Sa a se yon kay remakab, konplètman detaché, gwo kay nan style viktoryen dènye ki gen yon porche devan ki wo ansanm ak yon jaden ki ravisan ki antoure li, ki fèt ak anpil atizay ak restauration pou yon vi tres bon ak pote plezi spektakilè. Se yon oasis atizanal ki sèlman 5 minit ap mache soti nan Prospect Park ak lyen dirèk sou tèren an ki mennen nan vil la, kay sa a bay cham yon pwopriyete istorik ak tout amelyorasyon ak egzijans ki soti nan lavi modèn nan vil la.

Lè ou antre nan kay la, ou imedyatman fè yon vwayaj nan tan, byen plonje nan splandè opulan ak élégance subtile kay la, ki gen papye miray ki enprime, chandelye, ak ti manyen fè-a-men ki delika atravè tout 3 etaj yo.

Direk soti nan yon editoryal magazin (ki genyen anpil!), miray la nan sal manje a vivan ak yon mural chinoiserie ki te pentire a la De Gournay ak plis detay ki envite envite yo fè eksperyans long, vivan, ak repas ki dire lontan. Sal la ki ranpli ak limyè a tèt li ak yon chandelye kristal ki eksepsyonèlman gwo, gen ladan tou travay an bwa orijinal ki pentire ak Farrow ak Ball Calke Green, san pwoblèm lye li avèk kwizin nan. Gen de lòt sal vivan ki espasyal sou etaj tè a ak travay an bwa istorik orijinal ak twa chemine.

Kwizin nan, ki gen yon gwo gwosè, se kè kay la - li rich ak cham tè peyi angles ak konplètman ak tout detay yo anrejistre ak bon jan kalite eritaj ak yon fou Garland ki gen dimansyon tankou yon chef. Dekorasyon an gen papye miray William Morris ki renome, kabinè yo pentire ak Farrow ak Ball ak limyè desine. Fenèt yo ak louvri tèt yo bay anpil limyè, kòm byen ke yon pòt vè ki ouvri deyò sou patyo bluestone, kote ou imedyatman antoure pa yon jaden bwa ki mat fèt ansanm ak yon porche 700 pye kare ki gwo, leve, ak ki vlope, ki fèt ak wòch ki ba antretyen ki gen ladan yon 'sal deyò' prive ak trellisé, pafè pou fè sòti.

Pwen anple se ke pwopriyete sa a kontinye ak sèt gwo chanm ki gen anpil limyè, tout ak papye miray Ewopeyen ki gen bon kalite, ki gen ladan chanm prensipal la ki gen yon chemine viktoryen ki bèl ak pwòp twalèt an-suite - youn nan 3.5 bath yo ki renove konplètman, tout fèt avèk bon gou nan stil atizanal. Yon gwo chanm versatile/suit studio sou 3yèm etaj la fè fas ak lwès e li byen jere pou chak solèy kouche.

Peut-être karakteristik ki pi remakab nan pwopriyete sa a se jaden cottage angle ki mat ki antoure kay la nan yon anbrase botanik ki flè rich nan chak sezon. Pase yon pwofesyonèl ki fèt kòm yon seri ti "chanm", jaden sa a se yon rèv pou moun ki renmen plant, ki gen plis pase 65 tip woz ki fòme miray flè ki odoran, ak ansanm ak lilas, wisterias, hydrangeas, elderflower, pye noye, tout sezon denmen, ak flè bulblent.

Men, jaden sa a pa sèlman bèl, li gou osi, ki gen ladan pòm, pè, fig, ak framboze, tout espaliered (antrene orizontal) pou akomode lavi vil la ak pwospere nan yon kabann 8 pous tè òganik ki te ranplase atravè pwopriyete a. Toudabò li se te kenbe pwospere ak yon sistèm irigasyon efikas ak konplè.

Kay sa a vini ak pwòp jaden botanik ki fèt pwofesyonèlman - ki parfe senbolize vibe rus en urbe (paysan nan vil la) nan katye a ki gen mak yo. Jaden an vini ak rekòmandasyon pou founisè sèvis lokal ak plis enfòmasyon detaye sou plant yo pou moun ki enterese.

Ale lwen nan achitekti atizanal sa a ak design ki kurasyon yo gen anpil amelyorasyon mekanik ki asire entegrite ak fonksyonalite kay la - ki ofri achtè yon nivo sekirite, valè, ak lapè nan lespri ki pa souvan asosye ak kay istorik. Majik, anchantè, inik nan tout sans, ak pare pou antre; 85 Westminster ap voye ou yon bèl vwayaj - gade li pandan jaden an ap fleri.

Amelyorasyon yo enkli:
- Sistèm elektrik ak plonbri ki ajou
- Kondisyone lè santral ak sistèm split nan

This distinctive, fully detached, grand late-Victorian landmarked home with its soaring front porch and enchanting surrounding garden, has been artfully designed and restored for gracious living and spectacular entertaining. An arts and crafts oasis just a 5 minute walk from Prospect Park with direct subway links to the city, this home provides the charm of a historical property with all the upgrades and demands of modern city living.
Upon entering the house you immediately time travel, immersed in the opulent splendor yet subtle elegance of the home, featuring silkscreened wallpapers, chandeliers, and delicate hand crafted touches throughout all 3 floors.
Straight out of a magazine editorial (of which there have been many!), the walls of the dining room come to life with a hand-painted chinoiserie mural in the style of De Gournay and more bespoke flourishes that invite guests to indulge in long, lively, lingering meals. The light-filled room, which is crowned with an exceptionally large crystal chandelier, also features original woodwork painted in Farrow and Ball Calke Green, seamlessly tying it together with the kitchen. There are two additional spacious living rooms on the ground floor with original historic woodwork and three fireplaces.
The generously sized eat-in kitchen is the heart of the home-it's rich with English country-estate charm and fully accented with heirloom quality finishes and a chef-sized Garland stove. The decor features renowned William Morris wallpaper, Farrow and Ball-painted cabinets and designer light fixtures. The windows and skylights provide massive amounts of light, as well as a glass door opening out to the bluestone patio, where you are immediately surrounded by a mature woodland garden as well as an oversized 700 square foot porch, elevated, wrap-around, low maintenance stone-floored porch featuring a private trellised 'outdoor room', perfect for entertaining.
Highlights of this property continue with seven large light-filled bedrooms, all featuring high-end European wallpapers, including the primary featuring a beautiful Victorian-tiled fireplace and its own en-suite bath-one of 3.5 fully renovated baths, all tastefully designed in the arts and crafts style. A large versatile bedroom/studio suite on the 3rd floor faces west and perfectly frames every sunset.
Perhaps the property's most remarkable feature of all is the splendid mature English cottage garden that surrounds the home in a lush blooming botanical embrace throughout every season. Professionally designed as a series of small "rooms", this garden is a plant lover's dream, boasting over 65 types of roses that form walls of fragrant blooms, accompanied by lilacs, wisterias, hydrangeas, elderflower, evergreens, all-season perennials, and flowering bulbs.
But this garden isn't just beautiful, it's also delicious, including apples, pears, figs, and raspberries, all espaliered (train horizontal) to accommodate city living and thriving in an 8-inch bed of organic top soil that was replaced throughout the property. All is kept thriving with an efficient and comprehensive irrigation system.
This home essentially comes with its own private professionally landscaped botanic garden-perfectly epitomizing the landmarked neighborhood's rus en urbe (country in the city) vibe. The garden comes with recommendations for local maintenance providers and further extensive information about the plants for interested parties.
Beyond this artful architecture and curated design are significant mechanical upgrades that ensure the integrity and functionality of the home-offering buyers a level security, value, and peace of mind not often associated with historic homes. Magical, enchanting, utterly unique, and move-in ready; 85 Westminster will cast a spell on you-see it while the garden is in full bloom.
Upgrades include:
- Updated electrical and plumbing systems
- Central and split system air conditioning in
