4 Staple St New York, NY 10013

Tribeca’s Secret Compound
A filmmakers and architect’s impossible Manhattan estate Where history, architecture, and imagination meet. Tucked on Tribeca’s most iconic block, this is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own a magical piece of NYC history. Something that doesn’t exist anywhere: a private compound comprised of a townhouse, private parking, and a 2500sf creative space. Staple Street’s narrow sidewalks, iron details, and brick façades absorb the city’s energy and reflect it back more quietly: distinctly Tribeca. A Rare Urban Compound Built in 1868, the 2-story brick townhouse at 4 Staple Street was a cast-iron storefront and workshop then reborn as a single-family home designed by award-winning architect Diana Kellogg that beautifully blends industrial authenticity with modern refinement. The idea of a “family compound” is unheard of in Manhattan.
-a 40-foot-wide, 4,100 sf townhouse w/ potentially available air rights of 3 additional stories ( 3,000 sf)
-2 to 3 private, gated parking spaces (w/ electric power)
-2,500 sf of studio, office, wine cellar, and storage space at 1 Jay Street across the street
Together, they form something truly singular: a self-contained urban estate—part home, part atelier, part sanctuary. The Street: A Scene Out of Another Era Staple Street is only two blocks long, quiet and impossibly cinematic. The cast-iron skybridge that spans it has become the most photographed architectural feature in Tribeca. Staple Street is a living gallery; the quiet lane has hosted everything from impromptu performances to Banksy’s first New York piece. The setting feels less like downtown Manhattan and more like a hidden European passage; a place where history, privacy, and artistry converge. The Residence
Inside, the home radiates romance and industrial beauty: soaring brick-vaulted ceilings, original chestnut beams, exposed brick, and oversized windows flooding each level with natural light.
