Karibu nyumbani katika nyumba hii nzuri ya chumba kimoja cha kulala na bafu moja, yenye ukubwa wa futi za mraba 885, iliyoko kwenye ghorofa ya 14 ya Riverwalk Court. Ina madirisha ya kioo kutoka sakafuni hadi dari kwenye pande mbili, pamoja na mandhari ya kuvutia ya East River na madaraja. Vyumba kama hiki havipatikani mara kwa mara. Vinapopatikana, unaelewa mara moja kwa nini.

Sebule ya kona yenye urefu wa futi 18 katika #14D ndiyo inayotangaza uzuri wa nyumba hii. Kuta mbili zenye madirisha kutoka sakafuni hadi dari huingiza mwanga kutoka pande mbili, na kwa urefu huu mandhari ya Queensboro Bridge, East River, na anga la Upper East Side inaonekana kwa upana wa kuvutia sana. Hiki ndicho chumba unachokifikiria unapokuwa mbali na nyumbani.

Eneo la kulia chakula liko pembeni mwa sebule, limepangwa kwenye kona yenye upana wa futi 10, likiwa na mwonekano wazi unaoelekea moja kwa moja kwenye madirisha. Nyuma yake kuna jiko la wazi la mpishi lenye kaunta za granite, vifaa vya chuma visivyoshika kutu, na nafasi ya kuhifadhi inayofanya nyumba ya chumba kimoja cha kulala ihisi kama makazi kamili. Chumba cha kulala ni sehemu ya faragha na utulivu, kikiwa kimetenganishwa na maeneo ya kuishi, chenye nafasi kubwa ya kabati na bafu la marumaru. Ukumbi wa kuingilia huunda mpaka halisi kati ya njia ya ukumbi na nyumba. Ukiongeza sakafu imara ya mbao, dari refu, na mashine ya kufua na kukausha iliyo ndani ya nyumba, maisha ya kila siku hapa huwa mepesi na yenye starehe.

Maboresho ya hivi karibuni katika #14D yanajumuisha sakafu mpya ya mbao iliyowekwa katika nyumba nzima, kuongezwa kwa laini ya umeme kwa ajili ya jiko la induction, vifaa vipya kabisa, na mapazia mapya ya madirisha.

Riverwalk Court, iliyokamilika mwaka 2008 na kuendelezwa na Related Companies, ndiyo jengo kuu katika mkusanyiko wa majengo tisa wa Riverwalk. Costas Kondylis and Partners walilisanifu kwa mpangilio wa ngazi na madirisha mengi ya kona, na matokeo yake yanaonekana wazi katika nyumba kama hii. Jengo hili linatoa huduma kamili: mlinzi na mhudumu wa mapokezi saa 24, kituo cha mazoezi chenye studio ya yoga, chumba cha kuchezea watoto, sebule ya burudani, paa lenye mandhari ya digrii 360, hifadhi ya baiskeli, na chumba cha vifurushi. Wanyama vipenzi wanakaribishwa.

Roosevelt Island ina urefu wa maili mbili na upana wa futi 800 katika sehemu yake pana zaidi, ikiwa imezungukwa na East River kati ya Midtown Manhattan na Queens. Ni kama mji mdogo badala ya kuwa mtaa wa kawaida, ingawa iko ndani ya New York City. Wakazi hutembea kwenye njia ya pembezoni mwa mto, huendesha baiskeli kwenye mzunguko wa njia za kijani, na hutumia muda katika FDR Four Freedoms Park, kumbukumbu ya kipekee na tulivu iliyoundwa na Louis Kahn kwenye ncha ya kusini ya kisiwa. Kampasi ya Cornell Tech ilifunguliwa mwaka 2017 na imeleta nguvu na shughuli zaidi katika jamii ya kisiwa. Kwa usafiri wa umma, treni ya F huondoka kutoka kituo cha Roosevelt Island, na tramu ya angani huunganisha moja kwa moja na 60th na Second ndani ya takribani dakika nne. NYC Ferry huongeza chaguo jingine. Kwa mambo mengine yote, Midtown East na Upper East Side ziko umbali wa dakika chache, na kadiri muda unavyopita, wakazi wanagundua kuwa hawazihitaji sana kama walivyotarajia.

Welcome home to this beautiful, 885sf one-bedroom, one bath home on the 14th floor of Riverwalk Court with floor-to-ceiling windows on two sides, and sparkling East River and bridge views. Apartments like this don't come up often. When they do, you understand immediately why.

The 18-foot corner living room in #14D is where this apartment announces itself. Two walls of floor-to-ceiling windows bring in light from two directions, and at this height the views sweep across the Queensboro Bridge, the East River, and the Upper East Side skyline in a way that mesmerizes. This is the room you think about when you're not home.

The dining area sits just off the living room, carved out from the corner at 10 feet wide, with a clear sightline through to the windows. Behind it, an open chef's kitchen with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and the kind of storage that makes a one-bedroom feel like a proper home. The bedroom is a retreat: quiet, separated from the living areas, with generous closet space and a marble bath. An entry foyer creates a real threshold between the hall and the apartment. Add in solid hardwood floors, high ceilings, and in-unit washer/dryer, and the daily experience of living here is easy.

Recent improvements to #14D include new hardwood flooring installed throughout, added electric line to support an induction stove, brand new appliances, and new window blinds.

Riverwalk Court, completed in 2008 and developed by Related Companies, is the flagship building in the nine-building Riverwalk complex. Costas Kondylis and Partners designed it with a stepped plan and abundant corner windows, and the results are evident in units like this one. The building runs full service: 24-hour doorman and concierge, a fitness center with yoga studio, children's playroom, entertainment lounge, roof deck with 360-degree views, bike storage, and a package room. Pets welcome.

Two miles long, 800 feet wide at its broadest, anchored in the East River between Midtown Manhattan and Queens, Roosevelt Island is less like a neighborhood and more like a small town that happens to sit inside New York City. Residents walk the riverfront promenade, bike the greenway loop, and spend time at FDR Four Freedoms Park, Louis Kahn's quietly extraordinary memorial at the island's southern tip. The Cornell Tech campus opened in 2017 and has brought more energy to the Island community. For transit, the F train runs from Roosevelt Island station, and the aerial tram connects directly to 60th and Second in about four minutes. The NYC Ferry adds another option. For everything else: Midtown East and the Upper East Side are minutes away, and increasingly, residents find they don't need them as much as they expected.
