芭芭拉・雅各布森聯排住宅——上東區一棟寬達20英尺的建築瑰寶

東74街167號是一棟令人稱奇的上東區住宅，寬達20英尺，共五層，室內面積超過6,000平方英尺。住宅以戲劇性的建築尺度、明亮通透的室內空間，以及俯瞰私人花園、挑高兩層的壯麗客廳而聞名，呈現出在曼哈頓聯排住宅中極為罕見的尺度、光線與建築氣勢。這座住宅罕見地融合了藝術、建築與家族歷史：1965年由舉足輕重的品味先驅芭芭拉・雅各布森購得，並在近六十年間一直作為她的主要住所，逐漸成為紐約最具低調影響力的私人文化空間之一。

這棟住宅最初建於1910年，並於1956年由建築師約翰・金斯蘭擴建，長久以來一直吸引各界創意人士。近十年間，這裡曾是傳奇電影導演伊利亞・卡山的住所；他居住於此期間，執導了《伊甸園之東》與《草地上的華麗》等影史經典。在那段歲月裡，詹姆斯・狄恩、娜塔莉・伍德、華倫・比提、馬龍・白蘭度與費雯・麗等名人都曾造訪此宅。後來，在雅各布森的悉心經營下，這棟住宅持續作為藝術與文學界的非正式沙龍，迎來包括賈斯培・瓊斯、羅伯特・勞森伯格、安迪・沃荷、塞・湯布利、菲利普・羅斯與翁貝托・艾可在內的眾多文化名人。

住宅位於東74街，醒目的紅色漆面大門，以及由雕塑家珍・坎菲爾德創作、深受喜愛的青銅松鼠雕塑，使其一眼便能辨認——這項迷人的細節也讓這處房產長久以來獲得鄰里間「松鼠屋」的暱稱。這些俏皮的雕像是在水下探險家兼百貨世家繼承人彼得・金博爾擁有此宅期間安裝的，很快便擄獲了鄰里一代又一代孩子的想像力。

步入室內，整座住宅以宏偉氣勢與戲劇性的建築空間層層展開。入口大廳設有三重拱門，以及由藝術家彼得・哈利設計的訂製壁紙，通往一間溫暖而 inviting 的書房，房內設有壁爐，並俯瞰壯麗的挑高兩層客廳——這是令人難以忘懷的第一印象，真正締造出一個「哇」的時刻。

客廳天花板高約19英尺，展現出私人住宅中極為罕見的非凡建築尺度。自然光由上方天窗灑入，四周則由高聳的磚牆框映，使這個空間擁有私人畫廊般的規模與氣勢。落地窗俯瞰寧靜、面積達350平方英尺的花園，在戲劇性的室內空間與戶外景致之間建立起醒目的視覺連結。

這裡是藝術收藏家的夢想空間，也是招待賓客的非凡場所。客人沿著優雅的弧形樓梯下行，樓梯以流暢曲線華麗地延伸至客廳，營造出戲劇化且令人難忘的入場方式。空間既能從容容納大型藝術作品，也能在親密聚會與盛大宴會中維持溫暖宜人的氛圍。客廳旁設有寬敞的用餐區，並通往廚房。

住宅兩側皆設有採光面，室內充滿自然光。朝南的房間明亮愉悅，全天捕捉陽光；朝北的房間則享有柔和均勻的光線，並可眺望樹梢與開闊天空，營造出寧靜而舒適的氛圍。住宅其餘空間的樓高同樣寬裕：主要樓層約10英尺高，頂層約9.2英尺高，讓五層樓的室內始終保有開闊感與經典聯排住宅的勻稱比例。整座住宅共提供超過八間臥室、六間半浴室，以及多種可能的空間配置，讓未來屋主能依照各種生活方式靈活調整，同時保留其非凡的獨特魅力。

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.
