136 Baxter Street, Unit 1B
Go Back To Previous PagePositioned at the nexus of SoHo, TriBeCa, Nolita, and Chinatown, Unit 1B at 136 Baxter Street offers a rare opportunity to inhabit a true downtown loft within a prewar live/work condominium. Equal parts gallery, atelier, and inspiring architectural frame, this duplex space embodies the scale and authenticity that continue to define New Yorks most compelling environments.
Entered either through a private, tree-lined street entrance or via the buildings main lobby, the loft unfolds across two levels that allow for clear separation between public-facing and private functions. The upper level is defined by soaring 14-foot pine ceilings, oversized warehouse-style windows, exposed brick, and preserved original finishes, as well as a discreetly integrated kitchenette. The volume and light create an ideal setting for a curated art collection, creative studio, or flexible showroom environment, while maintaining the quiet refinement expected of a downtown space.
Below, the duplexs secondary level functions as a dedicated workspace or back-of-house extension, ideal for archives, media production, or auxiliary office use. Anchored by a cast-iron staircase, the lower level includes additional storage and built-ins offering utility and privacy without sacrificing the cohesive loft aesthetic.
What distinguishes Unit 1B is its exceptional flexibility. The gallery-scale footprint within a live and work condominium is rarely available in todays downtown market. With two independent entrances, the space adapts effortlessly to client-facing or professional use while maintaining the discretion and autonomy of a boutique building.
Originally constructed in 1915 as horse stables and later reimagined in 1927 as the Grand Machinery Exchange warehouse, the building reflects a layered architectural history emblematic of lower Manhattans evolution. Converted in 2007 into a boutique mixed-use condominium with just 14 units, 136 Baxter Street offers a virtual doorman, package room, and full-time superintendent, all moments from the neighborhoods most vibrant dining, cultural institutions, and major transit lines.
