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.

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.
