Dobro došli u Umjetničko utočište, rijedak jednosobni stan na najvišem katu s gotovo dva stoljeća povijesti New Yorka.

Nekada: Godine 1932. dvadesetogodišnji Jackson Pollock uselio se u kuću na adresi 46 Carmine sa svojim bratom Charlesom, dok su studirali kod Thomasa Harta Bentona. To je bio Pollockov dom i atelje prije nego što je postao Pollock: mlad, eksperimentalan i još uvijek u potrazi za vlastitim putem.

Danas: Nakon generacija vlasnika, dom je pažljivo obnovljen, uz očuvanje karaktera i osebujnosti koji su ga oduvijek definirali.

Na najvišem katu kuće u nizu u federalnom stilu iz 1827., smještene između ulica Bedford i Bleecker, ovaj se dom nalazi tik iznad okolnih niskih zgrada. U interijeru djeluje poput urbane kućice u krošnjama, s pogledima na vrhove drveća i obiljem svjetlosti koja prodire kroz krovne prozore. Stropovi visoki četrnaest stopa, vidljive grede i promišljena obnova daju domu osjećaj prostranosti i karaktera, dok klimatizacijski sustav sa zasebnim jedinicama te skriveni prostori za pohranu unose suvremenu funkcionalnost. Kuhinja je funkcionalna i lijepo obnovljena novim uređajima, dok pomno renovirana kupaonica pruža svjež, suvremen ugođaj. Spavaća soba ima prostrani garderobni ormar, a na katu se nalazi galerija idealna za atelje, kućni ured ili kreativno utočište. Ukrasni kamin i vidljiva opeka unose toplinu i dašak povijesti u dnevni boravak. U stražnjem dijelu nalazi se zajednički vrt s roštiljem, miran zeleni kutak skriven od gradske vreve.

Poput samog Villagea, i 46 Carmine gotovo se 200 godina iznova oblikuje. U prizemlju je 1850-ih modist prodavao šešire i kape, umjetnici su ovdje živjeli i radili 1930-ih, a 2010. zgrada je proglašena zaštićenom kao dio povijesne četvrti Greenwich Village. Najnovija obnova nastavlja tu tradiciju slojevitim dodavanjem suvremenog dizajna preko izvornih materijala doma.

Ispred vaših vrata West Village i dalje je jedno od velikih kreativnih središta New Yorka. U svega nekoliko blokova nalaze se neki od najpoznatijih gradskih jazz-klubova, komičarskih pozornica, nezavisnih kazališta i kina te restorana koji već generacijama čine Village odredištem.

Pollock je ovamo došao otkriti tko će postati. Ovaj je kvart i dalje vrlo dobar u tome.

Welcome to The Artist’s Enclave, a rare top-floor one-bedroom condo with nearly two centuries of New York history.

Then: In 1932, a 20-year-old Jackson Pollock moved into 46 Carmine, with his brother Charles while they studied under Thomas Hart Benton. This was Pollock’s home and studio before he became Pollock: young, experimenting, and still finding his way.

Now: After generations of owners, the home has been carefully updated, preserving the character and eccentricities that have always defined it.
On the top floor of an 1827 Federal-style townhouse between Bedford and Bleecker, this home sits just above the surrounding low-rise buildings. Inside, it feels like an urban treehouse, with treetop outlooks and light pouring in through the skylights. Fourteen-foot ceilings, exposed beams, and a thoughtful renovation give the home a sense of openness and character, while split-system air conditioning and hidden storage throughout add modern functionality. The kitchen is both functional and beautifully updated with new appliances, while the thoughtfully renovated bathroom brings a fresh, contemporary feel. The bedroom offers a generous walk-in closet, and upstairs, a loft makes an ideal studio, home office, or creative retreat. A decorative fireplace and exposed brick bring warmth and history to the living area. Out back, a shared garden with a grill offers a quiet patch of green tucked away from the city.

Like the Village itself, 46 Carmine has been reinventing itself for nearly 200 years. A milliner sold hats and bonnets downstairs in the 1850s, artists lived and worked here in the 1930s, and in 2010, the building was landmarked as part of the Greenwich Village Historic District. Its latest renovation continues that tradition by layering contemporary design over the home's original materials.

Outside your door, the West Village remains one of New York’s great creative neighborhoods. Within a few blocks are some of the city’s most iconic jazz clubs, comedy venues, indie theaters and cinemas, and restaurants that have helped make the Village a destination for generations.

Pollock came here to figure out who he was going to be. The neighborhood is still very good at that.
