Nyumba Maalum ya Magari ya Kukokotwa, Iliyobuniwa Upya kwa Maisha ya Kisasa

Jengo hili la zamani la karne ya 19 lililotumika kuhifadhi magari ya kukokotwa na farasi, limebuniwa upya na wamiliki wake ambao ni wasanifu majengo, na kubadilishwa kwa ustadi kuwa makazi na sehemu ya kufanyia kazi yenye eneo la futi za mraba 4,000—muunganiko wa kipekee wa urithi, usanifu na anasa. Likiwa kwenye kiwanja chenye kina cha futi 131, eneo hili linajumuisha makazi makuu yenye upana wa futi 25 na kina cha futi 50, gereji ya magari mawili, pamoja na nyumba ya wageni na spa iliyojengwa maalum, yenye upana wa futi 25. Ni nafasi na faragha adimu, dakika chache tu kutoka Prospect Park.

Kila kipengele kinaonyesha ustadi wa kutumia vifaa: sakafu pana za jozi nyeusi zenye mfumo wa kupasha joto, mihimili ya misonobari ya yellow leaf heart pine, mbao zilizookolewa za sequoia, matofali yaliyoachwa wazi, chuma kilichoviringishwa kikiwa moto na plasta ya Kiveneti—vyote vikichangia umbile na kina. Katikati ya nyumba, ngazi ya kuelea yenye umbo la sanamu, iliyounganishwa kwa viungio vya ulimi na tundu na kuning’inizwa kati ya kuta za mawe na nguzo za awali zilizoachwa wazi, huipa uthabiti sehemu ya ndani yenye dari refu, mwanga mwingi na meko matatu ya kuni.

Mlango wa ghorofa ya chini unakukaribisha kwa ngazi yake ya mbao ya kuvutia, inayoning’inia na kufichwa kwa sehemu na kizuizi cha mbao. Sakafu za zege zilizosuguliwa zinaelekea kwenye chumba cha mapumziko cha nyuma chenye jiko la kuni la chuma cha kutupwa lenye mwonekano wa kiasili. Madirisha makubwa ya Loewen na milango ya vioo hufunguka moja kwa moja kuelekea bustani ya faragha iliyojaa mimea. Ghorofa ya pili iliyo wazi huzunguka jiko la mpishi la kiwango cha kitaalamu, lenye kabati za jozi nyeusi zilizotengenezwa maalum, na oveni ya pizza inayotumia kuni iliyo chini ya dari ya bati lililokandamizwa.

Ghorofa ya juu ina vyumba vitatu vya kulala na bafu mbili zilizoundwa kwa mitindo tofauti. Vina sakafu inayoendelea, mifereji fiche ya maji iliyobuniwa kwa ustadi, beseni la zamani la shaba la Kimarekani na paneli za vioo zinazoanzia sakafuni hadi darini, zinazounda mazingira ya kipekee. Bustani kubwa, iliyopambwa kwa mawe ya Belgian block yaliyookolewa na mawe ya bluestone, inaelekea kwenye nyumba ya wageni yenye sehemu mbili: upande mmoja ni studio yenye mwanga wa jua na milango ya vioo ya kuteleza inayofunguka moja kwa moja kuelekea bustanini; upande mwingine ni spa tulivu yenye msukumo wa Kijapani, iliyo na beseni la kulowea la mbao za hinoki, chumba cha mvuke, bafu lililo wazi lenye mapambo ya slate na sakafu yenye mfumo wa kupasha joto. Miundombinu ya kisasa inayojumuisha mfumo wa kupasha na kupoza hewa unaodhibitiwa kwa kanda, maji ya moto yanayopatikana papo hapo, paa jipya lenye kinga ya joto, huduma za chini ya ardhi na pishi la mvinyo lenye udhibiti wa hali ya hewa linaloweza kuhifadhi chupa 2,000, hukamilisha nyumba hii. Pia kuna nafasi kubwa ya ziada ya ujenzi ambayo haijatumika.

Likiwa katika eneo zuri karibu na Prospect Park, Jumba la Makumbusho la Brooklyn na ukanda wa kitamaduni wa Franklin Avenue, makazi haya ya aina yake ni fursa adimu ya kumiliki kazi bora ya kipekee ya usanifu katikati mwa Brooklyn.

A Bespoke Carriage House Reimagined for Modern Living
This former 19th-century carriage house and stable, reimagined by its architect owners, has been masterfully transformed into a 4,000 SF live/work compound, an exceptional fusion of heritage, design, and luxury. Set on a 131-foot-deep lot, the property comprises a 25-foot-wide by 50-foot deep main residence, a two-car garage, and, a 25-foot-wide custom-built guesthouse and spa offering rare scale and privacy just minutes from Prospect Park.

Every detail reflects material artistry: radiant heated wide-plank walnut floors, yellow leaf heart pine beams, reclaimed sequoia, exposed brick, hot-rolled steel, and Venetian plaster all contribute texture and depth. At its center, a sculptural floating staircase, crafted with mortise-and-tenon joinery, suspended between masonry and exposed original studs, anchors a soaring, light-filled interior with three wood-burning fireplaces.

The ground-level entry welcomes you with its striking floating wood screen staircase. Honed concrete floors lead to a rear den featuring a rustic cast-iron wood-burning stove, while large Loewen windows and glass doors open seamlessly to a lush private garden. The open-plan second floor flows around a professional grade chef's kitchen, lined with bespoke walnut cabinetry, is coupled with a wood-fired pizza oven set beneath a pressed-tin ceiling. The upper level features three bedrooms, and two distinctly crafted bathrooms with continuous flooring, inventive hidden slot drains, a vintage American copper tub, and full-height glass panels that create an immersive experience. The expansive garden, lined with reclaimed Belgian block and bluestone, leads to a two-wing guesthouse retreat: one side, a sunlit studio with sliding glass doors that open directly onto the garden; the other, a serene Japanese-inspired spa with hinoki wood soaking tub, steam room, open shower with slate finishes, and radiant-heated floor. Future-forward infrastructure includes zoned HVAC, on-demand hot water, new insulated roof, underground utilities, and a climate-controlled 2,000-bottle capacity wine cellar, with substantial unused FAR for expansion.

Ideally located near Prospect Park, the Brooklyn Museum, and Franklin Avenue's cultural corridor, this one-of-a kind residence is a rare opportunity to own a singular architectural masterpiece in the heart of Brooklyn.
