Description
Tribeca’s Secret Compound A filmmakers and architect’s impossible Manhattan estate Where history, architecture, and imagination meet. Tucked on Tribeca’s most iconic block, this is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own a magical piece of NYC history. Something that doesn’t exist anywhere: a private compound comprised of a townhouse, private parking, and a 2500sf creative space. Staple Street’s narrow sidewalks, iron details, and brick façades absorb the city’s energy and reflect it back more quietly: distinctly Tribeca. A Rare Urban Compound Built in 1868, the 2-story brick townhouse at 4 Staple Street was a cast-iron storefront and workshop then reborn as a single-family home designed by award-winning architect Diana Kellogg that beautifully blends industrial authenticity with modern refinement. The idea of a “family compound” is unheard of in Manhattan. -a 40-foot-wide, 4,100 sf townhouse w/ potentially available air rights of 3 additional stories (˜3,000 sf) -Private gated parking space for 2-3 cars (w/ electric power) -2,500 sf of studio, office, wine cellar, and storage space at 1 Jay Street across the street Together, they form something truly singular: a self-contained urban estate. The Street: A Scene Out of Another Era Staple Street is only two blocks long, quiet and impossibly cinematic. The cast-iron skybridge that spans it has become the most photographed architectural feature in Tribeca. Staple Street is a living gallery; the quiet lane has hosted everything from impromptu performances to Banksy’s first New York piece. The Residence Inside, the home radiates romance and industrial beauty: soaring brick-vaulted ceilings, original chestnut beams, exposed brick, and oversized windows flooding each level with natural light. -Main Floor: 13' ceilings, open living/dining anchored by a wood-burning fireplace, built-ins, and a chef’s kitchen with custom cabinets made from reclaimed Coney Island lockers. A windowed nook offers space for breakfast, reading, or work. -Primary Level: 11' ceilings, a tranquil sitting area leading to the primary suite with vaulted ceilings, walk-in closet, and ensuite bath featuring a marble sink from the original Ritz-Carlton Hotel. A flexible secondary room and second full bath complete the floor. -Roof Terrace: a 1,000 sf deck overlooking the skybridge: an intimate retreat that feels utterly private. -Lower Level: 11'-6" ceilings, a media den and guest suite with full bath, laundry, and abundant storage. -Throughout: central air, baseboard heat, and thoughtful detailing at every turn. *Potentially available air rights for up to 3 additional floors The Creative Annex Across Staple Street sits the annex component: an ideal studio, gallery, office, or guest facility. A discreet entrance at 1 Jay Street opens to a reception area, leading down to 2,000+ sf of windowed offices with kitchenette and bath. Private & gated parking spaces adjoin. A Life Both Private and Connected Moments from Hudson River Park, Soho boutiques, and Tribeca’s dining, this property offers absolute privacy. 4 Staple Street has long been a home for artistic endeavors and creative salons, hosting luminaries from film, art, literature, and technology.
