查尔斯街88号——一套顶楼朝南的阳光公寓，适合仍相信和平的人。

不可否认，这是纽约市最渴望的街区之一。而且这个数学很简单：在这个疯狂的租房环境中，为什么不花这个钱去拥有自己的家呢？

公寓位于顶层。阳光明媚。天花板很高，厨房有窗，浴室有窗，后面两个朝南的大窗户能看到宁静而非混乱。我想明确的是，这些都不应被视为理所当然。

你能得到的：

一个朝南的顶楼栖息地，两个大窗户和那种让人怀疑城市是否终于放弃了自己的安静——尽管并没有，但你不会听到。
一个可以放下全床或大床的卧室，旁边有两个窗户，比纽约大多数卧室多两个窗户。
一个开放式厨房——如前所述带窗，因为显然这里有人相信自然光和交叉通风。
两个壁橱，在这个城市，这被律师称作“充足的储藏空间”，而我认为这是“一个小奇迹”。
一个带窗的浴室，我拒绝将其视为理所当然。

实用信息（既然你问了）：

允许安装洗衣机/干衣机，需经计划和董事会批准。
欢迎宠物——该楼宇对狗和猫没有偏见。
一年后允许转租（三分之一）。
适合临时住所。
月维护费用低。

建筑：
查尔斯街88号是一座五层的历史保护砖砌联排别墅，建于1880年左右，是84–88查尔斯街业主公司的一部分——一个45户的合作社，尽管面临重重困难，却始终保持着应有的样子：美观、宁静、无扰。五层楼有二十个公寓。没有礼宾服务，没有健身房，没有“配套设施楼层”。你是个成年人，你不需要那些。

街区：
我走过曼哈顿的大多数街区，其中一些还不错。查尔斯街，在格林威治街和哈德逊街之间，不是还不错——而是正确。它正是这个城市的街道应有的样子：树木成荫，联排建筑，历史完好，完全没有那种让你觉得城市放弃了自己的开发项目。哈德逊河在附近。华盛顿广场公园在附近。你可能需要的每一条地铁都在附近。餐厅都很棒。我不会列出来。你住在纽约——去找找吧。

简要历史，因为背景很重要：
这条街是以查尔斯·克里斯托弗·阿莫斯命名的，他拥有这条街经过的土地，同时也负责克里斯托弗街和前阿莫斯街（现称西第十街）。在1866年至1936年间，查尔斯街88号所处的精确街区称为范尼斯广场，以一户直到1865年居住在该方块的农场家庭命名。城市重新命名了它。城市总是重新命名东西。至少这个名字保留了下来。

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.
