88 查爾斯街 — 一間面向南方的頂樓陽光公寓，適合仍然相信和平的人。

毫無疑問，這是紐約市最受追捧的街區之一。數學不假：在這個瘋狂的租房市場中，為何不花這筆錢去擁有自己的家呢？

這間公寓位於頂樓。陽光明媚。天花板很高，廚房有窗戶，浴室有窗戶，後方有兩扇面向南方的大窗戶，外面是安靜而非喧囂。我想明確表示，這一切都不應被視為理所當然。

您將獲得：

一個面向南方的頂樓小窩，擁有兩扇大窗戶以及一種讓您懷疑城市是否最終放棄了的安靜——事實上並沒有，但你聽不見它的喧囂
一間可容納全尺寸或皇后型床的臥室，兩側有兩扇窗戶，這比紐約大多數臥室應有的窗戶多出兩扇
一個開放式廚房——如前所述有窗，因為顯然這裡有人信仰自然光和交叉通風
兩個衣帽間，在這城市裡也就是律師所謂的 “充足儲存”，我稱之為 “一個小奇蹟”
一間帶窗的浴室，我拒絕將其視為理所當然

實用資訊（既然您問了）：

洗衣機/烘乾機須經計劃和董事會批准
歡迎寵物——這棟樓不對狗和貓有歧視。
一年後允許轉租（每五年三次）
適合臨時居住者
每月維護費低。

建築概況：
88 查爾斯是一棟五層的標誌性磚褐石建築，建於1880年左右，是84–88查爾斯街業主股份公司的部分——這是一個45單位的合作社，克服了重重困難，保持著應有的樣子：優雅、安靜、無擾動。五層樓共二十間公寓。沒有門房，沒有健身房，也沒有 “設施樓層”。你已經是成年人，不需要這些。

街區：
我走過了曼哈頓的大多數街區。其中一些還不錯。查爾斯街，位於格林威治和哈德遜之間，並不只是 “不錯”——它是 “正確的”。這條街就是這座城市應有的樣子：樹蔭成行，褐石建築，歷史完整，完全沒有那種讓人覺得城市已經放棄自己的開發。哈德遜河在附近。華盛頓廣場公園在附近。每個你可能需要的地鐵都在附近。餐廳極佳。我不會列出來。你住在紐約——去找吧。

簡短歷史，因為背景很重要：
這條街是以查爾斯·克里斯多福·阿莫斯命名的，他擁有貫穿這條街的土地，也負責克里斯多福街和以前的阿莫斯街（現為西十街）。1866年到1936年之間，88查爾斯所在的確切街區被稱為范內斯廣場，以一個在1865年之前佔據那個正方形街區的農業家庭命名。這座城市重新命名了它。城市總是在重新命名事物。至少這個名字留了下來。

88 Charles Street — A Top-Floor South Facing Sunny Apartment for People Who Still Believe in Peace.

It is incontrovertible that this is one of the most coveted blocks in NYC. And the math maths: why rent in this crazy rental climate when you can spend this money for your own home?

The apartment is on the top floor. It is sunny. The ceilings are high, the kitchen has a window, the bathroom has a window, and the two large south-facing windows in the back look out onto quiet rather than chaos. I want to be clear that none of this should be taken for granted.

What You Get:

A top-floor perch that faces south, with two large windows and the kind of quiet that makes you wonder if the city has finally given up — it hasn't, but you won't hear it
A bedroom that fits a full or queen, flanked by two windows, which is two more windows than most bedrooms in New York deserve
An open kitchen — windowed, as previously noted, because apparently someone here believed in natural light and cross-ventilation
Two hall closets, which in this city constitutes what lawyers call "ample storage" and what I call "a minor miracle"
A windowed bath, which I refuse to take for granted

The Practicalities (Since You Asked):

Washer/dryer allowed with a plan and board approval
Pets welcome — the building is not prejudiced against dogs and cats.
Sublets permitted after one year (three out of every five)
Pied-à-terre friendly
Monthly maintenance is low.

The Building:
88 Charles is a five-story landmarked brick brownstone, built circa 1880, part of the 84–88 Charles Street Owners Corp — a 45-unit cooperative that has managed, against considerable odds, to remain exactly what it should be: handsome, quiet, and unbothered. Twenty apartments across five stories. No concierge, no gym, no "amenity floor." You are an adult. You don't need all that.
The Block:
I have walked most blocks in Manhattan. Some of them are fine. Charles Street, between Greenwich and Hudson, is not fine — it is correct. It is what a street in this city is supposed to look like: tree-lined, brownstoned, historically intact, and entirely free of the kind of development that makes you feel the city has given up on itself. The Hudson River is nearby. Washington Square Park is nearby. Every subway you could possibly need is nearby. The restaurants are excellent. I won't list them. You live in New York — go find them.
A Brief History, Because Context Matters:
The street was named for Charles Christopher Amos, who owned the land the street passed through and who is also responsible for Christopher Street and the former Amos Street (now West 10th). Between 1866 and 1936, the precise block where 88 Charles sits was called Van Ness Place, named for a farming family who occupied that square block until 1865. The city renamed it. The city is always renaming things. At least this one stuck.
