伍德罗·威尔逊故居经过精心修复,并进行了细致的现代化改造,是普林斯顿最具标志性的西区街区上一座壮观的都铎复兴式建筑。这座屡获殊荣的项目由建筑师罗恩·柏林和巴克斯特建筑公司的建筑大师们共同监理,历时七年,倾注了满腔的爱心。其目标远不止为子孙后代打造一个温馨的家,或一个奢华的娱乐场所。修复抛光木制品和修复无数铅框玻璃窗,也是为了向昔日的工匠致敬。最重要的是,这项耗资巨大的工程拯救了一段无可替代的历史,使其免于被忽视。与蒙蒂塞洛庄园一样,它是美国仅有的两座由美国总统设计和建造的实用住宅之一。威尔逊夫妇于1896年搬进了他们梦想中的家,大门永远向希望与这位德高望重的教授会面并在其宏伟门厅上课的普林斯顿学生敞开。附近的图书馆是一间橡木镶板的房间,位于门厅旁,由现任业主打造,是炉边智者辩论的理想场所。餐厅透过彩色玻璃推拉门,向普林斯顿美丽的校园致敬,其最珍贵的地标建筑手绘在帆布衬砌的墙壁上。毗邻的客厅明亮优雅,顶部是石膏窗饰天花板。新增的几个空间之一是一间温室风格的日光浴室,配有定制木窗、玻璃天花板、落地玻璃门和一个供植物和客人补充水分的吧台。厨房里的新旧橱柜可能难以区分,铜质沥水水槽和正在使用的送菜升降机与双排沃尔夫炉灶和一个可在磨光花岗岩岛台上升降的黄铜锅架相连。毗邻的空间宽敞,可供舒适放松,还可以通往两个露台,露台上设有喷泉和层叠的锦鲤池。门廊改建的办公室位置私密,透过拱形窗户可欣赏壮丽的景色。楼下装修精良的多房间地下室和楼上原先的睡眠门廊都设有休闲休憩空间,可俯瞰威尔逊珍爱的山毛榉树。二楼五间卧室,包括带咖啡吧的主卧套房和通向阳台的地暖大理石浴室,窗边座椅和复古壁炉架是其中几个迷人的装饰元素。三楼设有天窗,最多可容纳三间卧室,感觉就像一间私人公寓,拥有独立的洗衣房、浴室和雪松木步入式衣帽间。房屋内有无数值得欣赏的细节,霍莉·尼尔森于2022年重新设计的花园里还有数不胜数的植物等待您去发现。就连车库也经过了全面修复,令人叹为观止。
Presenting the meticulously restored and sensitively modernized home of Woodrow Wilson, a spectacular Tudor Revival on Princeton’s most iconic Western section block. The award-winning project, overseen by architect Ron Berlin and the master builders of Baxter Construction, was a seven-year labor of love. The goal was much broader than just creating a welcoming home for future generations or a sophisticated venue for lavish entertaining. Reviving the burnished woodwork and repairing countless leaded glass windows also paid homage to the artisans of bygone times and, most importantly, the costly undertaking rescued an irreplaceable piece of history from neglect. Along with Monticello, it is one of only two functional houses in the country to have been designed and built by a US President. The Wilsons moved into their dream home in 1896 and the door was always open for Princeton students who wished to meet with their revered professor and attend class in his grand foyer. The nearby library, an oak-paneled room off the foyer created by the current owners feels like the perfect spot for intellectual fireside debate. The dining room, through stained glass pocket doors, is a tribute to Princeton’s beautiful campus with its most treasured landmarks hand-painted on the canvas-lined walls. Bright and elegant describes the adjoining living room crowned with a plaster tracery ceiling. One of the few added spaces is a greenhouse-inspired sunroom with custom wood windows, glass ceiling, French doors and a bar for keeping both plants and guests hydrated. It can be hard to distinguish between original and new cabinetry in the kitchen, where a copper drainboard sink and working dumbwaiter join a double Wolf range and a brass pot rack that lifts/lowers over a honed granite island. There is plenty of adjoining space for comfortable relaxation, plus access to two patios serenaded by a fountain and a cascading koi pond. A porte cochére-turned-office is positioned for privacy and stunning views through arched windows. Casual space for lounging exists both downstairs in the multi-room finished basement and upstairs in a former sleeping porch overlooking Wilson’s prized beech tree. Window seats and period mantels are some of the charming touches decorating five bedrooms on the second floor, including the primary suite with a coffee bar and a radiant-heated marble bathroom opening to a balcony. The skylit third floor with up to 3 more bedrooms feels like a private apartment with its own laundry, bath, and a cedar walk-in closet. There are countless details to admire within the home and innumerable plantings to discover in the gardens redesigned by Holly Nelson in 2022. Even the garage is a fully restored sight to behold.
