Fikiria kuwa na nyumba nzuri mjini NYC — na bado kuwa na uwezo wa kununua nyumba kusini mwa Ufaransa. Unadhani ninakazana? Sicheki kuhusu pesa. Njoo ujisikie sophistication na elegance ambapo hakuna kipengele au gharama iliyosazwa. Na unapoona kuna mshangao zaidi, mwingine anajitokeza. Kwa nini? Kwa sababu apartment hii ina balconies nyingi za Juliette — kutoka katika Chumba cha Kula, Chumba cha Kulala, na ndiyo, hata jikoni. Chumba kikubwa cha kulala 12'4" X 18'1 kina makabati mawili makubwa, na Juliette Balcony. Jikoni ya kisasa iliyokamilishwa ina ya Caesarstone Quartz countertops, friji ya Liebherr iliyo ndani, jiko la Bertazzoni, na dishwasher ya Blomberg — yote yamemalizika kwa tiles za sakafu za porcelain, ambazo zinaendana kwa urahisi na bafuni pia. Ndani ya foyer kubwa 11’5 X 6’11, mmiliki ameweza kuunda nafasi kwa ajili ya Electrolux Washer/Dryer, iliyofichwa nyuma ya milango ya oak veneer iliyotengenezwa kwa kawaida. Mifumo ya kupitisha maji na umeme imesasishwa ambapo inahitajika. Sakafu za hardwood za Maple zenye rangi ya tajiri zinatembea katika urefu wa apartment, zikiwa zimejengwa juu ya tabaka mbili za plywood zikiwa na mpira wa kunyonya kelele chini — kipengele unachohisi kabla ya kukiona. Foyer inakukaribisha kupitia arch ya kuvutia inayoingia katika Chumba cha Kula 13'1 X 21'9 — kunakua ni kumbukumbu ya zamani yenye heshima. Kabati kubwa la kuingia linakamilisha eneo hilo, kubwa kiasi kwamba baadhi ya wamiliki wamebadilisha kuwa ofisi ya nyumbani. Barabara nzuri iliyojaa miti yenye mandhari ya mto wa msimu. Hapa kuna thamani halisi, elegance, na aina ya utulivu inayofanya kuondoka kuwa hiari. Lakini utatoka — kufikia tiketi yako kwenda nyumbani hiyo ya pili kusini mwa Ufaransa. Riviera ilijengwa mwaka 1911, ina vitengo 202, ni jengo lenye huduma kamili na ulinzi wa muda wote na ina mtaalam wa nyumbani.

Jengo hili liko karibu sana na treni ya nambari 1 kwenye Mtaa wa 157th, treni ya C kwenye Mtaa wa 155th, pamoja na mistari ya basi M4, M5 na BX6 kwenye kona ya Broadway. Ni block moja tu kutoka mtaa wa 158 hadi West Side Hwy. Njoo ujisikie jengo hili la kihistoria la kabla ya vita, ambalo kwa kweli linakurejesha nyuma wakati. Pied-a`-terre inakaribishwa. Wazazi wanavyonunua kwa watoto, hakuna tatizo. Wanyama wa nyumbani wanakaribishwa. Matengenezo ya chini.
