房屋英文概況 English Description

Within what is already one of the most desirable neighborhoods in the world, Ninth Street between Fifth and Sixth Avenues is particularly special. The architecture is as harmonious as it was in 1969, when the city's Landmarks Preservation Commission included it in the Greenwich Village Historic District. That explains why some of the most discerning people in New York have gravitated to this single-block enclave.

On the northern side of the street, a bit west of center, stands 55 West Ninth Street, a handsome five-story townhouse built in 1840. Its brick facade is trimmed with brownstone in ways that give the house a classical, but not ostentatious, demeanor. Every part of the exterior was extensively restored by architect Jean-Gabriel Neukomm less than a decade ago. According to Neukomm, on the street side of the house, only the cornice and the bricks are original -- and those bricks were carefully repointed. The windows were replaced, and the surrounding brownstone elements were recreated by skilled craftsmen -- as was the entire stoop.

The modest yet authentically historic facade inspired the owners as they contemplated redoing its interiors. They went for a combination of classical and modern, knowing that by adding a rigorously detailed stairway, bespoke marble mantels, oak floors and new moldings, they could combine French luxury with streamlined New York efficiency. The living room fireplace is pure Louis XVI, which seemed to fit the house's generous proportions (it's 22 feet wide). The moldings and the staircase are based on beaux-arts precedents, which they spent months researching. On the floors, boards of solid brushed oak are arranged in chevrons, a pattern associated with Haussmann-era Paris apartments.

Among the most surprising elements is the primary suite that occupies the entire top floor -- an elegant arrangement that makes the owners' living quarters a terminus, rather than a place people pass by. The highlight of that suite may be the primary bathroom. Neukomm took some inspiration from the plan of a bathroom by Paul Dupre-Lafon (1900-1971), the Parisian designer known for his extremely refined Art Deco furniture. But Dupre-Lafon was also an architect, who trained at l'Ecole des Beaux-Arts de Marseille and went on to design the homes of some of France's wealthiest families. Still, even with Dupre-Lafon as a guide, laying out the primary bath required at least 30 iterations, Neukomm says. In the end, the key was putting the island topped in Calacatta gold marble right below the skylight, which makes the room appear to glow.

Another highlight is the spectacular ground-floor kitchen. "You have one 30-foot-long wall of full-height storage, which means you can have an elegant clean surface on the other side," says Neukomm (referring to the expanse of Calacatta gold marble). The heart of the kitchen is Lacanche range, produced in Burgundy by a company that has made iron cooking equipment for more than 200
