Nasljeđe umjetnika: remek-djelo na šest katova u Greenwich Villageu

Uđite u komadić povijesti New Yorka na adresi 125 West 11th Street, veličanstvenoj vili u stilu grčke obnove koja je više od jednog stoljeća služila kao kreativno utočište. Ljubazno održavana od strane iste obitelji gotovo 70 godina, ova grandiozna rezidencija je pažljivo ažurirana i modernizirana u pripremi za sljedeće poglavlje u njenoj slavnoj povijesti.

Ova izvanredna, 22 ft široka obiteljska kuća može se pohvaliti s gotovo 8,000 četvornih stopa unutarnjeg prostora, uz više od 800 četvornih stopa privatnog vanjskog prostora i modernim liftom koji besprijekorno povezuje svih šest katova.

Povijest unutar ovih zidova je opipljiva. Datira još iz 1849. godine, kuća je postala živopisno središte umjetnosti. U 1880-im, poznati kipar Daniel Chester French (autor sjedeće figure na Lincoln Memorialu) dizajnirao je i izgradio najimpresivniju prostoriju u kući: spektakularni studio sa panelima koji se proteže 54 stopa duboko i uzdiže prema dva vrha visoka 30 stopa uz tri kolosalna krovna prozora. Dekade kasnije, moderna plesačica Valerie Bettis koristila je ovaj studio za koreografiranje rutina za Hollywood i Broadway, uključujući legendarni rad za Ritu Hayworth. Kuća je od tada njegovala tri generacije umjetnika, ostajući omiljeno okupljalište najpoznatijih kreativnih umova Greenwich Villagea.

Urezana u ulicu drveća, ova povijesna blaga besprijekorno spaja svoj izvorni karakter s suvremenim luksuzom. Karakteristike uključuju prostrane dnevne prostore, visoke stropove, tri kamina na drva, tri privatna vanjska prostora i klima uređaj. Fleksibilan, prostran raspored uključuje svijetlu kuhinju s prostorom za objedovanje, potpuno opremljenu vrhunskim aparatima, 5-7 lijepo proporcionalnih spavaćih soba, 5 punih luksuznih kupaonica, 1 wc, i tri jedinstvena studio prostora koja odaju počast umjetničkoj prošlosti doma.
