Ghorofa ya Chumba Kimoja Inayotamaniwa, Iliyopo Ghorofa ya Juu katika The Waverly yenye Mandhari ya Kuvutia ya Katikati ya Jiji

Juu kabisa ya mojawapo ya majengo mashuhuri zaidi ya Manhattan, Ghorofa 14E katika The Waverly inatoa kitu kinachozidi kuwa adimu: hisia halisi ya mahali. Kutoka ghorofa ya 14 ya jengo hili la kihistoria la Art Deco lililojengwa mwaka 1928—umbali wa jengo moja tu kutoka Washington Square Park—mandhari yanaenea kuelekea kusini hadi One World Trade Center na kuelekea magharibi juu ya paa za Village, yakielekea Mto Hudson. Kila chumba katika makazi haya ya chumba kimoja cha kulala na bafu moja, yaliyopambwa kwa ustadi, kinanasa sehemu ya mandhari hiyo pana.

Ukumbi halisi wa kuingilia huweka hali ya kipekee tangu unapowasili—mguso wa kifahari unaozidi kuwa adimu huko Manhattan. Zaidi ya hapo, sebule inaonyesha uwiano wa majengo ya kabla ya vita—dari zenye mihimili, sakafu maridadi za mbao ngumu, na madirisha mapana yanayoweka katika fremu mandhari isiyozuiliwa ya katikati ya jiji. Kiti cha kudumu kilichojengwa kwenye kona kinakualika uketi kwa starehe na kufurahia mandhari yote. Jiko lililokarabatiwa liko katika hali bora, likiwa na makabati maalum yenye kabati la kuhifadhia linalovutika, ukuta wa nyuma wa marumaru ya Carrara, kaunta za granite nyeusi, vifaa vya nikeli vilivyong’arishwa, na sakafu ya vigae vya hexagoni vya rangi nyeusi na nyeupe. Vifaa vya kisasa vya kiwango cha juu vinajumuisha jiko la Miele, mashine ya kuosha vyombo ya Bosch, na jokofu la Liebherr. Kaunta ya kifungua kinywa kwa watu wawili iliyo mwishoni mwa jiko hufanya kahawa ya asubuhi iwe rahisi au kuwaandalia wageni jioni bila usumbufu.

Chumba kikubwa cha kulala kilicho kwenye kona kina nafasi ya kutosha kwa kitanda cha ukubwa wa king, na pande zake mbili zimezungukwa na madirisha yanayotoa mwanga wa anga wazi na mandhari ya paa zinazoenea kuelekea magharibi juu ya Village. Makabati mawili yenye ukubwa wa ukarimu pamoja na ukuta mzima wa makabati yaliyojengwa chini ya madirisha hutoa nafasi ya kuhifadhi iliyo bora kwa kiwango chochote. Bafu lenye dirisha limepambwa kwa ustadi, likiwa na vigae vya marumaru vya mtindo wa subway, sakafu ya marumaru yenye muundo wa kusuka, beseni la kuogea la kulowekea, na vifaa vya nikeli vilivyong’arishwa pamoja na sinki la pedestal—la kitambo na lenye ustaarabu.

Likibuniwa na Walter S. Schneider na kukamilika mwaka 1928, The Waverly ni mojawapo ya majengo mashuhuri zaidi ya ushirika yaliyotambuliwa kama urithi huko Greenwich Village—mnara wa ghorofa 16 wa Art Deco wenye historia ndefu, ambao ukuta wake wa nje uliopambwa kwa terra cotta, uashi wa matofali wenye michoro tata, na lango lake kuu la ghorofa mbili vimeifanya kuwa alama ya mtaa kwa karibu karne moja. Jengo hili linahudumiwa kwa kiwango cha juu sana, likiwa na mlinzi wa lango saa 24, lifti ya mizigo yenye mhudumu, msimamizi anayeishi ndani ya jengo, chumba cha kufulia cha pamoja, hifadhi ya baiskeli, na sehemu binafsi za kuhifadhia. Likiwa umbali wa jengo moja tu kutoka Washington Square Park na moja kwa moja mkabala na kituo cha West 4th Street (A/C/E/B/D/F/M)—huku treni ya Christopher Street ya laini ya 1 ikiwa chini ya majengo mawili—anwani hii inakuweka katikati ya mikahawa bora zaidi, maghala ya sanaa, na maisha ya kitamaduni ya Village. Wanyama wa kufugwa wanakaribishwa.

14E si ghorofa tu—ni nafasi ya mstari wa mbele ya kuutazama mji, katika kitongoji ambacho hakipotezi mvuto wake kamwe.

A Coveted High-Floor One-Bedroom at The Waverly with Panoramic Downtown Views

Every room in this beautifully appointed one-bedroom, one-bath home captures a piece of that panorama.

A proper entry foyer sets the tone from the moment you arrive - a gracious touch that feels increasingly rare in Manhattan.

A corner built-in banquette invites you to settle in and take it all in. The renovated kitchen is in excellent condition, featuring custom cabinetry with a pullout pantry, Carrara marble backsplash, black granite countertops, polished nickel fixtures, and a classic black-and-white hex tile floor.

Designed by Walter S. Schneider and completed in 1928, The Waverly is one of Greenwich Village's most distinguished landmarked cooperatives - a storied 16-story Art Deco tower whose ornate terra cotta facade, intricate brickwork, and grand two-story entrance have made it a neighborhood landmark for nearly a century. The building is impeccably serviced with a 24-hour doorman, attended freight elevator, live-in superintendent, central laundry, bike storage, and private storage. One block from Washington Square Park and directly across from the West 4th Street station (A/C/E/B/D/F/M) - with the Christopher Street 1 train less than two blocks away - the address places you at the center of the Village's finest restaurants, galleries, and cultural life. Pets welcome.

14E is not just an apartment - it's a front-row seat to the city, in a neighborhood that never goes out of style.
