Nyumba hii ya kipekee ya zamani ya magari ya kukokotwa iliyoko Greenwich Village, yenye gereji na njia ya kuingilia kutoka barabarani, inaunganisha ya kale na ya kisasa, maeneo ya umma na ya faragha, pamoja na ndani na nje—kwa namna inayoakisi maisha yenyewe ya New York City. Imekarabatiwa upya kabisa kwa umakini mkubwa na imeundwa kwa matumizi mengi yanayoweza kubadilika. Kwa sasa ina vyumba vitatu vya kulala, bafu mbili na nusu, pamoja na eneo kubwa la ghorofa ya chini lenye usanifu wa ndani wa kuvutia wa wabunifu kila mahali. Ingawa kwa sasa imepangiwa matumizi mchanganyiko, nyumba hii ya mwaka 1829 ilijengwa kwenye ardhi iliyomilikiwa na Makamu wa Tatu wa Rais wa Marekani, Aaron Burr. Leo, jengo hili ni miongoni mwa majengo ya zamani zaidi na yanayopigwa picha zaidi jijini, kutokana na kuangaziwa kwenye House Beautiful, Elle, The Wall Street Journal na vitabu viwili vya mapambo ya meza ya sebuleni.

Ikiwa ndani ya Eneo la Kihistoria la Greenwich Village, nyumba hii ya magari ya kukokotwa yenye upana wa futi 25 ilifanyiwa ukarabati wa kina uliohifadhi na kurejesha sehemu kubwa ya vipengele vyake vya kihistoria vinavyopendwa, huku ukiongeza miguso ya kisasa ya kuvutia na isiyotarajiwa. Baadhi ya mihimili ya awali ya mbao ya sakafu iliyohitaji kubadilishwa ilitumiwa tena kutengeneza rafu, huku mingine ikiwa bado ipo katika hali yake ya awali. Jengo hili la futi za mraba 3,620 limeundwa kwa ajili ya kuishi kati ya ndani na nje na kuandaa hafla za kifahari kwenye ghorofa ya pili. Huko, mihimili iliyoachwa wazi inapanda juu ya sakafu za mbao ngumu zenye mbao pana, na ukuta wa milango ya kioo inayokunjika hufungua ghorofa nzima kuelekea kwenye baraza la karibu futi za mraba 900. Wazia mikusanyiko ya kupendeza ya kula nje, ukiwa umezungukwa na kuta za matofali zilizofunikwa na mimea ya ivy na mandhari ya Village. Jiko la nje lenye vifaa kamili na jiko la kuchomea nyama la gesi linafaa kabisa kwa shamrashamra za kuchoma nyama wakati wa kiangazi. Bustani ya kipekee iliyozama ardhini pamoja na eneo la kuwashia moto ni kitovu cha kuvutia, huku kukiwa na mandhari ya hapa na pale ya eneo la ghorofa ya chini. Ndani, jiko la wazi la kuvutia linang’aa kwa kisiwa kikubwa cha quartz chenye ukingo wa maporomoko, kinachotumika pia kama kaunta ya kifungua kinywa, kilichopambwa kwa mbao na taa za shaba zinazoning’inia juu yake. Vifaa vyote vya Miele vinajumuisha jiko lenye mfumo wa kufyonza moshi unaojificha ndani ya kaunta, mashine ya kuosha vyombo, microwave ya droo na jokofu la mvinyo, pamoja na mashine ya kufulia na kukaushia nguo.

Panda ngazi ya wazi ya mtindo wa viwandani na wa kisasa ili ugundue sehemu za faragha kwenye ghorofa ya juu. Chumba kikuu cha kulala kilichojazwa na mwanga wa jua kina ukuta wa vioo unaoangalia ngazi iliyoangaziwa kutoka juu kwa madirisha ya paa, pamoja na bafu tulivu la mtindo wa spa lenye vigae vikubwa kuanzia sakafuni hadi darini, rafu zilizo wazi, bomba la mvua la mvua la Duravit, beseni la kuogea na kabati la beseni mbili linaloelea. Vyumba viwili vingine vya kulala vinatumia bafu jingine kamili lenye bomba la mvua lililozungushiwa vioo visivyo na fremu, dirisha la paa na mapambo ya kifahari ya mawe.

Kwa kuwa na njia yake ya kuingilia kutoka barabarani, ghorofa ya chini ya nyumba hii ni eneo kubwa lililo wazi na linaloweza kubadilishwa kwa matumizi mbalimbali—linafaa kama gereji ya ndoto kwa mkusanyaji wa magari, studio ya sanaa au eneo la maonyesho, ofisi ya kampuni changa au sehemu ya ziada ya kuishi. Dari zenye urefu wa futi 14, sakafu za zege zilizong’arishwa, madirisha ya juu ya milango na mitazamo ya sehemu ya bustani iliyozama ardhini vinaongeza hisia ya ukubwa wa kipekee wa eneo hili. Chumba cha choo, chumba cha kufulia, vyumba vya kuhifadhia na nafasi ya ziada ya kuhifadhi kwenye pishi vinakamilisha maficho haya ya kipekee katikati ya jiji.

This peerless Greenwich Village carriage house with curb cut garage, melds old and new, public and private, indoors and outdoors, in a way that nods to life in New York City itself. Painstakingly gut-renovated and ultra-flexible, currently configured as three bedrooms, two-and-a-half bathrooms, and expansive ground-floor space with breathtaking designer interiors throughout. Currently zoned as mixed-use, this 1829 house was built on land owned by the third Vice President of the United States, Aaron Burr. Today, the structure is among the city's oldest and most photographed thanks to star turns in House Beautiful, Elle, The Wall Street Journal and two coffee table books.

Located within the Greenwich Village Historic District, the 25-foot-wide carriage house underwent a thorough renovation that salvaged and restored much of the cherished historic detail while adding compelling, unexpected modern touches. Some of the original wood joists needing replacement were repurposed as shelving, while others are still intact. The 3,620-square-foot building welcomes indoor-outdoor living and lavish entertaining on the second floor, where exposed beams rise over wide-plank hardwood floors, and a wall of folding glass doors opens the level entirely to the nearly 900-square-foot terrace. Imagine glorious al fresco gatherings surrounded by ivy-covered brick walls and the sights of the Village. A well-equipped outdoor kitchen with a gas grill is perfect for summer barbecues, while the unique sunken garden and fire-pit provide a stunning focal point with peek-a-boo views into the ground-floor space below.
