走進紐約市最非凡的歷史地標住宅之一。這棟住宅於 1855 年建於傳奇的 Rose & Crown Tavern 舊址，英國將軍威廉・豪曾在此向他的部隊宣讀《獨立宣言》。

這座宏偉的義大利式別墅最初由一位史泰登島民兵指揮官委託建造，設計上與自然景觀和諧相融，遵循亞歷山大・傑克森・戴維斯與安德魯・傑克森・唐寧所倡導的如畫風格；唐寧更是被譽為「美國景觀建築之父」的建築師。後來，這棟住宅歸德國出生的糖果製造商古斯塔夫・梅耶所有。他在這棟房子裡創製的原始香草薄脆餅配方，成為 Nabisco 成功的基礎，使這座住宅融合了美國傳承與歐洲創新。

這是一座真正的建築時光膠囊，至今仍 remarkably 完整地保留原貌；一樓已全面修復至博物館級標準，包括一間雙客廳、三間臥室、兩間廚房、兩間全套衛浴，以及遍布各處的原始手工細節。樓上另有八間房間，並已配置粗略管線，提供超過 2,800 平方英尺、可立即著手修復的空間，以及令人難以置信的創意發揮潛力。

住宅坐落於超過半英畝的土地上，頂端冠以標誌性的圓頂亭，享有拉里坦灣與維拉札諾海峽大橋的壯闊景色。其夢幻般的室內空間曾作為全球頂尖時尚攝影師的拍攝背景，包括史蒂文・梅塞爾與彼得・林德伯格；相關作品也曾刊登於《Vogue》、《Elle》、《Harper’s Bazaar》及《W Magazine》等雜誌。吉賽兒・邦臣、蘿倫・赫頓與瑪麗・凱特・奧爾森等知名偶像都曾在此拍攝，進一步奠定這處房產作為紐約市最具視覺與文化意義住宅之一的聲譽。

這不只是一處房產。

Enter inside one of New York City's most extraordinary landmarked historic homes. Built in 1855 on the grounds of the legendary Rose & Crown Tavern, where British General William Howe once read the Declaration of Independence to his troops. This grand Italianate villa was originally commissioned by a Staten Island militia commander and designed in harmony with the natural landscape, following the picturesque ideals of Alexander Jackson Davis and Andrew Jackson Downing who was the architect known as the ''father of American landscape architecture.'' Later belonging to Gustav Mayer, the German-born confectioner whose original vanilla wafer recipe, which was created in this very home, became the foundation for Nabisco's success, the house blends American legacy with European innovation. A true architectural time capsule, it has remained remarkably untouched, with the first floor fully restored to museum-quality standards, including a double parlor, three bedrooms, two kitchens, two full baths, and original handcrafted details throughout. The upper floors, with eight additional rooms and rough plumbing in place, offer over 2,800 sq ft of restoration-ready space and incredible creative potential. The home sits on over half an acre, crowned by its iconic cupola with sweeping views of Raritan Bay and the Verrazzano Bridge. Its dreamy interiors have served as backdrops for the world's top fashion photographers such as Steven Meisel and Peter Lindbergh, including spreads in Vogue, Elle, Harper's Bazaar, and W Magazine. Notable icons such as Gisele Bündchen, Lauren Hutton, and Mary-Kate Olsen have all been photographed here—further cementing this property's reputation as one of the most visually and culturally significant homes in NYC. This is more than real estate.
