Description

Discover Tribeca's ultimate expression of luxury living - a private, six-floor designer showplace meticulously renovated and tucked away on Jay Street, one of the most coveted addresses in Downtown Manhattan.

This unique residence is the only wholly private residential building on this exclusive Belgian-block street, offering privacy, elegance, and unparalleled lifestyle amenities. Featuring five luxurious bedrooms, a full-floor entertaining level, a basketball court, a fitness studio, and a jaw-dropping rooftop terrace - all painstakingly designed by Studio DB - 19 Jay Street is an exceedingly rare offering combining historical significance, unmatched privacy and a one-of-a-kind upscale Tribeca living experience.

Both expansive and intimate, the 23-foot-wide home is centered around a stair atrium that ushers natural light through large skylights and glass flooring throughout the 9,600-square-foot layout. Ceilings soar up to 20 feet tall over curated contemporary finishes and carefully restored original details. The ground floor welcomes you with a grand entry gallery flanked by mudroom storage, a powder room and a kitchenette ideal for gracious receptions.

Past the gallery, frosted glass doors introduce the home's two levels of recreation space, starting with the extraordinary half-court basketball court set beneath nearly 13-foot ceilings. This sun-kissed multi-purpose space boasts a climbing wall, storage and custom seating, while a 100-inch drop-down screen and entertainment system make it perfect for movie nights. On the cellar level below, you'll find a serene 700-square-foot yoga studio and gym, a full bath, abundant storage, and a wine vault.

Ascend the bespoke teak-and-blackened steel staircase or board your private elevator to explore the rest of the home's public levels. The second floor boasts an inviting guest suite with a private entry, a cozy library, and a flexible oversized bonus room ideal for a lavish home office or bedroom. The third floor is dedicated to memorable entertaining. Gather alongside the Carrara marble fireplace in the double-height living room bordered by a wall of custom steel-and-glass doors opening to a Juliet balcony. The large formal dining contrasts designer lighting with yellow pine beams, painted brick, and cast-iron beams and columns. The open gourmet kitchen acts as the heart of the level with custom oxidized maple and lacquered cabinetry, marble countertops, upscale stainless steel appliances, a wide island/breakfast bar and a huge walk-in pantry.

The home's luxurious private quarters begin on the fourth floor, where you'll find a mezzanine media/family room, study room, laundry room, bedroom and full bath. Head to the top floor to explore the tranquil owner's suite, complete with a fireplace, custom dressing room, and a spa-inspired en suite bathroom with a soaking tub, shower, water closet, and separate vanities. Two secondary bedrooms connected by ingenious pocket doors share a fifth bathroom.

The home's crowning glory is its magical roof deck featuring lush landscaping, a terrace, a pergola, a grill and bar area, all wrapped in iconic Downtown views. Enjoy effortless living at the touch of a button with Savant system controls for lighting, temperature and security.
