Nyumba hii ya kihistoria inayovutia, Symphony Townhouse, imetulia katika moja ya mitaa yenye sifa kubwa zaidi jijini New York. Ilijengwa awali mwaka 1872 na John Prague, mali hii nzuri imefanya mabadiliko ya kushangaza, ikichanganya mvuto wa asili zake za Victoria na uakisi wa kifahari wa uso wa Neo-Georgian, uliosanifishwa na mbunifu maarufu R.D. Graham. Uso wa mali hii unavutia sana na urejeleaji wake unafanywa na wasanifu wa kazi za mikono walio nyuma ya Kanisa Kuu la Mtakatifu John the Divine.

Inashughulikia zaidi ya futi za mraba 6,000 na inachukua eneo la futi za mraba 2,008, nyumba hii ina vyumba vitano vya kulala na bafu nane. Unapoingia The Symphony Townhouse, wageni wanakaribishwa kwa joto na sakafu ya mawe ya buluu iliyo na joto. Ndani, ukubwa wa foyer, uliopambwa kwa mapambo ya ukuta yanayokunjwa kwa mikono, unweka mtindo wa umiliki ndani.

Sakata la parlor lina sakafu za kuni za Versailles, dari zenye urefu wa futi 13.5, na maktaba ambayo ina unga la asali la mwamba wa mwerezi kutoka mwaka 1872, ikifunikwa na chandela ya shaba kutoka karne ya 1800. Sebule kubwa ina Fragonards za bandia zilizofanywa maalum, pianoo kubwa, na chandela ya Kivenice. Baa ya Belle Epoque ya Walnut ya Marekani, iliyo na dari ya kioo cha Ufaransa cha Lalique, inatoa mahali pakubwa pa kufurahisha wageni. Chumba cha kula, kilichojaa mwanga wa asili kutoka madirisha makubwa, kinapambwa na tapestry ya mikono ya Provencal kutoka miaka ya 1750, iliyorejelewa kwa uangalifu na Makumbusho ya Metropolitan. Kuna jikoni ya Kifaransa ya kula ndani, cellar ya divai yenye chupa 300, kamini nane, na ngazi kubwa inayoshuka ndani ya nyumba, ikihusisha viwango vyote.

Pandisha ngazi kubwa au chukua lifti kugundua viwango vya juu. Ghorofa ya tatu ina vyumba vitatu vya kulala, kila moja ikiwa na bafu yake na nafasi ya kutosha ya kuhifadhi. Chumba kikuu kipo kwenye ghorofa ya nne, kikitoa mwangaza wa angani wa elektroniki, mfumo maalum wa sauti, na ufikiaji wa terasi ya paa—hakika ni malkia wa nyumba. Kuanzia futi 20 kwa upana, terasi hii ya kifahari iliyojaa mwangaza wa jua ina sakafu ya mawe ya buluu na marumaru, mfumo wa kuyeyusha theluji, na fonti iliyokumbwa na taa. Ni ya kichawi tu.

Iko katikati ya Upper East Side, nyumba hii iko karibu na dining, ununuzi, alama za kitamaduni, na mbuga za kiwango cha dunia. Historia tajiri ya jirani na jamii inaakisi viwango vya juu vya matengenezo vinavyoshikiliwa na chama cha mitaa.

Takwimu zote ni za karibu.
