Property Description

A Masterpiece of Light and Silence: 1900 Victorian Reimagined. This is not just a house; it is a meticulously contemplated space designed to fulfill the deepest fantasies of the soul. Originally built in 1900, this classic three-story Victorian residence underwent a profound transformation in the 1980s under the visionary direction of a Professor of Architecture. The result is an introverted, minimalist sanctuary that harmonizes historical grandeur with modern simplicity. The Dance of Light At the heart of the home lies a breathtaking two-story Loft. As the sun begins its descent, the space is flooded with golden, warm hues, seamlessly bringing the outdoors in. The shimmering sunlight creates a rhythmic vitality throughout the room, turning the interior into a living canvas of light and shadow. The Cloud Room: A Sanctuary of Silence In stark contrast to the sun-drenched loft, tucked between the kitchen and the dining area, lies "The Cloud Room." This windowless, secret chamber offers total tranquility. With its built-in bookshelves and private bar, it serves as a quiet retreat for contemplation, reading, or an evening glass of wine. An Urban Oasis The garden and courtyard have been designed with a philosophy of "Sui Yuan" (ease and serenity), creating an extraordinarily quiet atmosphere in the heart of the bustling city. It is a rare urban hideaway that invites you to linger and never want to leave. Key Features: Designed by a distinguished Professor of Architecture. Dramatic two-story Loft with exceptional western exposure. The "Cloud Room": A unique, windowless library and bar. Serene private courtyard and minimalist landscaping. A thoughtful blend of 1900 Victorian character and 1980s minimalism.
