Imeundwa kwa ustadi wa hali ya juu na kampuni ya ubunifu iliyoshinda tuzo, Drake/Anderson, nyumba hii iliyochapishwa na kubuniwa na kampuni iliyoorodheshwa katika AD100 ilikuwa makazi binafsi ya mbunifu maarufu Caleb Anderson. Ikiwa tayari kabisa kwa kuhamia, kwa maana kamili ya neno hilo, inaunganisha kwa ustadi faini bora za kisasa na maelezo ya jadi ya kabla ya vita, yanayomuenzi mbunifu wa jengo hili, Emory Roth. Usanifu, faini, samani, mwangaza na teknolojia vimezingatiwa kama utunzi mmoja wa kisanaa.

Inauzwa ikiwa na samani zote, isipokuwa kazi zote za sanaa na vitu vya kale. Makazi haya ya kawaida yenye vyumba vitano, vyumba viwili vya kulala na bafu mbili yamepangwa upya na kujengwa upya kikamilifu, bila kumuachia mmiliki anayefuata jambo lolote la kutatua.

Ukarabati huu ulifika hadi kwenye nguzo za kuta, na unazidi kwa mbali yale yanayoonekana mara moja. Mifumo mipya kabisa ya mabomba na umeme, kiyoyozi cha kati, pamoja na mfumo mpana wa Crestron unaodhibiti mwangaza, sauti, video, kiyoyozi na mapazia ya madirisha, huunda miundombinu iliyo nyuma ya ndani zilizokamilishwa kwa kuta za plasta ya Kiveneti, mapambo ya plasta yaliyotengenezwa kwa mikono, vifaa maalum vya SA Baxter, hariri ya moiré na vifuniko vya ukuta vilivyopakwa rangi kwa mkono. Nyenzo hizo hujitokeza tena kutoka chumba kimoja hadi kingine kwa mitindo tofauti, zikileta hisia ya mwendelezo bila kufanya maeneo hayo yaonekane yanayofanana.

Sebule yenye mwangaza wa jua na utulivu, inayoelekea kusini, imepangwa kuzunguka mahali pa moto. Faini za rangi hafifu na samani za plasta zenye umbo la sanamu na mistari ya mikunjo huunda utofauti mtulivu dhidi ya vyumba vilivyo mbele yake. Jikoni hubadilisha kabisa mpangilio wa rangi, ikiunganisha graniti nyeusi iliyokolea na makabati maalum ya kifahari pamoja na jiko la La Cornue. Rangi hiyo nzito inaendelea hadi kwenye chumba cha kulia, ambako kuta zenye laki nyekundu kali na sakafu ya vigae vyekundu vya damu huunda mojawapo ya maeneo ya kipekee na ya asili zaidi katika nyumba hii.

Kila chumba cha kulala kina sifa yake ya kipekee kabisa. Chumba kikuu cha kulala kimezungukwa na hariri ya moiré ya samawati-kijivu na vifuniko vya ukuta vilivyopakwa rangi kwa mkono, na kuunda mahali pa mapumziko penye mvuto na hali ya kipekee. Kabati kubwa maalum linaelekea kwenye bafu la kuvutia la marumaru ya samawati-kijivu, lenye sakafu zenye joto, beseni la kuogea la kuloweka mwili na vifaa vya Waterworks.

Chumba cha pili cha kulala, ambacho kwa sasa kimepangwa kama maktaba, kina mwelekeo tofauti wenye rangi za ochre, vipengele vya travertine, samani za velveti, rafu maalum za vitabu na mwangaza uliochaguliwa kwa umakini. Bafu la marumaru ya rangi ya krimu, lililotengenezwa kwa ustadi wa hali ya juu na pia lenye vifaa vya Waterworks, linakamilisha sehemu hii ya makazi.

Jengo hili lililojengwa mwaka 1927 linatoa ukumbi unaosimamiwa saa 24 kwa siku, Meneja Mkazi anayeishi ndani ya jengo, kituo cha mazoezi, huduma za kufua nguo na sehemu za kuhifadhia. Wanyama vipenzi na nyumba za muda zinaruhusiwa, na jengo hili sasa linaruhusu mashine za kufua na kukausha nguo ndani ya vitengo.

Hakuna chochote kuhusu nyumba hii kinachoonekana kama mkusanyiko wa maboresho yaliyoongezwa hatua kwa hatua. Ustadi wake unatokana na ukamilifu wa utunzi wake. Kuanzia kazi za plasta na vifaa hadi samani zilizochaguliwa kwa umakini na faini ambazo tayari zimewekwa ndani ya vyumba, makazi haya yamebuniwa, kutekelezwa na kuwekewa samani kama kazi halisi ya sanaa.

Iko kwenye mojawapo ya barabara nzuri zaidi za Sutton Place, yenye miti pande zote mbili, umbali mfupi kutoka kwenye migahawa bora, maduka na uhai wa Midtown Manhattan. Makazi ya hadhi hii ya kipekee hujitokeza sokoni mara chache sana.

Tafadhali zingatia kwamba kuna kodi ya uuzaji wa nyumba upya ya asilimia 2, ambayo inalipwa na mnunuzi.

Exquisitely crafted by the award-winning design firm Drake/Anderson, this published, AD100-designed residence was the personal home of acclaimed designer Caleb Anderson. Turnkey in the fullest sense, it seamlessly blends the finest contemporary finishes with traditional prewar details that pay homage to the building's architect, Emory Roth. The architecture, finishes, furnishings, lighting, and technology have been considered as a single composition.

Offered fully furnished, excluding all artwork and antiques, this classic five-room, two-bedroom, two-bathroom residence has been completely reconfigured and rebuilt, leaving nothing for its next owner to resolve.

Taken down to the studs, the renovation extends far beyond what is immediately visible. All-new plumbing and electrical systems, central air, and a comprehensive Crestron system controlling the lighting, audio, video, air conditioning, and window shades form the infrastructure behind interiors executed with Venetian plaster walls, handmade plaster moldings, custom SA Baxter hardware, silk moiré, and hand-painted wallcoverings. Materials recur from room to room in different expressions, creating a sense of continuity without making the spaces feel uniform.

The sunny and serene south-facing living room is composed around a fireplace, with pale finishes and sculptural, fluted plaster furnishings creating a quiet counterpoint to the rooms beyond. The kitchen shifts the palette completely, pairing dark black granite with rich custom cabinetry and a La Cornue range. That deeper tone continues into the dining room, where bold red lacquered walls and crimson tile flooring create one of the apartment's most distinctive and original spaces.

Each bedroom possesses a character entirely its own. The primary bedroom is enveloped in blue-grey silk moiré and hand-painted wallcoverings, creating a rich and atmospheric retreat. Generous custom closets lead to a striking blue-grey marble bathroom featuring heated floors, a soaking tub, and Waterworks fixtures.

The second bedroom, currently arranged as a library, takes a different direction with ochre tones, travertine accents, velvet furnishings, custom bookshelves, and carefully selected lighting. An exquisitely crafted crème-colored marble bathroom, also appointed with Waterworks fixtures, completes the suite.

Built in 1927, the building offers a 24-hour attended lobby, a live-in Resident Manager, a fitness center, laundry facilities, and storage. Pets and pieds-à-terre are welcome, and the building now permits in-unit washer/dryers.

Nothing about this home reads as an accumulation of upgrades. Its brilliance lies in the completeness of its composition. From the plasterwork and hardware to the curated furniture and finishes already placed within the rooms, the residence has been conceived, executed, and furnished as a true work of art.

Located on one of Sutton Place's prettiest tree-lined streets, moments from exceptional restaurants, shopping, and the vibrancy of Midtown Manhattan, a trophy residence of this caliber rarely comes to market.
