Kubwa kwa ukubwa na tajiri kwa historia, 10 West 9th Street ni nyumba ya mtaa yenye upana wa futi 25, takriban miguu 7,600, iliyo katika eneo bora la Gold Coast la Greenwich Village, hatua chache kutoka Avenue ya Tano na Washington Square Park. Ilish Construw 1841 na mfanyabiashara tajiri wa mbao Thomas McKie, jengo la ghorofa sita la Kisasa la Kigiriki linaakisi uzuri wa enzi hiyo na linawakilisha fursa nadra, ya kwanza katika muongo sita, ya kumiliki mfano huu wa kipekee wa historia ya Greenwich Village na kuwa sehemu ya sura yake inayofuata.

Kwa karibu karne mbili, nyumba hii, iliyoko upande wa kusini wa West 9th Street, imekaribisha aina mbalimbali za wakazi na wageni na kuwa salon yenye nguvu kwa wasanii maarufu, waandishi na wasomi, ikiakisi nishati na ubunifu ambavyo vimekuwa vikifafanua eneo hili kila wakati. Leo, nyumba hii inasimama kama jiwe la usanifu lililohifadhiwa vyema na ushuhuda wa urithi wa kisanii na kitamaduni wa Greenwich Village.

Usanifu wa nyumba hii ni wa kipekee kama historia yake. Paa la shaba zuri linafanya muonekano wa dirisha la anga kubwa la ghorofa mbili ambalo huleta mwanga wa Kaskazini mwororo ndani ya duplex ya ghorofa ya 5 na nyuzi 17 za dari. Ghorofa hizi za juu mbili zilitengenezwa mwaka 1922 na msanii maarufu William Glackens, ambaye ni muanzilishi wa Shule ya Ashcan, na mkewe, msanii Edith Dimock, ambao walizitumia kama studio kubwa ya wasanii ikiwa na terasa ya ghorofa ya 5 inayoangalia bustani na miti. Kazi za Glackens zilikusanywa sana na zimeonyeshwa katika Makumbusho ya Sanaa ya Metropolitan, Jumba la Maktaba la Corcoran, Taasisi ya Carnegie, Jumba la Maktaba la Addison, na makusanyo mengi ya kibinafsi maarufu.

Ghorofa ya parlor ina sebule kubwa ya open-plan na chumba cha kula, dari zinazoinuka zaidi ya 13', kombeo mbili za zamani, pilasters nzuri, vichwa na mapambo, na milango mikubwa iliyorejeshwa. Dirisha kubwa linalozunguka ghorofa lote linaelekea kwenye terasa ya nyuma, ambayo inaangazia bustani kubwa ya kibinafsi iliyoko kusini inayoangaziwa na jua, na imezungukwa na miti mirefu ya zamani.

Ngazi ya bustani inatoa uwezekano wa eneo kubwa la ukubwa wote, ambalo linafunguka moja kwa moja kwenye bustani ya nyuma, au linaweza kushikiliwa katika mpangilio wake wa sasa, ambao unajumuisha apartment ya studio yenye kuingia tofauti chini ya hatua, bora kwa wageni, msaada wa nyumbani au matumizi ya ofisi.

Katika chini ya ghorofa, ambayo inaweza kubadilishwa kuwa kituo cha mazoezi/spa/chumba cha michezo/kinema, kwa sasa inahifadhi boiler na maeneo makubwa ya hifadhi.

Nyumba ina maelezo mengine ya kupigiwa mfano wa usanifu, ikiwa ni pamoja na kambo sita (zingine zikiwa na milango na mazingira ya awali), oven ya Kiholanzi ya asili, dari za zaidi ya 11' katika vyumba vya ghorofa ya 3, skylight mbili za nyongeza za ghorofa ya 6, uso wa tofali wa joto ulio na mipako ya brownstone, hatua ya kuvutia yenye kazi za chuma zenye michoro, palmettes na mitindo ya funguo za Kigiriki, mlango wa kuingia uliozungukwa na pilasters ndefu zikiwa na vichwa vya acanthus, na transom ya kioo tatu ambayo inaruhusu mwanga wa asili kuingia kwenye foyer ya nje.

Kiambatisho cha nyuma kilicho na ghorofa nne kinajipatia matumizi mengi kwa mmiliki wa baadaye, ikiwa ni pamoja na chumba cha kifungua kinywa, ofisi za nyumbani, vyumba vya wageni na maeneo mengine ya nje ya kibinafsi. Kutegemea idhini ya LPC na DOB, pia kinaweza kutumika kama msingi wa kupanua eneo la sasa la mali, juhudi ambayo imefanikiwa na majirani kadhaa katika muongo uliopita.

Nyumba hii yenye upana mkubwa, ghorofa sita na bustani inayokabili upande wa kusini inaweza kutolewa bila watu, na katika soko la leo imewekwa vyema ili kurejeshwa kwa uzuri wake wa awali kama jumba la kibinafsi la Greenwich Village. Usikose fursa hii ya kuita 10 West 9th Street yako.

Grand in scale and rich in history, 10 West 9th Street is a 25-foot-wide, approximately 7,600 square foot townhouse located in Greenwich Village's prime Gold Coast, steps away from Fifth Avenue and Washington Square Park. Constructed in 1841 by wealthy lumber merchant Thomas McKie, the six-story Greek Revival embodies the elegance of its era and represents a rare opportunity, the first in six decades, to own this unique example of Greenwich Village history and become part of its next chapter.

For almost two centuries, this home, situated on the south side of West 9th Street, has welcomed an extraordinary array of residents and visitors and been a vibrant salon for notable artists, writers and intellectuals, reflecting the energy and originality that has always defined this neighborhood. Today, this commanding townhouse stands as a beautifully preserved architectural gem and a testament to the artistic and cultural legacy of Greenwich Village.

The home's architecture is as special as its history. A beautiful, copper mansard roof frames an impossible-to-duplicate two-story skylight window wall that floods the 5th floor duplex and its 17' ceilings with gentle Northern light. These top two floors were constructed in 1922 by famed artist William Glackens, founder of the Ashcan School, and his wife, artist Edith Dimock, who used them as a grand artist's studio complete with a 5th floor terrace overlooking the garden and trees. Glackens' work was highly collected and has hung in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Corcoran Gallery, Carnegie Institute, Addison Gallery, and many notable private collections.

The parlor floor features a huge, open-plan living and dining room, ceilings that soar more than 13', two antique fireplaces, beautiful pilasters, capitals and moldings, and massive restored doors. A full-width, floor-to-ceiling window wall leads to the rear terrace, which opens onto a large, sunny, south-facing private garden flanked by tall, mature trees.

The garden level offers the possibility of an enormous, full-length, floor-through space opening directly into the rear garden, or can be kept in its current configuration, which includes a studio apartment with a separate under-stoop entrance, perfect for guests, household help or office use.

A full sub-basement, which can be reimagined as a fitness center/spa/playroom/theatre, currently houses the boiler and huge storage areas.

The house features other impressive architectural details, including six fireplaces (some with original mantels and surrounds), an original Dutch oven, ceilings of more than 11' in the 3rd floor bedrooms, two additional 6th floor skylights, a warm brick facade trimmed in brownstone, a dramatic stoop with intricate ironwork incorporating rosettes, palmettes and Greek key motifs, an entry door framed by tall pilasters capped with acanthus capitals, and a three-paned transom that allows natural light into the exterior foyer.

A grandfathered, four-story rear extension lends itself to many possible uses for the future homeowner, including a breakfast room, home offices, guest rooms and additional private outdoor spaces. Subject to LPC and DOB approval, it could also be used as the basis to expand the property's current footprint, an effort successfully accomplished by several neighbors in the past decade.

This extra-wide, six-story townhouse and south-facing garden can be delivered vacant, and in today's marketplace is perfectly positioned to be restored to its original grandeur as a personal Greenwich Village mansion. Don't miss this opportunity to call 10 West 9th Street your own.
