只有两种方法可以妥善设计和尊重一座历史悠久的联排别墅：一种是恢复房屋的历史血统和细节，重现曾经的生活；另一种是完全重新构思空间，使其成为现代城市生活的样子。这座联排别墅就是第二种方式的典范和定义，现代的精致与功能和形式相结合，光线与温暖交融，创造出完美的城市家园。

这座引人注目的四层希腊复兴风格联排别墅位于布满树木的西22街南侧，由安娜贝尔·塞尔多夫和其团队为已故传奇人物芭芭拉·格拉德斯通订购。可以想象，很少有房屋的每一平方英寸都经过深思熟虑并且精心执行。

当你走上恢复过的19世纪台阶进入客厅层时，整个房子像是一座私人画廊，所有建筑细节都显得自然而有目的。穿过恢复的前门，你会立即被一个宁静的画廊般的门廊所欢迎——这是一个有意的暂停时刻，为后面精致的室内设置了基调。高大的玻璃门既是门户也是门槛，让你首次一睹这个家的灵魂。当你走过客厅，气氛微妙地转变——光线扩展，材料柔和，建筑叙述开始展开。

客厅的11英尺高的天花板让人感受到沙龙般的氛围，前面的历史窗户与通向私人阳台的落地窗相得益彰，同时壁炉增添了温暖和存在感。精致的材料和低调的装饰营造出一种既亲密又宏伟的生活和用餐体验，既适合安静的反思时刻，也适合优雅的款待。

有限的装饰和有机材料调色板包括白橡木地板、威尼斯灰泥墙、画廊灯光以及与家中两处壁炉的壁炉相协调的黑色金属楼梯扶手，营造出一种宁静与专注的整体感。

房屋围绕着一座戏剧性的雕塑楼梯组织，楼梯上方有天窗，房屋以其蜿蜒的曲线为中心，连接多个楼层，并提供了与直线结构的对照。南方的阳光倾泻而入，照亮每一个楼层。

向上一层，宁静的主套房配有一面落地窗，窗户为开窗式，通向俯瞰花园的私人阳台。壁炉增添了一丝安静的奢华，而遥控电动窗帘和遮光帘则提供了轻松的舒适感。定制的步入式衣橱兼具功能和优雅。套间浴室被Bardiglio Nuvolato石材包围，地面、墙壁、浴缸和梳妆台都包裹着丰富的色调纹理。地暖、雕塑般的浸泡浴缸以及配有蒸汽的淋浴间完美呼应了这一水疗般的度假风格。此层还包括一个配有Sub-Zero冰箱抽屉和Nero Marquina大理石台面的湿吧。前任业主的私人办公室配有顶级工匠水准的木工，隐藏的电视和书架，以及额外的墙面空间，适合展示艺术作品。

而顶层则通过令人惊叹的中世纪风格的过顶窗户充满光线，窗户位于楼梯顶部的一侧。楼层的一侧设有一个大型全功能家庭健身房，配有洗手间。而另一侧则是一个比例完美的客房套件，配有Duravit和Dornbracht洁具的套间浴室，Kalista浸泡浴缸和大型石材板。

回到花园层，厨房配备有专业级的48英寸Viking炉灶、双Miele墙炉，以及独立的Sub-Zero冰箱和冷冻柜，提供宽敞的冷藏空间。Carrara大理石台面将优雅与耐用性完美融合。一个配有额外水槽和制冰机的隐蔽管家 pantry增强了功能性和流动性，使得接待活动更加顺畅。

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
