??INAENDELEA KUWA BORA ZAIDI
NYUMBA KUBWA YA KABLA YA VITA, ISIYOPITWA NA WAKATI, ILIYOKARABATIWA NA YENYE MTINDO
MAHALI PA KIWANGO CHA JUU — JENGO ZURI LENYE BUSTANI KWENYE KITALU KINACHOTAFUTWA SANA
MAKAZI MADOGO YA PILI YALIYO KAMILIKA

Baadhi ya wamiliki wanaelewa kabisa. Wanajua jinsi ya kuweka uwiano kamili kati ya mtindo wa kale na wa kisasa — uzuri na utendakazi. Kwa kuboresha na kukarabati kwa ustadi na umakini makazi haya yenye uwiano mzuri na mwonekano wa nyumba ya mfululizo, yameundwa kuwa makazi yasiyopitwa na wakati yenye umuhimu mpya.

Kama vile mtaa unaolizunguka jengo hili la kuvutia, nyumba hii imejikita katika historia yake, lakini ni maridadi, imejiandaa na iko tayari kwa sura yake ya karne ya 21. Imejisitiri kwa utulivu upande wenye mwanga mwingi wa jengo lake linalothaminiwa, anwani hii nzuri iko umbali mfupi kutoka treni maarufu ya Q na imezungukwa na mikahawa bora na wafanyabiashara waliostawi hapa tangu mtaa huu ulipofanywa upya na kubuniwa upya. Ni nadra kwa makazi kukarabatiwa wakati huohuo na mtaa wake. Nyumba hii inanufaika kwa uzuri kutokana na sura mpya za vyote viwili.

Ukumbi wa kuingilia wenye mtindo wa galari ni eneo kubwa na lenye ukaribisho, linalotoa nafasi ya kutosha ukutani kwa ajili ya sanaa, kabati tatu kubwa za nguo, na kuweka hali ya nyumba halisi katika makazi haya yaliyopangwa vizuri, yenye nafasi ya kujitanua na yanayotoa hisia nzuri. Ikiwa na dari refu juu na sakafu maridadi ya mbao ngumu chini, sebule ni pana na yenye umaridadi — kitovu kizuri na cha kustarehesha cha nyumba hii yenye uchangamfu — ikiwa inanufaika na mwanga mwingi unaoingia kupitia madirisha yake mawili makubwa yanayoelekea kusini, pamoja na sehemu ya kulia chakula.

Eneo la baa lililojengwa ndani kwa ustadi, likiwa na friji ya mvinyo, pamoja na jiko lililokarabatiwa kikamilifu lenye dirisha, kaunta za mawe za kutosha, nafasi kubwa ya makabati na vifaa bora vya chuma cha pua, hufanya burudani na maisha mepesi ya kila siku kustawi. Kwa mpangilio wa kuvutia upande mwingine wa makazi haya kuna chumba kikubwa cha kulala cha ukubwa wa mfalme. Kikielekea kusini na kikiwa na nafasi ya kutosha kwa eneo la kuketi, chumba hiki kikubwa ni tulivu na chenye mwanga, kina nafasi nzuri ya kabati, na kinahudumiwa na bafu la marumaru lenye dirisha na mwonekano wa kuvutia.

Makazi haya ya kipekee yana eneo linalostahili kujivunia kweli: treni ya Q iko umbali wa kitalu kimoja, na treni ya 6 iko karibu. East 71st Street ni mfano halisi wa kitalu cha Upper East Side — chenye miti mingi, kizuri na kilichobarikiwa na usanifu wa kuvutia. Takriban maeneo yote muhimu ya utamaduni, migahawa, ununuzi, burudani na mazoezi yako karibu, na msimamizi anayeishi ndani ya jengo hili lenye kupendeza analisimamia kwa umakini mkubwa. Vifurushi vinashughulikiwa kwa ustadi, ukumbi wa kuingilia na korido zenye mwonekano mzuri hutunzwa ipasavyo, na bustani ya jengo ni sehemu nzuri ya kupumzika. Kwa kuwa na chumba cha baiskeli, chumba cha kufulia cha pamoja na sehemu za kuhifadhia, maisha hapa yamepangwa vizuri, ni mepesi, rahisi na ya kufurahisha.

Mara chache sana, makazi na eneo hujidhihirisha kikamilifu kwa pamoja — na wakati huohuo. Kwa nyumba hii na mtaa huu, wakati huo mwafaka ni sasa hivi.

??IT JUST KEEPS GETTING BETTER
TIMELESS, RENOVATED, STYLISH, JUMBO PRE-WAR HOME
SUPREME LOCATION - GORGEOUS BUILDING w/GARDEN ON COVETED BLOCK
PIED À TERRE PERFECTION
Some owners just get it. They know how to strike the perfect balance of classic and current — pretty and practical. By tastefully and mindfully upgrading and improving this well-scaled, townhouse-like residence, a timeless home with a newfound relevance has been created.
Just like the neighborhood that houses this stunning sprawler, this home is anchored in its past, but picture perfect, poised and ready for its 21 Century self. Sweetly perched in the quiet, bright side of its treasured building, this awesome address is moments away from the prized Q train and surrounded by the best cafes and merchants that have blossomed nearby since the neighborhood was refreshed and re-invented. Rare is it that a residence is renovated at the same time that its neighborhood was renovated. This home benefits beautifully from both new identities.
The foyer gallery is a sizable, welcoming space that offers ample wall space for art, three oversized closets, and sets the house-like tone of this well-planned, stretch-out, feel-good residence. With high ceilings above and handsome hardwood underfoot, the living room is substantial and elegant — a comfortable core to this cheerful home — enjoying the bright benefits from its two, big, South-facing windows and a dining alcove. Served beautifully by a built-in bar area (with a wine fridge), and a fully renovated, windowed kitchen (with ample stone counters and cabinet space and premium stainless appliances), entertaining and easy-living abound. Graciously situated on the other side of this residence is the king-sized bedroom. South-facing, and with room enough for a sitting area, the big bedroom is quiet and bright, offers good closet space, and is served by an attractive, windowed, marble bath.
This standout residence has a location that truly comes with bragging rights: One block away is the Q train, and nearby is the 6 train. East 71st Street is the quintessential Upper Eastside block — leafy, lovely, and graced with a sweet architectural aesthetic. Most every area cultural, dining, shopping, entertainment, and fitness destination are close by, and this winsome home’s live-in Super runs a tight ship. Packages are handled expertly, the good looking lobby and halls are on point, and the building garden is a lovely retreat. With a bike room, central laundry, and storage, life here is well-run, easy, convenient, and fun.
Once in a rare while, a residence and a location come into their own together — and at the same time. For this home, and this neighborhood, that perfect time is right now.
