Ghorofa 35 Juu ya Manhattan — Jua, Anga na Mandhari za Kuvutia za Bandari ya New York

Iliyoko juu kabisa ya Lower Manhattan, kwenye ghorofa ya 35 ya jengo maarufu la Greenwich Club, Residence 3503 ni nyumba yenye mwanga mwingi wa jua, inayoelekea kusini, yenye mandhari ya kipekee na pana ya Bandari ya New York, Governors Island na hadi Verrazzano Bridge.

Kitu cha kwanza unachogundua unapoingia ni ukubwa wake. Dari zenye urefu wa takribani futi 10 na inchi 6, pamoja na dirisha kubwa la kutazama mandhari, huipa studio hii hisia ya uwazi wa kipekee, inayofanana na nyumba ya loft, huku mwanga mkali wa kusini ukienea kwenye sakafu za mbao ngumu siku nzima. Mpangilio wake unaobadilika huwezesha kutenganisha kwa urahisi maeneo ya kulala, kuishi, kula na kufanyia kazi nyumbani, huku nafasi bora za kabati zikihakikisha kila kitu kimehifadhiwa kwa mpangilio. Kwa hakika, nyumba hii huonekana kuwa kubwa zaidi unapokuwa ndani kuliko ukubwa wake halisi unavyodokeza.

Dirisha ndilo kitovu cha nyumba hii. Kutoka orofa 35 juu ya Manhattan, mandhari inaenea juu ya Battery Park na Governors Island hadi kwenye maji ya wazi ya Bandari ya New York, huku meli, feri na boti za matanga zikitoa mandhari inayobadilika kila mara. Ni hisia adimu ya uwazi, anga na nafasi kwa eneo la Downtown Manhattan.

Jiko la mtindo wa galley, lenye hisia ya kuwa na madirisha, limepambwa kwa makabati ya mbao yenye joto, kaunta za mawe na vifaa vya kisasa vya kiwango cha juu, vikiwemo Viking, Sub-Zero na Fisher & Paykel. Mashine ya kuosha vyombo yenye droo mbili, pamoja na makabati na nafasi kubwa ya kaunta, hulifanya jiko hili kuwa lenye matumizi bora na la kuvutia kwa wakati mmoja.

Bafu lililofunikwa kwa marumaru linatoa sehemu yake binafsi ya utulivu, likiwa na beseni la kina la kuogea la Kohler, bafu kubwa la mvua na showeri ya mkononi iliyo tofauti. Mfumo wa hewa ya kati na mfumo wa spika uliounganishwa wa nyumba hii hukamilisha makazi haya.

Greenwich Club

Iliy gebouwd awali mwaka wa 1929, 88 Greenwich ni mnara maridadi wa mtindo wa Art Deco uliobadilishwa kuwa makazi ya kondominium mwaka wa 2007. Wakazi hufurahia huduma na vistawishi vya kondominium ya kweli yenye huduma kamili katikati ya Downtown, ikiwemo mlinzi wa mlangoni na mhudumu wa mapokezi wa saa 24, kituo cha mazoezi, sebule ya wakazi, kituo cha biashara, paa lenye bustani na mandhari ya digrii 360, chumba cha baiskeli, chumba cha vifurushi, hifadhi ya baridi na huduma za kufua nguo.

Na kisha kuna ujirani...

Ni maeneo machache ya Downtown yanayoweka sehemu kubwa kiasi hiki ya Lower Manhattan ndani ya umbali rahisi wa kutembea. Toka nje na utakuwa umbali wa muda mfupi tu kutoka Wall Street, Oculus na World Trade Center, Brookfield Place, Battery Park na ufukwe wa Mto Hudson, huku Seaport iliyofanyiwa maboresho ikiwa karibu pia. Ununuzi na mahitaji ya kila siku yanapatikana katika Whole Foods, Eataly Downtown, Printemps na Oculus, huku mandhari ya vyakula ya ujirani sasa ikijumuisha maeneo maarufu kama Nobu Downtown na Manhatta, pamoja na mkusanyiko unaokua wa mikahawa, kumbi za kahawa na sehemu za vinywaji.

Kwa muda wa kupumzika kando ya maji, elekea kusini kupitia Battery Park au magharibi hadi kwenye njia ya kando ya Mto Hudson; elekea mashariki na hivi karibuni utajikuta kwenye barabara za mawe na mazingira ya kando ya maji ya Seaport. Sehemu hii ya FiDi imebadilika na kuwa ujirani halisi wa makazi, huku ikiendelea kuhifadhi baadhi ya huduma bora zaidi za usafiri jijini Manhattan.

Na usafiri huo ni wa kipekee: treni za 1 na R/W katika Rector Street ziko umbali wa chini ya futi 500, huku treni za 4/5 katika Wall Street na J/Z katika Broad Street zikiwa umbali wa vitalu vichache tu; Fulton Center na miunganisho ya PATH pia ziko karibu.

Juu kabisa ya yote hayo, Residence 3503 inatoa kitu kinachozidi kuwa kigumu kupatikana Manhattan: dari zenye urefu wa kuvutia, mwanga mkali wa kusini na eneo pana la kuvutia la maji na anga — yote hayo kutoka kwenye kondominium yenye huduma kamili, iliyoko katikati ya Downtown.

35 Floors Above Manhattan - Sun, Sky & Spectacular New York Harbor Views

Perched high above Lower Manhattan on the 35th floor of the iconic Greenwich Club, Residence 3503 is a sun-filled, south-facing home with extraordinary open views across New York Harbor, Governors Island and all the way to the Verrazzano Bridge.

The first thing you notice upon entering is the scale. Soaring approximately 10'6" ceilings and an oversized picture window give this studio a remarkably open, loft-like feel, while brilliant southern light pours across the hardwood floors throughout the day. The flexible layout easily accommodates distinct sleeping, living, dining and work-from-home areas, while excellent closet space keeps everything neatly tucked away. The apartment truly feels considerably larger in person than its footprint suggests.

The window is the centerpiece. From 35 stories above Manhattan, the view stretches over Battery Park and Governors Island to the open waters of New York Harbor, with ships, ferries and sailboats providing an ever-changing backdrop. It is a rare sense of openness and sky for Downtown Manhattan.

The windowed-feeling galley kitchen is beautifully appointed with warm wood cabinetry, stone countertops and a serious suite of appliances including Viking, Sub-Zero and Fisher & Paykel. A dual-drawer dishwasher and generous cabinetry and counter space make the kitchen as functional as it is attractive.

The marble-clad bathroom offers its own retreat, complete with a deep Kohler soaking tub, oversized rainfall shower and separate hand shower. Central air and the home's integrated speaker system complete the residence.

The Greenwich Club

Originally built in 1929, 88 Greenwich is a handsome Art Deco tower converted to condominium residences in 2007. Residents enjoy the services and amenities of a true full-service Downtown condominium, including a 24-hour doorman and concierge, fitness center, residents' lounge, business center, landscaped roof deck with panoramic views, bike room, package room, cold storage and laundry facilities.

And then there's the neighborhood...

Few Downtown locations put so much of Lower Manhattan within such an easy walk. Step outside and you're moments from Wall Street, the Oculus and World Trade Center, Brookfield Place, Battery Park and the Hudson River waterfront, with the revitalized Seaport also nearby. Shopping and everyday conveniences include Whole Foods, Eataly Downtown, Printemps and the Oculus, while the neighborhood's dining scene now includes destinations such as Nobu Downtown and Manhatta, alongside an ever-growing collection of restaurants, cafés and cocktail spots.

For waterfront time, head south through Battery Park or west to the Hudson River esplanade; head east and you're quickly in the cobblestone streets and waterfront atmosphere of the Seaport. This part of FiDi has evolved into a genuine residential neighborhood while retaining some of the best transportation access in Manhattan.

And that transportation is exceptional: the 1 and R/W trains at Rector Street are less than 500 feet away, with the 4/5 at Wall Street and J/Z at Broad Street just a few blocks away; Fulton Center and PATH connections are also nearby.

High above it all, Residence 3503 offers something increasingly difficult to find in Manhattan: dramatic ceiling height, brilliant southern light and a breathtaking expanse of water and sky - all from a full-service condominium in the heart of Downtown.
