55 West Ninth Street是一栋建于1840年的22英尺宽的联排别墅，位于历史悠久的西村核心，坐落在一个迷人的林荫街道上，但靠近一切便利设施。

这座四层高的房屋（还有一个装修完成的地下室）以古典的简单风格装饰，外立面经建筑师Jean-Gabriel Neukomm精心修复。原有的檐口和重新抹灰的砖墙仍然保留完好，而从门廊到窗框的其他部分则由熟练的工匠精准重建。房屋中的每个系统都已现代化和升级，包括中央空调、音响系统和安全系统。

外立面的真实性激发了室内建筑设计，形成了古典与现代的结合：法国奢华与纽约时尚在路易十六风格的壁炉、定制的大理石壁炉架、受美术风格启发的装饰线条、高挑的天花板和类似于奥斯曼巴黎的斜纹橡木地板等细节中相遇。根据美术风格设计的宽阔楼梯和装饰线条为室内营造了宁静的宏伟感。

在大厅层，房屋的宏大比例显而易见。客厅既庄重又温馨。高挑的天花板、宽大的窗户和经过精心研究的美术风格装饰线条赋予空间永恒的氛围，而斜纹橡木地板则增添了温暖和质感。

客厅旁是一个图书馆，图书馆有一个魅力十足的露台，可以俯瞰下面的园景花园。图书馆与客厅流畅连接，营造出极大的娱乐空间感，或者形成两个更私密的空间。图书馆内精美的木燃壁炉和精细雕刻的路易十六风格壁炉架为房间增添了稳重感。图书馆旁还有一个迷人的阅读室，通向露台。

顶层专门为奢华的主套房设计，构想为一个私人度假胜地。采光充足的大理石浴室，灵感来源于Paul Dupré-Lafon的精致室内设计，是一个建筑焦点。卧室内设有工作用的燃气壁炉和一个可爱的休息区。卧室还配备两个非常大且装备齐全的衣橱。

除了顶层主套房外，这栋联排别墅还在三楼提供两个大型的次卧以及两个较小的卧室。这些房间空间宽敞，光线充沛，现在装饰美观，但也允许灵活使用。目前该楼层有一个大型浴室，但可以轻松增加另一个。

在花园层，还有一间额外的可爱卧室，配有完整的浴室、一个洗手间和一间设计精美的厨师餐厨。厨房的一侧设有一面戏剧性的30英尺高全高橱柜/隐蔽储物墙，使得另一面覆盖着Calacatta金大理石的墙面保持了引人注目的无缝效果。这种效果宁静而富有雕塑感：这是一个厨房，既是建筑陈述，又功能完善。厨房中央的Lacanche灶具吸引了所有人的目光。它在勃艮第手工制作，外覆琺瑯和不锈钢，提供专业级的功能，气质永恒。一个大型农舍餐桌是厨房的中心，家庭活动区位于房间的花园端。

装修完成的地下室与房子的其他部分一样精致，设有一个出色的洗衣房以及广泛的储物空间。

在室外，Miranda Brooks设计了一个两层花园。餐饮露台配有受Donald Judd启发的桌椅，而高架后部花园则让人想起皇家宫殿的花园，配有黄杨木柱、白色碎石、编织的榛子围栏和每春都绽放粉色花朵的平顶海棠树。

55 West 9th为建筑工程提供了几乎不可能找到的精致细节和质量。这是一栋时尚、有趣、酷炫，同时又充满欢快、阳光和实用性的房子。地理位置和房屋完美无瑕。

55 West Ninth Street, a 22 feet wide townhouse built in 1840, is located in the heart of the historic West Village on a charming tree lined street but close to absolutely everything.

Four-stories tall (with a finished basement in addition) and trimmed in brownstone with classical restraint, its façade was meticulously restored by architect Jean-Gabriel Neukomm. The original cornice and repointed bricks remain, while everything else—from the stoop to the window surrounds—was recreated with precision by master craftsmen. Every system in the house has been modernized and upgraded, including central AC, sound and security systems.

That authenticity of the facade inspired the interior architecture, resulting in classical and modern design: French luxury meets New York chic in details such as a Louis XVI fireplace, bespoke marble mantels, beaux-arts–inspired moldings, high ceilings throughout and chevron-laid oak floors reminiscent of Haussmann’s Paris. The sweeping staircase and moldings, based on Beaux Arts design, anchor the interiors with quiet grandeur.

At the parlor level, the home’s grand proportions are evident. The living room is both stately and inviting. High ceilings, generous windows, and meticulously researched beaux-arts moldings give the space a timeless athmopshere, while chevron-laid oak floors contribute warmth and texture.

Adjacent to the living room is the library with a charming terrace overlooking the landscaped garden below. The library and living room flow gracefully allowing for the feeling of a very large entertaining space, or two more intimate spaces. The library's beautiful wood-burning fireplace with a finely carved Louis XVI mantel gives the room a sense of gravitas. Just off the library is a charming reading room which opens to the terrace.

The top floor is reserved entirely for the luxurious primary suite, conceived as a private retreat. The skylit marble bathroom, inspired by Paul Dupré-Lafon’s refined interiors, is an architectural centerpiece. The bedroom has a working gas fireplace and a lovely sitting area. There are two very large, beautifully fitted out closets.

In addition to the top-floor primary suite, the townhouse offers two large secondary bedrooms as well as two smaller bedrooms on the 3rd floor. Generously scaled and filled with natural light, these rooms are beautifully decorated now, but also allow for flexibility of use. Currently there is one large bathroom on this floor, but another can easily be added.

On the garden level is an additional lovely bedroom with a full bath, a powder room and an impressively designed chef's eat-in kitchen. One side of the kitchen is anchored by a dramatic, 30-foot wall of full-height cabinetry/concealed storage that allows the opposite wall, clad in a continuous sweep of Calacatta gold marble, to remain strikingly unbroken. The effect is serene and sculptural: a kitchen that feels less like an architectural statement but also functions well. At its center, the Lacanche range commands attention. Handcrafted in Burgundy and clad in enamel and stainless steel, it offers professional-grade function with a presence that feels timeless. A large farmhouse table is the center of the kitchen with a family room sitting area at the garden end of the room.

The finished basement is as nice as the rest of the house and has a wonderful laundry as well as extensive storage.

Beyond the interior, Miranda Brooks has designed a two-tiered garden. The dining terrace opens with a Donald Judd–inspired table and chairs, while the raised rear recalls the gardens of the Palais Royal, complete with boxwood columns, white gravel, woven hazel fencing, and pleached Judas trees that burst into pink bloom each spring.

55 West 9th provides a level of detail and quality in construction that is next to impossible to find. It is chic and fun and cool while also being cheerful and sunny and practical. The location and the house are perfection.
