Elegance ya Kihistoria ya Classic 8 inakutana na uwezo usio na mwisho...

Karibu katika nyumba hii yenye neema ya kabla ya vita katika 55 East 72nd Street, ushirikiano bora ulio katikati ya Park na Madison Avenues. Awali ilikuwa classic eight yenye chumba tatu, sasa imepangwa kama chumba mbili, makazi haya yamehifadhiwa kwa upendo na familia moja kwa zaidi ya miaka hamsini—sasa yiko tayari kwa sura yake inayofuata.

Ingiza kutoka kwenye chumba cha lifti kilichoshirikiwa na makazi mengine mawili tu hadi kwenye foyer ya kuingilia kubwa, ikitengeneza mtindo wa nyumba hii isiyokwisha. Sebule kubwa yenye upana wa mara mbili, ikijazwa na mwangaza wa kusini kutoka ghorofa ya 15, inashikiliwa na jiko la moto la kuni, lililo la kipekee katika jengo hili—inayoonyesha mandhari ya kuvutia ya jiji.

Chumba rasmi cha kulia, chenye majengo ya kupendeza na mtazamo wa kaskazini, ni bora kwa vikao vya karibu na inaweza pia kutumika kama ofisi au chumba cha media. Jiko la kula lenye dirisha, likifurahia madirisha matatu yanayoelekea magharibi, linaweza kupanuliwa ili kujumuisha chumba cha awali cha wafanyakazi, ambacho sasa ni chumba cha kufulia na hifadhi kilichojazwa vizuri na mashine ya kufulia/bila venti, pamoja na chumba cha huduma rahisi.

Chumba kikuu kilichopo pembezoni kinapata mwangaza kutoka upande wa kusini na mashariki, kikiwa na mwangaza wa asili. Bafu yake yenye dirisha inatoa fursa ya kupanuka. Chumba cha pili, ambacho kwa sasa kinatumika kama ofisi au chumba cha kujistarehesha, kina bafu iliyo kiunganishi. Chumba cha awali cha tatu kimejumuishwa kwa urahisi katika eneo la kuishi lakini kinaweza kurejeshwa kwa urahisi. Nyumba hii imejaa maelezo ya kihistoria ya kabla ya vita, ikiwa na dari za juu, sakafu za mbao, na nafasi kubwa za hifadhi kila mahali.

Fikiria kuanza asubuhi yako na kahawa kutoka Ralph’s na bagel iliyopikwa hivi punde kutoka Eli’s Market kabla ya kutembea kupitia Central Park, umbali wa blok moja tu. Umezungukwa na maduka ya kifahari ya Madison Avenue na baadhi ya mikoa bora ya miji, mtindo wa maisha wa Upper East Side.

Imeundwa mwaka 1924 na Alfred Joseph Bodker, 55 East 72nd Street ni ushirikiano wa ajabu wa mawe ya limestone na matofali ya neo-Renaissance wenye huduma ya mlango wa saa 24, meneja wa makazi anayekaa, uhifadhi wa kibinafsi, chumba cha baiskeli, na bustani ya paa iliyopambwa vizuri. Wanyama wa sehemu, pieds-à-terre, na ufadhili wa hadi asilimia 40 unaruhusiwa kwa idhini ya bodi. Kodi ya mabadiliko ya asilimia 2 inakabiliwa na mnunuzi.

Classic 8 Prewar elegance meets endless potential…

Welcome to this gracious prewar home at 55 East 72nd Street, a premier cooperative ideally situated between Park and Madison Avenues. Originally a classic eight with three bedrooms, currently configured as a two-bedroom, this residence has been lovingly cared for by the same family for more than fifty years—now ready for its next chapter.

Enter from a semi-private elevator landing shared with only one other residence into a grand entry foyer, setting the tone for this timeless home. The double-width living room, bathed in southern light from the 15th floor, is anchored by a rare double-wide, wood-burning fireplace—the only one of its kind in the building—and showcases charming open city views.

The formal dining room, with its elegant proportions and northern exposure, is ideal for intimate entertaining and could easily serve as a den or media room. The cheery, windowed eat-in kitchen enjoys three west-facing windows and can be expanded to include the original staff room, now a fully equipped laundry and storage room with vented washer/dryer, plus a convenient powder room.

The corner primary bedroom enjoys both southern and eastern exposures, filling the space with natural light. Its windowed bath offers the opportunity for expansion. The second bedroom, currently used as a den or office, has an en suite bath. The original third bedroom has been seamlessly incorporated into the living space but can easily be restored. This home is filled with timeless pre-war details, including high ceilings, hardwood floors, and generous storage space throughout.
