387 Manhattan Avenue | Morningside Gold Coast, Manhattan

Katika mojawapo ya mitaa inayotafutwa zaidi ya Morningside Gold Coast, nyumba hii ya kiwango cha juu, iliyo bora tena, ya miaka ya 1880 ina vipengele nadra vya usanifu wa kihistoria na maisha ya kisasa. Inashughulikia takriban futi za mraba 2,900 juu ya eneo lenye upana wa futi 18, nyumba hii ya vyumba vinne na bafu tatu imefanywa kwa fikra iliyobuniwa vyema na iliyo na mwonekano mzuri.

Muundo
Sakafu za mti wa mwituni mweupe zinasambaa kila mahali, zikileta joto na uendelevu ndani ya nyumba. Ngazi ya kawaida ya mti wa mwituni, yenye ukuta wa madari uliochongwa, inauunganisha nyumba kwa wima. Nyuma ya kuta, kila mfumo mkubwa umeboreshwa - kutoka kwa mfumo wa HVAC wa maeneo mengi na teknolojia ya pampu ya joto hadi vipengele vya nyumba yenye akili - ikitoa kiwango cha faraja na ufanisi ambacho hakipatikaniki kwa urahisi katika nyumba za mji wa wakati huu.

Ngazi Kuu
Sehemu za kuishi na kula zinaingia kwa urahisi katika jikoni la wapishi lililo na uwezo wa chakula linaloangalia eneo la nje la kibinafsi chini. Marmi ya Gioia Venatino inapanuka kwenye meza za jikoni na nyuma ya jikoni kwa uso safi na usio na usumbufu. Jiko hili la umeme lina kichoma moto cha kuingiza, vifaa vya chuma visivyo na kutu, na kabati maalum kila mahali.

Mbele, njia ya moto inayofanya kazi inashikilia eneo la kuishi, ikiwa na dirisha linaloangalia barabara iliyojaa miti ya Manhattan Avenue.

Ngazi ya Pili
Vyumba viwili vikubwa vinashiriki ngazi hii, vyenye mipango maalum, uhifadhi wa kutosha, na eneo la kubadili nguo lenye kabati la kupita. Bafu ya Jack na Jill, iliyo na umbo la mara mbili na bafu ya kuoga, imeundwa kufanya kazi kama ya pamoja au kubadilishwa kwa urahisi kuwa en-suite ya kibinafsi. Mashine ya kuosha na kuponya ya LG ya kiwango cha juu pia inapatikana kwa urahisi kwenye ngazi hii.

Ngazi ya Tatu
Suita ya kwanza iko nyuma kwa faragha na kimya, ikiangalia patio chini. Eneo la kubadili nguo linaongoza kwenye bafu ya en-suite iliyo na umbo la mara mbili na kuoga kama mvua.

Mpana wa korido, chumba cha nne kinaweza kutumika vizuri kama chumba cha kulala au chumba cha vyombo vya habari, ikiwa na projector iliyo juu ya dari na mandhari wazi juu ya barabara iliyojaa miti.

Ngazi ya Bustani
Ikiwa na upatikanaji wa ndani na mlango wa kibinafsi wa barabara, ngazi ya bustani inatoa uflexibilité wa kipekee. Ofisi ya nyumbani au deni, bafu kamili, hifadhi ya divai, na upatikanaji wa moja kwa moja kwenye patio ya bluestone inafanya iwe bora kwa wageni, matumizi ya kufanya kazi nyumbani, au retreat tofauti ndani ya nyumba.

Paa
Paa lenye takriban futi za mraba 600 lipo chini ya kivuli cha paneli za jua, kikitoa kivuli kwenye majira ya joto na ufanisi wa nishati wa maana mwaka mzima. Paneli 18 za mfumo huu zinasambaza takriban nusu ya mahitaji ya sasa ya nishati ya nyumba. Mandhari inaenea kwenye usanifu wa kihistoria wa nyumba na kuelekea Kanisa Kuu la Mtakatifu Yohane wa Kibinafsi - mandhari ambayo sio ya kawaida ya New York.

Eneo
Iko kwenye mojawapo ya sehemu nzuri zaidi za Manhattan Avenue, kati ya Central Park na Morningside Park, nyumba hii iko karibu na Chuo Kikuu cha Columbia, mikahawa maarufu, mistari kadhaa ya usafiri, na soko la wakulima la wikendi. Hii ni sehemu ya Manhattan ambayo inabaki kuwa ya kipekee kwa kimya - makazi, usanifu, na yenye hamu mara kwa mara.

Kodi za mali za kila mwaka: $13,138 (mwaka wa kodi wa 2025–2026, ukionyesha punguzo la ufungaji wa jua). Kodi za sasa bila punguzo zitakuwa takriban $15,460.

387 Manhattan Avenue | Morningside Gold Coast, Manhattan

On one of the Morningside Gold Coast’s most sought-after blocks, this turnkey, fully restored 1880s four-level brownstone offers a rare balance of historic architecture and modern living. Spanning approximately 2,900 square feet across an 18-foot-wide footprint, the four-bedroom, three-bathroom home has been thoughtfully reimagined with a cohesive, well-executed vision.

The Design
Wide-plank white oak floors run throughout, bringing warmth and continuity to the interiors. A custom oak staircase with a sculptural slatted railing unites the home vertically. Behind the walls, every major system has been upgraded — from multi-zone HVAC and heat pump technology to smart home features — delivering a level of comfort and efficiency rarely found in a townhouse of this era.

The Main Level
The living and dining areas flow seamlessly into an eat-in chef’s kitchen overlooking the private outdoor space below. Gioia Venatino marble extends across the countertops and backsplash in a clean, continuous surface. The all-electric kitchen features an induction cooktop, stainless steel appliances, and custom cabinetry throughout.

At the front, a working fireplace anchors the living area, framed by windows overlooking the tree-lined stretch of Manhattan Avenue.

The Second Level
Two spacious bedrooms share this floor, with custom built-ins, ample storage, and a dressing area with a pass-through closet. The Jack-and-Jill bathroom, with double vanity and tub with shower, is designed to function either as shared or easily converted into a private en-suite. A high-end LG washer and dryer are also conveniently located on this level.

The Third Level
The primary suite is positioned at the rear for privacy and quiet, overlooking the patio below. A dressing area leads to an en-suite bath with double vanity and walk-in rainfall shower.

Across the hall, a fourth room functions equally well as a bedroom or media room, complete with a ceiling-mounted projector and open views over the tree-lined street.

The Garden Level
With both internal access and a private street entrance, the garden level offers exceptional flexibility. A den or home office, full bathroom, wine storage, and direct access to a bluestone patio make it ideal for guests, work-from-home use, or a separate retreat within the house.

The Roof
A roughly 600-square-foot roof deck sits beneath a solar panel canopy, providing shade in the summer and meaningful energy efficiency year-round. The system’s 18 panels supply approximately half of the home’s current energy needs. Views extend across historic townhouse facades and toward the Cathedral of St. John the Divine — a distinctly New York backdrop.

The Location
Set along one of Manhattan Avenue’s most beautiful stretches, between Central Park and Morningside Park, the home is moments from Columbia University, notable dining, multiple transit lines, and a weekend farmer’s market. This is a part of Manhattan that remains quietly exceptional — residential, architectural, and enduringly desirable.

Annual property taxes: $13,138 (2025–2026 tax year, reflecting a solar installation abatement). Current taxes without the abatement would be approximately $15,460.
