Likiwa lilijengwa mwaka 1901 na likipatikana katika eneo la kihistoria la Ditmas Park, makazi haya ya kipekee, ambayo hapo awali yalikuwa nyumba ya familia ya Mbunge wa zamani wa Congress Elizabeth Holtzman, yanaunganisha maelezo ya ajabu ya usanifu, uwiano mpana wa vyumba, na mwanga mwingi wa asili. Yakiwa yamejaa haiba na kutunzwa kwa uangalifu, makazi haya yanatoa mchanganyiko adimu wa ufundi wa kihistoria na maisha ya kisasa yenye starehe. Kila upande wa nyumba una vifaa vya taa vya enzi yake, sehemu kubwa ya vifaa vya awali vya milango, pamoja na nafasi nyingi isiyo ya kawaida ya kabati na kuhifadhia vitu, vinavyodhihirisha uhalisia na utendakazi wa nyumba hii.

Baraza lililofunikwa na patio ya matofali vinatoa lango la kuvutia, likizungukwa na mandhari iliyokomaa na mwavuli wa miti unaoleta hisia ya kuwasili na faragha. Ndani, ukumbi mpana wa kuingilia unaonyesha vipengele vingi vya asili vinavyoitofautisha nyumba hii, vikiwemo upinde maridadi wenye kaunta ya huduma yenye kioo na makabati ya awali yaliyojengwa ukutani yanayoungana moja kwa moja na jikoni, pamoja na ngazi ya kuvutia ya mwaloni wa michirizi ya tiger yenye nguzo za shaba zilizomiminwa, zikiwa na mapambo tata ya kamba na vifundo.

Karibu na ukumbi wa kuingilia, maktaba ina rafu zilizojengwa ukutani zinazoanzia sakafuni hadi dari na mahali pa moto palipopambwa, na hivyo kuunda sehemu yenye joto na ya kuvutia ya kujisitiri. Sebule kubwa imejaa mwanga unaoingia kupitia madirisha matano ya awali ya chuma yenye vioo vingi yanayofunguka kwa bawaba, na ina rafu ya juu ya mahali pa moto iliyochongwa kwa mkono pamoja na mapambo adimu ya plasta yaliyomiminwa yenye umbo la matawi ya mtende. Mchana kutwa, mwanga wa jua husogea katika chumba hiki, ukiangazia ustadi wa kisanaa na ukubwa wa nafasi hii ya kipekee.

Chumba rasmi cha kulia kinaweza kuwahudumia wageni wengi kwa starehe huku kikihifadhi hali ya ukaribu kwa ajili ya milo ya kila siku. Kinaungana na jikoni pana yenye eneo la kula, lililoundwa kwa kuzingatia utendaji na pia uwezo wa kuburudisha wageni. Vipengele vyake ni pamoja na kisiwa kikubwa cha katikati chenye sinki, pantry ya mnyweshaji, makabati mawili ya ziada ya kuhifadhia vyakula, na vifaa vya kisasa vya kiwango cha juu, vikiwemo jiko la Wolf, oveni ya ukutani na microwave, mashine ya kuosha vyombo ya Miele, pamoja na jokofu la Sub-Zero.

Zaidi ya jikoni, ua wa nyuma wenye mandhari iliyopangwa hutumika kama mwendelezo wa faragha wa nyumba. Mtaro wa kulia wa mawe ya bluestone unaangalia nyasi pana iliyozungukwa na mimea iliyokomaa, ikiwemo maua ya hydrangea, mtini, mti wa maple wa Japani, na bustani za kudumu zilizoimarika, na kuunda mazingira tulivu kwa ajili ya kula chakula nje, kuburudisha wageni, au kutumia alasiri kwa utulivu.

Ghorofa ya pili ina vyumba vitatu vyenye mwanga mwingi na bafu mbili kamili. Chumba kikuu cha kulala kina rafu ya juu ya mahali pa moto iliyotengenezwa kwa marumaru, bafu la ndani, na chumba cha kuvaa chenye makabati manne yaliyo na makabati maalum ya awali yaliyojengwa ukutani. Chumba cha pili cha kulala kina makabati maalum yaliyojengwa ukutani pamoja na dawati, huku cha tatu kikifaa vizuri kuwa chumba cha mtoto mchanga, ofisi, au chumba cha wageni.

Vyumba vitatu vya ziada vya kulala vipo kwenye ghorofa ya tatu, pamoja na bafu kamili. Chumba kimoja kina ngazi ya mviringo inayoelekea kwenye nafasi ya juu inayofaa kuwa ofisi ya nyumbani, chumba cha burudani za vyombo vya habari, au eneo la kuchezea, huku kingine kikiwa na kabati kubwa la kuingia ndani. Makabati mapana na sehemu za kuhifadhia vitu zinapatikana pia katika kiwango hiki. Kama ilivyo katika sehemu nyingine za nyumba, vyumba hivi vinafaidika na mwanga mzuri wa asili na mandhari ya miti ya jirani.

Basement iliyokamilishwa hutoa nafasi kubwa ya ziada ya kuishi, ikiwemo chumba kikubwa cha burudani, beseni la Jacuzzi lenye hali kama ya spa na sauna, bafu kamili, pamoja na chumba cha kufulia chenye mashine ya kufua na kukausha nguo ya LG inayopakia kutoka mbele.

Gereji iliyojitenga ya magari mawili na njia binafsi ya kuingilia yenye nafasi ya kuegesha magari mawili ya ziada vinakamilisha mali hii.

Ikiwa limewekwa mahali pazuri karibu na maduka, mikahawa, na huduma za mtaa zinazopatikana Cortelyou Road na Newkirk Plaza, pamoja na ufikivu rahisi wa treni za B na Q, hili ni fursa adimu ya kumiliki nyumba ya kihistoria yenye hadhi, inayounganisha umuhimu wa usanifu, ukubwa wa kipekee, na uhusiano maridadi kati ya maisha ya ndani na ya nje.
