Karibu 930 St. Nicholas Avenue, Ghorofa ya 54 — nyumba pana yenye vyumba vitatu vya kulala, katika jengo la kifahari la kabla ya vita lenye lifti, linalosimamiwa vizuri, hali thabiti kifedha, mwanga mwingi, na haiba halisi isiyoweza kutengenezwa.

Madoado ya awali ya mapambo yamehifadhiwa, sakafu za mbao ngumu zimerejeshwa, na tabaka za rangi ya zamani zimepakuliwa kwa uangalifu kutoka kwenye mbao na milango ya vioo ili kurejesha uzuri wake wa awali. Matokeo yake ni nyumba yenye joto, muundo wa kuvutia, na utu katika kila sehemu inayofaa.

Bado kuna fursa kwa mmiliki anayefuata kuifanya iwe yake, lakini uzuri wa awali tayari upo. Maboresho machache ya urembo yanaweza kuleta tofauti kubwa, huku mwelekeo wa mashariki wa nyumba ukihakikisha kuwa nafasi hiyo imejaa mwanga wa asili siku nzima. Kwa ujumla, hisia zake ziko mahali fulani kati ya mtindo wa kawaida wa kabla ya vita na mvuto wa zamani usio na ulazima wa kujionyesha — kamili kwa yeyote anayevutiwa na samani za Mid-Century, vitu vya kale, au nyumba zenye hisia ya kuwa zimekusanywa na kutumika kwa muda.

Mahali ilipo ni sehemu nyingine kubwa ya mvuto wake. Ikiwa imejisitiri katika Coogan’s Bluff, mojawapo ya maeneo ya Upper Manhattan ambayo hayapewi sifa inayostahili, jengo hili liko karibu na njia kadhaa za treni za chini ya ardhi, zikiwemo treni ya C katika 155th Street, treni ya 1 katika 157th Street, na kituo cha treni za mwendo wa haraka A/B/D katika 145th Street.

Na kisha kuna kitongoji chenyewe: Highbridge Park, Morris Jumel Mansion, Jackie Robinson Park, Yankee Stadium, Sugar Hill Children’s Museum, pamoja na mkusanyiko unaokua wa mikahawa, hoteli za chakula, na baa nzuri za mitaani kando ya Broadway zinazolipa eneo hili nguvu na haiba yake.

Jengo hili pia lina bustani nzuri ya jamii inayoangalia Edgecombe Avenue — mojawapo ya maelezo yasiyotarajiwa yanayofanya eneo hili lihisi kuwa la kipekee zaidi.

Maonyesho yanafanyika kwa miadi ya mapema pekee (ikiwemo Open House).

Welcome to 930 St.Nicholas Avenue, Apartment 54 — a spacious three bedroom in a well run, elegant pre-war elevator building with solid financials, great light, and real character that can’t be manufactured.

Original moldings were preserved, hardwood floors restored, and layers of old paint carefully sanded off the wood and glass doors to bring back their original beauty. The result is a home with warmth, texture, and personality in all the right places.

There’s still an opportunity for the next owner to make it their own, but the original is already here. A little cosmetic updating could go a long way, while the apartment’s eastern exposure keeps the space filled with natural light throughout the day. The overall feel lands somewhere between classic prewar and effortlessly vintage — perfect for anyone drawn to Mid Century pieces, antiques, or homes with a collected, lived-in feel.

The location is another major part of the appeal. Tucked into Coogan’s Bluff, one of upper Manhattan’s most underrated pockets, the building sits near multiple subway lines including the C train at 155th Street, the 1 train at 157th, and the A/B/D express hub at 145th Street.

And then there’s the neighborhood itself: Highbridge Park, the Morris Jumel Mansion, Jackie Robinson Park, Yankee Stadium, the Sugar Hill Children’s Museum, plus a growing mix of great local cafés, restaurants, and bars along Broadway that give the area its energy and charm.

The building also has a beautiful community garden overlooking Edgecombe Avenue — one of those unexpected details that makes this place feel even more special.

Showings by an advance appointment only (including Open House).
