UKAMILIFU PEMBENI MWA BUSTANI

Ipo kwenye Gold Coast inayotamaniwa sana ya Fifth Avenue, moja kwa moja mkabala na Central Park, Residence 2A ni nyumba ya kipekee yenye vyumba vitatu vya kulala na bafu tatu na nusu, inayounganisha kwa ustadi umaridadi wa New York ya kabla ya vita na maisha ya kisasa ya hali ya juu.

Ikiwa imefanyiwa ukarabati wa kina na wa uangalifu kwa miaka kadhaa, wenye gharama ya mamilioni ya dola, nyumba hii ilibuniwa upya kabisa ili kufikia viwango vya juu zaidi vya maisha ya kisasa na mbunifu anayetambulika kitaifa. Matokeo yake ni nyumba nzuri iliyo katika hali bora kabisa, tayari kuhamia bila hitaji la marekebisho yoyote.

Mlangobweni wa kifahari unaelekea kwenye jumba pana la kati, ukitengeneza mwonekano wa kipekee wa kuwasili unaotambulisha vyumba vikubwa vya Fifth Avenue. Zaidi ya hapo, sebule yenye urefu wa karibu futi 30 ina mandhari nzuri ya moja kwa moja ya Central Park, na imetofautishwa na kazi maalum za mbao, sakafu tajiri za mbao ngumu, taa zilizoongozwa na mitindo ya kale, pamoja na mahali pa moto pa kuni lenye fremu maalum ya marumaru ya Carrara.

Pembeni mwa jumba hilo kuna maktaba nzuri yenye vipimo vya ukarimu—inayofaa vilevile kuwa chumba cha mapumziko au ofisi ya nyumbani, na iliyotayarishwa kikamilifu kutumika kama chumba cha tatu cha kulala cha nyumba hii.

Chumba kikuu cha kulala chenye utulivu pia kinaelekea Central Park na kina kabati nyingi zilizojengwa maalum, chumba kikubwa cha kuvaa cha kuingia ndani, pamoja na bafu la kifahari lililofunikwa kwa marumaru, lenye sinki mbili na bafu kubwa lililozungushiwa kioo.

Upande wa pili wa nyumba, jiko pana na eneo la chakula huunda mazingira ya kuvutia sana kwa maisha ya kila siku na kwa kuwakaribisha wageni. Jiko hili la kuvutia ni la kipekee, likiwa na makabati maalum, marumaru yenye mpangilio wa kuvutia wa vipande vinavyolingana, kisiwa cha marumaru chenye muundo wa sanamu na kingo inayoshuka kama maporomoko ya maji, vifaa na mabomba ya kisasa zaidi, pamoja na jiko la kifahari la La Cornue.

Mara tu baada ya jiko, chumba cha mfanyakazi/chumba cha kulala kimewekewa kwa ustadi vitanda viwili vya ghorofa vilivyojengwa maalum na kutengenezwa kwa ustadi mkubwa, hivyo kutoa unyumbufu zaidi kwa wageni, watoto au wafanyakazi. Kwa kujumlisha na maktaba, nyumba hii inaweza kwa urahisi kuwa na vyumba vinne vya kulala, huku ikiendelea kuhifadhi vipimo vya ukarimu vya nyumba ya kawaida yenye vyumba vitatu vya kulala. Chumba tofauti cha kufulia kina seti mbili za mashine za kufulia na kukaushia, na mlango wa huduma unakamilisha sehemu hii yenye ufanisi wa kipekee.

Katika nyumba nzima kuna kazi za mbao zilizotengenezwa mahsusi, vifaa vilivyochaguliwa kwa uangalifu na maelezo mengi ya usanifu yanayoakisi umakini na uwekezaji mkubwa uliowekwa katika ukarabati huu. Miundombinu ya kisasa, ikiwemo mfumo wa kudhibiti hali ya hewa unaoendeshwa na Nest, imeunganishwa kwa ustadi bila kuvuruga muundo wa nyumba.

Iliyobuniwa mwaka 1925 na wasanifu mashuhuri Schwartz & Gross, 912 Fifth Avenue iko katika eneo lenye thamani kubwa kati ya Barabara za 72nd na 73rd, umbali mfupi kutoka The Frick Collection, Madison Avenue na maeneo bora kabisa ya Upper East Side. Ushirika huu wa karibu wenye huduma kamili una makazi 24 pekee na hutoa huduma bora na faragha, kituo kipya cha mazoezi, hifadhi binafsi na chumba cha kuhifadhia baiskeli. Umiliki wa nyumba ya pili ya kukaa, umiliki kupitia trust na LLC unaruhusiwa kwa idhini ya bodi, na pia mbwa wanaruhusiwa. Ufadhili wa ununuzi hauruhusiwi, na kodi ya uuzaji wa asilimia 2 inatumika.

Central Park ikiwa nje tu ya madirisha, Residence 2A ni fursa adimu ya kununua nyumba iliyokamilishwa kikamilifu kwenye Fifth Avenue—nyumba ambayo umaridadi wa New York ya kabla ya vita umehuishwa kwa uangalifu ili kuendana na maisha ya kisasa.

PERFECTION ON THE PARK

Set on Fifth Avenue's coveted Gold Coast, directly across from Central Park, Residence 2A is an exceptional three-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath home that seamlessly marries the elegance of prewar New York with sophisticated contemporary living.

The subject of a meticulous, multi-year, multimillion-dollar gut renovation, the residence was completely reimagined to meet the highest standards of modern living by a nationally recognized designer. The result is a beautiful home in truly turnkey, triple-mint condition.

A gracious entry opens to a broad central gallery, establishing the classic sense of arrival that defines the great Fifth Avenue apartments. Beyond, the nearly 30-foot living room enjoys beautiful direct views of Central Park and is distinguished by custom millwork, rich hardwood floors, period-inspired lighting and a wood-burning fireplace with a custom Carrara marble mantel.

Adjoining the gallery is a handsome, generously proportioned library - equally compelling as a den or home office and perfectly suited to serve as the residence's third bedroom.

The serene primary suite also faces Central Park and features extensive custom built-ins, a large walk-in dressing room and a luxurious marble-clad bath with double vanity and oversized glass-enclosed shower.

At the opposite end of the residence, the expansive kitchen and dining area create a wonderfully inviting setting for both everyday living and entertaining. The showplace kitchen is remarkable, with custom cabinetry, dramatic book-matched marble, a sculptural marble waterfall island, state-of-the-art appliances and fixtures, and a magnificent La Cornue range.

Just beyond the kitchen, a staff room/bedroom has been ingeniously fitted with two beautifully crafted custom built-in bunk beds, providing additional flexibility for guests, children or staff. Together with the library, the home can readily accommodate four bedrooms while retaining the gracious proportions of a classic three-bedroom residence. A separate laundry room includes two sets of washers and dryers and the service entrance complete this exceptionally functional wing.

Throughout, there is bespoke millwork, carefully selected fixtures and substantial architectural detailing reflecting the extraordinary thought and investment behind the renovation. Modern infrastructure, including a Nest-controlled climate system, has been seamlessly integrated.

Designed in 1925 by renowned architects Schwartz & Gross, 912 Fifth Avenue occupies a prized position between 72nd and 73rd Streets, moments from The Frick Collection, Madison Avenue and the very best of the Upper East Side. This intimate full-service cooperative comprises just 24 residences and offers exceptional service and privacy, a new fitness center, private storage, and a bike room. Pied-à-terre, trust and LLC ownership are permitted, subject to board approval, as are dogs. Financing is not permitted, and a 2% flip tax applies.

With Central Park just outside the windows, Residence 2A is a rare opportunity to acquire a fully-realized Fifth Avenue home - one where the elegance of prewar New York has been thoughtfully renewed for contemporary life.
