Imejaa Mwanga wa Jua, Chumba Kimoja cha Kulala Kilichokarabatiwa Kikamilifu katika London Terrace

Jambo la kwanza utakalogundua ni mwanga. Makazi nambari 16J yanaelekea moja kwa moja kusini kutoka ghorofa ya kumi na sita ya London Terrace, yakipokea mwanga wa jua siku nzima kupitia madirisha ya zamani ya kufunguka, ambayo hubaki bila kizuizi kabisa kutokana na mfumo wa HVAC uliowekwa ndani ya kuta. Chini ya madirisha yako kuna utulivu wa bustani binafsi maarufu za jengo hili, badala ya kelele za barabarani.

Ukarabati wa kina umekamilika hivi karibuni. Jikoni lililo wazi lina kisiwa cha marumaru kinachofaa kabisa kwa kuwakaribisha wageni, jokofu la Liebherr, jiko la Bertazzoni, na mashine ya kuosha vyombo ya Miele iliyowekwa ndani ya makabati yaliyotengenezwa maalum. Chumba kikuu ni kikubwa vya kutosha kuwa na eneo halisi la kulia chakula pamoja na eneo la starehe la kukaa, likikamilishwa na sehemu ya baa iliyojengwa ndani yenye rafu za kioo. Bafu limekarabatiwa upya kabisa kwa vigae vya kijani na krimu vilivyopangwa kwa mtindo wa ubao wa mchezo, sakafu ya marumaru yenye umbo la pembe sita, vifaa vya Kohler vya chrome iliyong’arishwa, bafu la kuogea lililozungushiwa kioo, na sehemu ya kuweka vifaa iliyojengwa ndani ya bafu. Chumba cha kulala kinachoelekea kusini kina nafasi ya kitanda cha ukubwa wa king na bado hubaki na nafasi ya kutosha. Uhifadhi haukuachwa kama jambo la baadaye: kuna kabati tano kwa jumla, zikiwemo kabati tatu za kuingia ndani. Dari zenye mihimili, mapambo ya ukingo wa dari, na sakafu za mbao ngumu zinaendeleza haiba ya jengo la kabla ya vita katika nyumba nzima.

Ghorofa za chini, London Terrace hutoa huduma ambazo karibu hakuna jengo jingine linazoweza kutoa. Jengo hili la ushirika lililojengwa mwaka 1930 na kuchukua eneo zima la mtaa lina mlinzi wa mlangoni wa saa 24, meneja mkazi, bwawa maarufu lenye urefu wa futi 75 la kuogelea ndani lenye joto, pamoja na sauna na vyumba vya mvuke, kituo cha mazoezi, ekari moja ya bustani binafsi zilizopambwa kwa mandhari, staha ya paa yenye mimea na mandhari pana kutoka Empire State Building hadi Mto Hudson, chumba cha baiskeli, chumba cha kufulia cha pamoja, na gereji ndani ya eneo. Wanyama wa kufugwa wanaruhusiwa.

Ni mtaa mmoja tu kutoka lango la 23rd Street la High Line, umezungukwa na wilaya ya maghala ya sanaa ya West Chelsea, huku Hudson River Park, Chelsea Market, na treni za C/E zikiwa umbali wa dakika chache tu. Hapa hakuna cha kufanya isipokuwa kuhamia.

Sun-Flooded, Fully Renovated One-Bedroom at London Terrace

The first thing you notice is the light. Residence 16J faces due south from the sixteenth floor of London Terrace, holding the sun all day through prewar casement windows that stay completely unobstructed thanks to through-wall HVAC. Below your windows: the quiet of the building's famous private gardens rather than a street.

A painstaking renovation has been recently completed. The open kitchen features a marble island ideal for entertaining, Liebherr refrigerator, Bertazzoni range, and Miele dishwasher set into custom cabinetry. The main room is generous enough for a true dining area and a gracious living area, complemented by a built-in bar niche with glass shelving. The bathroom was gut-renovated in green-and-cream checkerboard tile with hexagonal marble floors, polished chrome Kohler fixtures, a glass-enclosed shower, and a built-in shower niche. The south-facing bedroom takes a king bed with room to spare. Storage is no afterthought: five closets in all, including three walk-ins. Beamed ceilings, crown moldings, and hardwood floors carry the prewar bones throughout.

Downstairs, London Terrace does what almost no other building can. The 1930 full-block cooperative offers a 24-hour doorman, live-in resident manager, a landmark 75-foot heated indoor pool with sauna and steam rooms, a fitness center, an acre of private landscaped gardens, a planted roof deck with panoramic views from the Empire State Building to the Hudson, bike room, central laundry, and an on-site garage. Pet friendly.

One block from the High Line's 23rd Street entrance, surrounded by the West Chelsea gallery district, with Hudson River Park, Chelsea Market, and the C/E trains all minutes away. There is nothing to do here but move in.
