Znamenit townhouse neposredno nasuprot Morris-Jumel Mansiona

Rijetka prilika za vlasništvo nad pomno očuvanim townhouseom za jednu obitelj na ikoničnoj Jumel Terasi, jednom od najpoznatijih i arhitektonski značajnih stambenih područja New Yorka.

Projektirao ga je 1896. arhitekt Henri Fouchaux za Williama W. Watkinsa, ova romanička revival rezidencija najveća je od samo pet zaštićenih kuća koje se nalaze uz mirnu kaldrmisanu ulicu unutar povijesnog okruga Jumel Terrace.

Dom se nalazi direktno preko puta zaštićenog parka oko Morris-Jumel Mansiona, osiguravajući trajne otvorene poglede, a Sylvan Terrace je samo nekoliko koraka dalje.

Pet dekorativnih kamina s originalnim pločicama i drvenim okvirom učvršćuju povijesni karakter doma, a sve to dopunjuju klizna vrata, drvena obloga, vitraži i drvene rolete koje odražavaju majstorstvo kasnog devetnaestog stoljeća.

Razina vrta uključuje prostor za život i blagovanje, kuhinju s blagovaonicom s granitnim radnim površinama, vanjskom ventilacijom za kuhinjski napa, dva velika ormara za ostavu i punu kupaonicu, s izravnim pristupom zadnjem dvorištu i vrtu.

Ukupno, dom nudi 4 završene kupaonice, uključujući vlastitu, pažljivo renovirane kako bi se očuvala povijesna struktura uz pružanje modernog komfora.

Orijentacija doma je izvanredna. Prednji prostori gledaju prema istoku direktno prema Morris-Jumel Mans ionu, nudeći trajne otvorene poglede na park i neometanu svjetlost izlaska sunca. Stražnji prostori uživaju zapadne izloženosti sa svjetlom zalaska sunca, dok gornja prednja spavaća soba hvata poglede na udaljeni srednji dio grada.

Moderni sustavi pažljivo su integrirani, uključujući centralno grijanje i individualne Fujitsu split klima uređaje i grijače u svakoj sobi, svi ažurirani u posljednjih pet godina.

Okolica nudi bogat miks prehrane, kulture i svakodnevne pogodnosti. Obližnji favoriti uključuju Hilltop Park Alehouse, Bono Trattoria, Jin Ramen, Hand Pulled Noodle i druge kafiće iz susjedstva.
