163 East 64th Street ni makazi ya kihistoria ya kipekee, yaliyo kwenye mojawapo ya mitaa yenye nyumba za kifahari na mandhari nzuri zaidi ya Manhattan. Hapo awali yalijengwa mwaka 1872 na John Prague, makazi haya yamebadilishwa kwa umakini kadiri miaka ilivyopita, yakichanganya kwa uzuri tabia na mvuto wa asili yake ya enzi ya Victoria na umaridadi wa kudumu wa mbele wa mtindo wa Neo-Georgian uliobuniwa na mbunifu mashuhuri R.D. Graham. Sehemu ya mbele yenyewe ni ya kipekee sana, ikiwa imerejeshwa kwa ustadi na mafundi wale wale waliohusika na Kanisa Kuu la St. John the Divine.

Makazi haya yenye haiba, yenye takribani futi za mraba 8,000 likiwemo eneo la chini lililokamilishwa, yana vyumba vitano vya kulala, bafu tano kamili, bafu tatu za nusu, pamoja na hali adimu ya uchangamfu na ustaarabu iliyoenea kila mahali. Yakiwa na upana wa ajabu wa futi 20 na, kwa upekee zaidi, kina cha futi 90, ukubwa na uwiano wa nyumba hii ni adimu kwa maisha ya nyumba za kifahari za Manhattan, na kuunda maeneo mapana ya burudani pamoja na nafasi ya kuvutia katika kila ghorofa. Tangu unapowasili, sakafu ya mawe ya bluestone yenye joto huunda lango la kukukaribisha, likielekeza kwenye ukumbi wa kifahari uliopambwa kwa vifuniko vya ukutani vilivyopakwa rangi kwa mkono, ambavyo mara moja huweka hali ya nyumba hii yenye ustaarabu lakini inayokaribisha.

Ghorofa ya ukumbi wa mapokezi ni kuu na yenye starehe kwa wakati mmoja, ikiwa imeundwa kwa matumizi ya kila siku pamoja na burudani ya kifahari. Sakafu za mbao ngumu zenye mpangilio wa Versailles, dari zenye urefu wa futi 13.5, na mapambo ya asili ya kuvutia huunda hisia ya uzuri usio na wakati. Maktaba imehifadhi paneli zake za asili za msonobari za mwaka 1872 na kuangaziwa na taa ya shaba inayotokana na mwishoni mwa miaka ya 1800. Karibu na hapo, sebule rasmi ina michoro maalum ya ukutani inayofanana na ile ya Fragonard, taa ya Venetian, na piano kubwa, na kuunda eneo linalohisi la karibu, lenye ustaarabu, na la New York isiyoweza kupingika.

Iliyoundwa kwa ajili ya burudani ya kiwango cha juu, baa ya walnut ya Marekani ya mtindo wa Belle Époque ni kivutio cha kweli, ikiwa na mapambo maridadi ya kazi ya marumaru na kufunikwa na dari ya kioo ya Lalique yenye fahari, ambayo huijaza chumba mwanga laini wa asili. Sakafu hiyo, iliyobuniwa na Steven Puzzi, inaongeza safu nyingine ya ustadi wa kisanaa na umaridadi. Chumba rasmi cha kulia nacho kinavutia kwa madirisha yake makubwa na kitambaa cha ukutani cha kipekee cha Provencal cha karne ya 18, kilichopakwa rangi kwa mkono na kuanzia miaka ya 1750, ambacho kilirejeshwa kwa uangalifu na Jumba la Makumbusho la Metropolitan la Sanaa.

Vipengele vingine vya kuvutia ni pamoja na jiko lenye haiba la mtindo wa mashambani wa Ufaransa lenye eneo la kula, ukumbi wa mazoezi wa ndani, pishi la mvinyo lenye uwezo wa kuhifadhi chupa 300, sehemu nane za moto, pamoja na ngazi pana inayounganisha kila ghorofa ya nyumba kwa umaridadi. Lifti ya kibinafsi hutoa ufikiaji rahisi katika nyumba nzima.

Mtaro wa ghorofa ya nne ni wa kipekee sana—ni kimbilio la faragha la nje lililokamilishwa kwa sakafu ya bluestone na marumaru, mfumo wa sauti unaozunguka, mfumo wa kuyeyusha theluji, na chemchemi yenye mwanga hafifu iliyozungukwa na taa za kifahari za mithili ya taa za kale pamoja na miti iliyoangaziwa kwa uzuri, ikiumba mazingira yenye joto na kuvutia baada ya jua kutua. Ni mahali pazuri pa kuwakaribisha wageni kwa chakula au kufurahia tu jioni tulivu juu ya jiji; eneo hili lina hisia za utulivu, ukaribu, na uchawi wa kweli.

Iliyoko katikati ya Upper East Side, 163 East 64th Street iko umbali mfupi kutoka Central Park, migahawa ya kiwango cha dunia, maduka ya kifahari, na baadhi ya taasisi za kitamaduni zinazoheshimika zaidi jijini.

Chama cha mtaa chenye juhudi husaidia kuhifadhi uzuri na uadilifu wa mtaa kupitia uhusiano wake na nyanja zote za serikali ya Jiji. Mtaa huu pia ni wa kipekee hasa kwa kuwa una taa 11 za barabarani zenye vimulika vya metal halide, vinavyowezesha mwangaza wa barabara kuwa mkali kwa kiwango cha kipekee.
