Mara tu unapoingia katika makazi haya ya kondominium yanayochukua ghorofa nzima, yenye vyumba 3 vya kulala na bafu 3, utavutiwa sana na ukubwa wa sebule, matuta mawili makubwa, pamoja na mandhari pana iliyo mbele yako. Lakini ni jinsi vipengele hivi vinavyoungana ndiyo itakayokuvutia kwa dhati.

Baada ya yote, sebule yenye mpangilio wa wazi ina nafasi ya kutosha kwa namna ambayo ujenzi mpya wa sasa hauwezi kutoa, na eneo la futi za mraba 500 la madirisha kati ya sehemu ya ndani na mtaro wa moja kwa moja wa kuishi huimarisha hisia hiyo ya uwazi ambayo sote tunaitamani.

Kwa mtindo usio wa kawaida, hebu tuanze na chumba cha wageni/bafu la tatu, kilicho kando ya ukumbi wa kuingilia. Kina dirisha kubwa linalofika urefu wote wa ukuta ndani ya sehemu ya kuogea, likitengeneza hisia ya kuoga nje huku ukitazama mto. Faragha si tatizo, kwa kuwa hakuna jengo lingine linaloonekana.

Ukiwa na ukubwa wa futi 16 kwa 10, ukumbi wa kuingilia una nafasi ya kutosha kwa eneo la kukalia na kuhifadhi kigari cha mtoto. Muunganisho wake na sebule pana hufanya kila kitu kihisi kuwa cha kipekee zaidi.

Sebule/chumba cha chakula pamoja na jiko kubwa lenye mpangilio wa wazi na kaunta yake ya kati ya marumaru ya Carrera yenye urefu wa futi 12, inayoning’inia bila tegemeo, ni mambo ya ndoto. Chumba kama hiki ni cha kipekee si kwa ukubwa wake pekee, bali pia kwa urefu wa dari, ukuta mpana wa vioo, na mtaro uliopambwa kwa mimea unaoelekea kaskazini wenye ukubwa wa futi za mraba 500 na unaoungana moja kwa moja na nyumba. Macho yako huvutwa na mandhari isiyozuiwa, ikiwemo Central Park na Mto East, jambo linalokifanya kiwe cha matumizi bora sana na pia cha kuvutia kwa macho, huku kikikuunganisha moja kwa moja na jiji wakati wote wa siku na mwaka.

Kila nilichoeleza hadi sasa ni nusu tu ya nyumba hii, kwa kuwa nyuma ya jiko pana kuna vyumba vitatu vya kulala, mabafu mawili, sehemu ya kufulia yenye ukubwa kamili, na mtaro mwingine wa futi za mraba 500.

Chumba kikuu cha kulala kina bafu la ndani lenye starehe ya kipekee, likiwa na beseni linalosimama lenyewe, sehemu kubwa sana ya kuogea ya kuingia ndani, kabati la nguo la kuingia ndani lenye ukuta mzima wa madirisha, pamoja na ufikiaji wa mtaro wa pili.

Vyumba vya pili na vya tatu vya kulala vina ukubwa unaofanana, hivyo upendeleo pekee ni nani atakayepata mlango wa pili wa kuelekea mtaroni.

Matuta mawili ya nyumba hii yana ukubwa unaofanana; kila moja ni kubwa vya kutosha kuweka meza za chakula za ukubwa wowote, na yote yana mandhari ya wazi ya maji—moja likielekea kaskazini na jingine kusini. Hivyo, unaweza kuchagua mtaro unaofaa zaidi kulingana na muda wa siku, mwelekeo wa upepo, au mandhari unayotaka tu.

Nyumba hii ni ya kipekee kweli—na baada ya kuandaa hifadhidata yenye zaidi ya nyumba 9,000 zenye matuta huko Manhattan, tunajua kutofautisha kitu cha kipekee na kitu ambacho ni adimu tu.

Nyumba hii pia ina maboresho muhimu ya “ubora wa maisha,” yakiwemo sakafu za mbao zenye mbao pana, vifaa vya kisasa vya hali ya juu, sakafu zenye joto katika mabafu yote matatu, mfumo wa HVAC wenye kanda 5 unaodhibitiwa na vidhibiti joto vya Google Nest, mfumo wa burudani wa SONOS wenye kanda 5 unaodhibitiwa na Savant, Wi-Fi katika nyumba nzima ikiwemo matuta yote mawili, vifaa vya burudani vya nje, pamoja na mandhari ya mimea iliyotunzwa kwa ustadi na mfumo mahiri wa umwagiliaji.

Hata hivyo, mambo hayaishii hapo, kwa sababu nyumba hii inauzwa pamoja na nafasi ya maegesho yenye hati miliki. Huduma za jengo hilo zinajumuisha sebule ya wakazi yenye ukumbi wa nje wa kuota jua, sehemu ya kuota jua juu ya paa, hifadhi ya baiskeli, na huduma za mhudumu wa mapokezi. Na unapozingatia kwamba uko umbali wa mtaa mmoja tu kutoka FDR, na chini ya yadi 100 kutoka kituo cha treni ya chini ya ardhi cha Q, unatambua kwamba: nyumba hii ni ya kipekee na inastahili kuzingatiwa kwako.

The moment you enter this full-floor 3-bed, 3-bath condo residence, you'll be blown away by the scale of the living room, by the two large terraces, and by the open vistas beyond. But it is in the way these come together that will truly captivate.

After all, the open plan living room is generous in a way that current new construction never is, and the 500 SF of glass between the indoor space and direct living terrace enhances that open feel we all crave.

In an unusual twist, let's start with the powder room/3rd bath, located off the foyer, which features an oversized, full-height window in the shower, creating the feel of an outdoor shower with river views (privacy is not an issue with no other building in sight).

At 16 x 10 ft, the entry foyer provides ample room for a sitting area and stroller parking. Its connectivity with the spacious living room makes everything feel even more exceptional.

The living/dining room and very generous open kitchen with its 12-foot Carrera marble floating kitchen island are the stuff of dreams. Such a room is unique not just for its scale, but also for its ceiling height, glass curtain wall, and connected 500sf north-facing landscaped terrace. Your eyes are drawn to the unobstructed views, including those of Central Park and the East River, making it supremely practical and a visual joy, directly connecting you with the city at all times of the day and year.

All I described so far is only half of this home, as behind the ample kitchen are three bedrooms, two bathrooms, full-sized laundry, and a whole other 500sf terrace.

The primary bedroom has an exceptionally comfortable ensuite with a free-standing tub, enormous walk-in shower, walk-in closet with its own full wall of windows, and access to the second terrace.

The second and third bedrooms are similarly sized, so the only favoritism is in who gets the second entrance to the terrace.

The home's two terraces are similarly sized; each is large enough for dining tables of any size and both have open water views, with one facing North and the other facing South. So, you can pick the perfect terrace for the time of day, the wind direction, or simply your desired view.

This home is truly uniqueand after curating a database with over 9,000 terraced homes in Manhattan, we know unique from merely rare.

This home also offers crucial "quality of life" upgrades, including wide-plank hardwood floors, a state-of-the-art appliances package, heated floors in all three bathrooms, 5-zone HVAC with Google Nest thermostats, 5-zone SONOS media system controlled by Savant, full home WiFi (including both terraces), outdoor media, and perfectly cultivated landscaping with smart irrigation.

However, it does not stop there, because this unit transfers with a deeded parting spot. The building amenities include a residents' lounge with sundeck patio, a rooftop sundeck, bike storage, and concierge services. And when you consider you are only one block from the FDR, and less than 100 yards from the Q subway, you realize: this home is something special and worth your consideration.
