Juu kabisa ya mojawapo ya mitaa mizuri zaidi yenye mistari ya miti katika Upper West Side, nyumba hii ya vyumba viwili vya kulala katika Manchester House, iliyobuniwa na Emery Roth, inatoa mchanganyiko wa kupendeza wa haiba ya kabla ya vita, mwanga wa asili na maisha ya starehe.

Ukumbi rasmi wa kuingilia unakukaribisha ndani ya nyumba na kufunguka kuelekea sebule/chumba cha kulia chenye ukubwa wa kuvutia. Dari zenye mihimili, sakafu nzuri za mbao ngumu na maelezo ya kawaida ya nyumba za kabla ya vita huleta hali ya joto na haiba. Mwelekeo wa kusini hujaza eneo kuu la kuishi kwa mwanga wa asili, huku madirisha yanayoelekea kaskazini na magharibi yakileta mwanga ndani ya nyumba siku nzima.

Jiko lenye madirisha limekarabatiwa na kupangwa upya kwa uangalifu ili kuongeza matumizi ya nafasi, likiwa na makabati maalum yaliyoundwa mahsusi kwa ajili ya chumba hicho, vifaa vya chuma cha pua vikiwemo mashine ya kuosha vyombo, friji mpya, ukuta wa nyuma wenye mtindo na rafu zilizo wazi. Vyumba viwili vya kulala vyenye ukubwa mzuri vinatoa unyumbufu wa kipekee. Wamiliki wa sasa wamekipanga kwa uangalifu chumba kikubwa kwa ajili ya watoto wao watatu, huku wakitumia chumba cha pili kama sehemu ya starehe ya wazazi. Bafu lenye dirisha linaongeza hali ya hewa na mwangaza ndani ya nyumba, huku makabati mengi yakitoa nafasi muhimu ya kuhifadhi vitu kila upande.

Likiwa limejengwa mwaka 1938 na kubuniwa na mbunifu mashuhuri Emery Roth, Manchester House bado lina mwonekano wake wa asili wenye kuvutia pamoja na ukumbi wake wa kifahari wa kabla ya vita. Jengo hili la ushirika linalotunzwa vizuri lina meneja mkazi, huduma ya mlinzi wa mlango kuanzia saa 2:30 asubuhi hadi saa 5:30 usiku, sehemu ya kufulia kwenye ghorofa ya chini, hifadhi ya baiskeli na nafasi ya ziada ya kuhifadhi vitu. Jengo hili linakubali wanyama wa kufugwa na linaruhusu nyumba za ziada za kukaa mara kwa mara, wadhamini na uhamishaji wa mali kama zawadi.

Likikabiliwa vyema na West 79th Street kati ya Columbus Avenue na Amsterdam Avenue, nyumba hii imezungukwa na mambo bora zaidi ya Upper West Side.
