珍贵完美的詹姆斯·E·韦尔联排别墅
蒙特莫里斯公园历史区
25英尺宽的女王安妮风格住宅

这座由建筑师詹姆斯·E·韦尔于1888年设计的卓越蒙特莫里斯公园联排别墅，代表了建筑 pedigree、规模和精心维护的罕见融合。该住宅构思于哈莱姆最为深思熟虑和雄心勃勃的时期，反映了一个建筑被期望在美、持久性和日常生活之间取得平衡的时代，并且至今仍以惊人的清晰度延续着这一理念。该住宅采用米德尔塞克斯褐石建造，女王安妮风格的外立面在花园层展现出原石面石工，顶部则为精致的加工饰面，并配有最近更新的石板屋顶，符合住宅的最初设计意图。

这座25英尺宽的住宅位于蒙特莫里斯公园历史区，直接俯瞰马库斯·加维纪念公园，提供受保护的光线、开阔感以及在曼哈顿日益稀缺的空间感。自建成以来，该房屋仅有三位主人，这一非凡的连续性既体现了韦尔原始设计的力量，也彰显了其一个多世纪以来精心维护的细致。韦尔的设计理念偏爱克制、比例和宜居性，超越了炫耀感，这种哲学在整个住宅中立即有所体现。

房间比例方正，通行自然，住宅让人感到温暖而非压迫。室内面积约为7,825平方英尺，包括16个房间，其中有10个卧室和7个浴室。布局大体保持完整，反映了原始设计的远见。全屋均有推拉门，八个木燃壁炉为家居增添温暖和建筑存在感。丰富的硬木色调——白蜡木、松木、桃花心木、橡木和悬铃木——被有意选择，每种木材都具有独特的特征和用途。

花园层旨在满足日常生活需求，提供一个私人门廊入口、优雅的客厅和餐厅（配有木燃壁炉），以及一个完全翻新的厨师厨房。厨房专为严肃使用而设计，配备专业级电器与定制橱柜、白色意大利大理石和巴西石地板，直接通往后花园，增强了室内外空间之间的联系。该层还包括一间卧室、一坐浴室和一个隐蔽的家庭办公室角落。

客厅层则因其规模和工艺而显著，拥有宽敞的娱乐空间、镶有虎纹橡木的天花板、恢复过的木工，以及翻新的餐具室，既支持现代娱乐又保留了历史功能。上层提供了私人卧室、灵活的居住安排以及在房屋顶部的自成一体的一层，配备了自己的厨房——特别适合大家庭、客人或长期居住。

在幕后，这栋住宅已全面现代化。电力服务已升级至450安培，管道采用铜管恢复，主要系统（包括屋顶和锅炉）得到了细致呵护。现代便利设施遍布其中，但从未被强加，使建筑结构仍然保持为主导特征。

坐落于蒙特莫里斯公园旁，距离莱诺克斯大道咫尺之遥，这栋联排别墅享有住宅的宁静与哈莱姆文化、餐饮及交通走廊的便利。这并非一座受趋势或重塑影响而成的房屋，而是一座通过精心维护保持卓越的住宅，准备由其下一个管理者继续传承。

 A James E. Ware Townhouse of Rare Integrity Mount Morris Park Historic District 25-Foot-Wide Queen Anne Residence

Designed in 1888 by architect James E. Ware, this exceptional Mount Morris Park townhouse represents a rare convergence of architectural pedigree, scale, and careful stewardship. Conceived during Harlem's most deliberate and aspirational period, the home reflects an era when architecture was expected to balance beauty, permanence, and daily life-and it continues to do so with remarkable clarity today. Executed in Middlesex brownstone, the Queen Anne facade features rock-faced stonework at the garden level, finely tooled finishes above, and a slate-clad mansard roof that has been recently updated in keeping with the home's original intent.

Set within the Mount Morris Park Historic District, the 25-foot-wide residence directly overlooks Marcus Garvey Memorial Park, offering protected light, openness, and a sense of scale that is increasingly rare in Manhattan. Since its construction, the house has had only three owners-an extraordinary continuity that speaks both to the strength of Ware's original design and to the care with which it has been maintained for more than a century. Ware's approach favored restraint, proportion, and livability over spectacle, and that philosophy is immediately felt throughout the home.

Rooms are squarely proportioned, circulation feels natural, and the house welcomes rather than overwhelms. The interior spans approximately 7,825 square feet and includes 16 rooms, among them 10 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms. The layout remains largely intact, reflecting the foresight of the original design. Pocket doors remain throughout, and eight wood-burning fireplaces anchor the home with warmth and architectural presence. A rich palette of hardwoods-ash, pine, mahogany, oak, and sycamore-has been used intentionally, each selected for character and purpose.

The garden level is designed for daily living, offering a private under-the-stoop entry, gracious living and dining areas with a wood-burning fireplace, and a fully renovated chef's kitchen. Designed for serious use, the kitchen pairs professional-grade appliances with custom cabinetry, white Italian marble, and Brazilian stone flooring, opening directly to the rear garden and reinforcing the connection between indoor and outdoor space. This level also includes a bedroom, one and a half baths, and a discreet home office nook.

The parlor floor is distinguished by scale and craftsmanship, with expansive entertaining rooms, coffered tiger oak ceilings, restored millwork, and a renovated butler's pantry that supports modern entertaining while preserving historic function. Upper floors provide a thoughtful balance of private bedrooms, flexible living arrangements, and, at the top of the house, a self-contained level with its own kitchen-ideal for extended family, guests, or long-term stays.

Behind the scenes, the home has been comprehensively modernized. Electrical service has been upgraded to 450 amps, plumbing restored with copper piping, and major systems-including roof and boiler-addressed with care. Modern conveniences are present throughout but never imposed, allowing the architecture to remain the defining feature.

Located alongside Mount Morris Park and moments from Lenox Avenue, the townhouse enjoys both residential calm and proximity to Harlem's cultural, dining, and transportation corridors. This is not a house shaped by trends or reinvention, but by excellence sustained through stewardship-ready to be carried forward by its next caretaker.
