Yote yanahusu eneo

The Endicott iko kwenye kona ya kaskazini-magharibi ya 81st Street na Columbus Avenue, mkabala kabisa na Jumba la Makumbusho la Historia ya Asili la Marekani na Theodore Roosevelt Park, ambayo ina eneo lake maalumu la mbwa, na umbali wa mtaa mmoja tu kutoka Central Park. Ni vigumu kuwazia eneo bora zaidi linalowakilisha Upper West Side.

Kuna jambo lisilotarajiwa kuhusu #524: uko katikati kabisa ya Upper West Side, lakini unapoingia ndani, jiji huonekana kutoweka.

Ikiwa imeelekezwa mbali na barabara na kutazama ua wa ndani wa jengo, nyumba hii yenye vyumba viwili vya kulala na bafu moja na choo cha ziada ina utulivu wa hali ya juu—kimbilio la kweli katika mojawapo ya vitongoji vyenye uhai zaidi Manhattan. Madirisha yanayoelekea kusini na magharibi huingiza mwanga mzuri wa asili ndani ya nyumba siku nzima.

Kiini cha nyumba hii ni sebule na eneo la kulia chakula lenye nafasi kubwa, mtindo wa loft, lenye dari refu, kuta za matofali yaliyoachwa wazi na meko maridadi ya matofali inayofanya kazi, vinavyoipa nafasi hii uchangamfu na upekee wa kweli. Kuna nafasi ya kutosha kwa viti vingi vya kustarehesha pamoja na meza kubwa ya kulia, hivyo kuifanya nyumba hii ifae kwa burudani za wageni na maisha ya kila siku.

Jiko kubwa lililo wazi linaungana kwa mtiririko wa kawaida na sebule pamoja na eneo la kulia chakula. Sakafu za mbao ngumu na nafasi nzuri ya kabati katika nyumba nzima vinaongeza mvuto wake. Kuna vyumba viwili vikubwa vya kulala, vyote vikiwa katika mazingira yale yale ya ndani yenye utulivu wa kipekee.

Kufua nguo hakuwezi kuwa rahisi zaidi: mashine ya kufulia na mashine ya kukausha ziko karibu tu, kwenye ghorofa hiyo hiyo. Kwa wale wanaopendelea kufulia ndani ya nyumba, pia inaruhusiwa kufunga mashine ya kufulia na kukausha, kwa idhini ya Bodi.

The Endicott ni jengo la ushirika lililojengwa kabla ya Vita vya Kwanza vya Dunia, lenye ukumbi wa kuingilia unaosimamiwa saa 24 na msimamizi anayeishi ndani ya jengo. Lilijengwa awali mwanzoni mwa karne ya 20 kama Hoteli ya Endicott, kisha likasanifiwa upya na mbunifu Stephen B. Jacobs, aliyefanya makazi yake 144 ya kisasa huku akihifadhi sifa za usanifu wa awali. Leo, The Endicott bado lina mwonekano wa kipekee wa majengo ya kabla ya vita, likiwa na fachada ya matofali ya rangi ya chungwa na beige yenye mapambo, madirisha ya ghuba yanayochomoza na mlango wa kuingilia wenye nguzo unaoakisi historia yake. Eneo lake ni bora kabisa: mikahawa, kahawa na maduka ya Columbus Avenue yanaanzia nje ya mlango wako, basi la M79 linalovuka mji husimama mkabala wa barabara, treni za chini ya ardhi za B/C ziko mtaa unaofuata, na treni ya 1 pia iko karibu.

Wanyama vipenzi na umiliki wa nyumba ya pili ya mjini (pied-à-terre) vinaruhusiwa.

Kwa mtu anayetaka kuwa katikati ya kila kitu bila lazima kusikia kelele zake, #524 inatoa mchanganyiko unaovutia sana: nafasi, upekee, mwanga na utulivu wa ajabu katika mojawapo ya maeneo bora zaidi ya Upper West Side. Kodi ya uhamisho wa umiliki ni $244 kwa kila hisa, na hulipwa na muuzaji.

It's all about the location

The Endicott sits at the northwest corner of 81st Street and Columbus Avenue, directly across from the American Museum of Natural History and Theodore Roosevelt Park, including its separate dog run, and just one block from Central Park. It is difficult to imagine a more quintessential Upper West Side setting.

There is something unexpected about #524: you are in the heart of the Upper West Side, yet once you step inside, the city seems to disappear.

Facing away from the street and overlooking the building's interior courtyard, this two-bedroom, 1.5 bathroom home is pin-drop quiet, a genuine oasis in one of Manhattan's most vibrant neighborhoods. South and western exposures bring lovely natural light into the apartment throughout the day.

The centerpiece is the spacious, loft-like living/dining room, where high ceilings, exposed brick walls and a beautiful working brick fireplace give the space warmth and true character. There is ample room for both generous seating and a large dining table, making this a home that works equally well for entertaining and everyday life.

The large open kitchen connects naturally to the living and dining areas, while hardwood floors and good closet space throughout further complement the apartment. There are two large bedrooms, with both sharing the same remarkably peaceful interior setting.

Laundry could hardly be more convenient: the washer and dryer are just around the corner on the same floor. For those who prefer laundry within the apartment, washer/dryers are also permitted with Board approval.

A prewar cooperative with a 24-hour attended lobby and live-in superintendent, the Endicott was originally built at the turn of the 20th century as the Hotel Endicott, and later reimagined by architect Stephen B. Jacobs, who modernized its 144 residences while preserving the character of the original design. Today, The Endicott retains a distinctive prewar presence, with an ornate orange and beige brick facade, projecting bay windows and a columned entrance that reflects its history. Perfectly located with Columbus Avenue's restaurants, cafés and shopping begin right outside your door, while the M79 crosstown bus stops across the street, the B/C subway is down the block, and the 1 train is also nearby.

Pets and pied-à-terre ownership are permitted.

For someone who wants to be in the middle of everything but doesn't necessarily want to hear it, #524 offers a particularly appealing combination: space, character, light and extraordinary quiet in one of the best locations on the Upper West Side. Flip tax amount equal to $244 per share, paid by seller.
