Kwa mara moja katika mwezi wa buluu sana, nyumba ya mtaa inapotolewa sokoni ambayo inazidi kuwa nyumba rahisi; ikawa uzoefu na mali ya ulimwengu, ambapo maisha yenye muundo yanakutana na faraja isiyo na vahevu.

Iko kwenye mstari safi wa nyumba za mtaa za West Village, na kupatikana kibinafsi kutoka kwa mshindi wa Oscar, mwigizaji Ellen Barkin, nyumba hii imefanywa upya kupitia ukarabati wa miaka mingi ulioongozwa na muundo na kufanywa na wabunifu wawili wa mume na mke walio na mtindo wa kipekee. Ni tafakari katika ubunifu wa kufanya mambo kwa ujasiri na faraja iliyoimarishwa. Kwa kuleta hisia zao za Pwani ya Magharibi, ufundi wa hali ya juu, na maono ya ubunifu yasiyo na woga katika kila undani—wamewasilisha nyumba kamili inayoweza kuhamishwa ambayo inajisikia kuwa ya ajabu na yenye kuishi.

Unakaribishwa na sakafu ya kuingilia inayoshangaza iliyokuwa na maeneo matatu tofauti ya burudani yanayoongoza nje kwenye terasi na bustani inayofuata. Kivutio cha sakafu ya kuingilia ni viwambo viwili vya kuni vinavyokuwa na mandhari ya marumaru iliyoundwa kwa umahiri na bar ya kibinafsi ya kufurahisha inayofikia miguu 11, ikileta picha za baa kubwa za hoteli kutoka kote ulimwenguni.

Moyo wa kweli wa nyumba unaleta pamoja maeneo ya jikoni, kula, na vyombo vya habari katika mtiririko wa kupita ambao un leak nje kwenye eneo la kula na kupika nje, kamili kwa mikusanyiko mchana au usiku. Jikoni nzuri ya mpishi ni kama inavyofanya kazi ilivyo na mtindo, ikiwa na pantry ya mvumbuzi, jokofu la divai lenye maeneo mawili, jokofu na kisafishaji cha Sub-Zero, na stove ya Bertazzoni ya inchi 48 ya Mfululizo wa Heritage yenye griddle, na hood ya kupashia hewa iliyotengenezwa kibinafsi inayokamilisha chumba kwa uwepo wa kisanaa.

Suite ya msingi, ikiwa na ngazi moja juu ya sakafu ya kuingilia, ni kimbilio cha kushangaza kinachofunguka kwa terasi kubwa binafsi na chumba cha kubadilisha nguo kinachosababisha wivu ambacho kinaonyesha sehemu ya kubadilisha nguo iliyotengenezwa kibinafsi yenye slab moja ya marumaru ya Breccia Capraia, ikihusisha matumizi na sanaa yenye mvuto.

Juu, utapata vyumba viwili vikubwa vyenye bafu za ndani na dari za juu, karibu na ofisi inayoweza kuwa ya kisasa zaidi katika Kijiji ikiwa na terasi yake binafsi, ikisababisha nafasi ya kazi ya kipekee iliyojaa tabia na iliyoundwa ili kuhamasisha.

Burudika kwa urahisi katika maeneo kadhaa ya nje, ikiwa ni pamoja na paa lenye bar yake binafsi, terasi tatu, jikoni ya nje, na bustani nzuri iliyojaa ukuaji wa zamani hadi futi 40 kwa kina—oasi ya kipekee katika Manhattan.

Ghala lililochimbwa kwa sehemu linaweza kuwa na chumba cha kufulia kizuri zaidi ambacho umewahi kuona, chumba cha michezo chenye kubadilika lakini kinachofanya kazi/kichumba cha ustawi, na kiasi kikubwa cha hifadhi kuficha vitu vyote ambavyo vinahitaji tu kupotea.

Mfumo wa nyumba wenye akili unajumuisha udhibiti wa kielektroniki wa HVAC, sauti, usalama na ufikiaji wa nyumbani kutoka sakafu hadi sakafu na “kutoka mahali popote”.

Kila kipengele kinapata tafsiri ya falsafa ya “kuleta ukarimu nyumbani”—mambo ya ndani yaliyochaguliwa, muonekano wa viwango mbalimbali, na mazingira ambayo ni ya kipekee na yasiyo na muda. Zaidi ya nyumba tu — hii ni uzoefu.—mtindo wa maisha wenye muundo wa kipekee na wenye asili ya filamu, faraja ya kutamausha, na makini isiyo na mfano kwa undani.

Once in a very blue moon, a townhouse comes to market that transcends being simply a house; becoming a world-class experience and asset, where design-forward living meets effortless comfort.

Located on a pristine row of West Village townhouses, and acquired privately from Oscar winning actress Ellen Barkin, this townhouse has been reimagined through a multi-year, design-driven renovation by a mold-breaking husband-and-wife design duo. It is a study in bold creativity and refined comfort. Bringing their West Coast sensibility, meticulous craftsmanship, and fearless design vision to every detail— they have delivered a fully turnkey home that feels both extraordinary and livable.

You are greeted by an awe inspiring parlor floor with three separate entertaining spaces that lead out to the terrace and garden beyond. Two wood burning fireplaces with richly crafted marble mantles and an inspired, custom bar stretching 11 ft, anchor the parlor floor, evoking images of the great hotel bars from around the globe.

The true heart of the home brings together kitchen, dining, and media spaces in a seamless flow, spilling out to an outdoor dining and cooking area, perfect for gatherings day or night. The beautiful chef’s kitchen is as functional as it is stylish, featuring a butler’s pantry, dual-zone wine fridge, Sub-Zero refrigerator and freezer, a Bertazzoni 48” Heritage Series dual-fuel range with griddle, and a custom-built vented range hood that completes the room with sculptural presence.

The primary suite, just one flight up from the parlor, is a stunning retreat that opens to a large private terrace and an envy-causing, walk-in dressing room that showcases a custom dresser centerpiece topped with a dramatic single slab of Breccia Capraia marble, marrying utility with striking artistry.

Upstairs, you’ll find two large bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms and high ceilings, next to what may be the chicest office in the Village with its own private terrace, creating a unique workspace layered with character and designed to inspire.

Entertain effortlessly across multiple outdoor spaces, including a roof deck with its own bar, three terraces, an outdoor kitchen, and a lush mature garden extending over 40 feet deep—a rare oasis in Manhattan.

A partially excavated cellar includes possibly the most beautiful laundry room you have ever seen, a flexible yet functional game room/wellness room, and an incredible amount of storage to hide all those things that just need to disappear.

The smart home system includes floor-by-floor and “from anywhere” electronic control of HVAC, audio, security and home access.

Every element reflects the philosophy of “bringing hospitality home”—curated interiors, layered textures, and an atmosphere that is both eclectic and timeless. More than just a house — this is an experience.—a design-forward lifestyle with cinematic provenance, immersive comfort, and unparalleled attention to detail.
