芭芭拉·雅各布森联排别墅 - 上东区的一块20英尺宽的建筑瑰宝

位于东74街167号的这座令人瞩目的20英尺宽、五层楼的上东区住宅，拥有超过6,000平方英尺的内部空间。因其引人注目的建筑体量、光亮的内部空间以及俯瞰私人花园的壮观双层客厅而与众不同，这座房子提供了在曼哈顿的联排别墅中难得一见的规模、光线和建筑存在感的稀有组合。这座住宅是艺术、建筑和家庭历史的罕见交汇点，在1965年由标志性品味引领者芭芭拉·雅各布森购得，并成为她近六十年来的主要住处，逐渐演变为纽约最为低调而有影响力的私人文化内部空间之一。

这座房子最初建于1910年，并由建筑师约翰·金斯兰于1956年扩建，长期以来吸引了创造性的生活。传奇电影导演艾利亚·卡赞在这里居住近十年，期间他在此指导了包括《伊甸园之东》和《草地的光辉》等经典影片。在那些年里，詹姆斯·迪恩、纳塔莉·伍德、沃伦·比蒂、马龙·白兰度和费雯·丽等人物是曾经造访过这里的著名访客。在雅各布森的管理下，这座房子持续作为艺术和文学界的非正式沙龙，迎接了包括贾斯珀·琼斯、罗伯特·劳森伯格、安迪·沃霍尔、赛·托姆布雷、菲利普·罗斯和翁贝托·埃科在内的各界名流。

在东74街上，这座房子以其独特的红色漆门和雕塑家简·坎菲尔德创作的心爱青铜松鼠雕塑而立刻被认出 - 这一迷人的细节长期以来使这处房产赢得了“松鼠之家”的社区昵称。这些异想天开的雕塑是在水下探险家和百货店继承人彼得·金贝尔所有期间安装的，迅速捕获了几代社区儿童的想象力。

室内，这座房子以一种宏伟和建筑戏剧感展现在人们面前。一个拥有三重拱形结构和由艺术家彼得·哈利设计的定制壁纸的戏剧性入口大厅通向带壁炉的温馨起居室，俯瞰壮观的双层客厅，这是一个真正令人难忘的第一印象。

客厅天花板高约19英尺，展示了极为罕见的建筑体量。自然光通过上方的天窗倾洒下来，并由高耸的砖墙框定，整个房间拥有私密画廊的规模和存在感。落地窗俯瞰宁静的350平方英尺花园，在戏剧性的室内外空间之间创造出显著的视觉连接。

这是艺术收藏家的梦想之地，也是招待宾客的绝佳场所。客人们以难忘的方式到达，沿着优雅曲线的楼梯缓缓步入客厅，创造出剧院般和令人难忘的入口。这个空间可轻松容纳大型艺术作品，同时在亲密和宏大的聚会上保持温馨和诱人的氛围。客厅外是一个大的餐厅区域，通往厨房。

自然光从两面照进家中。朝南的房间明亮而愉悦，整天充满阳光，而朝北的房间则享有柔和、均匀的光线，并拥有树梢和开阔天空的视野，营造出宁静和温暖的氛围。在家中其余部分，层高保持宽敞，主楼层大约10英尺高，而顶层约9.2英尺高，赋予内部一种敞开和经典联排别墅的比例感，贯穿五层。总体而言，这座住宅提供了超过八间卧室、六个半浴室和多种可能的配置，允许未来的业主在保留其卓越特点的同时，将家居适应多种生活方式。

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.
