W. H. Cornell House, souvan rele "Wedding Cake House" akoz dekorasyon gingembre li yo ki gen koub alontan, te bati pou W. H. Cornell an 1865. Bati an bwa, li gen yon fondasyon an mi ak fenèt aliminyòm fèrte inik sou devan an, ki ofri yon bèl vi nan Gerry Park ak pond ki atravè lari a.

Fè yon ti rakonte nan tan an nan bèl kay Gothic Revival sa a kote karaktè istorik rankontre konfor modèn nan yon bon harmonie. Sa a se yon rezidans 3/4-chambres, 2-bain, ki renove avèk gwo refleksyon sou 1/4 ak, ak prezante yon sousi klasik ak bwa ak batten pandan li ofri konvenyans jodi a sou 2100 pye kare espas vivan.

Renovasyon konplè resan (2025) la pote yon nouvo enèji nan chak kwen, ki gen ladan yon nouvo tèt, planche mete ajou, lajè syèl, lè centrèl, miray fre fini, yon nouvo kwizin etonan ki balanse cham peryodik ak fonksyonalite kontanporèn, ak twalèt ki etonan -- paske pandan ke istwa a se inik, plonbaj modèn se menm pi bon! Yon chanm sou premye etaj la ap ofri aksè fasil ak yon sousol ki fèt bay plis espas pou aktivite rekreyatif oswa lwazi. Sepandan, pou tout modènizasyon sa yo, ou pral toujou fè fas ak plafon an bwa rich an karaktè, fenèt vitraje ak fenèt ak pyè ki gen desen, ak yon separasyon an arched ki gen fòm ant lakou a ak salle a manje, tout sa yo se remanans istwa tan pase yo. Jaden dèyè a, ki jenere ak prive, kreye yon retrè ideyal pou resevwa oswa pou jwi moman trankil.

Sitiye nan Distri Istorik Roslyn, pwopriyete a ofri pi bon bagay nan tout mond yo -- viv suburban trankil ak aksè iben. Estasyon tren Long Island Railroad la tou pre, ki fè vwayaj la ale New York City fasil ak efikas. Koleksyon restoran gourmet (yon kote George Washington te di li te manje dejene) ak boutik distenk nan Roslyn Village yo nan distans pou mache. Sepandan, kònen bijou ki sitiyasyon pwopriyete sa a se pwoksimite li ak Gerry Park ki gen pon li yo pitoresk, gazeb, ban ak Bibliyotèk Bryant -- tout sa yo jis atravè lari a. Anplis, distri lekòl Roslyn ki se renome se konnen pou estanda edikasyon siperyè li yo.

Kombinasyon ra sa a nan élégance istorik, modènizasyon, bèlte natirèl ak konvenyans transpò kreye yon opòtinite eksepsyonèl pou achtè ki gen bon gou ki ap chèche yon kay distenge ki ofri tout sa -- yon rezidans vrèman espesyal ki ap tann pwochen chapit li.
