Sehemu adimu ya mahali pa kuchomea kuni inayofanya kazi ndiyo inayoweka mvuto wa nyumba hii ya kawaida ya chumba kimoja cha kulala iliyoko Lenox Hill, katika jengo lililojengwa kabla ya vita; ina dari zenye mihimili, nafasi bora ya kabati, mwanga mwingi na madirisha mengi yanayoelekea magharibi na kaskazini.

Sebule yenye hadhi bado imehifadhi sifa zake za awali, ikiwa na dari zilizopambwa kwa paneli zilizozama, sakafu mpya za mbao za mwaloni zilizopigwa msasa na kutiwa rangi, mapambo ya ukingo yaliyofanyiwa kazi kwa ustadi, pamoja na taa za ukutani za mtindo wa Art Deco. Chumba cha kulala chenye nafasi ya kitanda cha ukubwa wa king kina pande mbili zenye madirisha; mlango wa tao unaelekea kwenye makabati mawili ya awali, pamoja na kabati jingine kubwa la kuingia ndani lenye nafasi ya kuvutia. Bafu lenye dirisha limehifadhi sifa zake za kabla ya vita, likiwa na vigae vya marumaru, sinki lenye nguzo na beseni la kuogea la chuma kilichoyeyushwa.

Jikoni angavu la mtindo wa galley, lenye madirisha, lina meza za granite, friji mpya ya chuma kisichoshika kutu, oveni ya microwave na nafasi ya kutosha ya kuhifadhia vitu. Eneo kubwa la wazi la kulia chakula, lililozungukwa na rafu zilizojengwa ndani, linakamilisha mpangilio wa nyumba.

Likijengwa mwaka 1931 na wasanifu mashuhuri George na Edward Blum, jengo lililoko 315 East 68th Street linafikiwa kwa urahisi kutoka baadhi ya mikahawa bora ya jiji, maduka, hospitali kuu na wilaya ya biashara ya Midtown; mabasi ya kuvuka jiji na treni ya Q viko karibu kabisa.

Jengo hili lina huduma ya mlinzi wa lango saa 24 kwa siku, mhudumu wa wageni na msimamizi anayeishi ndani ya jengo, pamoja na ua wa mbele wenye bustani, bustani ya paa, chumba cha kufulia, kituo cha mazoezi, hifadhi ya baiskeli na nafasi binafsi ya kuhifadhia. Wanunuzi wa pamoja, wadhamini na wanunuzi wa makazi ya muda wanakaribishwa, huku ufadhili wa hadi asilimia 75 ukiruhusiwa. Wanyama wa kufugwa na mashine za kufulia na kukausha zilizo ndani ya nyumba zinaruhusiwa, kwa kutegemea idhini ya bodi.

A rare working wood-burning fireplace sets the tone in this classic Lenox Hill prewar one-bedroom, complete with beamed ceilings, excellent closet space, great light and plenty of windows with western and northern exposures.

The gracious living room retains original character, with coffered ceilings, newly sanded and stained oak-strip hardwood floors, detailed moldings, and Art Deco style sconces. The king-sized bedroom has two exposures, an arched doorway leads to the two original closets plus an additional dreamy expansive walk-in closet. The windowed bathroom retains its prewar character with marble tiling, pedestal sink and cast-iron tub.

The bright, windowed galley kitchen features granite countertops, a new stainless-steel refrigerator and microwave and ample storage. A generous open dining area, flanked by built-in shelving, rounds out the layout.

Built in 1931 by renowned architects George and Edward Blum, 315 East 68th Street conveniently located near some of the city's great restaurants, shops, major hospitals, and the Midtown business district, with crosstown buses and the Q train just around the corner.
