NYUMBA ZA WATU WENGI ZINATEMBELEWA KWA MIADI PEKEE. UPANGAJI WA RATIBA MAPEMA UNAHITAJIKA

Unatafuta nyumba bora ya kifahari na kubwa yenye karibu futi za mraba 3,000, zaidi ya futi za mraba 200 za nafasi ya nje ya kibinafsi, pamoja na mandhari isiyozuiwa ya Central Park, anga ya Manhattan, macheo na machweo? Huenda ukahitaji kupanua utafutaji wako. Iliyoko kwenye ghorofa ya 26 ya Fifth on the Park, Nyumba 26D ina takriban futi za mraba 2,890, futi za mraba 245 za nafasi ya roshani ya kibinafsi, madirisha yanayofika kutoka sakafuni hadi dari, na mandhari isiyozuiwa ya digrii 270 kuelekea mashariki, magharibi na kusini, ikijumuisha Central Park, anga ya Manhattan na anga pana.

Wamiliki wa sasa walichagua 26D kwa uwiano wake wa kipekee, mpangilio wake wazi na mandhari yake ya kuvutia. Kisha walifanya kazi kwa karibu na mbunifu wao na wakandarasi katika ukarabati mpana wa ndani kabisa, wakiijenga upya nyumba hiyo kulingana na mahitaji yao. Matokeo yake ni nyumba iliyobinafsishwa kwa kiwango cha juu, yenye vifaa vya kisasa vya kumalizia, teknolojia iliyounganishwa na maelezo ya usanifu yaliyofikiriwa kwa makini.

Maeneo mapana ya kuishi na kula yanaenea kutoka mashariki hadi magharibi, yakiwa yamezungukwa na madirisha na yakifunguka moja kwa moja kwenye roshani kupitia milango miwili. Vichanja vya mimea vilivyobuniwa maalum vinatoa fursa ya kuunda bustani iliyoinuliwa. Nguzo mbili za awali za zege ziligunduliwa, kusafishwa na kung’arishwa, huku kiti maalum cha dirishani chenye nafasi ya kuhifadhia iliyojengwa ndani kikichukua kona ya kusini-magharibi.

Katikati ya nyumba kuna jiko la kiwango cha mpishi, lililoundwa kwa ajili ya upishi wa kiwango cha juu na burudani. Kisiwa cha takriban futi 18 kinatoa nafasi ya kipekee ya kuandaa chakula na kukusanyika, na kina jokofu la divai pamoja na mashine mbili za kuoshea vyombo. Kabati maalum, jokofu la Sub-Zero, tanuri ya gesi ya GE Monogram yenye sehemu mbili pamoja na grili, na chumba cha kuhifadhia bidhaa kinachoweza kuingiwa na mtu hukamilisha jiko hilo. Chumba hicho kina jokofu kubwa la divai la EuroCave ambalo wamiliki wako tayari kuliacha, bila kutoa uwakilishi au dhamana yoyote.

Mpangilio unaobadilika kwa sasa una vyumba vitatu vya kulala, huku chumba cha awali cha nne kikiunganishwa na chumba kikuu ili kuunda chumba kikubwa cha kuvaa kinachoweza kuingiwa na mtu, chenye nafasi kubwa ya kabati na eneo tofauti lenye dirisha ambalo kwa sasa linatumika kama ofisi ya nyumbani. Kinaweza kurejeshwa kuwa chumba cha nne cha kulala iwapo itahitajika.

Chumba kikuu pia kina nafasi ya ziada ya kuhifadhia na bafu lililokarabatiwa lenye bafu kubwa la kuingiwa na mtu pamoja na vipengele vya kuwezesha ufikikaji. Vyumba viwili vya ziada vya kulala vina ukubwa mzuri, mwanga bora wa asili na makabati ya kutosha. Bafu la pili kamili lenye beseni linahudumia vyumba hivyo, huku choo tofauti cha wageni kikitoa urahisi wa ziada kwa wageni.

Sakafu ya awali ya uhandisi iliondolewa na kubadilishwa kwa tabaka jipya la msingi wa sakafu pamoja na sakafu ya mbao ngumu ya mwaloni mweupe iliyomaliziwa kwa rangi ya kijivu hafifu. Paneli maalum za karatasi ya washi, zilizotengenezwa na msanii wa Kijapani, zinaimarisha milango iliyochaguliwa ya makabati na bafu, na kuongeza kipengele kingine cha kipekee cha usanifu.

Nyumba hii pia inavutia kwa upande wa mifumo yake ya ndani, ikiwa na miundombinu ya kisasa ya nyumba janja, udhibiti wa hali ya hewa na sauti iliyounganishwa ndani ya nyumba hiyo wakati wa ukarabati. Vifuniko vya jua vya Lutron na mifumo ya taa vimewekwa katika nyumba nzima na vinaweza kuendeshwa kupitia vidhibiti vya ukutani au simu janja na tableti zinazoendana navyo, huku vyumba vya kulala vikiwa na vifuniko vya kuzuia mwanga. Vifaa vitano vya HVAC vya ukutani—vitatu vikihudumia maeneo ya kuishi na kula, na viwili vikihudumia vyumba vya kulala—hupangwa kila kimoja kupitia mfumo mpana wa nyumba janja wa Savant, ambao pia hudhibiti taa, vifuniko na feni. Nyaya zilizozamishwa katika nyumba nzima huwezesha mfumo wa sauti jumuishi wa ubora wa juu.

Kwa wanunuzi wanaothamini sauti bora ya nyumbani, wamiliki pia wanakusudia kutoa mkusanyiko wa vifaa vya sauti vya kiwango cha juu pamoja na nyumba hiyo kama sehemu ya mauzo yanayokubalika, ukiwemo spika nne kubwa za Linn Akurate 212, spika nyingine ndogo za Linn na vikuza sauti vitatu vilivyounganishwa vya NAD M10. Kwa pamoja na mfumo wa nyumba janja wa Savant na nyaya nyingi zilizofichwa, vifaa hivyo huunda mazingira ya kisasa na jumuishi ya sauti na video bila nyaya zinazoonekana au d-

OPEN HOUSES ARE BY APPOINTMENT ONLY. ADVANCE SCHEDULING REQUIRED

Searching for the perfect large luxury apartment with nearly 3,000 square feet, more than 200 square feet of private outdoor space and unobstructed views of Central Park, the Manhattan skyline, sunrises and sunsets? You may want to expand your search.

Perched on the 26th floor of Fifth on the Park, Unit 26D offers approximately 2,890 square feet, a 245 square foot private balcony, floor-to-ceiling windows and unobstructed 270-degree views across east, west and south exposures, encompassing Central Park, the Manhattan skyline and open sky.

The 26th floor also offers an unusual degree of privacy, with only two households regularly using the hallway, creating a sense of separation that is increasingly difficult to find in a building of this scale.

The current owners selected 26D for its exceptional proportions, open layout and dramatic outlook, then worked closely with their architect and contractors on an extensive gut renovation, rebuilding the apartment to their specifications. The result is a highly customized residence with sophisticated finishes, integrated technology and thoughtful architectural details throughout.

Expansive living and dining areas flow from east to west, surrounded by windows and opening directly onto the balcony through two doors. Custom-designed planters provide the opportunity to create an elevated garden. Two original concrete columns were uncovered, cleaned and polished, while a custom window seat with built-in storage occupies the southwest corner.

At the heart of the home is a chef-quality kitchen designed for serious cooking and entertaining. An approximately 18-foot island provides exceptional preparation and gathering space and incorporates a wine refrigerator and two dishwashers. Custom cabinetry, Sub-Zero refrigeration, a GE Monogram gas double oven and grill, and an enclosed walk-in pantry complete the kitchen. The pantry houses a large EuroCave wine refrigerator that the owners are willing to leave without representation or guarantee.

The flexible configuration currently provides three bedrooms, with the original fourth bedroom incorporated into the primary suite to create an expansive walk-in dressing room with substantial closet capacity and a separate windowed alcove currently used as a home office. The space can be converted back to a fourth bedroom if desired.

The primary suite also includes additional storage and a renovated bathroom with a large walk-in shower and accessibility features. Two additional bedrooms offer excellent natural light and ample closets. A second full bathroom with a tub serves these bedrooms, while a separate powder room provides additional convenience for guests.

The original engineered flooring was removed and replaced with a new subfloor and white oak hardwood finished in a pale grey stain. Custom washi paper panels created by a Japanese artist enhance selected closet and bathroom doors, adding another distinctive design element.

The home is equally impressive behind the scenes. Lutron solar shades and lighting are installed throughout and can be operated from wall controls or compatible smartphones and tablets, with blackout shades in the bedrooms. Five HVAC wall units, three serving the living and dining areas and two serving the bedrooms, are individually programmed through the extensive Savant smart-home system, which also controls lighting, shades and fans.

For buyers who value premium home audio, the owners intend to make a collection of high-end equipment available with the apartment as part of an acceptable sale, including four Linn Akurate 212 speakers, additional smaller Linn speakers and three NAD M10 integrated amplifiers. Together with the Savant system and concealed wiring throughout the residence, the equipment creates a sophisticated A/V environment without exposed wiring or the disruption and expense of install
