Imeangaziwa katika jarida la Architectural Digest na kuorodheshwa kwenye Daftari la Kitaifa la Maeneo ya Kihistoria, nyumba hii adimu ya mjini yenye upana wa futi 24.5 imerejeshwa kwa uangalifu, na ni mojawapo ya nyumba tatu pekee za wafanyabiashara zilizosalia zilizojengwa kwa mtindo wa mpito wa Federal/Greek Revival. Ikiwa katika Wilaya ya Kihistoria ya Sullivan-Thompson huko Soho, na ikiwa imejengwa kwenye ardhi iliyowahi kuwa sehemu ya milki ya Makamu wa Rais wa zamani Aaron Burr, makazi haya mashuhuri yana mvuto mkubwa wa nje na yanatoa haiba ya kipekee yenye vyumba vikubwa, maelezo ya usanifu ya enzi hiyo, meko sita za kuni, pamoja na mwanga mwingi unaoingia kupitia madirisha ya awali yenye fremu zinazoteleza.

Tangu unapopanda ngazi ndefu za mbele na kutazama mlango wa kuvutia wa kuingilia, unajua umefika mahali maalum. Ukumbi mpana wa kuingilia unaelekea kwenye sebule maridadi yenye sehemu mbili, dari zenye urefu wa futi 14, mapambo ya plasta yaliyosanifiwa kwa ustadi, meko za oniksi zinazolingana na mwanga unaopenya kupitia madirisha ya kihistoria yenye mpangilio wa vioo sita juu ya sita. Zaidi mbele, jiko kubwa lenye msukumo wa mtindo wa Tuscan na eneo la kula linakamilisha ghorofa hii na kutoa njia ya kwenda kwenye bustani maridadi na ya faragha, “bustani ya siri,” inayofaa kwa mapumziko na kula nje.

Ghorofa mbili za juu za nyumba zimejaa mwanga wa asili na zina vyumba vinne vikubwa vya kulala, kila kimoja kikiwa na meko ya kuni, pamoja na vyumba viwili tofauti vya kujisomea ambavyo vinaweza kubadilishwa kwa urahisi kuwa vyumba vya ziada vya kulala. Ghorofa ya chini ya mtindo wa basement ya Kiingereza inaenea katika eneo lote la nyumba na kwa sasa ni nafasi iliyo wazi yenye uwezekano usio na kikomo. Ikiwa na njia za kuingilia kutoka ghorofa ya sebule au chini ya ngazi za mbele, nafasi hii pana inaweza kutumika kwa njia mbalimbali, zikiwemo vyumba vya ziada vya kulala, ofisi ya faragha au nyumba tofauti ya mgeni. Pishi lote lililo chini limekamilishwa kuwa ukumbi wa mazoezi wa nyumbani na lina chumba kikubwa tofauti cha kufulia pamoja na nafasi nyingi sana za kuhifadhi. Vistawishi vya ziada vinajumuisha mfumo wa kati wa kiyoyozi wenye kanda nyingi, rafu za vitabu zilizotengenezwa maalum, nafasi nyingi za kuhifadhi na chumba kidogo cha choo chenye haiba kwa ajili ya wageni.

Ofa hii ya kipekee inatoa fursa adimu ya kuishi katika mojawapo ya nyumba za kihistoria zinazothaminiwa zaidi jijini New York, na itawavutia wale wanaothamini historia na wanaopenda kuhifadhi urithi wa majengo. Bila shaka, kuna pia eneo lenye kuvutia la Soho, lililozungukwa na usanifu wenye umuhimu wa kihistoria, mikahawa mizuri, kumbi za kahawa, maghala ya sanaa, maduka ya kiwango cha kimataifa na kila aina ya huduma inayohitajika mlangoni pako. Hakika, ni ya aina yake!

Featured in Architectural Digest and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, this rare, 24.5-foot wide townhouse has been sympathetically restored and is one of only three surviving merchant houses built in the transitional Federal/Greek Revival style. Located in Soho's Sullivan-Thompson Historic District, and built on land that was once part of the estate of former Vice President Aaron Burr, this iconic residence has tremendous curb appeal and offers exceptional charm with grand-scaled rooms, period details, 6 wood-burning fireplaces and bright exposures through original sash windows.

From the moment you ascend the high stoop and gaze up at the impressive front door, you know you've arrived someplace special. A wide entrance vestibule leads to a magnificent double parlor with soaring 14-foot ceilings, ornate plaster moldings, matching onyx fireplaces and light through historic 6-over-6 windows. Just beyond, a large Tuscan-inspired eat-in-kitchen completes the floor and provides access to a lush, intimate "secret garden" ideal for relaxing and dining al fresco.

The top two floors of the house are bathed in natural light and offer four large bedrooms each with a wood-burning fireplace, and two separate studies that easily convert to additional bedrooms. The ground floor English Basement extends the full footprint of the house and is currently an open plan with unlimited potential. Accessed from either the parlor level or underneath the front stoop, this expansive space offers numerous options including additional bedrooms, a private office or a separate guest apartment. The full cellar below is finished as a home gym and offers a large separate laundry room and endless amounts of storage. Additional amenities include multi-zoned central air-conditioning, custom-milled bookshelves, copious amounts of storage and a charming powder room for guests.

This very special offering presents a rare opportunity to live in one of New York's most treasured landmarked homes and will appeal to those who appreciate history and have a passion for preservation. And of course, there's the alluring Soho location, surrounded by historically significant architecture with great restaurants, cafe's, galleries, world class shopping and every possible convenience right at your doorstep. Truly one-of-a-kind!
