi nne, na lifti binafsi zinaunda symphony ya faraja na wanyenyekevu. Jikoni ya kitaalamu iliyoandaliwa na Bulthaup, iliyopangwa na Gaggenau, Sub-Zero, na Bosch, ni atelie na mahali pa moto - mwaliko wa kukusanyika na kusherehekea. Ngazi ya nyuma inachanganya chumba hicho na pantry ya butler iliyoko juu, ambayo inaongoza kwenye chumba rasmi cha kulia kilichofunguka kwenye terasi. Suite kuu ni retreat yake, ikiwa na madirisha ya mviringo, bafu ya kuuza ya kina, na saluni ya mavazi - kwa upole ya kujifurahisha lakini ya karibu. Vyumba vya kulala vya pili viko kwenye kiwango kinachofuata. Juu yake, kiwango cha penthouse kina ofisi/chumba cha burudani, ambacho kinatoa uf access wa terasi ya paa ya ngazi mbili. Kwa kweli ya kuvutia, paa hiyo ina mandhari ya sinema ya ikoni ya Downtown na Freedom Tower na inazingirwa na pergola, kituo cha grill, na jacuzzi ya wazi. Vifaa vingine ni pamoja na cellar ya divai yenye mvunguni, chumba cha muziki kisichokuwa na kelele, na chumba cha burudani cha vyombo vya habari chenye meza za billiard, meza za michezo ya bodi/kadi, na sofa za starehe kwa faraja kubwa.

A HOUSE IS NOT A HOME. We’ve heard it said many times before. Houses are built, and homes are crafted . It takes vision, will, passion, and spirit to craft a home. A home is not just made to contain walls, lighting, furniture, and furnishings. It’s made to hold memories. 152 Reade Street is first and foremost a home. It is a 25-foot-wide residence set discreetly on one of Tribeca’s most coveted streets; one of a row of houses originally built by architect John L. Petrarca and reimagined by Philip Koether. But unlike its neighbors, 152 was transformed by the current owners, from a developer-delivered house with deference to industrial Tribeca, into a warm, comfortable transitional home. The result is a serene, elegant haven that blends classic traditional elements with clean, simple lines of modern design: balanced, comfortable, sophisticated, and timeless. Each floor unfolds with beauty and purpose. Spaces are layered in light, height, and harmony. Sweeping panes of glass illuminate its living room, boasting double-height ceilings that soar to 24 feet. A forged-iron, filigree staircase with Italian marble steps connect all levels seamlessly, adding both modernity and refinement similarly found in a Parisian abode. Five bedrooms, five full and two half baths, four terraces, and a private elevator compose a symphony of comfort and discretion. The Bulthaup-designed professional breakfast kitchen, appointed with Gaggenau, Sub-Zero, and Bosch, is both atelier and hearth- an invitation to gather and celebrate. A rear staircase connects the room to a butler’s pantry located above, which leads to the formal dining room opening onto a terrace. The primary suite is its own retreat, with arched windows, deep soaking bath, and dressing salon- quietly indulgent yet intimate. The secondary bedrooms are located on the next level. Above it, the penthouse level features an office/recreation room, which provides access to a two-tiered rooftop terrace. Truly captivating, the roof enjoys cinematic views of the Downtown skyline and Freedom Tower and is framed by a pergola, grill station, and an open-air hot tub. Additional amenities include a vaulted wine cellar, soundproof music room, and recreational media lounge complete with billiard’s table, board game/card tables, and cozy sofas for ultimate comfort.
