**NJOO KWA AJILI YA MANDHARI. BAKI KWA AJILI YA GHOROFA.**

**Sasa inauzwa kwa $625,000. Ghorofa ya chumba kimoja cha kulala, iliyokarabatiwa kwa ustadi, kwenye kona juu kabisa ya Tudor City, yenye mandhari ya kuvutia ya East River na anga ya jiji.**

Kuna maghorofa ambayo mandhari yake ndiyo simulizi yenyewe.

Na kisha kuna maghorofa ambayo mandhari ni mwanzo tu.

Kutoka kwenye nafasi yake ya kona kwenye ghorofa ya 19 ya Windsor Tower, Residence 1932 inaelekea mashariki kuvuka Manhattan hadi East River na maeneo ya mbali zaidi. Kutoka sebuleni na chumbani, mandhari pana inaonyesha Umoja wa Mataifa, Daraja la 59th Street na bango maarufu la Pepsi-Cola lililo upande wa pili wa mto—mandhari ya nyuma inayobadilika kila mara ya maji, anga ya jiji na mbingu.

Hata hivyo, ni kile kinachotokea unapogeuka kutoka madirishani ndicho kinachofanya nyumba hii iwe tofauti.

Ghorofa hii nzuri ya chumba kimoja cha kulala imebuniwa kwa umakini ili kutumia vyema takriban futi za mraba 600. Karibu kila sehemu imezingatiwa.

Ukumbi wa kuingilia wenye milango ya Kifaransa huandaa njia ya kuingia nyumbani, huku kabati zilizojengwa maalum, makabati na sehemu za kuhifadhia nguo zikitoa nafasi ya ajabu ya kuhifadhi bila kuathiri hali safi na pana ya ghorofa. Kuna mahali pa karibu kila kitu.

Jiko lililokarabatiwa lenye nafasi ya kupita lina kaunta za quartz, vifaa vya chuma cha pua, mashine ya kuosha vyombo, oveni ya ukutani na jiko la kupikia, makabati ya mtindo wa Shaker na pantry maalum. Bafu lenye dirisha pia limekarabatiwa kwa uzuri, huku sakafu za mbao ngumu, makabati yaliyotengenezwa maalum, madirisha ya casement yaliyoboreshwa na maelezo yaliyopangwa kwa uangalifu yakiendelea katika nyumba nzima.

Matokeo yake ni kitu ambacho kinazidi kuwa kigumu kupatikana Manhattan: **nyumba ambamo kila futi ya mraba inatumika kwa uzuri.**

Na kuna sehemu nyingine ya simulizi ambayo picha haziwezi kuonyesha kikamilifu: jinsi ilivyoishi kwa kweli Tudor City.

Ikiwa imetengwa na mpangilio wa kawaida wa mitaa ya Midtown inayozunguka, Tudor City ina tabia yake ya kipekee. Barabara tulivu zenye magari machache na bustani mbili za mtaa hutoa kitu adimu sana Midtown—mahali pa kuketi chini ya miti, kusoma, kukutana na jirani au kufurahia tu dakika chache za utulivu nje.

Hisia hiyo ya hifadhi huja bila kuathiri urahisi wa maisha. Grand Central, Umoja wa Mataifa, ofisi za Midtown na chaguo mbalimbali za usafiri viko karibu, pamoja na migahawa ya mtaani, masoko na mahitaji ya kila siku. Sehemu kubwa ya maisha ya kila siku inaweza kufanyika kwa kutembea.

Windsor Tower ni jengo la ushirika wa makazi la huduma kamili lililojengwa kabla ya Vita vya Pili vya Dunia, lenye mlinzi wa saa 24 na wafanyakazi wa kitaalamu wa jengo, kituo cha mazoezi, chumba cha kufulia, chumba cha baiskeli, nafasi za kuhifadhi zinazopatikana na urahisi usio wa kawaida wa kuwa na duka ndani ya jengo. Wanyama vipenzi wanaruhusiwa, umiliki wa pied-à-terre, ununuzi wa pamoja na wazazi kununua kwa ajili ya watoto wao vinaruhusiwa, na upangishaji wa chini unaruhusiwa baada ya miaka mitatu ya umiliki.*

Ni rahisi kuelewa kwa nini watu huigundua Tudor City na kubaki humo kwa miongo kadhaa.

**Huenda mandhari ndiyo inayokufanya upitie mlangoni.
Ghorofa ndiyo sababu utakayotaka kubaki.**

**COME FOR THE VIEWS. STAY FOR THE APARTMENT.**

**Now offered at $625,000. A beautifully renovated corner one-bedroom high above Tudor City, with remarkable East River and skyline views.**

There are apartments where the view is the story.

And then there are apartments where it’s only the beginning.

From its corner position on the 19th floor of Windsor Tower, Residence 1932 looks east across Manhattan to the East River and beyond. From both the living room and bedroom, the panorama takes in the United Nations, the 59th Street Bridge and the iconic Pepsi-Cola sign across the river—a constantly changing backdrop of water, skyline and sky.

It is what happens when you turn away from the windows, however, that makes this home different.

This beautifully renovated one-bedroom has been thoughtfully designed to make exceptional use of approximately 600 square feet. Nearly every inch has been considered.

A gracious entry foyer with French doors introduces the home, while extensive custom built-ins, cabinetry and wardrobes provide an extraordinary amount of storage without sacrificing the clean, open feel of the apartment. There is a place for virtually everything.

The renovated pass-through kitchen features quartz countertops, stainless-steel appliances, dishwasher, wall oven and cooktop, Shaker cabinetry and a dedicated pantry. The windowed bathroom has also been beautifully renovated, while hardwood floors, custom cabinetry, upgraded casement windows and carefully considered details continue throughout.

The result is something increasingly difficult to find in Manhattan: **a home where every square foot works beautifully.**

And there is another part of the story that photographs can’t quite capture: what it is like to actually live in Tudor City.

Set apart from the surrounding Midtown grid, Tudor City has a character all its own. Quiet, low-traffic streets and two neighborhood parks offer something particularly rare in Midtown—a place to sit beneath the trees, read, meet a neighbor or simply enjoy a few quiet minutes outdoors.

That sense of refuge comes without sacrificing convenience. Grand Central, the United Nations, Midtown offices and multiple transportation options are nearby, along with neighborhood restaurants, markets and everyday necessities. Much of daily life can happen on foot.

Windsor Tower is a full-service prewar cooperative with a 24-hour doorman and professional building staff, fitness center, laundry room, bicycle room, available storage and the unusual convenience of a shop right in the building. Pets are welcome, pied-à-terre ownership, co-purchasing and parents purchasing for children are permitted, and subletting is allowed after three years of ownership.*

It is easy to understand why people discover Tudor City and stay for decades.

**The view may be what brings you through the door.
The apartment is why you’ll want to stay.**
