Nyumba ya Kupigwa Jicho katika Upper West Side. Iite nasibu au bahati kwamba muda na fahari ya umiliki zimeunda moja ya nyumba za kipekee na nzuri zaidi katika Upper West Side. Iliyokusanywa mwaka wa 1885 na mbunifu maarufu wa New York C.P.H. Gilbert, maarufu kwa majumba yake ya Fifth Avenue, muonekano wa nyumba hii ya Queen Anne inasimama kwa fahari kwenye barabara yake ya mandhari, kama ilivyokuwa tangu karne ya 19. Hata hivyo, hatua moja ndani na ulimwengu umebadilishwa kuwa nafasi inayoendelea kwa usawa wa mwanga na vipimo vya ukamilifu, vilivyoundwa na wasanifu maarufu Hariri & Hariri.

Nyumba hii ya ghorofa tano ina vyumba vinne vya kulala pamoja na studios ya msanii, bafuni tatu na nusu, na mwanga mwingi wa asili kutoka kwa madirisha ya angani na madirisha makubwa ya sakafu hadi dari. Jiko kubwa la mpishi, lililotengenezwa na kabati za wabunifu, vifaa vya kiwango cha juu, na mtungi wa kisasa, lipo kwenye kiwango cha bustani, ambapo wapishi na wanakula wanapata mandhari ya bustani ya kijani kibichi. Chumba cha chakula kinaovutia na dari zake za urefu wa mara mbili, huku sebule ikiwa na koo inayofanya kazi na ukuta wa kioo unaofafanua bustani iliyo nyuma.

Ghorofa ya tatu na ya nne inajumuisha vyumba vikubwa vya kulala ambavyo vimepangwa vizuri na bafu za anasa za mawe. Chumba kikuu cha kulala kina koo inayofanya kazi na madirisha ya angani. Ghorofa ya tano kwa sasa imepangiliwa kama studio ya msanii, ikiwa na madirisha ya angani, terasi, na mandhari ya Central Park.

Ushirikiano huu kati ya nguvu mbili muhimu za usanifu unasababisha muungano wa ajabu wa muonekano wa kihistoria na muundo wa kisasa wa ndani - ukiruza zamani na mpya kupitia usawa mzuri wa nafasi ili kuunda nyumba ya joto, ya kisasa, na ya kipekee kweli.

Stunning House on the Upper West Side. Call it fate or serendipity that time and pride of ownership have created one of the most unique and beautiful homes on the Upper West Side. Built in 1885 by the eminent New York architect C.P.H. Gilbert, famed for his Fifth Avenue mansions, the exterior of this Queen Anne townhouse stands proudly on its scenic block, seemingly untouched since the 19th century. Yet one step inside and the world is transformed into an elegantly balanced space of light and perfect proportions, created by the renowned architects Hariri & Hariri.

This five-story home features four bedrooms plus an artist’s studio, three and one-half baths, and abundant natural light from skylights and dramatic double-height floor-to-ceiling windows. An expansive chef’s kitchen, complete with designer cabinetry, top-of-the-line appliances, and a modern dumbwaiter, is situated on the garden level, where both cooks and diners enjoy leafy garden views. The dining room is striking with its double-height ceilings, while the living room is graced with a working fireplace and a glass wall that seamlessly frames the garden beyond.

The third and fourth floors comprise spacious, well-proportioned bedrooms and luxurious limestone baths. The primary bedroom features a working fireplace and skylight. The fifth floor is currently configured as an artist’s studio, complete with skylight, terrace, and views of Central Park.

This collaboration between two important architectural forces creates an extraordinary synthesis of historic exterior and modern interior design — bridging old and new through perfect spatial harmony to create a warm, contemporary, and truly exceptional home.
