Juliet's Pergola

Juliet's Pergola: New York

A three-floor Brownstone, two blocks from Central Park, with your very own private terrace...need we say more? Families or groups of friends can truly sprawl out and unwind in this meticulously decorated home, but we have a feeling you'll want to spend more time on the beautiful, private pergola instead. While you're not bang in the centre of the city's busiest neighbourhoods, this townhouse is on a quiet street, just a short walk away from the park, boutique shops and cafes.

Home truths:
* As seen from the photographs, one of the bedrooms is meant for children

* On the Juliet balcony, there is a dining table, but only accommodates four guests

* The sinks in the master bathroom don't have much counter space

* This townhouse spans three floors, and without a lift may be a lot of climbing for elderly guests
