A Rarely Available Landmark Loft Duplex in Tribeca’s Historic Core

4-bedroom, 3-bathroom floor-through duplex that combines the best of loft and townhouse living.
61 North Moore Street, located on one of Tribeca’s most prized cobblestone blocks, is a distinguished example of late 19th-century industrial architecture. Originally built in 1897 as a warehouse supporting the Hudson River trade, the structure embodies the utilitarian loft style of the era, with its red-brick façade and rhythmic window bays. In 2000, the building was meticulously restored and converted into a boutique residential condominium. Today, this seven-story historic condominium comprises just nine residences, offering a rare combination of architectural integrity, privacy, and intimacy in the heart of the Tribeca West Historic District.

A Quintessential SoHo Artist Loft

515 Broadway, Unit 4B, Soho 
Once home to the legendary St. Nicholas Hotel, this location was a hallmark of luxury when it opened in 1853, during an era when New York City was emerging as a world-class metropolis, boasting commercial architecture that rivaled Paris and London. After the hotel's closure, the Snook-designed Loubat store (No. 503–511) took the southern wing in 1878, while the central portion (No. 513–519) became Samuel Warner's store and warehouse in 1884 before its conversion into a residential co-op in 1978.
