Alianza iliandaliwa kama chumba cha kulala viwili, duplex hii yenye mwangaza wa ajabu ya mita za mraba 1,800 - iliyoko ndani ya Hoteli ya Wasanii - imefanywa upya kwa uangalifu kama makazi ya chumba kimoja yenye ubora na tabia isiyofanana. Nyumba hiyo ina chumba cha wafanyakazi kwenye ghorofa ileile, chenye bafu ndogo na mashine ya kuosha na kukausha.

Sebule inayong'ara, yenye urefu wa karibu futi kumi na tisa inapanuka chini ya dari iliyochorwa kwa mikono - iliyorejeshwa kwa uzuri na wahifadhi wa Smithsonian, waliohuisha kila mchoro na uchongaji. Madirisha yenye futi kumi na nne yanatoa mwanga wa joto kutoka kusini na mashariki, yakijenga mazingira makubwa na ya utulivu. Maelezo ya usanifu yanapatikana - kuanzia kazi za madirisha ya chuma zilizorejeshwa hadi ngazi ya mbao iliyochongwana, ukuta wa mbao, na kifua cha jiwe kilichochongwa kwa mikono kinachoshikilia sebule hiyo kwa joto na uzito.

Milango ya mfuko inaziunganisha sebule na chumba cha kulia ili kuunda mtiririko rahisi, huku eneo kubwa la kulia likifunguka kwenye balcony ya kuvutia inayotazama dome ya kanisa jirani. Kando ya chumba cha kulia, jikoni ya kupikia iliyojaa uzuri imesheheni vifaa vya kisasa na hood ya mvuke iliyovishwa shaba ambayo inatoa mtindo na joto kwa nafasi hiyo.

Juu ya ngazi ya usanifu yenye mvuto, suite kuu yenye utulivu na mwangaza wa jua inafurahia mwanga wa joto kutoka kusini na muonekano wa Central Park. Kabati kubwa la kutembea - awali likiwa chumba cha kulala cha pili - linaweza kurudishwa kwa urahisi kama inavyotakikana. Bafu kuu iliyo na marumaru inahisi kama spa, ikiwa na bamia ya kuogea na mvua ya kioo iliyofungwa kando. Chumba cha poda kiliongezwa kwa uangalifu kwenye kiwango hiki kwa urahisi. Hali ya hewa ya kati inahakikisha faraja ya kisasa.

Kila kipengele cha nyumba kinawakilisha kiwango kisicho cha kawaida cha makini. Mwangaza wa mwanga ni wa zamani au umetengenezwa kwa kawaida; vifaa, vidhibiti vya milango, na swichi za mwanga vimerudishwa na kuchaguliwa kwa mikono ili kuhifadhi roho ya awali ya nyumba. Pazia za kawaida zinainuka kwa ukali kuelekea dari, zikikamilishwa na kivuli cha dirisha kinachodhibitiwa kwa mbali, kwa urahisi bila usumbufu.

Chumba cha wafanyakazi kilichojumuishwa - kwa sasa kinatumika kama eneo kubwa la kuhifadhi, chenye uwezo wa kutumika kama chumba kidogo cha wageni au ofisi ya nyumbani - kipo katika korido kwenye ghorofa ya sita. Kinatoa bafu ndogo na mashine ya kuosha/kukausha, ambayo inaweza kubadilishwa kwa urahisi na mvua, kama inavyohitajika.

Hoteli ya Wasanii inatoa mtindo wa maisha wa kipekee. Wakaazi wanapokea piscina, kituo cha mazoezi binafsi, uwanja wa squash, hifadhi ya baiskeli, na dari ya nje yenye ukuta mrefu. Wanahisa pia wanapata huduma za chumba na viwango maalum vya upishi kutoka mgahawa maarufu, Leopard, uliopo kwenye tovuti, wakati mashine za kuinua na huduma za kamili zinatoa faraja na usalama.

Iliyoundwa mwaka 1917, jengo hii kubwa la Gothic Revival ikiwa na hadhi ya ghorofa kumi na nane kwa muda mrefu imekuwa nyumbani kwa wasanii na wabunifu wa utamaduni wa New York, kutoka Noël Coward na Isadora Duncan hadi Meya John V. Lindsay, Alexander Woollcott, Norman Rockwell, na Joel Grey. Iko katika eneo bora moja kwa moja mbele ya Central Park na dakika chache kutoka Lincoln Center, mlo wa daraja la dunia, makumbusho, na usafiri, Hoteli ya Wasanii inabaki kuwa moja ya ushirika maarufu zaidi wa Manhattan - ikiruhusu ufadhili wa asilimia 50, wanyama wa nyumbani na pieds-à-terre. Zaidi ya kuwa nyumba ya ajabu, makazi haya ni urithi - urithi wa ustadi mzuri na utamaduni ndani ya moja ya alama za usanifu zinazodumu zaidi za New York.

Originally conceived as a two-bedroom, this luminous, triple-mint duplex of approximately 1,800 square feet - set within the legendary Hotel des Artistes - has been meticulously reimagined as a gracious one-bedroom residence of exceptional quality and character. Included with the home is a staff room on the same floor, complete with a half bath and washer dryer.

A sun-drenched, soaring, nearly nineteen-foot living room unfolds beneath a hand-painted, beamed ceiling - magnificently restored by Smithsonian conservators, who revived every brushstroke and carving. Fourteen-foot casement windows flood the space with warm southern and eastern light, creating an atmosphere both grand and serene. Architectural details abound - from the restored iron window work to the carved wood staircase, balustrade, and hand-hewn stone fireplace that anchors the living room with warmth and gravity.

Pocket doors connect the living and dining rooms to create an effortless flow, as the spacious dining area opens onto a charming balcony overlooking the dome of a neighboring church. Just off of the dining room, the exquisitely renovated chef’s kitchen is outfitted with top-of-the-line appliances and a distinctive copper-clad vent hood that grounds the space with style and warmth.

Up the architecturally striking staircase, the tranquil, sun-washed primary suite enjoys soft southern light and a glimpse of Central Park. An incredibly spacious walk-in closet - formerly a second bedroom - can be easily reconverted if desired. The marble-clad primary bath feels spa-like, with a deep soaking tub and separate glass-enclosed shower. A powder room was thoughtfully added on this level for convenience. Central air conditioning ensures modern comfort throughout.

Every element of the home reflects an uncommon level of thoughtfulness. Light fixtures are antique or custom-made; hardware, doorknobs, and light switches have been restored and hand-selected to preserve the home’s original spirit. Custom draperies rise dramatically toward the ceiling, complemented by remote-controlled window shades, for effortless ease.

The included staff room - currently used as a spacious storage area, with potential to serve as a small guest room or home office - is located down the hall on the sixth floor. It offers a half bath and washer/dryer, which could easily swapped for a shower, if desired.

The Hotel des Artistes offers an extraordinary lifestyle. Residents enjoy a swimming pool, private fitness center, squash court, bike storage, and a high-walled outdoor roof deck. Shareholders also receive room service and preferred dining rates from the acclaimed, on-site Leopard restaurant, while attended elevators and full-service amenities provide comfort and security.

Built in 1917, this eighteen-story Gothic Revival masterpiece has long been home to New York’s cultural and creative elite, from Noël Coward and Isadora Duncan to Mayor John V. Lindsay, Alexander Woollcott, Norman Rockwell, and Joel Grey. Perfectly situated right across from Central Park and just moments from Lincoln Center, world-class dining, museums, and transportation, the Hotel des Artistes remains one of Manhattan’s most highly-coveted cooperatives - allowing 50% financing, pets and pieds-à-terre. More than just a spectacular home, this residence is a legacy - an heirloom of fine craftsmanship and culture within one of New York’s most enduring architectural icons.
