芭芭拉·雅各布森联排别墅——上东区一座宽20英尺的建筑瑰宝

东74街167号是一座非凡的上东区住宅，宽20英尺，共五层，室内面积超过6,000平方英尺。住宅以戏剧性的建筑空间、充满光线的室内环境，以及俯瞰私人花园的壮观挑高两层客厅而著称，呈现出曼哈顿联排别墅中极为罕见的尺度感、采光与建筑气势。这里是艺术、建筑与家族历史难得的交汇之所。1965年，具有传奇品位的文化名人芭芭拉·雅各布森购入这座住宅，并将其作为主要居所近六十年，使其逐渐成为纽约最具影响力、却始终低调隐秘的私人文化空间之一。

这座住宅最初建于1910年，1956年由建筑师约翰·金斯兰扩建，长期以来一直吸引着充满创造力的人们。近十年间，传奇电影导演伊利亚·卡赞曾居住于此，并在此期间执导了包括《伊甸之东》和《草地上的辉煌》在内的电影经典。那段岁月里，詹姆斯·迪恩、娜塔莉·伍德、沃伦·比蒂、马龙·白兰度和费雯·丽等众多知名人物都曾登门造访。后来，在雅各布森的悉心经营下，这座住宅继续作为艺术界与文学界的非正式沙龙，迎来贾斯珀·约翰斯、罗伯特·劳申伯格、安迪·沃霍尔、西·托姆布雷、菲利普·罗斯和翁贝托·埃科等文化名流。

这座住宅坐落于东74街，凭借独具特色的红色漆面大门，以及雕塑家简·坎菲尔德创作、深受喜爱的青铜松鼠雕塑，令人一眼便能认出。这一迷人的细节也让它长期拥有“松鼠屋”这一街区昵称。这些俏皮的雕塑是在水下探险家兼百货公司继承人彼得·金贝尔拥有该宅期间安装的，很快便引发了几代街区儿童的兴趣与想象。

步入室内，住宅以恢弘的尺度与戏剧性的建筑表达徐徐展开。入口大厅设有三重拱门，以及由艺术家彼得·哈利设计的定制壁纸，通向一间温暖而 inviting 的带壁炉书房。书房俯瞰壮观的挑高两层客厅，构成令人难忘的第一印象，真正营造出令人惊叹的“哇”时刻。

客厅层高约19英尺，展现出私人住宅中极为罕见的非凡建筑空间。天窗洒下自然光，拔地而起的砖墙环抱四周，使整个空间拥有私人画廊般的尺度与气势。落地窗俯瞰宁静的350平方英尺花园，在戏剧性的室内空间与户外环境之间建立起鲜明而动人的视觉联系。

这里是艺术收藏家的梦想之所，也是举办活动的非凡场地。宾客沿着优雅的弧形楼梯缓缓下行，楼梯优美地延伸至客厅之中，以令人难忘的戏剧性方式入场。空间既能从容容纳大型艺术作品，又适合举办温馨私密或规模宏大的聚会。客厅一侧设有宽敞的餐区，并通往厨房。

住宅两面朝向均能获得充足的自然光。朝南的房间明亮而愉悦，全天捕捉阳光；朝北的房间则享有柔和均匀的光线，并可眺望树梢与开阔天空，营造出宁静而 welcoming 的氛围。住宅其余部分同样保持宽敞的层高：主要楼层约10英尺，顶层约9.2英尺，使这座五层住宅的室内始终拥有开阔感与经典联排别墅的协调比例。住宅总计设有八间以上卧室、六间半浴室，并提供多种可能的空间布局，让未来的业主能够根据多样化的生活方式灵活改造，同时保留其非凡的独特气质。

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.
