Tunaithamini jinsi ilivyo vigumu kupata nyumba sahihi kabisa. Inahisi kama unafanya makubaliano kila wakati katika mambo yaliyo na umuhimu kwako. Unahitaji nafasi. Sio tu idadi ya vyumba, bali ukubwa unafanya tofauti. Mpangilio pia, unapaswa kuwa mzuri kwa urahisi na faraja. Kwa maisha ya kila siku. Wakati una familia na marafiki. Au wakati uko peke yako, kupumzika, kufanya kazi, au kusoma. Huenda muda umewadia wa kutembelea 143 Milton Street. Imefanyiwa ukarabati wa miaka mingi na sasa iko tayari kuwa nyumba yenye furaha kwa wale wanaochoka na kutafuta. Nyumba hii ya ghorofa nne inatoa kina, saizi, na upana wa kipekee ambao ni vigumu kupatikana katika makazi, hata zaidi kwa nyumba. Lakini tofauti na nyumba za miji, kuishi hapa sio sawa na kuishi kwa urefu mkubwa sana. Na ikilinganishwa na condominium mpya, hii ni bei rahisi! Lakini hebu tuanze kuanzia mwanzo. Unageuka kwenye Milton Street iliyo na miti na yenye tulivu, umbali wa block moja kutoka kituo kikuu cha jirani, ambacho ni makutano ya Greenpoint na Manhattan Avenues. Katika jiji la saruji kama NYC, mvuto wa mbele wa nyumba mara nyingi sio jambo. Lakini katika hali hii, ni kweli. Mbele ya nyumba kuna bustani nzuri ya kibinafsi, iliyopandwa, ikitoa mandhari. Ilijengwa mwaka 1894 kama moja ya saba, nyumba ina sura ya mtindo wa Queen Anne iliyopambanuliwa na matofali mekundu ya Kirumi na jiwe. Juu ya chumba cha kulala, oriel inakaa kwenye ghorofa ya pili, kisha loggia juu yake. Unapoingia, unakaribishwa na sehemu ya kukalia/kusoma inayotazama dirisha kubwa na bustani. Kisha, sebuleni na eneo la chakula kuna hisia nzuri za nafasi, mwangaza, na ukubwa. Unapoendelea kwenye korido: kuna benchi, kabati la koti, na meza ya kuandika. Jiko lenye mwangaza na lenye nafasi kubwa linafunga ghorofa vizuri. Limejaa vifaa vya Miele, likizungukwa na samani nzuri za giza zenye ubora na meja ya jiwe la mwanga. Katika ghorofa ya pili, kuna chumba cha kulala cha nyuma. Chumba cha kulala kinachotazama bustani kiko upande wa pili, wakati bafu kubwa ya marumaru inafunguka kwenye ukanda. Ghorofa ya juu ina chumba kikubwa zaidi kwa kina. Kama kile kilichopo chini, kinakabili upande wa barabara. Lakini badala ya dirisha kubwa la ghorofa ya chini na viti vya dirisha vilivyotolewa na oriel, hiki kinafunguka kwenye loggia ya kupendeza. Pamoja na bafu nyingine ya marumaru. Ghorofa ya chini ina nafasi ya kipekee inayoweza kubadilika, iliyopangwa kama chumba cha familia/den/chumba cha wageni chenye ufikiaji wake wa mbele kwenye bustani. Pia inajumuisha baa na bafu kubwa kama spa nyuma. Kwa kuongeza, ghorofa hiyo pia ina kabati la kusafisha lenye mashine ya kufulia/kukausha. Vipengele vingine vya nyumba ni pamoja na lifti inayohudumia ghorofa zote, viwango vya juu na sakafu pana za kuni kote, kiyoyozi cha kati, na mfumo wa alama. Nyumba hii ya kukodisha inamsubiri mmiliki wake mpya mwenye bahati. Iko ndani ya Wilaya ya Kihistoria ya Greenpoint, usafiri rahisi, maduka ya vyakula, maduka na maduka ya umiliki wa kizazi yamejaa. Mipango ya wazi iko umbali wa kutembea haraka, na zaidi zinakuja. Na tofauti na mitaa mingi, bado haijafikia uwezo wake wa juu - hivyo, kuifanya iwe uwekezaji mzuri pia! Kamata fursa hii adimu. Ione leo na uhamie kesho.

We appreciate how difficult it is to find just the right home. It feels like you’re always compromising on matters that are important to you. Space, you need space. Not just the number of rooms, but sizes make a difference. The layout, too, has to flow well for convenience and ease. For everyday living. For when you have family and friends. Or when you are alone, resting, working, or studying. Perhaps it’s time to visit 143 Milton Street. Having just undergone a multi-year renovation, it’s ready to become the happy home for those weary of the search. This four-story row house offers the rare depth, volume, and width that are hard to find in a condominium, much less a house. But unlike townhouses, living is not nearly as dauntingly vertical. And compared to a new condo, this one’s a steal! But let’s start from the beginning. You turn to the beautifully tree-lined and serene Milton Street, one block away from the main neighborhood hub, which is the intersection of Greenpoint and Manhattan Avenues. In a concrete jungle like NYC, curb appeal is rarely a thing. But in this instance, it is. In front of the house is a lovely private, planted, front garden setting the scene. Built in 1894 as one of seven, the house features a Queen Anne-style fac¸ade adorned with red roman brick and stone. Above the parlor, an oriel is perched on the second floor, then a loggia above it. Upon entry, one is greeted with a sitting/reading nook overlooking the bay window and garden. Next, open living and dining gives a calming sense of space, light, and volume. Proceeding along a corridor: a bench, coat closet, and a writing desk. A bright and spacious windowed kitchen gracefully finishes the floor. It is equipped with Miele appliances, surrounded by lovely light gray custom cabinetry and light stone countertop. On the second floor, one finds a rear secondary bedroom. A garden-facing full-width bedroom is located opposite, while a full marble bathroom opens onto the landing. The top floor houses the largest of the bedrooms in depth. Like the one below, it is street-facing. But in lieu of the lower floor’s bay window and window seating courtesy of the oriel, this one opens onto a charming loggia. En suite, another marble bath. The lowest level boasts a uniquely flexible space, configured as a family/den/guest room with its own front access to the garden. It also showcases a bar and an enormous, spa-like bathroom in the rear. In addition, the floor also houses the laundry closet with a washer/dryer. Other features of the house include an elevator servicing all floors, high ceilings and wide wooden floors throughout, central air-conditioning, and an alarm system. This turn-key home awaits its lucky new owner. Located in Greenpoint Historic District, convenient transportation, groceries, shops, and individual, generationally-owned stores still abound. Parks are within quick walking distance, with more to come. And unlike most neighborhoods, it has yet to reach its maximum potential–hence, making it a great investment to boot! Seize this rare opportunity. See it today and move-in tomorrow.
