Questão 34 (CFS 1) da EEAR 2018

In 2008, the photographer and film director Francesco Carrozzini bought a townhouse in Greenwich Village for $6.8 million. Ostensibly, he got a home built in 1844 with low ceilings and small dark rooms. But luxury real estate is never about the basics.

The house is part of the Macdougal-Sullivan Gardens Historic District a landmarked community of 21 row homes. Between them is a large interior courtyard shaded by maples, sycamores and palms. It’s a secret garden in the middle of the city, hidden from the street. Each home comes with its own small backyard that borders on the larger common area shared by all.
