DARI ZA JUU

Wasanifu majengo wa mwishoni mwa karne ya kumi na tisa wa nyumba za mjini za Manhattan waliona kuwa urefu wa dari wa futi 11 hadi 13 kwenye ghorofa ya saluni ulikuwa unaofaa. Kinyume chake, wamiliki wa 143 West 94th Street, katika ukarabati wao wa mwaka 2019, waliona kuwa dari zenye urefu wa futi 17 na 20 zilidhihirisha vyema zaidi ubunifu na matamanio ya familia yao, na ziliwasilisha ujumbe wa kipekee zaidi. Wamiliki walikuwa sahihi, na unapotembelea nyumba hii ya kisasa, nawe utafurahishwa na huenda ukastaajabishwa na mwanga na hewa waliyoleta.

Ikiwa na vyumba 5 vya kulala na bafu 4.5, nyumba hii yenye ghorofa 4, upana wa futi 20 na iliyokarabatiwa hivi karibuni pia ina basement iliyokamilishwa. Kiwanja hiki kiko nje ya Wilaya ya Kihistoria ya UWS Landmark, na kwa FAR ya 3.44 jengo linaweza kupanuliwa hadi karibu futi za mraba 7,000 (thibitisha na msanifu wako).

Nyumba hii ni sehemu ya safu iliyosalia ya nyumba za mjini za kihistoria kwenye West 94th na West 95th Streets. Kwa kushangaza, yadi za nyuma za nyumba zilizo kaskazini kwenye West 95th Street na nyumba zilizo jirani kwenye West 94th hazijaongezewa majengo ya nyuma yanayovamia nafasi, jambo linalofanya eneo hili pana la yadi za nyuma kuwa mojawapo ya maeneo ya wazi na yenye mwanga mwingi wa jua utakayoyapata Manhattan.

Nyumba hii iko umbali rahisi kutoka shule kadhaa bora za binafsi za UWS: Columbia Grammar kwenye West 94th, Trinity kwenye West 91st, Dwight kwenye West 89th, Studio School kwenye West 95th, na Montessori kwenye West 96th. Treni za chini ya ardhi 1, 2, 3 na B, C ziko chini ya umbali wa kutembea wa vitalu 2. Mabasi ya kuelekea sehemu za juu na za chini za jiji yako umbali wa nusu ya kitalu.

HIGH CEILINGS

The late Nineteenth Century architects of Manhattan townhouses thought 11 to 13 foot parlor floor ceiling heights were about right. In contrast, the owners of 143 West 94th Street in their 2019 renovation thought 17' and 20' ceilings better reflected their creative family whims and made more of a statement. The owners were right and when you tour this contemporary home you too will be pleased and perhaps awed by the light and air they created.

Configured as 5 bedrooms with 4.5 baths, this 4 story 20' wide recently renovated home also has a finished cellar. The property is outside of the UWS Landmark District and with an FAR of 3.44 the building can be enlarged to nearly 7,000 sq. ft. (confirm with your architect).

This house is part of a surviving row of historic townhouses on West 94th and West 95th Streets. Surprisingly the rear yards of the houses to the north on West 95th Street and the abutting houses on West 94th have had no intrusive rear extensions added which makes the expanse of these rear yards one of the most open and sunfilled oasis you will find in Manhattan.

The home is located within easy distance of several top UWS private schools: Columbia Grammar on West 94th, Trinity on West 91st, Dwight on West 89th, Studio School on West 95th, and Montessori on West 96th. The subways 1, 2, 3 and B,C are less than 2 blocks walk. Uptown and downtown buses are half a block.
