Inapatikana mara chache, nyumba hii ya kifahari ya ghorofa ya juu yenye matuta, vyumba vinne vya kulala na bafu tatu—duplex “angani”—lazima ionekane ili uiamini.

Iko kwenye kona ya kusini-mashariki ya jengo, ikiwa na mandhari pana ya jiji na mto, na hujazwa na mwanga wa jua siku nzima. Mpangilio na mtiririko wake ni wa kipekee, ukitoa mazingira bora kwa maisha ya kila siku yenye ustaarabu au kwa kuwapokea wageni kwa kiwango kikubwa.

Eneo kuu la kuishi limejengwa kuzunguka sebule kubwa ya kuvutia inayoungana bila mshono na mtaro wa kupendeza unaoelekea kusini—mahali pazuri pa kunywa kahawa ya asubuhi, vinywaji wakati wa machweo, au kufurahia tu mandhari ya anga la jiji. Jiko lenye madirisha limewekwa kwa ustadi kwa ajili ya kuwapokea wageni, huku chumba kikubwa cha kulala kwenye ghorofa kuu kikitumika kwa urahisi pia kama chumba cha mapumziko, ofisi ya nyumbani au makazi ya mlezi wa mtoto, kikiwa na bafu lake kamili. Sehemu ndogo na tulivu ya kusomea imejificha nyuma ya ngazi, ikiwa mahali pazuri pa kupumzika na kitabu unachokipenda.

Sehemu ya ghorofa ya juu imetengwa kwa ajili ya makazi binafsi. Chumba kikuu cha kulala kilicho kwenye kona kina mwanga wa kuvutia na mandhari nzuri ya mto, kabati kubwa za California Closets, pamoja na bafu la kifahari la ndani lenye vifaa vitano. Vyumba viwili vingine vikubwa vya kulala vinashirikiana bafu kamili lililo katika eneo linalofaa, vikitoa faragha na starehe kwa familia au wageni. Ghorofa ya juu pia hutoa ufikiaji rahisi wa kuingiza masanduku unaporejea kutoka likizo, kupitia mlango wake unaoelekea kwenye korido ya jengo.

Vumalizio vilivyoboreshwa kote ndani vinajumuisha sakafu za mwaloni mwekundu zilizotiwa rangi nzito, ukuta wa kabati la vitabu lililojengwa ndani unaovutia, mfumo mkuu wa kupasha na kupoza hewa, mashine ya kufulia na kukaushia iliyo ndani ya nyumba, pamoja na nafasi ya kipekee ya kuhifadhi vitu.

Likiwa limejengwa mwaka wa 1963, The Gracie Towne House ni jengo la baada ya vita linalosimamiwa vizuri na kutoa huduma kamili, likiwa na muundo wa umiliki wa ushirika wenye unyumbufu, ruhusa ya kukodisha kwa muda usio na kikomo, bila ukodishaji wa ardhi, na HAKUNA IDHINI YA BODI inayohitajika kwa wamiliki. Wamiliki pia wanaweza kubadilisha hisa zao za ushirika kuwa umiliki wa condominium—jambo adimu sana na linalotafutwa mno Manhattan.

Huduma za jengo hili zinajumuisha wahudumu wa milangoni saa 24, msimamizi anayeishi ndani ya jengo, kituo cha mazoezi, maeneo binafsi ya kuhifadhi vitu na baiskeli, chumba cha kufulia kwenye ghorofa, gereji ya maegesho iliyo kwenye eneo la jengo, pamoja na chumba cha vifurushi chenye sehemu ya kuhifadhia vyakula kwenye jokofu. Na ndiyo, wanyama wa kufugwa wanaruhusiwa.

Likifurahia eneo bora karibu kabisa na Carl Schurz Park, Asphalt Green na East River Esplanade, jengo hili linatoa maisha bora kabisa ya Upper East Side, likiwa na ufikiaji rahisi wa treni ya Q ya Second Avenue katika Mtaa wa 86, kituo cha NYC Ferry cha East 90th St., duka la vyakula na soko la kosher lililo moja kwa moja upande wa pili wa barabara, pamoja na maduka ya kahawa, migahawa ya eneo hilo, ununuzi na burudani.

Likichanganya mandhari za kuvutia, maisha bora ya ndani na nje, unyumbufu wa kipekee na thamani ya hali ya juu, fursa hii ya nyumba ya ghorofa ya juu ni nadra sana—huibuka mara moja tu.
