Kuća W. H. Cornella, često nazvana "Kuća s tortom za vjenčanje" zbog svojih ukrašenih drvenih obruba uz nadstrešnice, izgrađena je za W. H. Cornella 1865. godine. Izgrađena od drva, ima temelj od opeke i jedinstvene prozore od kovane željeza na prednjoj strani, koji nude široke poglede na Gerry Park i ribnjake preko ulice.

Krenite unatrag u vrijeme u ovu šarmantnu kuću u gotičkom revivalu gdje se povijesni karakter susreće s modernom udobnošću u savršenoj harmoniji. Ova pažljivo renovirana rezidencija s 3/4 spavaće sobe i 2 kupaonice na 1/4 hektara prikazuje klasičnu oblogu od dasaka i letvica dok nudi moderne pogodnosti na 2100 četvornih metara stambenog prostora.

Nedavna (2025.) opsežna renovacija donosi novu energiju u svaki kutak, s potpuno novim krovom, ažuriranom podnom oblogom, krovnim prozorima, centralnim grijanjem, svježe pripremljenim zidovima, zapanjujućom novom kuhinjom koja balansira periodični šarm s suvremenom funkcionalnošću, i lijepo obnovljenim kupaonicama -- jer iako je povijest prekrasna, moderna vodovodna instalacija je još bolja! Prostrana spavaća soba na glavnoj etaži pruža jednostavan pristup, a uređeni podrum nudi dodatni prostor za rekreaciju ili slobodne aktivnosti. Ipak, uz sve te nadogradnje, još uvijek ćete biti dočekani stropovima s gredama bogatim karakterom, prozorima sa staklenim rešetkama i dijamantnim staklima, te elegantnim lukom odvojnikom između dnevnog boravka i blagovaonice, sve ostatke priča prošlih vremena. Prostrano i privatno dvorište stvara idealno mjesto za zabavu ili uživanje u tihim trenucima.

Smještena u Povijesnoj četvrti Roslyn, nekretnina nudi najbolje od svih svjetova -- miran život u predgrađu s urbanom pristupačnošću. Stanica Long Island Railway je u blizini, čineći putovanje do New Yorka lakim i učinkovitom. Zbirka gurmanskih restorana (jedan gdje je George Washington navodno doručkovao) i posebne trgovine u selu Roslyn su na dohvat ruke. Možda je najljepši dragulj lokacije ove nekretnine njezina blizina Gerry Parku s idiličnim ribnjacima, pergolom, klupama i knjižnicom Bryant -- sve to samo preko ulice. Osim toga, poznati školski okrug Roslyn ističe se svojim vrhunskim obrazovnim standardima.

Ova rijetka kombinacija povijesne elegancije, modernih nadogradnji, prirodne ljepote i praktične prometne povezanosti stvara iznimnu priliku za probrane kupce koji traže uglednu kuću koja nudi sve -- zaista posebnu rezidenciju koja čeka svoju sljedeću priču.

The W. H. Cornell House, often referred to as the "Wedding Cake House" because of its curlicued gingerbread trim along the eaves, was built for W. H. Cornell in 1865. Constructed of wood, it has a brick foundation and unique wrought iron casement windows across the front, offering extensive views of Gerry Park and ponds across the street.
