NYUMBA SIYO NYUMBANI. Tumeshawishwa kusema hivyo mara nyingi kabla. Majengo yanajengwa, na nyumbani kunaundwa. Inachukua maono, mapenzi, shauku, na roho kuunda nyumbani. Nyumba haijajengwa tu kubeba kuta, mwanga, samani, na vifaa vya ndani. Imeundwa kushikilia kumbukumbu. 152 Reade Street ni kwanza na zaidi nyumbani. Ni makazi ya upana wa miguu 25 yaliyojificha kwenye moja ya mitaa inayotamanika zaidi ya Tribeca; moja ya mtaa wa nyumba zilizojengwa awali na mbunifu John L. Petrarca na kufikirishwa tena na Philip Koether. Lakini kinyume na majirani zake, 152 ilibadilishwa na wamiliki wa sasa, kutoka nyumba iliyotolewa na mdeveloper kwa heshima kwa Tribeca ya viwanda, hadi nyumbani joto na la kupumzika. Matokeo ni mahali pa kupumzika, la kifahari linalochanganya vipengele vya jadi na mistari safi, rahisi ya muundo wa kisasa: inayofanana, ya kupumzika, ya kisasa, na isiyokuwa na wakati. Kila ghorofa inafunguka kwa uzuri na kusudi. Nafasi zimepangwa kwa mwangaza, urefu, na harmony. Dirisha kubwa za kioo zinaangaza chumba chake cha kuishi, zikijivunia dari yenye urefu mara mbili inayoinuka hadi miguu 24. Ngazi ya chuma iliyotengenezwa na filigree yenye hatua za marumaru za Kitaliano inashikamana kwa urahisi na viwango vyote, ikiongeza kisasa na kuboresha kama inavyopatikana katika makazi ya Kifaransa. Vyumba vitano, bafu tano kamili na mbili za nusu, terasi nne, na lifti ya kibinafsi vinaunda symphony ya faraja na unyenyekevu. Jiko la asubuhi lililoundwa na Bulthaup, likipambwa na Gaggenau, Sub-Zero, na Bosch, ni mahali pa kazi na moyo - mwaliko wa kukusanyika na kusherehekea. Ngazi ya nyuma inaunganisha chumba na pantry ya butler iliyoko juu, ambayo inapelekea chumba rasmi cha mlo kinachofunguka kwenye terasi. Suite kuu ni retreat yake mwenyewe, ikiwa na madirisha ya mstatili, bathi ya kuotea, na saloni ya mavazi - yenye utulivu lakini ya karibu. Vyumba vya kulala vya sekondari viko kwenye kiwango kinachofuata. Juu yake, kiwango cha penthouse kina ofisi/chumba cha burudani, ambacho kinatoa ufaccess kwa terasi ya paa ya ngazi mbili. Kweli inavutia, paa lina mandhari ya sinema ya muonekano wa skyline ya Downtown na Jengo la Uhuru na imewekwa na pergola, kituo cha grill, na Jacuzzi ya wazi. Kifaa kingine ni pamoja na chumba cha sidiria kilichovunjika, chumba cha muziki kisichosikika, na saluni ya burudani yenye meza za billiards, meza za michezo ya bodi/kadi, na sofa tulivu kwa faraja ya juu. *Pia inapatikana kwa ajili ya kupangishwa, uliza kwa maelezo.

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. *Also available for rent, inquire for details.
