Ikiwa imetoka hivi karibuni kwenye ukarabati kamili kutoka juu hadi chini, Penthouse katika 169 Mercer Street ni loft iliyobuniwa kwa ustadi wa hali ya juu, iliyoko kwenye mojawapo ya mitaa bora zaidi ya SoHo. Ikiwa na mwanga kutoka pande tatu na dirisha kubwa la paa, makazi haya ya ghorofa ya juu yana ukubwa wa zaidi ya futi za mraba 2,300 na yanajumuisha vyumba viwili vya kulala, ofisi ya nyumbani, bafu mbili, mahali pa moto pa gesi, pamoja na ufikiaji wa moja kwa moja wa lifti kwa kutumia ufunguo.

Unapoingia ndani ya nyumba hii, inaonekana mara moja jinsi uangalifu ulivyotumika katika kubuni lofti hiyo. Sakafu za mwaloni zilizopangwa kwa muundo wa herringbone zinakuongoza kutoka kwenye lifti ya funguo, kupita ofisi kubwa ya nyumbani, hadi kwenye ukumbi mkuu, ambapo dirisha kubwa la paa huleta mwanga siku nzima. Hiki ndicho kitovu cha nyumba: kuna mahali pa moto pa gesi penye rafu mpya kabisa ya quartzite ya kijani, maeneo kadhaa maalum ya kukalia, sehemu rasmi ya chakula kwa watu 8, pamoja na jiko jipya kabisa lenye eneo la kula. Jiko hilo lilibadilishwa kikamilifu kutoka muundo wake wa awali: makabati, vifaa vya kiwango cha juu, vigae vya zellige vya ukutani, vifaa vya kufungia na kufungua, pamoja na kaunta za granite zenye umaliziaji wa ngozi, vyote vimekamilishwa hivi karibuni.

Chumba kikuu cha kulala pamoja na huduma zake kinapatikana upande wa magharibi wa nyumba. Kikiwa kwenye kona, na kikiwa na mandhari isiyozuiwa na majengo yaliyo jirani, chumba hiki ni kikubwa na chenye mwangaza mwingi. Ni sehemu kamili ya faragha yenye kabati la kuingilia, bafu la ndani, na eneo la kujitegemea la kukalia. Hapa, mandhari yanaenea mbali kuelekea magharibi na kusini, hadi kufikia Freedom Tower. Bafu la ndani lina mwonekano wa kuvutia na wa kustarehesha, likiwa na mitindo mbalimbali ya mawe inayotumika kote kuleta muundo na msisimko, ikiwemo kuta za marumaru zilizong’arishwa, granite nyeusi yenye umaliziaji wa ngozi, na vigae vya basalt vilivyolainishwa sana.

Chumba cha pili cha kulala kiko upande wa mashariki wa ghorofa hiyo, kikiwa na madirisha makubwa yanayotazama Mercer Street pamoja na kabati la kuingilia. Bafu la pili kamili, ambalo pia limekarabatiwa hivi karibuni, liko upande wa pili wa ukumbi; safari hii, mawe yaliyoteuliwa yana mwonekano angavu na wa joto, yakikamilisha mbao zilizotumika kwenye kabati la sinki. Bafu hili pia lina mashine ya kufua na kukausha nguo.

Kinachokamilisha nyumba hii ni mfumo mahiri wa kudhibiti halijoto; mfumo wa sauti wa surround uliojengewa ndani; pamoja na chumba kikubwa cha kuhifadhia kilichotengwa kisheria kwenye basementi.

Annapurna katika 169 Mercer Street ni jengo la ushirika la vitengo 6, linalowakaribisha wanyama wa kufugwa, na lililoko kwenye mojawapo ya mitaa maarufu zaidi ya SoHo. Jengo hili la kihistoria lilijengwa mwaka 1896. Leo, Mercer Street ni nyumbani kwa baadhi ya maghala ya sanaa, hoteli, mikahawa na maduka ya kifahari yanayosisimua zaidi jijini New York.

Fresh off a newly completed top-to-bottom renovation, the Penthouse at 169 Mercer Street is an impeccably designed loft on one of SoHo's best blocks. Boasting three exposures and a large skylight, this top floor residence spans over 2,300 square feet and includes two bedroom, a home office, two bathrooms, a gas fireplace, and direct keyed elevator access.

Upon entering the home, it's immediately apparent the care taken when designing the loft. The herringbone oak floors lead you from the keyed elevator, past the large home office, to the great room, where a large skylight provides all-day light. The heart of the home, here you have a gas fireplace with brand new green quartzite mantle, multiple dedicated seating areas, formal dining for 8, and a brand new eat-in kitchen. The kitchen was fully overhauled from its previous iteration: the cabinetry, high-end appliances, zellige subway tiling, fixtures, and leather-finish granite countertops are all newly completed.

The primary bedroom suite occupies the west end of the home. Located on the corner, with views that clear the adjacent buildings, the bedroom is grand and bright. It's a true suite, with a walk-in closet, en-suite bathroom, and a standalone sitting area. Here, the views extend far to the west and south, all the way down to the Freedom Tower. The en-suite bathroom is moody and inviting, with different stone motifs throughout to create texture and drama, including polished marble walls, a black leather granite and ultra-honed basalt tiles.

The secondary bedroom is located on the east end of the apartment, with large windows overlooking Mercer Street and a walk-in closet. A second full bathroom, also newly renovated, is across the hall; this time, the stone selection is bright and warm, complementing the wood in the vanity. There is also a washer/dryer in this bathroom.

Completing the home is a smart temperature control system; built-in surround sound; and a large deeded storage unit in the basement.

The Annapurna at 169 Mercer Street is a boutique, pet-friendly, 6-unit co-operative on one of SoHo's most iconic blocks. The historic building dates back to 1896. Today, Mercer Street is the home to many of New York City's most exciting galleries, hotels, restaurants, and luxury retail experiences.
