4 Staple Street

Tribeca’s Hidden Gem - An extraordinary estate where history, architecture, and imagination converge. Nestled in one of Tribeca’s most iconic blocks, this is a rare chance to own a unique piece of New York City history. This private compound features a townhouse, private parking, and a 2,500 sq ft creative space. The charming narrow sidewalks and iron details of Staple Street capture the essence of the city, reflecting the distinct character of Tribeca. Built in 1868, the 2-story brick townhouse was originally a cast-iron storefront and workshop, transformed into a stunning single-family home by award-winning architect Diana Kellogg, blending industrial charm with modern elegance. The concept of a 'family compound' is truly unique in Manhattan, featuring a 40-foot-wide, 4,100 sq ft townhouse with potential air rights for 3 additional stories, private gated parking for 2-3 cars, and a separate 2,500 sq ft space for studio or office use. Staple Street itself is a picturesque, quiet lane, home to the iconic cast-iron skybridge, a celebrated architectural feature. The residence boasts romantic industrial beauty with soaring brick-vaulted ceilings, original chestnut beams, and oversized windows that invite natural light. The main floor includes a spacious living/dining area with a wood-burning fireplace and a chef’s kitchen. The primary level offers a serene sitting area leading to the main suite with vaulted ceilings and a luxurious ensuite bath. The roof terrace provides a private oasis overlooking the skybridge, while the lower level features a media den and guest suite. The annex across the street serves as an ideal studio or office space, complete with a reception area and private parking. Just moments from Hudson River Park and Tribeca’s vibrant dining scene, this property offers both privacy and connection, having long been a hub for artistic creativity. Annual tax bills are $50,106.88 for the residence and $13,774.28 for the office space.
