W. H. Cornell kuća, često nazvana "kuća torta za vjenčanje" zbog svojih kovrčavih božićnih ukrasa duž strehe, izgrađena je za W. H. Cornella 1865. godine. Izgrađena od drveta, ima cigleni temelj i jedinstvene prozore od kovanog željeza na prednjoj strani, koji nude široke poglede na Gerry Park i ribnjake preko ceste.

Zadovoljite se poviješću u ovoj šarmantnoj kući u gotičkom revivalnom stilu, gdje povijesni karakter susreće modernu udobnost u savršenoj harmoniji. Ova pažljivo renovirana kuća s 3/4 spavaće sobe i 2 kupaonice na 1/4 jutra prikazuje klasične drvene obloge, dok nudi suvremene pogodnosti na 2100 četvornih metara stambenog prostora.

Nedavna (2025.) sveobuhvatna obnova donosi svježu energiju u svaki kutak, s potpuno novim krovom, ažuriranim podovima, krovnim prozorima, centralnim grijanjem, svježe obojenim zidovima, zapanjujućom novom kuhinjom koja uravnotežuje šarm tog razdoblja s modernom funkcionalnošću, i predivno ažuriranim kupaonicama -- jer dok je povijest prekrasna, moderna vodovodna instalacija je još bolja! Prostrana spavaća soba na glavnoj etaži nudi jednostavan pristup, a uređen podrum pruža dodatni prostor za rekreaciju ili slobodne aktivnosti. Ipak, unatoč svim ažuriranjima, i dalje ćete biti dočekani stropovima s gredama bogatim karakterom, staklenim prozorima s olovnim staklima i dijamantima, i elegantnim arhivskim pregradnim zidom između dnevnog boravka i blagovaonice, svi ostaci priča prošlih vremena. Prostrano i privatno dvorište stvara idealno mjesto za zabavu ili uživanje u mirnim trenucima.

Nalazi se u povijesnom području Roslyna, nekretnina nudi najbolje od oba svijeta -- miran gradski život s urbanom dostupnošću. Željeznička stanica Long Island Rail Road je u blizini, što čini putovanje do New York Cityja jednostavnim i učinkovitom. Kolekcija restorana vrhunske kuhinje (jedan gdje je George Washington navodno imao doručak) i posebnih trgovina u Roslyn Villageu udaljena je samo nekoliko koraka. Možda je najvredniji dragulj ove nekretnine njena blizina Gerry Parku s njegovim slikovitim ribnjacima, perivojem, klupama i Bryant knjižnicom -- sve to samo preko ceste. Osim toga, renomirani školski okrug Roslyn poznat je po svojim superiornim obrazovnim standardima.

Ova rijetka kombinacija povijesne elegancije, modernih ažuriranja, prirodne ljepote i dostupnosti prijevoza stvara izvanrednu priliku za zahtevne kupce koji traže uglednu kuću koja nudi sve -- zaista posebnu rezidenciju koja čeka svoje sljedeće poglavlje.

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.
