Hapa kuna mchanganyiko adimu wa mvuto wa kisasa na wa wazi wa makazi ya katikati ya jiji, pamoja na ukubwa, utulivu na nafasi pana za sehemu za juu za jiji — makazi ya kuvutia, yenye nafasi kubwa, yaliyo kwenye ghorofa ya bustani na yanayofanana na loft, yakiwa na baraza na mvuto wa kipekee. Yamekarabatiwa kwa upendo na mmiliki wake mwenye kipawa, ambaye ni mbunifu wa majengo, makazi haya ya kipekee ni mojawapo ya nyumba bora zenye mpangilio wazi utakazopata karibu na Marcus Garvey Park. Juu yako, dari hupanda hadi futi 10; chini ya miguu yako kuna mbao pana za mwaloni zenye mwonekano wa kuvutia; na kila upande unaangalia, kuna mtindo na usanifu wa kisasa, maridadi na wa kiwango cha juu.

Sebule/chumba cha kulia ni eneo kubwa lililo wazi na linalofaa kwa burudani, likipambwa na ukuta wa kuvutia kutoka sakafuni hadi darini wenye kabati zilizojengwa ndani zinazovutia na zenye matumizi mengi. (Jaribu kupata kabati la kuingia ndani lililofichwa na ofisi ndogo ya kuingia!) Mandhari maridadi ya miti na bustani huangaza eneo hili lote na kulipa hisia maalumu ya nyumba ya kujitegemea. Likiwa na baraza zuri, la faragha na lenye majani mengi, makazi haya yanafurahia manufaa ya maisha ya ndani na nje. Kahawa za asubuhi, divai za jioni na milo ya nje katikati ya miti na mimea huongeza nafasi na kuleta utulivu, mwanga na uchangamfu wa kijani kibichi.

Jiko lililo wazi ni la kupendeza — lina kaunta ya kulia chakula, makabati maalumu, vifaa vya kisasa vya ubora wa juu, kaunta nyingi zenye vichwa vya mawe, pamoja na muundo mzuri na wenye matumizi ambao unakamilisha kwa umakini makazi haya yenye uchangamfu na yanayovutia macho.

Bafu kubwa na zuri, lililobuniwa kwa msukumo wa spa, lina bomba la mvua la kuingia ndani, nafasi na vifaa vya kuhifadhia vya kuvutia, vigae vya kuvutia na mtindo wa kiwango cha juu unaoboresha zaidi hali ya makazi haya yenye fahari.

Chumba kikuu cha kulala ni bora kwa ukubwa na usanifu. Ni chenye nafasi ya kitanda cha ukubwa wa King na tulivu; makazi haya yenye mwanga yana mandhari zaidi ya baraza lenye majani, kabati zilizojengwa ndani zenye mvuto, nafasi ya kuweka eneo la kukaa, na kabati la kuingia ndani litakalokuacha mdomo wazi.

Makazi haya ya kipekee yaliyobuniwa na mtaalamu yanapendeza sana — mtindo wake wa ubunifu na usanifu wake makini vinaendana kikamilifu, vikiboresha ukubwa wake wa kuvutia na utulivu wake wa kustarehesha. Mifumo ya mabomba na umeme imefanyiwa ukarabati. Viyoyozi vimewekwa ukutani, hivyo madirisha makubwa ya makazi haya ya kona yenye mwanga wa jua hayazuiliwi. Gharama ya matengenezo inajumuisha joto, maji ya moto na nafasi ya kuhifadhi vitu; hapa maisha mazuri yanapatikana kwa wingi.

Yakiwa yamejisitiri kwa utulivu kwenye ghorofa nzuri ya bustani ya jengo lake linalopendwa, karibu na Marcus Garvey Park, makazi haya ya kipekee yenye baraza yanafurahia manufaa yote ya anwani ya Maple Plaza inayokubali wanyama vipenzi na yenye huduma kamili — jengo lenye hali nzuri ya kifedha, la soko huria, na Bodi inayoshirikiana kwa urahisi na wakazi. Yakiwa na nafasi yake ya kuhifadhi vitu na chumba cha kufulia cha jengo jirani kabisa, makazi haya yaliyobuniwa kwa ustadi yako karibu na bustani ya ndani ya jengo, gymnasium ($10 kwa mwezi), chumba cha michezo, chumba cha baiskeli na maegesho ya jengo (orodha ya kusubiri na ada).

Karibu kuna Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, na ufikiaji wa maeneo bora ya utamaduni, migahawa, ununuzi, elimu na burudani. Usafiri ni rahisi kutokana na ukaribu wa njia za treni za 2, 3, 4, 5 na 6, Metro-North, pamoja na njia nyingi za mabasi. Maisha hapa ni rahisi, yenye manufaa na ya kufurahisha.

Kuna hazina ya kipekee karibu na bustani — yenye mtindo na haiba — inayokungoja, ikiwa na siku za kupendeza barazani na usiku maridadi na wa kustarehesha. Njoo uigundue. Njoo uihisi. Njoo uishi humo.
