Imara katika urithi wa sanaa wa kiwango cha juu wa East Village, ukarabati huu mpya wa townhouse - ulio katika nyumba ya kihistoria ya Rothko, kondominium ya vitengo viwili - ulikuwa nyumbani kwa wasanii maarufu ikiwa ni pamoja na Mark Rothko na Alfred Leslie. Kwa hakika, Rothko alifanya kazi muhimu hapa, akiunganisha kipengele cha kipekee cha urithi wa kisanaa katika nyumba hii. Mifumo mitatu kamili imeandaliwa kwa uangalifu kama makazi ya kifahari, ambapo roho ya kihistoria na muundo wa kisasa vinakutana.

Ukikalia ngazi za kale za brownstone, mlango wa kuingilia unafunguka kwenye ghorofa nzima iliyotengwa kwa ajili ya burudani. Iwe ni mwelekeo wa kaskazini au kusini, madirisha makubwa kutoka sakafu hadi dari yanaonyesha ngazi ya kupikia kubwa yenye kisiwa cha katikati na uhifadhi wa kipekee, ikiwa ni pamoja na kabati maalum, pantry, na makabati yaliyojumuishwa. Kwa kweli, hapa ndiko moyo wa nyumba ulipo, umeundwa kwa ajili ya maisha ya kila siku na wenyeji. Kazi ya mbao maalum, vifaa vya shaba, na kifurushi cha vifaa vya daraja la juu, ikiwemo friji ya divai, vinashikilia nafasi hiyo, wakati vipimo vya kiasi vinaruhusu mtiririko mzuri kati ya maeneo. Ukipita kupitia jikoni, nafasi hiyo inafunguka kwenye sebule inayojaa mwangaza, ikiwa na mandhari ya mimea ya kijani kibichi na ufikiaji wa bustani ya kibinafsi ya nyumba, iliyozungukwa na mimea ya bamboo iliyoiva, bora kwa kutoroka kutoka jiji, wenyeji, au kula nje.

Kando na jikoni, eneo la chakula lililojaa mwangaza linalokabiliwa na kusini lina dari zilizo karibu futi 11 za urefu na madirisha kutoka sakafuni hadi dari, yakiongeza kina cha usanifu na kuingiza mwangaza wa asili ndani ya nyumba. Kipengele hiki cha usanifu kinaunda kituo cha kukumbukwa kwa mikusanyiko, kikiwaonesha watu wakila katika cafe ya Ulaya.

Ngazi ya bustani imetengwa kwa ajili ya maisha ya kibinafsi na ina vyumba viwili vikubwa vya kulala, vinavyotoa faraja na ukubwa ambao kawaida unahusishwa na nyumba za familia moja. Suite ya msingi inayokabiliwa na kaskazini inafunguka moja kwa moja kwenye bustani kubwa ya kibinafsi, ikitoa uzoefu wa kipekee wa ndani-nje. Kwa karibu futi 20 kwa upana, suite hiyo inachukua upana mzima wa nyumba na inafanya kazi kama kimbilio halisi, kamili na madirisha makubwa, makabati mawili ya kutembea, na bafu ya en-suite kama ya spa iliyo na tub ya kuoga iliyosimama, mvua ya kutembea, choo cha maji, na viwango vilivyopangwa vizuri. Suite ya pili ya kulala, iliyoko upande wa kusini wa nyumba, pia ina eneo kubwa la kulala, kabati la kutembea, na bafu kamili ya en-suite. Mashine ya kuosha na kivutio cha hewa kikamilisha ngazi hiyo.

Ngazi ya chini inatoa upanuzi wa kubadili wa makazi. Hivi sasa inafikiriwa kama maeneo ya kuishi na kulala yenye nafasi kubwa, bora kwa wageni, inaweza kubadilishwa kwa mahitaji ya kufanya kazi nyumbani, mazoezi, au burudani. Eneo la kulala linafunguka kwenye ua wa kibinafsi, uliopangwa vizuri na kuangaziwa kwa ajili ya furaha mwaka mzima. Ngazi hiyo ina bafu kamili na maeneo mengine ya uhifadhi.

Katika nyumba nzima, makini ya muandaaji yanaonekana katika ufundi na viwango, ikiwa ni pamoja na kazi ya mbao maalum katika jikoni na mabafu yote, makabati matatu ya kawaida yatakayojengwa, sakafu za mbao za kuvutia, vigae vya ufundi, na marmari iliyopatikana. Jengo hili limejengwa kwa kina upya na kupanuliwa kwa mifumo ya kisasa kila mahali, uso mpya wa nyuma, paa mpya, na miundombinu ya maji na umeme ya kisasa. Mng’aro wote wa sakafu umebadilishwa au kufanyiwa marekebisho kuhakikisha sakafu ni za kiwango na kimya sana ndani ya nyumba, wakati mfumo wa joto na baridi wenye maeneo manne unatoa faraja na udhibiti katika kila ngazi.

Rooted in the East Village's rich artistic legacy, this newly completed townhouse restoration-situated in the historic Rothko House, a boutique two-unit condominium-was once home to celebrated artists including Mark Rothko and Alfred Leslie. Notably, Rothko created significant works here, adding a rare layer of artistic provenance to the home. Three full floors have been meticulously reimagined as a refined luxury residence, where historic spirit and contemporary design converge.

Ascending the classic brownstone stoop, the entryway opens onto an entire floor devoted to entertaining. With both north- and south-facing floor-to-ceiling windows, the parlor level features an expansive kitchen with a central island and exceptional storage, including custom cabinetry, pantries, and integrated closets. Truly the heart of the home, it is designed for both daily living and hosting. Custom millwork, brass fixtures, and a premium appliance package, including a wine refrigerator, anchor the space, while generous proportions allow for a seamless flow between areas. Moving through the kitchen, the space opens into a light-filled living room, with views of lush greenery and access to the home's private garden, bordered by mature bamboo plants, perfect for escaping the city, hosting, or dining al fresco.

Adjacent to the kitchen, a south-facing sunken dining area features ceilings nearly 11 feet high and floor-to-ceiling windows, adding architectural depth and drawing natural light deep into the home. This striking design element creates a memorable focal point for gatherings, evoking scenes of dining at a European cafe.

The garden level is dedicated to private living and features two oversized bedroom suites, offering comfort and scale more commonly associated with single-family homes. The north-facing primary suite opens directly to the massive private garden, creating a rare indoor-outdoor experience. At nearly 20 feet wide, the suite spans the full width of the house and functions as a true retreat, complete with oversized windows, dual walk-in closets, and a spa-like en-suite bath with a freestanding soaking tub, walk-in shower, water closet, and refined finishes. The second bedroom suite, located on the south side of the home, also includes a large sleeping area, walk-in closet, and a full en-suite bath. A washer and vented dryer complete the level.

The lower level provides a highly flexible extension of the residence. Currently envisioned as spacious living and sleeping areas perfect for guests, it can be reconfigured for work-from-home needs, fitness, or recreation. The sleeping area opens to a separate private courtyard, thoughtfully landscaped and illuminated for year-round enjoyment. The level includes a full bathroom and additional storage areas.

Throughout the home, the developer's attention to detail is evident in the craftsmanship and finishes, including custom millwork in the kitchen and all bathrooms, three custom closets to be built out, stunning hardwood floors, artisan tiles, and sourced marble. The building has been comprehensively rebuilt and expanded with modern systems throughout, a new rear facade, new roof, and state-of-the-art plumbing and electrical infrastructure. All floor joists have been replaced or re-shimmed to ensure level floors and exceptional quiet throughout the home, while a four-zone heating and cooling system provides comfort and control on every level.

Perfectly positioned on East 6th Street between First and Second Avenues, living at Rothko House places you at the center of the East Village's cultural and creative life. Spend afternoons immersed in modern and contemporary art at Brant Foundation, enjoy walks through Cooper Square and Tompkins Square Park, and dine at the neighborhood's Michelin-starred restaurants, cocktail bars, or long-time New York institutions like Veselka, McSorley's, Russ & Daughters and Katz's Deli.
