Fursa ya Nyumba Moja ya Kawaida kwenye Manhattan Avenue

Karibu kwenye 123 Manhattan Avenue, nyumba maarufu ya karne ya 19 inatoa takriban futi za mraba 2,720 kwenye ghorofa nne kamili (17’ x 40’ iliyojengwa na 16.8’ x 75’ eneo). Imejaliwa kwa upendo kwa muda, nyumba hii ya familia moja inatoa fursa ya pekee ya kurejesha, kufikiria upya, na kuunda makazi ya kipekee kabisa iliyoundwa kwa ajili ya maisha ya kisasa—wakati ikihifadhi uaminifu na mvuto wa asili yake ya kihistoria.

Imejengwa mwaka 1886 na kubuniwa na mbunifu wa majengo Joseph M. Dunn kwa ajili ya mkandarasi maarufu F.A. Seitz, nyumba hii ni sehemu ya safu iliyoungana ya nyumba za Queen Anne na Romanesque Revival ambazo zinachangia utajiri wa usanifu wa Wilaya ya Kihistoria ya Manhattan Valley. Nyumba hizi zimepangwa kwa akili na mtindo wa kuvutia, zikijumuisha mchanganyiko wa matofali, mawe, na vifaa vya terracotta, shingo mbalimbali, na vipengele vya mapambo ambavyo vinaendelea kufafanua tabia ya block hii hadi leo.

Ndani, nyumba inahifadhi vipimo vyake vya jadi na alama nyingi za asili za usanifu, ikiwa ni pamoja na viwango vya dari vya juu, madirisha makubwa, na vioko viwili vinavyofanya kazi. Kiwango na mpangilio vinatoa msingi mzuri kwa ukarabati wa busara, iwe ni kuhifadhi sehemu za jadi za chumba au kufungua nafasi kwa mtindo wa kisasa zaidi.

Kiwango cha bustani kinatumikia kama moyo wa kazi wa nyumba, kwa sasa kimepangwa na jikoni, eneo la huduma na kufulia, na ufikiaji wa moja kwa moja kwenye ua mkubwa unaokabili upande wa magharibi—unaofaa kwa kuunda uhusiano wa ndani-na-nje na uwezekano wa jikoni na uzoefu wa chakula uliofikiria upya.

Ghorofa ya parlor inatoa mlango mzuri kwenye chumba cha kukalia mbele, ikiongoza kwenye maktaba ya nyuma ambayo inajitokeza kwa urahisi kuwa chumba rasmi cha dining au eneo la ziada la kuishi. Kuna fursa ya kuanzisha chumba cha mvua kwenye kiwango hiki, kuboresha kazi na mtiririko.

Ghorofa ya tatu na ya nne kila moja ina vyumba viwili na bafu kamili, na kutoa muundo rahisi wa mpangilio wa maisha tofauti, iwe imepangwa kama nyumba ya vyumba vinne au kufikiria upya kujumlisha suite ya msingi ya ghorofa nzima. Muundo uliopo pia unatoa uwezekano wa kuongeza nyuma, kuruhusu kuundwa kwa chumba cha msimu nne au eneo la dining lililopanuliwa, huku ikiwa na uwezekano wa terazi juu.

Kwa uso wake unaokabili mashariki na bustani inayoelekea magharibi, nyumba inafaidika na mwanga wa asili unaoweza kupatikana kwa kiwango sawa wakati wa siku. Madirisha makubwa yanazidisha hisia ya volumu na wazi, kuimarisha kiwango cha nyumba.

Zaidi ya nyumba yenyewe, eneo linatoa bora kabisa la maisha ya Upper West Side. Nyuma ya dakika chache kutoka Central Park, Chuo Kikuu cha Columbia, na mkusanyiko mzuri wa mikahawa, kahawa, na huduma za jirani, mazingira haya yanachanganya urahisi na hisia halisi ya jamii. Ufikiaji wa treni za B/C na 1 unahakikisha uhusiano mzuri na sehemu nyingine za jiji.

Kwa mnunuzi ambaye anatafuta nyumba yenye maudhui na uwezekano, 123 Manhattan Avenue inawakilisha fursa yenye mvuto ya kuleta nyumba ya kihistoria kwenye sura yake inayofuata—iliyosasishwa kwa busara, binafsi kwa kina, na ya kipekee kwako.

Classic Single-Family Townhouse Opportunity on Manhattan Avenue

Welcome to 123 Manhattan Avenue, a distinguished late 19th-century townhouse offering approximately 2,720 square feet across four full floors (17’ x 40’ built and 16.8’ x 75’ lot). Lovingly cared for over time, this single-family home presents a rare opportunity to restore, reimagine, and create a truly exceptional residence tailored to modern living—while preserving the integrity and charm of its historic origins.

Constructed in 1886 and designed by architect Joseph M. Dunn for prominent developer F.A. Seitz, the home is part of a cohesive row of Queen Anne and Romanesque Revival townhouses that contribute to the architectural richness of the Manhattan Valley Historic District. These homes were thoughtfully designed with a picturesque sensibility, incorporating a blend of brick, stone, and terra-cotta detailing, varied gables, and decorative elements that continue to define the character of the block today.

Inside, the home retains its classic proportions and many original architectural cues, including soaring ceiling heights, oversized windows, and two working fireplaces. The scale and layout provide an excellent foundation for a thoughtful renovation, whether preserving traditional room divisions or opening the space for a more contemporary flow.

The garden level serves as the functional heart of the home, currently configured with a kitchen, utility and laundry area, and direct access to a spacious west-facing backyard—ideal for creating an indoor-outdoor connection with potential for a reimagined kitchen and dining experience.

The parlor floor offers a gracious entry into a front seating room, leading to a rear library space that lends itself naturally to a formal dining room or additional living area. There is an opportunity to introduce a powder room on this level, enhancing both functionality and flow.

The third and fourth floors each offer two bedrooms and a full bath, providing a flexible framework for a variety of living arrangements, whether configured as a four-bedroom home or reimagined to include a full-floor primary suite. The existing structure also presents the potential for a rear extension, allowing for the creation of a four-season room or expanded dining area, with the possibility of a terrace above.

With its east-facing frontage and west-facing garden, the home benefits from balanced natural light throughout the day. Oversized windows further enhance the sense of volume and openness, reinforcing the home’s inherent scale.

Beyond the home itself, the location offers the very best of Upper West Side living. Just moments from Central Park, Columbia University, and a vibrant collection of restaurants, cafes, and neighborhood amenities, the setting combines convenience with a true sense of community. Access to the B/C and 1 trains ensures seamless connectivity to the rest of the city.

For the buyer seeking a home with both substance and potential, 123 Manhattan Avenue represents a compelling opportunity to bring a historic townhouse into its next chapter—thoughtfully updated, deeply personal, and uniquely yours.
