Finishi za kisasa za usanifu zinakutana na historia ya Manhattan katika nyumba hii ya safu ya mtindo wa Victoria, iliyojengwa mwaka 1887 na kukarabatiwa kwa ustadi, iliyoko katika Sylvan Terrace — mojawapo ya maeneo ya kihistoria yanayoheshimiwa zaidi katika Jiji lote la New York. Makazi haya maridadi yenye vyumba vitatu vya kulala na bafu mbili yanavutia kwa eneo la nje lenye haiba, maelezo halisi ya usanifu na mpangilio wa nyumba ya familia moja uliojaa mwanga wa jua.

Ikiwa imeangaziwa katika jarida la Dwell, nyumba hii ya kuvutia inakukaribisha kwenye ghorofa ya bustani yenye sakafu ya misonobari iliyorejeshwa yenye upana usio sawa, matofali yaliyo wazi na mihimili iliyochongwa kwa mtindo wa asili. Furahia mpangilio mpana na wazi unaounganisha maisha ya ndani na ya nje pamoja na kuwakaribisha wageni, ukiwa umezungukwa na meko ya kuni na taa ya bandari iliyookolewa, au tokeni nje hadi kwenye bustani iliyozungushiwa ukuta kwa ajili ya chakula na kuchoma nyama hewani. Jikoni la kiwango cha mpishi linaboresha safari za upishi kwa kabati za alumini iliyotiwa anodiki, kaunta za marumaru ya Carrara, kofia ya jiko ya zege na vifaa vya kisasa vya chuma cha pua.

Kwenye ghorofa ya saluni, dari zenye medali zilizoundwa upya kwa umakini mkubwa zinainuka juu ya meko nyingine iliyozungukwa na kabati zilizojengewa ndani, milango halisi ya mfukoni iliyofunuliwa kwa uangalifu, na sakafu nzuri iliyopambwa kwa vipande vya mti wa cherry na maple. Ghorofa hii inayoweza kubadilishwa ya vyumba viwili inafaa kikamilifu kwa matumizi kama sebule, ofisi ya nyumbani au chumba cha kulala, pamoja na bafu la kisasa lenye dirisha, bafu la kuingia moja kwa moja na vigae vya marumaru ya quartz vya mtindo wa subway vinavyofika kutoka sakafuni hadi darini.

Kwenye ghorofa ya juu, utagundua chumba kikubwa na angavu cha wamiliki kinachochukua ghorofa nzima, ambapo dari zenye mihimili zenye urefu wa futi 15, chandeli za Kifaransa za karne ya 19 zilizorejeshwa na madirisha ya dari yanayodhibitiwa kwa rimoti huunda mandhari angavu na yenye hewa. Sakafu zimefunikwa kwa mbao za misonobari ya rangi ya malenge, huku meko zinazolingana za kuni na meko za matofali za mapambo zikiongeza uwiano katika eneo hili la kuvutia, lenye nafasi ya kutosha kwa kitanda cha ukubwa wa mfalme na sehemu ya kukalia. Katika bafu lenye dirisha lililo jirani, utapata sakafu za zege, vigae vya quartz vinavyofika kutoka sakafuni hadi darini, bafu la glasi lisilo na fremu na sinki lililowahi kutumika kama chemchemi ya maji katika bustani moja ya Philadelphia. Chumba kikubwa cha kufulia/kabati kinakamilisha ghorofa hii, huku vitengo vya HVAC vya mini-split na radieta za Baxi vikihakikisha starehe mwaka mzima.

Kwa sasa ikiwa imepangwa kama nyumba ya safu ya familia moja yenye chumba kikubwa cha msingi, nyumba hii inayoweza kubadilishwa inaweza kuongezewa kwa urahisi chumba kingine cha kulala kwa kugawanya chumba hicho cha msingi. Au, jengo hili halali la familia mbili linaweza kubadilishwa kwa kuongeza nyumba ya ghorofa ya bustani ili kutoa uwezekano wa mapato ya kukodisha.
