只有兩種方式可以妥善設計和尊重一座歷史悠久的聯排別墅：一是恢復住宅的歷史血統和細節，重現曾經的生活，另一是完全重新想像這個空間，讓它成為現代城市生活的樣貌。這座聯排別墅是第二種的典範和定義，隱秘的現代優雅與功能和形狀交匯在光與暖的氣氛中，創造出完美的城市住宅。

這座位於樹蔭成行的西22街南側的優雅四層希臘復興風格聯排別墅，由安娜貝爾·塞爾多夫及其合夥人為已故的傳奇人物芭芭拉·格拉茨通委託建造。如預期，這裡非常少有每一平方英寸都經過深思熟慮並精心執行的住宅。

從您走上經過修復的19世紀門階進入接待層的瞬間，這棟房屋如私人畫廊般展開，每個建築細節都自然而有目的地存在。穿過修復過的前門，您立刻會被一個寧靜的畫廊式前廊所迎接——這是一個故意的暫停時刻，為精緻的內部空間定下基調。全高的玻璃門既是入口，也是門檻，讓您首次一窺這棟住宅的靈魂。當您穿過接待層時，氣氛微妙地轉變——光線擴展，材料柔和，建築的敘事開始展開。

接待層的高度達到11英尺，擁有如沙龍般的感覺，前方有歷史窗戶，從地板延伸到天花板的窗戶則通往私人陽台，而壁爐則增添了溫暖和存在感。精緻的材料和低調的裝修營造出既親密又宏偉的生活和用餐體驗，既適合安靜的沉思時刻，也適合優雅的款待。

使用包括白橡木地板、威尼斯石膏牆面、畫廊照明及與住宅兩座壁爐的火爐相匹配的黑色金屬樓梯欄杆等有限的完成和有機材料，增強了整體的冷靜和專注感。

圍繞著一個戲劇性的雕塑形樓梯組織而成的住宅——樓梯上方有天窗——住宅由其柔和的曲線所承載，連接各層樓，並提供了對直線結構的反差。南方的陽光穿透空間，照亮每一層樓。

上升一層，寧靜的主套房擁有一面地板到天花板的開窗式玻璃，通往俯瞰花園的私人陽台。壁爐增添了一絲安靜的奢華，而遙控的電動和遮光窗簾則提供輕鬆的舒適感。定制的步入式衣櫃完美地結合了功能性和優雅。套內浴室以巴爾迪吉奧·努沃拉托石包裹，地板、牆面、浴缸周圍和梳妝台皆擁有豐富的音調質感。輻射地暖、雕塑般的浸泡浴缸和配備蒸汽的淋浴房完美詮釋這個如水療般的休憩空間。這一層還包括一個設有副零食冰箱和黑色瑪琨大理石台面的濕吧。前屋主的私人辦公室擁有工匠級的木工，隱藏的電視和書櫃，以及額外的牆面空間，非常適合展示藝術作品。

而頂層則透過位於樓梯上方的不可思議的跨窗式中世紀風格窗戶，光線滲入。樓層一側是設有化妝間的大型全配住宅健身房，另一側是完美大小的客房套房，配有設有Duravit和Dornbracht設備的套內浴室、Kalista浸泡浴缸和大型石板。

在花園層，廚房配有專業級48寸維京爐具、雙Miele嵌入式爐具以及分開的Sub-Zero冰箱和冷凍櫃，以提供寬敞的冷藏空間。卡拉拉大理石檯面則提供了永恆的優雅與耐用的完美融合。隱蔽的管家儲藏室配有額外的洗手槽及製冰機，進一步增強功能性與流暢性，使得娛樂活動變得更加方便。

There are only two ways to properly design and honor a historic townhouse: one is to restore the historical pedigree and details of the home and recreate a life that once was, and the other is to completely reimagine the space and make it into what city living is today in the modern age. This townhouse is the epitome and definition of the second, where discrete modern sophistication along with function and form meet light and warmth to create the perfect city home.

Situated on the south side of tree lined West 22nd street this handsome 4-story Greek Revival Townhome was commissioned by Annabelle Selldorf and Associates for the late and legendary Barbara Gladstone. As expected there are very few homes where every square inch has been thought through and then meticulously executed.

From the moment you enter the parlor level after ascending the restored 19th-century stoop, the home unfolds like a private gallery, where every architectural detail feels naturally purposeful. Upon entering through the restored front doors, you’re immediately welcomed by a serene, gallery-like vestibule—an intentional moment of pause that sets the tone for the refined interiors beyond. A full-height glass door serves as both portal and threshold, offering a first glimpse into the soul of the home. As you move through the parlor, the atmosphere subtly shifts—light expands, materials soften, and the architectural narrative begins to unfold.

With 11-foot ceilings, the parlor has a salon-like feel with historic windows at the front of the house and floor-to-ceiling windows open to the private balcony while a fireplace adds warmth and presence. Refined materials and understated finishes create a living and dining experience that feels both intimate and grand, equally suited to quiet introspective moments or elegant entertaining.

A limited palette of finished and organic materials including white oak flooring, Venetian plaster walls, gallery lighting, and a blackened metal stair rail that matches the hearths of the home’s two fireplaces and contributes to a general sense of calm and focus.

Organized around a dramatic, sculptural staircase—skylit from above—the home is anchored by its sinuous curvature, which links the floors together and offers a counterpoint to the rectilinear structure. Southern light cascades through the space, illuminating every level.

Ascending a level, the serene primary suite features a wall of floor-to-ceiling casement-style glass that opens to a private balcony overlooking the garden. A fireplace adds an element of quiet luxury, while remote-controlled electric and blackout shades provide effortless comfort. A custom walk-in closet blends both functionality and elegance. The en-suite bath is enveloped in Bardiglio Nuvolato stone, wrapping the floors, walls, tub surround, and vanity in rich, tonal texture. Radiant heated floors, a sculptural soaking tub, and a steam-equipped shower room complete this spa-like retreat. This level also includes a wet bar with Sub-Zero refrigerator drawers and Nero Marquina marble counters. The former owner’s private office with master craftsman level millwork, a hidden television and bookcases as well as additional wall space ideal for displaying art.

The top floor meanwhile is flooded with light through an incredible transom-like midcentury-style windows above the top of the staircase. On one side of the floor is a large, fully equipped home gym with a powder room. On the other side is a perfectly sized guest suite featuring en-suite bath with Duravit and Dornbracht fixtures, a Kalista soaking tub and large stone slabs.

Back on the garden level, the kitchen features a professional-grade 48” Viking range, twin Miele wall ovens, and separate Sub-Zero refrigerator and freezer units for generous cold storage. Carrara marble countertops offer a timeless blend of elegance and durability. A discreet butler’s pantry with an additional sink and ice maker enhances both function and flow, making enter
