芭芭拉·雅各布森聯排別墅——上東城的一顆寬20英尺建築瑰寶

位於東74街167號的這座上東城住宅令人矚目，寬20英尺，共五層樓，內部空間超過6,000平方英尺。它以戲劇性的建築體量、明亮的室內設計和俯瞰私人花園的壯觀雙層高客廳而著稱，為曼哈頓聯排別墅帶來一種少見的空間、光線和建築存在感。這是一個藝術、建築和家族歷史的稀有結合。此住宅由標誌性品味商芭芭拉·雅各布森於1965年購得，並成為她的主要居所近六十年，演變為紐約最具潛在影響力的私人文化室內環境之一。

該房屋最初建於1910年，並在1956年由建築師約翰·金斯蘭擴建，長期吸引著創造性生命。近十年來，它是傳奇電影製作人伊利亞·卡山的家，他在此期間執導了包括《伊甸園之東》和《草原光輝》等經典電影。在那些年中，詹姆斯·迪恩、娜塔莉·伍德、沃倫·比蒂、馬龍·白蘭度和費雯·莉等知名人士曾出訪此地。後來，在雅各布森的管理下，該房屋繼續作為藝術和文學界的非正式沙龍，迎來了包括賈斯培·琼斯、羅伯特·勞森伯格、安迪·沃荷、賽·托姆布雷、菲利普·羅斯和翁貝托·埃可在內的大師。

位於東74街的該住宅因其獨特的紅漆門和由雕塑家珍·坎菲爾德創作的銅松鼠雕塑而立即被識別為"松鼠之家"之鄰里暱稱。這些富於童趣的雕像是在水下探險家和百貨公司繼承人彼得·金博爾擁有期間安裝的，迅速吸引了幾代鄰里孩子的想像。

室內空間舒展著一股宏偉和建築戲劇感。由藝術家彼得·哈雷設計的三拱入口大廳和定製壁紙引向一個溫暖宜人的小間，小間中的壁爐俯瞰著壯觀的雙層高客廳——這是一次難以忘懷的第一印象，真正讓人驚嘆不已。

客廳的天花板高約19英尺，展示了私人住宅中罕見的非凡建築體量。在上方天窗的自然光照下，由高聳的磚牆框定，該房間具備私人畫廊的規模和氣勢。落地窗俯瞰著寧靜的350平方英尺花園，為戲劇性的室內和戶外空間創造了引人注目的視覺聯繫。

該房間是藝術收藏家的理想之家，也是娛樂活動的卓越之地。賓客以令人難忘的方式抵達，沿著優雅的曲線樓梯緩緩而下步入客廳，營造出一個戲劇性且難忘的入口。該空間輕鬆容納大規模的藝術作品，同時保持溫馨宜人的感覺，適合親密和盛大的聚會。客廳旁是一個大型餐區，通往廚房。

自然光從兩側灑入房屋。朝南的房間明亮愉悅，能在整日捕捉陽光，而北向房間則享有柔和均勻的光線，並有樹梢和開闊天空的視野，營造出寧靜宜人的氛圍。整個房屋的其餘部分，天花板高度依然寬敞，主樓層約10英尺，而頂層為9.2英尺，使得五層樓的內飾擁有開闊感和經典聯排比例。總的來說，該住宅提供超過八間臥室、六個半浴室和多種可能配置，讓未來的擁有者在保存其非凡特性的同時，可以根據各種生活方式進行調整。

The Barbara Jakobson Townhouse - A 20-Foot-Wide Architectural Gem on the Upper East Side

167 East 74th Street is a remarkable 20-foot-wide, five-story Upper East Side residence encompassing over 6,000 square feet of interior space. Distinguished by dramatic architectural volume, luminous interiors, and a spectacular double-height living room overlooking a private garden, the home offers a rare combination of scale, light, and architectural presence seldom found in Manhattan townhouses. A rare convergence of art, architecture, and family history, the residence was acquired by iconic tastemaker Barbara Jakobson in 1965 and remained her primary home for nearly six decades, evolving into one of New York's most quietly influential private cultural interiors.

Originally constructed in 1910 and expanded in 1956 by architect John Kingsland, the house has long attracted creative life. For nearly a decade it was home to legendary filmmaker Elia Kazan, who lived here while directing cinematic classics including East of Eden and Splendor in the Grass. During those years, figures such as James Dean, Natalie Wood, Warren Beatty, Marlon Brando, and Vivien Leigh were among the notable visitors who passed through its doors. Later, under Jakobson's stewardship, the house continued to serve as an informal salon for the art and literary worlds, welcoming luminaries including Jasper Johns, Robert Rauschenberg, Andy Warhol, Cy Twombly, Philip Roth, and Umberto Eco.

On East 74th Street, the home is immediately recognizable by its distinctive red lacquer doors and the beloved bronze squirrel sculptures created by sculptor Jane Canfield-a charming detail that has long earned the property the neighborhood nickname "The Squirrel House." Installed during the ownership of underwater explorer and department-store heir Peter Gimbel, the whimsical figures quickly captured the imagination of generations of neighborhood children.

Inside, the house unfolds with a sense of grandeur and architectural theatre. A dramatic entry hall with triple arches and custom wallpaper designed by artist Peter Halley leads to a warm and inviting den with fireplace overlooking the spectacular double-height living room-an unforgettable first impression that is truly a "wow moment".

With ceilings rising approximately 19 feet, the living room reveals an extraordinary architectural volume rarely encountered in private homes. Bathed in natural light from a skylight above and framed by soaring brick walls, the room possesses the scale and presence of a private gallery. Floor-to-ceiling windows overlook the tranquil 350-square-foot garden, creating a striking visual connection between the dramatic interior and outdoor spaces.

The room is an art collector's dream and an exceptional setting for entertaining. Guests arrive in unforgettable fashion, descending the graceful curved staircase that sweeps elegantly into the living room, creating a theatrical and memorable entrance. The space effortlessly accommodates large-scale works of art while remaining warm and inviting for gatherings both intimate and grand. Off the living room is a large dining area which leads to the kitchen.

Natural light fills the home from both exposures. South-facing rooms are bright and cheerful, capturing sunlight throughout the day, while north-facing rooms enjoy soft, even light with views of treetops and open sky, creating a serene and welcoming atmosphere. Throughout the remainder of the home, ceiling heights remain generous, with approximately 10-foot ceilings on the principal floors and 9.2-foot ceilings on the top level, lending the interiors a sense of openness and classic townhouse proportion across all five stories. In total, the residence offers over eight bedrooms, six and a half bathrooms, and multiple possible configurations, allowing future owners to adapt the home to a wide range of lifestyles while preserving its remarkable character.
