136 Baxter Street, New York, NY 10013

"A rarely available combination of pre-war loft and glass modernism, Penthouse A at 136 Baxter Street is a highly private duplex bathed in sunlight in one of downtown's most sought after pre-war condominiums. With a large terrace that runs the entirety of the great room, the upstairs level has an impressive indoor/outdoor flow. Loft-like and open, the floor-to-ceiling windows and sliding glass doors provide bright eastern light, anchored by the wood-burning fireplace. The apartment is pin-drop quiet and exceptionally private with limited view lines into the unit or onto the terrace. Downstairs, 10 2"" yellow pine ceilings, white-washed masonry walls, original timber beams, oak floors, and three generously sized bedrooms - including a massive principal suite - create a pre-war sanctuary. At almost 2,600 square feet of interior space, this three-bedroom penthouse can easily convert to a comfortable four-bedroom without losing flow. Right at the nexus of SoHo, NoLiTa, Chinatown, and TriBeCa, Penthouse A is available for the first time in over ten years and one of only two penthouses in the building. Enter on the upper level - there is a separate entrance on the lower level as well - into the great room, which greets you with its wall of east-facing windows and sliding glass doors that look over the 675 square foot terrace. The large kitchen has an eat-in breakfast bar that opens into the space. Two sliding glass doors create easy flow to the terrace, which itself has multiple seating areas and offers eastern and southern city views. A powder room upstairs makes the home perfect for guests and hosting. Downstairs you ll find the private quarters: three bedrooms, two of which have en-suite bathrooms, plus a third full bathroom and an oversized laundry room. The stately timber beams create structure to this space, while the white-washed brick walls hint at its century-old character. The principal bedroom is enormous, and includes two large steel-framed east-facing windows looking out over Baxter Street. It includes two large closets and an en-suite bathroom with a double vanity and separate soaking tub. The second bedroom also faces east and has two closets, in addition to an en-suite bathroom. The final bedroom has a dedicated full bathroom in the hallway, where there are two more large closets. 136 Baxter Street, known as the Grand Machinery Exchange, is a former horse stable for the Famed Police Building, perched at the crux of Lower Manhattan. Built in 1915, this 12-unit boutique condominium was reimagined by Gallerist turned developer, Max Protetch, and is currently maintained by a full-time resident manager who accepts packages, a 24-hour virtual doorman and deeded storage. Neighborhood highlights include the new SoHo Eataly, La Mercerie, Smile to Go, Sant Ambroeus, and Jack s Wife Freda. Also within close proximity is Walker Street, the centerpiece of a burgeoning downtown gallery scene."
