Penthouse ya Ghorofa Mbili yenye Terasi Binafsi ya Paa

Inavutia tangu dakika ya kwanza kabisa, penthouse hii ya ghorofa mbili iko juu ya jengo la kihistoria la brownstone la miaka ya 1890 linalomilikiwa kwa mfumo wa ushirika, likitoa mchanganyiko adimu wa haiba ya usanifu na urahisi wa maisha ya kisasa. Hata kabla ya kuingia, kazi za awali za mbao na fachada iliyohifadhiwa huashiria kuwa hii ni nyumba ya kipekee kweli. Ndani, hisia ya ukubwa na haiba hujitokeza mara moja. Dari zenye urefu wa zaidi ya futi 12, sakafu maridadi za mbao ngumu, na madirisha makubwa yaliyopambwa kwa mbao yenye shutters zake za awali huunda sehemu ya kuishi yenye joto na iliyojaa mwanga. Madirisha matatu makubwa yanayoelekea kaskazini huingiza mwanga wa asili siku nzima, huku meko la kuni likitoa kitovu cha faraja na umaridadi usiozeeka. Sehemu ya kuhifadhia vitu iliyoundwa kwa ustadi juu ya jikoni huongeza matumizi na haiba kwa pamoja. Mpangilio wa nyumba hii ni wa manufaa na wenye kuvutia. Jikoni kubwa lililotenganishwa lina mashine ya kuosha vyombo, jiko la gesi, na chumba kikubwa cha kuhifadhia vyakula—linalofaa kabisa kwa maisha ya kisasa. Bafu kamili na kabati kubwa kupita kawaida vinakamilisha ghorofa kuu.

Juu, chumba cha kulala na bafu la nusu vinatoa hali halisi ya mapumziko. Dari refu, mwelekeo wa kaskazini na kusini, pamoja na madirisha makubwa huleta upepo mwanana unaopita ndani na mwanga wa asili uliolegea siku nzima. Ukuta mzima wa makabati hutoa nafasi ya kutosha ya kuhifadhia vitu, huku muunganiko usio na mshono na terasi binafsi ya nje ukitoa mtindo wa maisha unaounganisha ndani na nje—wenye amani na wa hali ya juu.

Terasi kubwa ya paa ni kivutio cha pekee—mahali pa faragha angani ambapo unaweza kupumzika, kuwaalika wageni, na kufurahia mandhari pana ya anga la Jiji la New York. Ni mazingira yenye utulivu, lakini bado yameunganishwa kwa karibu na nguvu na msisimko wa jiji. Jengo linaruhusu kufungwa kwa mashine ya kufulia na mashine ya kukausha ndani ya nyumba kwa idhini ya bodi, na ghorofa hii ina nafasi ya kutosha kwa ajili hiyo. Vistawishi vya ziada vinajumuisha sehemu ya kuhifadhia vitu kwenye basementi na chumba cha kufulia. (Samahani, mbwa hawaruhusiwi—paka wanakaribishwa.) Iko katika jengo la brownstone la miaka ya 1890, kwenye mojawapo ya mitaa yenye kuvutia zaidi ya Upper West Side iliyo na miti pande zote, nyumba hii ya ushirika ina ada ndogo za kila mwezi za matengenezo na inaruhusu upangishaji wa muda pamoja na matumizi kama makazi ya pili. Ikiwa umbali mfupi tu kutoka Central Park, American Museum of Natural History, na maeneo mahiri ya migahawa na ununuzi kando ya Amsterdam na Columbus Avenues, eneo hili linatoa mtindo wa maisha wa kipekee. Ufikiaji wa karibu wa treni za chini ya ardhi za Jiji la New York (B/C katika 81st Street na treni ya 1 katika 79th Street), pamoja na basi la M79 linalovuka jiji, huhakikisha usafiri rahisi na wa kuaminika.

Ikiwa ndani ya brownstone ya kawaida ya mtindo wa Neo-Grec, makazi haya ya aina yake yanaonyesha haiba, historia, na mvuto wa kudumu unaotambulisha maisha ya Upper West Side—nyumba ya kuvutia inayohisi kuwa na mizizi katika yaliyopita, lakini iliyoundwa kikamilifu kwa maisha ya leo.
