ZIARA ZA NYUMBA KWA MIADI PEKEE! Mwanga wa jua huingia kupitia karibu futi 30 za kioo kinachoelekea kusini katika nyumba hii iliyokarabatiwa kwa uzuri, yenye mwonekano usiozuiwa unaoongeza faragha, pamoja na sakafu mpya kabisa na roshani binafsi. Ni maisha ya mjini yasiyo na usumbufu.

Bafu lina mchanganyiko wa kuvutia wa rangi nyeusi na nyeupe: vigae vya ukutani vya Imperial Bianco Bevel Gloss, sakafu za porcelaini nyeusi zisizo na mng’ao, na sinki la juu la Kohler Vox lenye ukubwa wa inchi 16, lililowekwa juu ya kabati jeusi la sinki. Beseni la kuogea na bafu la mvua, vilivyofungwa kwa kioo cha Ulaya chenye mifumo ya kudhibiti ya Kohler ya kromu, vinakamilisha hali ya spa, pamoja na choo cha TOTO Aquia chenye mfumo wa kuvuta maji mara mbili na kabati la dawa lenye taa za LED lililojengwa ndani kabisa ya ukuta.

Maboresho ya nyumba janja yanaendelea kila mahali: taa zilizozamishwa zinazodhibitiwa na Lutron jikoni, kwenye ukumbi wa kuingilia na bafuni; kidhibiti joto cha Nest; mapazia yanayoendeshwa kwa mota pamoja na skrini za madirishani; makabati maalum; na mashine ya kufulia na kukaushia ya LG iliyo ndani ya nyumba. Hata mlango wa mbele umeboreshwa, ukiwa na uwezo wa kupunguza sauti wenye kiwango cha STC 39—juu zaidi ya kiwango cha kawaida cha sekta cha STC 35—pamoja na kufuli jipya la aina ya mortise la Falcon MA531.

Vipimo ni vikubwa na vya ukarimu katika nyumba nzima. Sebule na chumba cha kulala vinaweza kutoshea samani kubwa kwa nafasi ya ziada, huku milango ya futi nane pamoja na dari ndefu zikiongeza hisia ya hewa na nafasi ya juu. Nyumba hii iko kwenye ghorofa ya tatu, hivyo kuongeza kiwango kingine cha utulivu na faragha.

Jikoni kuna seti iliyounganishwa kikamilifu ya SMEG—oveni ya ukutani, jiko la gesi lenye vichomeo vitano na mashine ya kuosha vyombo—kutoka kwa chapa ya Italia inayojulikana kwa muundo wake maridadi. Pia kuna jokofu la Liebherr la chuma cha pua lenye kitengeneza barafu kilichojengwa ndani, kofia mpya ya kuondoa moshi, na kisiwa cha Corian chenye sinki la kina lililounganishwa pamoja na bomba la Grohe Minta.

Murano, iliyojengwa mwaka 2011, ina makazi 76 yaliyoenea katika ghorofa 12. Wakazi wanafurahia huduma za mapokezi saa 24 kila siku, meneja wa wakazi wa muda wote, kituo cha mazoezi, sebule ya pamoja, bustani ya ghorofa ya chini, na roshani ya faragha iliyo juu ya paa yenye grili za gesi. Wanyama wa kufugwa wanaruhusiwa.

Mkosoaji wa usanifu Carter Horsley amebainisha kuwa jina la jengo hilo limetokana na kisiwa cha Venice kinachojulikana kwa utengenezaji wa vioo, jambo linaloakisiwa katika mwangaza unaobadilisha rangi kwenye ukuta wa kioo wa Murano na kwenye ukumbi wake. Lango la kuingilia linaendeleza zaidi mada hiyo, likizungukwa na “mtaro” uliojaa maji na kuvukwa na madaraja madogo ya watembea kwa miguu, huku vitanda vya bustani vilivyoshushwa chini vikiwa kando ya njia ya watembea kwa miguu.

Ni hatua chache tu kutoka maduka na migahawa ya Vernon Boulevard, umbali wa vitalu viwili kutoka Gantry Plaza State Park, na karibu na Trader Joe’s, Target, pamoja na Vibe Fitness mpya kabisa iliyoko upande wa pili wa barabara. Usafiri pia ni rahisi sana, ukiwa na safari ya dakika 10 kutoka mlangoni hadi mlangoni hadi Grand Central kwa treni ya 7, au safari ya kuvutia kwa kutumia NYC Ferry.

OPEN HOUSES BY APPOINTMENT ONLY! Sunlight pours through nearly 30 feet of south-facing glass in this beautifully renovated home, with an unobstructed exposure that adds extra privacy, plus brand-new floors and a private balcony. It's effortless city living.

Proportions are generous throughout. The living room and bedroom both fit large-scale furniture with room to spare, and eight-foot doors alongside soaring ceilings add an airy, elevated feel. The unit sits on the third floor, adding an extra layer of quiet and privacy.

The kitchen features a fully integrated SMEG suite (wall oven, 5-burner gas cooktop, dishwasher) from the Italian brand known for its stylish design, plus a Liebherr stainless refrigerator with built-in ice maker, a new range hood, and a Corian island with deep integrated sink and Grohe Minta faucet.

The bathroom pairs a striking black-and-white palette: Imperial Bianco Bevel Gloss subway tile, matte black porcelain floors, and a 16" Kohler Vox vessel sink atop a black vanity. A soaking tub and rainfall shower, enclosed in European glass with Kohler chrome controls, complete the spa-like feel, alongside a TOTO Aquia dual-flush toilet and a fully recessed LED medicine cabinet.

Smart-home upgrades continue throughout: Lutron-controlled recessed lighting in the kitchen, foyer, and bath; a Nest thermostat; motorized shades with window screens; custom closets; and an in-unit LG washer/dryer. Even the front door was upgraded, with sound-dampening rated STC 39 (well above the industry-standard STC 35) and a new Falcon MA531 mortise lock.

Built in 2011, Murano holds 76 residences across 12 floors. Residents enjoy 24/7 concierge, a full-time resident manager, a fitness center, lounge, ground-floor garden, and a private rooftop terrace with gas grills. Pets are welcome.

Architecture critic Carter Horsley has noted the building's namesake, Venice's glassmaking island, echoed in the color-shifting lighting on Murano's curtain wall and lobby. The entrance carries the theme further, wrapped in a water-filled "moat" crossed by small footbridges, with sunken garden beds along the sidewalk.

Steps from Vernon Boulevard's shops and restaurants, two blocks from Gantry Plaza State Park, and close to Trader Joe's, Target, and the brand new Vibe Fitness across the street. Commuting is effortless too, with a 10-minute door-to-door ride to Grand Central on the 7 train or a scenic trip on the NYC Ferry.
