55 西第九街是一棟建於1840年的22英尺寬的聯排別墅，位於歷史悠久的西村心臟地帶，坐落於一條迷人的樹蔭街道上，卻又緊鄰所有設施。

這棟四層高的建築（以及一個完工的地下室），外觀以褐砂岩裝飾，典雅而內斂，其立面由建築師讓-加布里埃爾·諾科姆精心修復。原有的檐口和重新指縫的磚牆仍然保留，而其他一切——從門廊到窗框——則由大師工匠精確重新創建。房子的每一個系統都已現代化和升級，包括中央空調、音響和安全系統。

立面的真實性啟發了室內設計，創造了古典與現代的融合：法國奢華與紐約時尚在路易十六風格的壁爐、定制的大理石壁爐框、受藝術新古典主義啟發的裝飾、全屋高挑的天花板以及懷念奧斯曼巴黎的斜紋橡木地板等細節中交匯融合。基於藝術新古典主義設計的宏偉樓梯和裝飾，為室內空間增添了靜謐的宏偉感。

在起居層，這個家的宏偉比例顯而易見。客廳既莊重又溫馨。高挑的天花板、寬大的窗戶，以及經過精心研究的藝術新古典風格裝飾，賦予空間一種永恆的氛圍，而斜紋橡木地板則增添了溫暖和質感。

與客廳相鄰的是帶有迷人露台的書房，可俯瞰樓下的園景。書房和客廳流暢地連接起來，形成一個非常寬敞的娛樂空間，或者是兩個更私密的空間。書房美麗的燃木壁爐配有精美雕刻的路易十六風格壁爐架，為房間增添了一種莊嚴感。書房旁邊是另一個迷人的閱讀室，通向露台。

頂層完全保留給奢華的主套房，設計為私密的休憩之地。天窗照亮的大理石浴室，靈感來自於保羅·杜普雷-拉豐的精緻室內，是一個建築中心點。臥室內有一個可用的燃氣壁爐和一個可愛的休息區。還有兩個非常大、裝修精美的衣櫥。

除了頂層的主套房，這棟聯排別墅還提供兩間大型次臥室以及兩間較小的臥室，位於第三層。這些房間面積寬敞，充滿自然光，如今裝飾精美，但也允許使用上的靈活性。目前這層有一個大型浴室，但可以輕鬆增加另一個。

在花園層有一間額外的可愛臥室，配有全套浴室、一個洗手間和一個設計精美的廚師式餐廚。廚房的一側是一面引人注目的30英尺高的全高櫃櫥/隱藏式儲物牆，讓對面的牆面覆蓋著連續的卡拉卡塔金大理石，保持著令人驚艷的無縫感。效果寧靜而富有雕塑感：這是一個不僅具備良好功能的廚房，而且更像是一個建築聲明。廚房中央的拉坎什爐具吸引眾人目光。這款在法國勃艮第手工製作的爐具，覆蓋著琺瑯和不鏽鋼，功能專業，卻又帶有永恆的存在感。廚房中央是一個大型農舍餐桌，旁邊是位於花園端的家庭房休息區。

完工的地下室與房子的其他部分一樣優雅，擁有出色的洗衣區以及廣泛的儲藏空間。

除了室內，米蘭達·布魯克斯還設計了一個雙層花園。用唐納德·賈德風格的桌椅裝飾的用餐露台，讓人感受到獨特的氛圍，而抬高的後部則回想起皇家宮殿的花園，其中有盒樹柱、白色碎石、編織的榛子圍欄以及每年春天盛開粉紅色花朵的修剪榉樹。

55 西第九街提供了一種幾乎無法找到的施工細節和品質。它既時尚有趣又酷炫，同時又充滿活力、陽光和實用性。地點和房子都是完美的。

55 West Ninth Street, a 22 feet wide townhouse built in 1840, is located in the heart of the historic West Village on a charming tree lined street but close to absolutely everything.

Four-stories tall (with a finished basement in addition) and trimmed in brownstone with classical restraint, its façade was meticulously restored by architect Jean-Gabriel Neukomm. The original cornice and repointed bricks remain, while everything else—from the stoop to the window surrounds—was recreated with precision by master craftsmen. Every system in the house has been modernized and upgraded, including central AC, sound and security systems.

That authenticity of the facade inspired the interior architecture, resulting in classical and modern design: French luxury meets New York chic in details such as a Louis XVI fireplace, bespoke marble mantels, beaux-arts–inspired moldings, high ceilings throughout and chevron-laid oak floors reminiscent of Haussmann’s Paris. The sweeping staircase and moldings, based on Beaux Arts design, anchor the interiors with quiet grandeur.

At the parlor level, the home’s grand proportions are evident. The living room is both stately and inviting. High ceilings, generous windows, and meticulously researched beaux-arts moldings give the space a timeless athmopshere, while chevron-laid oak floors contribute warmth and texture.

Adjacent to the living room is the library with a charming terrace overlooking the landscaped garden below. The library and living room flow gracefully allowing for the feeling of a very large entertaining space, or two more intimate spaces. The library's beautiful wood-burning fireplace with a finely carved Louis XVI mantel gives the room a sense of gravitas. Just off the library is a charming reading room which opens to the terrace.

The top floor is reserved entirely for the luxurious primary suite, conceived as a private retreat. The skylit marble bathroom, inspired by Paul Dupré-Lafon’s refined interiors, is an architectural centerpiece. The bedroom has a working gas fireplace and a lovely sitting area. There are two very large, beautifully fitted out closets.

In addition to the top-floor primary suite, the townhouse offers two large secondary bedrooms as well as two smaller bedrooms on the 3rd floor. Generously scaled and filled with natural light, these rooms are beautifully decorated now, but also allow for flexibility of use. Currently there is one large bathroom on this floor, but another can easily be added.

On the garden level is an additional lovely bedroom with a full bath, a powder room and an impressively designed chef's eat-in kitchen. One side of the kitchen is anchored by a dramatic, 30-foot wall of full-height cabinetry/concealed storage that allows the opposite wall, clad in a continuous sweep of Calacatta gold marble, to remain strikingly unbroken. The effect is serene and sculptural: a kitchen that feels less like an architectural statement but also functions well. At its center, the Lacanche range commands attention. Handcrafted in Burgundy and clad in enamel and stainless steel, it offers professional-grade function with a presence that feels timeless. A large farmhouse table is the center of the kitchen with a family room sitting area at the garden end of the room.

The finished basement is as nice as the rest of the house and has a wonderful laundry as well as extensive storage.

Beyond the interior, Miranda Brooks has designed a two-tiered garden. The dining terrace opens with a Donald Judd–inspired table and chairs, while the raised rear recalls the gardens of the Palais Royal, complete with boxwood columns, white gravel, woven hazel fencing, and pleached Judas trees that burst into pink bloom each spring.

55 West 9th provides a level of detail and quality in construction that is next to impossible to find. It is chic and fun and cool while also being cheerful and sunny and practical. The location and the house are perfection.
