Karibu katika Apartementi za Garrison, moja ya majengo ya makazi ya kabla ya vita vilivyokuwa na umuhimu mkubwa na wa kihistoria katika Hamilton Heights. Iliyopewa umiliki wa pamoja mwaka 1929 — ya kwanza kwenye Sugar Hill — hii ni alama ya majengo ya hadhi, yenye vitengo 29, na ni jiwe la Beaux-Arts la ghorofa sita ambalo mapokezi yake ya heshima yanadhihirisha mara moja kwamba umefika mahali maalum kweli.

Iliyotambuliwa na NYC na kuorodheshwa katika Registri ya Kitaifa ya Makazi ya Kihistoria, Garrison ilikuwa kivutio kwa wakali wa Renaissance ya Harlem. Mshairi Countee Cullen aliita nyumbani, vivyo hivyo na Jules Bledsoe — nyota wa kwanza mkubwa wa operare ya Waafrika Wentonji nchini Marekani na sauti ya asili ya Ol' Man River katika Show Boat ya Jerome Kern — pamoja na Askofu Adam Clayton Powell Sr. na mwanawe, Mbunge Adam Clayton Powell Jr. na Waharlem wengi wengine maarufu. Ndani ya kuta hizi, Langston Hughes na Zora Neale Hurston walishirikiana katika Mule Bone, kazi yao maarufu na ya pekee ya muvi.

Jumba la 54 ni aina ya makazi ambayo wanunuzi wengi wa Manhattan wanaweza tu kutamani kuyapata. Ni makazi ya ndani ya vyumba vinne, yenye urefu wa dari wa futi 9.5, milango ya mbao ya zamani, mapambo ya kizamani mazuri, na sebule iliyo na wainscoting - maelezo ya usanifu yanayoashiria ufundi ambao hauwezi nakiliwa leo. Mpangilio wa sebule na chumba cha kulia una toa urahisi wa kurejeshwa katika mpangilio wake wa awali kama vyumba viwili vya heshima na rasmi - bora kwa wale wanaopenda kuburudika au tu wanataka kuwa katika mazingira ambayo yanajisikia kweli kama nyumbani. Ikiwa na vyumba vinne na mabafu mawili, apartimenti hii inatoa lile jambo lililo na thamani zaidi ya Manhattan: nafasi halisi.

Vifaa vya jengo vinajumuisha lifti, usalama wa video wa ButterflyMX, chumba cha uhifadhi, hifadhi ya baiskeli, chumba cha kufulia, bustani iliyopangiliwa vizuri ya wanahisa, na msimamizi anayekaa ndani. Tafadhali kumbuka: paka zinakaribishwa; hakuna mbwa, hakuna upangaji, hakuna mashine ya kufulia ndani ya chumba.

Mahali hapa ni bora kwa sababu ya usafiri wake rahisi na chaguzi za shughuli za nje. Takriban vizuizi kadhaa kuna Parki ya Riverbank yenye hekari 28 kwenye Hudson, na Parki ya Jackie Robinson iliyorekebishwa upya yenye hekari 11, ikiwa na vifaa vya mazoezi ya ndani na nje, viwanja vya baseball, viwanja vya mpira wa kikapu na mpira wa wavu, na bandshell kwa ajili ya matamasha ya jamii. Kituo cha subway cha 145th Street A/B/C/D kiko vizuizi kimoja mbali, kikifanya Manhattan ya kati kuwa dakika 15 tu kutoka mlango wako.

Kitongoji kinaungwa mkono na taasisi kadhaa bora za kitamaduni na kielimu: Chuo Kikuu cha Mji wa New York, Chuo Kikuu cha Columbia kilicho kituo kimoja cha subway mbali, Dance Theatre ya Harlem, Shule ya Sanaa ya Harlem, Jumba la Watoto la Sugar Hill la Sanaa na Hadithi na Makumbusho na Maktaba ya Kituo cha Wahispania - moja ya makusanyo bora duniani ya sanaa ya Kihispania na ya Amerika ya Kusini.

Maonyesho ni kwa siku na muda maalum pekee.

Welcome to The Garrison Apartments, one of Hamilton Heights' most distinguished and historically significant prewar residential buildings. Converted into a cooperative in 1929 — the first on Sugar Hill — this intimate, 29-unit landmark is a six-story Beaux-Arts gem whose gracious lobby immediately signals that you've arrived somewhere truly special.

NYC-landmarked and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, The Garrison was a magnet for the luminaries of the Harlem Renaissance. Poet Countee Cullen called it home, as did Jules Bledsoe — the first major Black opera star in the United States and the original voice behind Ol' Man River in Jerome Kern's Show Boat — along with the Reverend Adam Clayton Powell Sr. and his son, Congressman Adam Clayton Powell Jr. and many other noted Harlemites. Within these walls, Langston Hughes and Zora Neale Hurston collaborated on Mule Bone, their celebrated and only joint theatrical work.

Apartment 54 is the kind of home most Manhattan buyers can only dream of finding. A rare true four-bedroom residence, it offers 9.5-foot ceilings, original wood-paneled doors, exquisite period molding, and a wainscoted living room — architectural details that speak to a craftsmanship simply not replicated today. The open living and dining room layout offers the flexibility to be restored to its original configuration as two gracious, formal rooms — ideal for those who entertain or simply want to be in a setting that really feels like a home. With four bedrooms and two bathrooms, this apartment delivers that most coveted of Manhattan luxuries: genuine space.

Building amenities include an elevator, ButterflyMX video security, a storage room, bike storage, a laundry room, a beautifully maintained shareholder garden, and a live-in superintendent. Please note: cats are welcome; no dogs, no subletting, no in-unit washer/dryer.

The location is exceptional for its convenient transportation and outdoor activity choices. Just blocks away are the 28-acre Riverbank State Park on the Hudson, and the newly renovated 11-acre Jackie Robinson Park, complete with indoor and outdoor gym facilities, baseball diamonds, basketball and volleyball courts, and a bandshell for community concerts. The 145th Street A/B/C/D express subway station is one block away, putting Midtown Manhattan just 15 minutes from your door.

The neighborhood is anchored by several outstanding cultural and educational institutions: the City University of New York, Columbia University just one subway stop away, the Dance Theatre of Harlem, the Harlem School of the Arts, Sugar Hill Children's Museum of Art & Storytelling and the Hispanic Society Museum & Library - one of the world's premier collections of Spanish and Latin American art.

Showings are by appointment only.
