Karibu katika 244 West 139th Street, nyumba ya kipekee ya kihistoria yenye upana wa takriban futi 17, iliyoko kwenye Striver’s Row maarufu, mojawapo ya maeneo ya makazi yenye hadhi na umuhimu mkubwa zaidi wa kihistoria na usanifu wa Harlem. Ikiwa imetambuliwa kuwa sehemu ya St. Nicholas Historic District, Striver’s Row inajulikana kwa nyumba zake kubwa za mjini za mwishoni mwa karne ya 19, mitaa yake maridadi yenye mistari ya miti, na urithi wake tajiri wa kitamaduni. Zamani ikiwa makazi ya baadhi ya wataalamu, wasanii na wabunifu waliofanikiwa zaidi wa Harlem, eneo hili linaendelea kuwakilisha mchanganyiko adimu wa fahari ya kihistoria na maisha mahiri ya mjini.

Ikiwa imejaa sifa zake za awali, nyumba hii ya ajabu yenye gereji ya binafsi inatoa fursa ya kipekee ya kumiliki makazi yanayochanganya kwa ustadi ubora wa ujenzi usio na wakati na starehe za kisasa. Ikiangaziwa na mwanga wa asili kutoka upande wa kusini na kaskazini, nyumba hii imeboreshwa kwa madirisha mawili makubwa ya paa—kila moja likiwa na urefu wa takriban futi 11.5—yanayoangaza sehemu za ndani siku nzima. Ngazi za awali za mbao, mapambo tata ya ukingo, madirisha makubwa kupita kawaida, na maelezo ya mawe yaliyoachwa wazi kwenye ghorofa ya ukumbi yanaheshimu mizizi ya kihistoria ya nyumba hii huku yakiunda mandhari yenye joto na mvuto. Katikati ya nyumba kuna jiko kubwa la kuvutia lililoundwa kuwafurahisha wapishi mahiri pamoja na waandaaji wa hafla. Jiko hilo lina jiko la kitaalamu la Viking lenye vichomeo sita, friji kubwa ya Sub-Zero, kabati nyingi, na nafasi ya kipekee ya kuhifadhi vitu, likitoa uwezekano usio na kikomo wa kukutana, kula na kuishi kila siku. Ghorofa za juu zina bafu kamili kwenye ghorofa ya tatu na ya nne, huku chumba kikuu cha kulala chenye utulivu kikiwa na bafu lililoandaliwa kwa mtindo wa spa na kufunikwa na dirisha zuri la paa, likiunda mahali pazuri pa kupumzika. Uwiano mpana wa vyumba pamoja na madirisha makubwa yanayoelekea kaskazini na kusini huongeza zaidi hali ya nyumba kuwa yenye hewa na mwanga mwingi.

Kwa sasa ikiwa imepangwa kama makazi ya familia mbili, nyumba hii pia ina uwezekano wa kubadilishwa kuwa makazi ya familia tatu, kulingana na vibali vinavyohitajika, na hivyo kutoa unyumbufu wa kipekee kwa wamiliki wa nyumba, makazi ya vizazi vingi, au fursa za uwekezaji. Nyumba ya kiwango hiki—ambapo maelezo ya kihistoria ya usanifu, uwiano mpana wa vyumba, mwanga mwingi wa asili na unyumbufu wa ajabu vinaungana—ni hazina halisi ya Harlem. Hii ni fursa adimu ya kumiliki sehemu ya historia ya usanifu na utamaduni wa Jiji la New York kwenye mojawapo ya mitaa yake ya makazi inayosifika zaidi.
