Karibu katika Makazi 28A kwenye The Halcyon — nyumba pana yenye vyumba vinne vya kulala na bafu 3.5, iliyojaa mwanga wa jua na kuinuka juu kabisa ya Midtown East kwenye ghorofa ya 28.

Ukubwa wa makazi haya unavutia mara moja. Dari zenye urefu wa zaidi ya futi kumi, madirisha makubwa kutoka sakafuni hadi darini, pamoja na sebule na chumba cha kulia cha kona vinavyotoa mandhari ya jiji kutoka pande tatu — majengo ya Empire State na Chrysler upande wa kusini, anga la Midtown upande wa magharibi, na mandhari pana ya mto upande wa mashariki. Ni nyumba chache sana Manhattan zinazotoa mtazamo mpana kama huu.

Mpangilio wa ndani pia ni wa ukarimu. Jiko la Poliform lililo wazi, lenye madirisha, kaunta za marumaru ya Calacatta Gold na vifaa vya Miele na Sub-Zero, ndilo kitovu cha eneo la burudani, huku mpangilio uliopangwa kwa umakini ukifaa kwa maisha ya kila siku yasiyo na usumbufu pamoja na kuwakaribisha wageni rasmi. Sakafu za mwaloni wenye rangi ya moshi, zenye upana wa inchi sita, zimeenea katika nyumba nzima na kuongeza hali ya ustaarabu wa hali ya juu, usio wa kujionyesha.

Chumba kikuu cha kulala cha kona, chenye faragha, ni sehemu halisi ya kujituliza — kina kabati kubwa maalum la kuingia, makabati yaliyojengwa ndani, na bafu lenye hadhi ya spa lililopambwa kwa marumaru nyeupe ya statuary, vifaa vya shaba, beseni refu la kuogea, pamoja na bafu tofauti lililozungushiwa kioo. Vyumba viwili vya ziada vya kulala kila kimoja kina bafu lake la ndani lenye vigae vya kioo ukutani na vifaa vya shaba vya Kohler. Chumba cha kusomea kilichojaa mwanga wa jua, kilicho kando ya jiko, kinaweza kutumika kwa urahisi kama chumba cha nne cha kulala; chumba cha kufulia cha kuingia chenye sinki na choo maridadi cha wageni vinakamilisha makazi haya.

The Halcyon yenyewe ni mojawapo ya anwani mashuhuri zaidi Midtown East — kondominiamu ya kifahari yenye ghorofa 33 iliyobuniwa na mbunifu wa AD100, S. Russell Groves. Vistawishi vyake ni vya kipekee kwa kweli: bwawa la ndani lenye urefu wa futi 52 na linalopashwa joto, kituo cha mazoezi kilichojaa mwanga, vyumba vya mvuke na sauna, chumba binafsi cha matibabu, kifaa cha kuiga uchezaji wa gofu, chumba cha watoto, sebule ya burudani yenye jiko la kuhudumia wageni, maktaba, sebule ya juu yenye mandhari ya anga, na bustani tulivu ya ua — vyote vikiambatana na huduma za mlinzi wa mlangoni na mhudumu wa concierge saa 24 kwa siku.

Welcome to Residence 28A at The Halcyon - a sprawling, sun-drenched four-bedroom, 3.5-bath home soaring high above Midtown East on the 28th floor.

The scale of this residence is immediately commanding. Ceilings over ten feet high, floor-to-ceiling windows, and a corner living and dining room that captures the city from three directions - the Empire State and Chrysler buildings to the south, Midtown's skyline to the west, and sweeping river vistas to the east. Few apartments in Manhattan offer this breadth of outlook from a home.

The layout is equally generous. A windowed, open Poliform kitchen with Calacatta Gold marble countertops and Miele and Subzero appliances anchors the entertaining space, while the well-considered floor plan accommodates both effortless daily living and formal hosting. Smoked six-inch-wide oak floors run throughout, adding a layer of refined, understated sophistication.

The private corner primary suite is a true retreat - oversized custom walk-in closet, built-ins, and a spa-caliber bathroom with white statuary marble, bronze fixtures, a deep soaking tub, and a separate glass-enclosed shower. Two additional bedrooms each feature en-suite bathrooms with glass wall tiles and bronze Kohler fixtures. A sun-filled study off the kitchen functions seamlessly as a fourth bedroom, with a walk-in laundry room with sink and an elegant powder room rounding out the offering.

The Halcyon itself is one of Midtown East's most distinguished addresses - a 33-story luxury condo designed by AD100 architect S. Russell Groves, where the amenities are genuinely exceptional: a 52-foot heated indoor pool, a light-filled fitness center, steam and sauna rooms, a private treatment room, a golf simulator, a playroom, a media lounge with catering kitchen, a library, a sky lounge, and a serene courtyard garden - all with 24-hour doorman and concierge services.
