Kuna makazi yaliyokarabatiwa, na kisha kuna makazi yaliyokarabatiwa kama haya. 4B kwenye 40 West 55th ni nyumba ya mapambo kamili yenye vyumba viwili na bafu mbili ambapo kila kumalizia kimechaguliwa kwa makusudi na kinaonekana katika kila chumba. Jumba la kuingilia linakuvutia mara moja kwa sakafu za mti wa mwaloni za asili zenye plathi pana, sanaa ya kipekee iliyoangaziwa na ghorofa, na meza ya kuni iliyo na makali ya asili ambayo inaweka mtindo wa kile kinachofuata.

Sebule, inayofikia zaidi ya futi 22, ina mwangaza wa kutosha kwa dirisha kubwa linalopinda-na-kugeuka, lenye hewa. Hata hivyo, nafasi hiyo bado ni ya joto, ikiwa na kasa ya moto ya Emperador marble inayoenda hadi dari. Mipaka imezungukwa na makabati ya walnut yaliyoundwa, mwanga uliounganishwa, na kuta zilizo na muundo. Chumba hiki kinatoa chaguo kwa ajili ya kupumzika na burudani.

Chumba cha kula rasmi ni moja ya maeneo ya kushangaza zaidi katika makazi hayo. Makabati ya walnut yaliyoandaliwa yanapunguza kuta tatu. Lampu ya kioo ya kisasa inashikilia chumba hicho. Nook ya bar ya mvua iliyotengwa imejumuishwa kwa ushirikiano kwenye kazi ya ujenzi; ikiwa na friji ya divai na vinywaji yenye maeneo mawili ya kutumikia. Kwa countertop za exotic za Blue Bahia quartzite, makabati ya juu yenye mbele ya kioo, na vifaa vya ginkgo vilivyotengenezwa kwa mikono, ni aina ya chumba inayoifanya burudani kuwa rahisi. Kwa wanunuzi wasiohitaji chumba cha kula rasmi, nafasi hiyo hubadilika kwa uzuri kuwa maktaba ya nyumbani au chumba cha pili cha kupumzika.

Jikoni limekarabatiwa kwa kiwango ambacho mara chache unaona kwenye nyumba za awali zenye vyumba viwili ikiwa ni pamoja na: countertop za Fantasy Macaubas quartzite na kuta za dirisha, tile za kioo za Opalina kwenye backsplash, makabati ya maple ya Waypoint, sinki ya chuma ya Ruvati iliyo chini na bomba la daraja lililo na uondoaji mpya, jokofu la Samsung lenye mlango wa Kifaransa, na dishwashing ya GE Profile. Mlango wa huduma wa pekee kutoka jikoni ni anasa ya vitendo ambayo wenyeji wa majengo ya huduma kamili wanathamini sana.

Chumba cha kulala cha kwanza ni chumba kilichojaa mwangaza wa jua chenye sakafu za mti wa mwaloni joto, fan ya dari ya shaba ya kubuni, na milango ya makabati yenye paneli zilizoinuliwa zilizounganishwa kwa kiwango cha kumalizia kinachonyesha viwango vya juu. Kinajumuisha kabati kubwa, kilichoundwa kwa vifaa vya kawaida. Bafu yenye dirisha iliyo ndani imefungwa kwa kiwango cha kipekee na tile za marble mosaics, tub ya kuoga, mfumo wa kuoga wa Kohler HydroRail wenye vifaa vya shaba vilivyokwanguliwa, vanity inayoelea yenye countertop ya jiwe, na mwangaza wa dari wa kisasa.

Chumba cha pili cha kulala pia kina mwangaza mwingi huku ikiwa na mwanga wa dari mpya na sconces zinazolingana zinazowaka plaster ya Venice ya thamani. Hii pamoja na kabati la kuingia hutoa hisia ya chumba cha pili cha kulala. Karibu, bafu ya pili ina mfumo wa kuoga wa Delta unaoingia, kifuniko cha kioo kisicho na mkoa, tile kubwa za porcelain, na juu ya vanity ya marble yenye vifaa vya nickel vilivyong'olewa.

Upepo wa hewa mpya wa kupitia ukuta unahudumia kila chumba, bila kumulikwa kwa urahisi ndani ya kazi ya ujenzi ya kawaida ambayo pia inaruhusu marekebisho ya joto kwa urahisi. Hifadhi ni bora kwa makazi ya ukubwa huu, ikiwa na makabati ya ndani yaliyoundwa kila mahali na vitengo viwili vya kuhifadhi vya kibinafsi katika jengo hilo ambavyo vitahamishwa na mauzo.

40 West 55th Street ni makazi ya condo yenye muundo wa Rosario Candela iliyoundwa mwaka 1924 ambayo ilifanya ukarabati wa $3.5M ulioonyeshwa katika The New York Times. Jengo hilo lilirudishwa kwenye mpangilio wake wa makazi wa asili na mifumo ya kiufundi iliyoboreshwa, sakafu za lobby za terrazzo zilizorekebishwa, na dari ya fresco ya mtindo wa Venice. Vifaa vinajumuisha mlinzi wa mlango wa muda wote, lifti, na kufulia kwa pamoja. Wanyama wa kipenzi wanakaribishwa. Katika dakika chache kutoka Central Park, MoMA, Carnegie Hall, Rockefeller Center, na Fifth Avenue, makazi haya yanatoa mtindo wa maisha wa Midtown wenye kiwango na urahisi wa kipekee.

There are renovated residences, and then there are residences renovated like this. 4B at 40 West 55th is a fully gut-renovated two-bedroom, two-bath home where every finish was chosen with intention and it shows in every room. The entry foyer draws you in immediately with the wide-plank original white oak floors, gallery-lit one of a kind artwork, and a custom live-edge wood console that sets the tone for what follows.

The living room, which spans over 22 feet, is bright with large tilt-and-turn, airy windows. Yet the space is still warm, with a dramatic floor-to-ceiling Emperador marble wood-burning fireplace. The edges are flanked by custom walnut built-in shelving, integrated lighting, and textured walls. This room provides both options for relaxing and entertaining.

The formal dining room is one of the most remarkable spaces in the residence. Custom floor-to ceiling walnut cabinetry wraps three walls. A sculptural crystal chandelier anchors the room. The dedicated wet bar nook is tucked seamlessly into the millwork; complete with a built-in dual zone wine and beverage fridge. With exotic Brazilian Blue Bahia quartzite countertops, glass-front upper cabinets, and hand-cast ginkgo hardware throughout, it is the kind of room that makes entertaining feel effortless. For buyers who don't need a formal dining room, the space converts

beautifully to a home library or second sitting room.

The kitchen was renovated to a standard you rarely see in a prewar two-bedroom including: Fantasy Macaubas quartzite countertops and window sill, Opalina glass subway tile backsplash, Waypoint maple cabinetry, a Ruvati undermount stainless sink with a bridge faucet with brand new disposal, Samsung counter-depth French door refrigerator, and a GE Profile dishwasher. A separate service entrance off the kitchen is a practical luxury that residents of full-service buildings genuinely appreciate.

The primary bedroom is a sun-filled room with warm oak floors, a designer brass ceiling fan, and custom raised-panel millwork closet doors that speak to the level of finish throughout. It includes a large closet, custom built out with bespoke hardware. The windowed en-suite bath is finished to an exceptional standard with marble mosaic tile wainscoting, a soaking tub, a Kohler HydroRail pressure-balanced shower system with brushed gold hardware, a custom floating vanity with stone countertop, and a sculptural multi-globe ceiling fixture.

The second bedroom is equally bright with newly installed ceiling lights and matching sconces that illuminate expensive venetian plaster. This along with the walk-in custom closet gives the feel of a second primary bedroom. Close by, the second bath features a walk-in Delta shower system, frameless glass enclosure, large-format porcelain tile, and a marble vanity top with polished nickel fixtures.

Brand new through-wall air conditioning serves every room, seamlessly concealed within custom millwork that also allows for easy temperature adjustment. Storage is exceptional for a residence of this size, with custom built-in cabinetry throughout and two additional private storage units in the building that transfer with the sale.

40 West 55th Street is a 1924 Rosario Candela-designed prewar condominium that underwent a $3.5M restoration featured in The New York Times. The building was returned to its original residential layout with upgraded mechanical systems, restored terrazzo lobby floors, and a Venetian-style fresco ceiling. Amenities include a full-time door attendant, elevator, and common laundry. Pets are welcome. Just moments from Central Park, MoMA, Carnegie Hall, Rockefeller Center, and Fifth Avenue, this residence offers an elevated and exceptionally convenient Midtown lifestyle.
