Antre nan youn nan kay istorik ki klase kòm moniman epi ki pi ekstraòdinè nan Vil New York. Li te bati an 1855 sou tè lejand Rose & Crown Tavern nan, kote Jeneral Britanik William Howe te li Deklarasyon Endepandans lan pou twoup li yo yon lè. Villa Italyanate grandyoz sa a te orijinèlman komisyone pa yon kòmandan milis Staten Island epi li te fèt an amoni ak peyizaj natirèl la, selon ideyal pitorèsk Alexander Jackson Davis ak Andrew Jackson Downing, achitèk yo rekonèt kòm “papa achitekti peyizaj Ameriken an.” Apre sa, Gustav Mayer, yon patisye ki te fèt ann Almay e ki te posede kay la, te kreye resèt orijinal bonbon vaniy la nan menm kay sa a; resèt la te vin fondasyon siksè Nabisco, konsa kay la melanje eritaj Ameriken ak inovasyon Ewopeyen. Se yon vrè kapsil tan achitekti, epi li rete nan yon eta ki prèske pa t chanje ditou. Premye etaj la retabli nèt selon estanda kalite mize, avèk yon salon doub, twa chanm, de kwizin, de twalèt konplè, ansanm ak detay orijinal ki fèt alamen toupatou. Etaj siperyè yo, ki gen uit lòt chanm ak enstalasyon plonbri debaz deja an plas, ofri plis pase 2,800 pye kare espas ki pare pou restorasyon, ansanm ak yon potansyèl kreyatif ekstraòdinè. Kay la chita sou plis pase mwatye yon ak, epi yon koupòl ikonè kouwone li, ak bèl panorama sou Raritan Bay ak pon Verrazzano a. Enteryè rèv kay la sèvi kòm dekor pou pi gwo fotograf mòd nan mond lan, tankou Steven Meisel ak Peter Lindbergh, e li te parèt nan repòtaj pou Vogue, Elle, Harper’s Bazaar ak W Magazine. Gwo ikon tankou Gisele Bündchen, Lauren Hutton ak Mary-Kate Olsen tout te fè foto isit la—sa ki ranfòse repitasyon pwopriyete sa a kòm youn nan kay ki gen plis enpòtans vizyèl ak kiltirèl nan Vil New York. Sa a se plis pase byen imobilye.

Enter inside one of New York City's most extraordinary landmarked historic homes. Built in 1855 on the grounds of the legendary Rose & Crown Tavern, where British General William Howe once read the Declaration of Independence to his troops. This grand Italianate villa was originally commissioned by a Staten Island militia commander and designed in harmony with the natural landscape, following the picturesque ideals of Alexander Jackson Davis and Andrew Jackson Downing who was the architect known as the ''father of American landscape architecture.'' Later belonging to Gustav Mayer, the German-born confectioner whose original vanilla wafer recipe, which was created in this very home, became the foundation for Nabisco's success, the house blends American legacy with European innovation. A true architectural time capsule, it has remained remarkably untouched, with the first floor fully restored to museum-quality standards, including a double parlor, three bedrooms, two kitchens, two full baths, and original handcrafted details throughout. The upper floors, with eight additional rooms and rough plumbing in place, offer over 2,800 sq ft of restoration-ready space and incredible creative potential. The home sits on over half an acre, crowned by its iconic cupola with sweeping views of Raritan Bay and the Verrazzano Bridge. Its dreamy interiors have served as backdrops for the world's top fashion photographers such as Steven Meisel and Peter Lindbergh, including spreads in Vogue, Elle, Harper's Bazaar, and W Magazine. Notable icons such as Gisele Bündchen, Lauren Hutton, and Mary-Kate Olsen have all been photographed here—further cementing this property's reputation as one of the most visually and culturally significant homes in NYC. This is more than real estate.
