Located in the heart of TriBeCa, 168 Duane Street is a charming five-story building designed in 1886 by Stephen Decatur Hatch in a Northern Renaissance Revival/Queen Anne style. The building was converted into condominiums in 1987 by Meile Rockefeller, a great-granddaughter of John D. Rockefeller Jr., with the conversion designed by John T. Fifield. It features just 10 apartments, providing a sense of exclusivity and privacy.
Overlooking the picturesque Duane Park, the building is ideally situated near various restaurants, shops, and parks, including the popular Washington Market Park. The architectural details include a distinctive Flemish-style façade, arched windows, and two oculi windows on the top floor, enhancing its unique character.
Common features of the apartments include impressive 12-foot-high ceilings and large windows that offer views of Duane Park. Many units boast pre-war details such as exposed wood beams and wrought-iron columns, contributing to the loft-style living experience. The apartments are equipped with modern amenities, including fully equipped kitchens, central air conditioning, and in-unit laundry facilities.
Before its conversion, the building served as a butter and eggs wholesaler, adding a layer of historical significance to its charm. With its low carrying costs and prime location, 168 Duane Street represents a unique opportunity for both residents and investors in one of Manhattan's most desirable neighborhoods.
