Kitengo cha 10 katika 891 Park Avenue ni kito adimu kilichojengwa ndani ya moyo wa Upper East Side. Makazi haya maridadi yanayochukua ghorofa nzima yana vyumba viwili vya kulala, bafu mbili na nusu, pamoja na solariamu iliyopangwa kwa mpangilio wa kifahari.

Eneo la faragha la kutokea kwenye lifti, lililopambwa kwa ustadi wa hali ya juu, linaweka mtindo wa ukumbi mpana wa kuingilia uliopambwa kwa vipengele vya kawaida vya kabla ya vita, ikiwemo mapambo ya ukutani na njia ya zamani ya kupitishia barua iliyohifadhiwa—kipengele adimu kupatikana ndani ya makazi. Kando tu ya ukumbi wa kuingilia, likitazama Park Avenue kupitia madirisha matatu makubwa yanayoelekea magharibi, kuna sebule ya kifahari pamoja na chumba cha kulia. Rafu ya mahali pa moto ya gesi iliyo kando ya ukuta wa kaskazini, iliyotengenezwa kwa marumaru ya Sienna iliyochongwa kwa mkono na kupambwa kwa maelezo ya dhahabu ya Ormolu, iliyookolewa kutoka Hoteli ya The Plaza, ndiyo kitovu cha chumba hiki. Kabati zilizojengwa ukutani zenye rafu za vioo, zilizowekwa kwa ulinganifu kila upande wa kipengele hiki cha kuvutia, zinafaa kabisa kuwa baa ndogo ya vinywaji au maktaba ya nyumbani kwa msomaji mwenye bidii.

Eneo la kulia lenye madirisha, lililo karibu na sebule, linawezesha mtiririko mzuri wakati wa kuwakaribisha wageni. Mwanga wa asili huingia kwa wingi kupitia madirisha mapana na kung’arisha sakafu za mbao nyeupe zinazopatikana katika nyumba nzima. Jikoni lenye mwonekano wa kupendeza, lililo umbali mfupi tu kutoka eneo la kulia, ni la matumizi na lenye mtindo kwa wakati mmoja. Madirisha maalum ya Kifaransa ya Makazi Nambari 10 yaliundwa ili jikoni lihisi kama eneo lake binafsi lenye madhumuni maalum, huku likiruhusu mwanga mwingi wa asili kuingia. Kipengele hiki cha mapambo, pamoja na vifaa vya shaba na dhahabu, huleta mguso wa rangi katikati ya makabati safi yenye mng’ao mweupe. Vipengele vya mwisho vya jikoni hili lililobuniwa kwa ustadi ni pamoja na jiko la Wolf lenye macho sita na kofia ya kutoa hewa, pamoja na vifaa vilivyofunikwa kwa paneli, ikiwemo droo mbili za friji za SubZero na mashine ya kuosha vyombo ya Bosch. Kabati za chuma cha pua zilizochaguliwa kutoka jengo la New York Times zinaongeza mguso wa mwisho wa kweli wa New York katika jikoni hili la kifahari la Park Avenue.

Matao marefu yenye kuta nyingi za kutundikia sanaa yanaweka vyumba vya kulala katika upande tofauti wa makazi na kutenganisha vizuri maeneo mbalimbali. Vyumba vyote viwili vya kulala vimejificha katika upande wa mashariki wenye utulivu wa ghorofa, hivyo kutoa amani na faragha. Chumba kikuu cha kulala chenye ukubwa wa kitanda cha mfalme kina madirisha yanayoelekea kusini na mashariki, na kinaweza kuhifadhi kabati kubwa la nguo kutokana na kabati lake pana la kuingia. Bafu la marumaru lililo ndani ya chumba hicho, lililoboreshwa kwa sakafu zenye joto na bafu la vioo lenye mtindo wa spa, linakamilisha kikamilifu eneo hili la kifahari la mapumziko. Chumba cha pili cha kulala pia ni kikubwa, kikiwa na bafu kamili la ndani na solariamu ya kuvutia inayotoa sehemu bora ya kuketi.

Vipengele vingine vya makazi haya ya kifahari ni pamoja na choo cha wageni na kabati la kufulia lenye mashine ya Samsung ya kuosha na kukausha nguo iliyopangwa kwa safu, ndani ya nyumba. Mapambo ya ukingo wa juu na chini wa kuta, dari zenye mihimili, taa zilizozamishwa, nafasi nyingi za kuhifadhi, pamoja na mfumo wa kupasha joto na kiyoyozi, vinapatikana katika nyumba nzima. Chumba binafsi cha kuhifadhia vitu kwenye basement kinahamishwa pamoja na mauzo ya nyumba.

Hii ni fursa adimu ya kumiliki makazi yanayochukua ghorofa nzima katika jengo dogo la ushirika lenye haiba, lenye vitengo 15 pekee.

Kodi za hapa hazijumuishwi katika ada ya matengenezo ya kila mwezi, bali zinalipwa kupitia tathmini ya kodi ya mali isiyohamishika ya kila baada ya miezi sita yenye thamani ya dola 11,235. Ada ya uhamisho ya asilimia 3 italipwa na mnunuzi.
