Description

Located in a boutique condominium on a cobblestone street in West Tribeca, 16 Desbrosses, 1N is an unusual and one-of-a-kind, 1,294-square-foot commercial studio and garage with lobby access from Desbrosses and curb cut garage access from Watts Street. A converted loading dock in an original textile warehouse, the space is currently used as a light-filled photography studio, garage and bathroom. With a secondary address of 121 Watts Street, this studio has a grandfathered curb cut. Designed by Architecture Research Office, this flexible and dramatic studio space features poured concrete floors, 16-foot ceilings and beautiful finishes. Accessible from both Desbrosses Street and Watts Street, this space features a private, automated, 13-foot glass garage door which faces north onto Watts Street. With clear glass construction on upper panes and sandblasted glass on lower panes for privacy, the garage door provides a wall of light for the interior space. The property has a powerful two-zone HVAC system, radiators and forced air heating; AV system with in-ceiling speakers throughout; alarm system with motion detectors; and glass break sensors. There is also 50 running feet of worktop, constructed with 2.5-inch thick Douglas Fir planks. There is additional floor-to-ceiling custom maple cabinetry in the large bathroom as well as Duravit and Kohler finishes.

Tribeca (the Triangle Below Canal) is synonymous with ultra-luxury and understated elegance. Once an industrial district, it is now home to some of the city's most expensive and sought-after real estate. The neighborhood is defined by its massive cast-iron loft buildings, cobblestone streets, and nearby public schools. Residents enjoy a discreet lifestyle in expansive lofts or in world-class new developments designed by 'starchitects' along the Hudson River waterfront.
