Nyumba hii ya kipekee, iliyojitenga kabisa, ya kisasa ya mwisho wa Victoria inayoonekana kama alama, ikiwa na porch kubwa ya mbele na bustani ya kuvutia inayozunguka, imepandishwa kwa ustadi na kurejeshwa kwa ajili ya maisha ya kifahari na burudani ya kushangaza. Ni mahali pa sanaa na ufundi lililo umbali wa dakika 5 kwa kutembea kutoka Prospect Park, ikiwa na muunganisho wa moja kwa moja wa treni za chini kuelekea mjini, nyumba hii inatoa mvuto wa mali ya kihistoria pamoja na maboresho yote na mahitaji ya maisha ya kisasa ya mijini.
Ukijumuika ndani ya nyumba, unapata hisia ya kusafiri katika wakati, ukiwa ndani ya uzuri mkubwa lakini wa upole wa nyumba, ikiwa na wallpaper zenye uchapishaji wa hariri, chandelier, na kugusa laini za mikono katika ngazi zote tatu.
Kama kutoka kwenye toleo la jarida (ambalo kuna mengi!), kuta za chumba cha kulia zinafufuliwa na mural ya mikono ya Kichina katika mtindo wa De Gournay na mapambo mengine ya kipekee yanayoalika wageni kushiriki katika milo ndefu, yenye furaha na ya kudumu. Chumba kilichojaa mwanga, ambacho kinapambwa na chandelier kubwa ya kioo, pia kina kazi za kutengeneza za asili zenye rangi ya Farrow and Ball Calke Green, ikifunga mahusiano yake vyema na jikoni. Kuna vyumba viwili vya ziada vya kuishi kwenye ghorofa ya chini vyenye kazi za kihistoria za asli na kung'ara kwa moto.
Jikoni kubwa la kula ni moyo wa nyumba - lina mvuto wa kupendeza wa majimbo ya Uingereza na limepambwa kikamilifu kwa kumaliza yenye ubora wa urithi na jiko la kiwango cha mpishi la Garland. Mapambo yake yana wallpaper maarufu ya William Morris, kabati za rangi ya Farrow na Ball na mwanga wa wabunifu. Madirisha na mwangaza wa juu yanatoa mwangaza mwingi, pamoja na mlango wa kioo unaofungua kwenda kwenye patio ya bluestone, ambapo unazungukwa mara moja na bustani ya misitu ya zamani pamoja na porch kubwa ya futi 700 ya mraba, iliyoinuliwa, inayozunguka, ambayo ni rahisi kutunza, ikiwa na sakafu ya mawe na “chumba cha nje” chenye trellis binafsi, mzuri kwa ajili ya burudani.
Mambo muhimu ya mali hii yanaendelea na vyumba saba vikubwa vilivyojaa mwangaza, vyote vikiwa na wallpaper za Kihifadhi za Ulaya za kiwango cha juu, ikiwa ni pamoja na chumba kikuu kikiwa na chimney ya kupamba ya Kiviktoria na bafu yake binafsi - moja ya bafu 3.5 zilizorejeshwa kwa ukamilifu, zote zikiwa zimeundwa kwa ladha katika mtindo wa sanaa na ufundi. Chumba kikubwa chenye matumizi mengi/kisasa kwenye ghorofa ya 3 kinakabili magharibi na kuunda mandhari nzuri ya jua kutua.
Huenda sifa ya kipekee zaidi ya mali hii ni bustani nzuri ya zamani ya nyumba ya Kiingereza inayozunguka nyumba katika kukumbatia ya mimea inayoshamiri inayoendelea kupamba kwa msimu mzima. Ilipangwa kitaaluma kama mfululizo wa "vyumba" vidogo, bustani hii ni ndoto ya wapenda mimea, ikiwa na aina zaidi ya 65 za rose zinazounda kuta za maua yenye harufu nzuri, ikiwa na lilacs, wisterias, hydrangeas, elderflower, mimea ya daima, mimea inayoshiriki mwaka mzima, na vitunguu vinavyostawi.
Lakini bustani hii si nzuri tu, pia ni tamu, ikiwa na tufaha, pera, figa, na raspberries, yote yakiinuliwa (yakiwekwa kwa usawa) ili kukidhi mahitaji ya maisha ya mijini na kufanya vizuri katika kitanda chenye inchi 8 za udongo wa kikaboni ambao ulifanyiwa mabadiliko katika mali nzima. Yote yanaendelea vizuri kwa mfumo wa umwagiliaji wenye ufanisi na wa kina.
Nyumba hii kwa msingi ina bustani yake binafsi iliyopangwa kitaaluma - ikiwakilisha kwa hali nzuri hisia za tovuti ya kipekee ya eneo la mji iliyotolewa kwa sura ya rus en urbe (mji ndani ya nchi). Bustani hii ina mapendekezo ya wasambazaji wa huduma za ndani na maelezo zaidi kuhusu mimea kwa wahusika wanaovutiwa.
Mbali na usanifu huu wa kisanii na muundo wa kuthaminiwa kuna maboresho muhimu ya mitambo yanayoakikisha uadilifu na ufanisi wa nyumba - ikitoa wanunuzi kiwango cha usalama, thamani, na amani ya akili ambavyo havihusiani mara nyingi na nyumba za kihistoria. Ya kichawi, ya kuvutia, isiyo na mfano, na tayari kuhamia; 85 Westminster itakufanya uingie kwenye uchawi wake - iangalie wakati bustani iko katika maua kamili.
Maboresho yanajumuisha:
- Mifumo ya umeme na mabomba yaliyo sasishwa
- Air conditioning ya mfumo wa kati na iliyogawanyika katika.

This distinctive, fully detached, grand late-Victorian landmarked home with its soaring front porch and enchanting surrounding garden, has been artfully designed and restored for gracious living and spectacular entertaining. An arts and crafts oasis just a 5 minute walk from Prospect Park with direct subway links to the city, this home provides the charm of a historical property with all the upgrades and demands of modern city living.
Upon entering the house you immediately time travel, immersed in the opulent splendor yet subtle elegance of the home, featuring silkscreened wallpapers, chandeliers, and delicate hand crafted touches throughout all 3 floors.
Straight out of a magazine editorial (of which there have been many!), the walls of the dining room come to life with a hand-painted chinoiserie mural in the style of De Gournay and more bespoke flourishes that invite guests to indulge in long, lively, lingering meals. The light-filled room, which is crowned with an exceptionally large crystal chandelier, also features original woodwork painted in Farrow and Ball Calke Green, seamlessly tying it together with the kitchen. There are two additional spacious living rooms on the ground floor with original historic woodwork and three fireplaces.
The generously sized eat-in kitchen is the heart of the home-it's rich with English country-estate charm and fully accented with heirloom quality finishes and a chef-sized Garland stove. The decor features renowned William Morris wallpaper, Farrow and Ball-painted cabinets and designer light fixtures. The windows and skylights provide massive amounts of light, as well as a glass door opening out to the bluestone patio, where you are immediately surrounded by a mature woodland garden as well as an oversized 700 square foot porch, elevated, wrap-around, low maintenance stone-floored porch featuring a private trellised 'outdoor room', perfect for entertaining.
Highlights of this property continue with seven large light-filled bedrooms, all featuring high-end European wallpapers, including the primary featuring a beautiful Victorian-tiled fireplace and its own en-suite bath-one of 3.5 fully renovated baths, all tastefully designed in the arts and crafts style. A large versatile bedroom/studio suite on the 3rd floor faces west and perfectly frames every sunset.
Perhaps the property's most remarkable feature of all is the splendid mature English cottage garden that surrounds the home in a lush blooming botanical embrace throughout every season. Professionally designed as a series of small "rooms", this garden is a plant lover's dream, boasting over 65 types of roses that form walls of fragrant blooms, accompanied by lilacs, wisterias, hydrangeas, elderflower, evergreens, all-season perennials, and flowering bulbs.
But this garden isn't just beautiful, it's also delicious, including apples, pears, figs, and raspberries, all espaliered (train horizontal) to accommodate city living and thriving in an 8-inch bed of organic top soil that was replaced throughout the property. All is kept thriving with an efficient and comprehensive irrigation system.
This home essentially comes with its own private professionally landscaped botanic garden-perfectly epitomizing the landmarked neighborhood's rus en urbe (country in the city) vibe. The garden comes with recommendations for local maintenance providers and further extensive information about the plants for interested parties.
Beyond this artful architecture and curated design are significant mechanical upgrades that ensure the integrity and functionality of the home-offering buyers a level security, value, and peace of mind not often associated with historic homes. Magical, enchanting, utterly unique, and move-in ready; 85 Westminster will cast a spell on you-see it while the garden is in full bloom.
