Znamenita gradska kuća koja se izravno suočava s Morris-Jumel Mansijom

Rijetka prilika za vlasništvo nad pomno očuvanom kutnom obiteljskom kućom na kultnoj Jumel Terrace, jednom od najpoznatijih i arhitektonski značajnih stambenih okruga u NYC-u.

Dizajnirana 1896. godine od strane arhitekta Henrija Fouchauxa za Williama W. Watkina, ova romanička obnova je najveća od samo pet zaštićenih kuća koje se nalaze uz mirnu kaldrmiranu ulicu unutar povijesnog okruga Jumel Terrace.

Kuća se nalazi izravno nasuprot zaštićenog parkovnog zemljišta koje okružuje Morris-Jumel Mansiju, osiguravajući trajne otvorene poglede, dok je Sylvan Terrace samo nekoliko koraka dalje.

Obuhvaća otprilike 3.500 četvornih stopa na četiri puna kata, plus otprilike 800 četvornih stopa uređenog podruma, kuća nudi velikodušnu razmjernost i fleksibilnost kroz svoje razine. Širine približno 18 stopa, nalazi se na parceli dimenzija 17.75 stopa s 100 stopa s dimenzijama zgrade otprilike 17.75 stopa s 58 stopa i prikazuje izvanredne izvorne detalje kroz cijeli prostor. Godišnji porez na nekretnine iznosi 11.411 dolara.

Razina salona nudi profinjen slijed formalnih dnevnih i blagovaoničkih prostora definirane visokim stropovima, izbočenim prozorima i lijepo očuvanim drvenim radovima. Pet dekorativnih kamina s izvorno pločicama i izrezbarenim drvenim kaminima utvrđuje povijesni karakter kuće, koji dopunjuju klizna vrata, drvene obloge, vitraže i drvene rolete koje odražavaju majstorstvo s kraja devetnaestog stoljeća.

Razina vrta sadrži dnevni boravak i blagovaonicu, kuhinju s drvenim radnim površinama od granita, kuhinjsku napu s vanjskim ventilatorom i dva velika ormara za spremanje, te punu kupaonicu, s izravnim pristupom stražnjem dvorištu i vrtu. Otprilike 600 četvornih stopa velik vrt uključuje zrele biljke koje stvaraju privatno vanjsko utočište idealno za objedovanje i zabavu.

Gornji katovi sadrže 4 dodatne spavaće sobe, čime se ukupan broj povećava na 5 spavaćih soba, uključujući primarnu suite s garderobom koja ima izvorne hrastove ormariće. Učionica s krovnim prozorom i krevetom na galeriji dodaje fleksibilnost za rad ili goste. Tri krovna prozora poboljšavaju prirodnu svjetlost kroz cijelu kuću. U ukupnom broju, kuća nudi 4 potpuno uređene kupaonice, uključujući en suite, pažljivo obnovljene kako bi se poštivala povijesna tkanina, osiguravajući modernu udobnost. Dvije kupaonice imaju japanske Toto bide toalete.

Završeni donji nivo je organiziran u različite zone uključujući kućnu teretanu, medijsku sobu, skladište i punu kupaonicu s tušem s šest mlaznica i kišnom tušem, dodajući funkcionalnost nalik spa koja se rijetko nalazi u gradskoj kući iz tog razdoblja.

Orijentacija kuće je iznimna. Prednje sobe gledaju na istok izravno prema Morris-Jumel Mansiji, nudeći trajne otvorene poglede na park i neometanu svjetlost izlaska sunca. Stražnje sobe uživaju u zapadnim izloženostima sa svjetlom zalaska sunca, dok gornja prednja spavaća soba hvata poglede na udaljeni srednji Manhattan.

Moderni sustavi su pažljivo integrirani, uključujući centralno grijanje i pojedinačne Fujitsu split A/C i grijne jedinice u svakoj sobi, sve ažurirano unutar posljednjih pet godina.

Okruženje nudi bogat miks restorana, kulture i svakodnevnih pogodnosti. Među omiljenim mjestima u blizini su Hilltop Park Alehouse, Bono Trattoria, Jin Ramen, Hand Pulled Noodle i druge kafiće u susjedstvu. Vanjska rekreacija je lako dostupna u Highbridge Parku, uključujući legendarni High Bridge pješačku stazu i biciklističku stazu, kao i Riverside Park i uređen park oko mansije.

Prijevoz je izvrstan. Otprilike tri minute pješice do C vlaka na stanici 163. ulice, koja se nalazi odmah iza bloka bez prelaska ulice, s lakim pristupom A i D brzim linijama. Vlak 1 na 157. ulici također je blizu, zajedno s brojnim autobusnim rutama. Za vozače, pogodna povezanost na Henry Hudson Parkway i George Washington Bridge. Pristup zdravstvenoj zaštiti je blizu u NewYork-Presbyterian bolnici na 168. ulici.

Kuća se priprema za prodaju, s profesionalnom fotografijom koja će uslijediti.

A landmark townhouse directly facing the Morris-Jumel Mansion

A rare opportunity to own a meticulously preserved corner single-family townhouse on iconic Jumel Terrace, one of NYC’s most storied and architecturally significant residential enclaves.

Designed in 1896 by architect Henri Fouchaux for William W. Watkins, this Romanesque Revival residence is the largest of just five landmarked homes lining the peaceful cobblestone street within the Jumel Terrace Historic District.

The home sits directly across from the protected parkland surrounding the Morris-Jumel Mansion, ensuring permanent open views, with Sylvan Terrace just steps away.

Spanning approximately 3,500 square feet across four full floors, plus an approximately 800-square-foot finished basement, the home offers generous scale and flexibility across its levels. Measuring roughly 18 feet in width, it sits on a 17.75-foot by 100-foot lot with building dimensions of approximately 17.75 feet by 58 feet and showcases exceptional original detail throughout. Annual property taxes are $11,411.

The parlor level offers a gracious sequence of formal living and dining rooms defined by soaring ceilings, bay windows, and beautifully preserved woodwork. 5 decorative fireplaces with original tiled surrounds and carved wood mantels anchor the home’s historic character, complemented by pocket doors, wainscoting, stained glass, and wood shutters reflecting late nineteenth-century craftsmanship.

The garden level features a living and dining area, an eat-in kitchen with granite countertops, an externally vented range hood, and two large pantry cupboards, and a full bathroom, with direct access to the rear patio and garden. The approximately 600-square-foot garden includes mature plantings creating a private outdoor retreat ideal for dining and entertaining.

Upper floors house 4 additional bedrooms, bringing the total to 5 bedrooms, including a primary suite with a dressing room featuring original oak cabinetry. A skylit study with a loft bed adds flexibility for work or guests. Three skylights enhance natural light throughout.
