Property Description for 273 Water Street, 3-F

Captain Joseph Rose House

This upper floor duplex condominium in a historic townhouse has been completely gut renovated and offers the perfect combination of 18th century charm with contemporary conveniences and luxury.

The main floor entrance opens up to a large dining and entertainment space overlooking a charming cobblestone street through 3 large west facing windows. The large open kitchen, adjacent to the dining area, features a Bertazzoni professional range, Bosch appliances and custom built kitchen cabinetry with breakfast counter. The main floor also features a full bathroom featuring Hansgrohe Starck and a walk in-shower with Hansgrohe integrated shower unit.

The upper level features two large bedrooms, each with a garret window and large skylight. There is abundant closet space, six closets in total, including one walk-in, plus additional overhead storage. The upper level bathroom features a 6 foot Neptune deep soaking tub, Hansgrohe Starck fittings and Lacava furniture. The upper level also includes a matching built-in with Bosch Washer and vented Dryer.

The building is 25 feet wide, has a beautiful roof garden, a laundry room and offers additional storage in the basement. The building is self-managed by the unit owners with an easy approval process.

One of the oldest residential structures in New York City, 273 Water Street has a rich, colorful and extensively documented history. Initially home to a successful merchant seaman Captain Rose, this building as well as the neighborhood proudly carries the character and charm of historic New York City. The neighborhood is also home to some of NYC's newest attractions, including the iPic theater/dining complex, and celebrity chef restaurants to complement the existing dynamic neighborhood restaurant scene. There is also excellent public transportation access and recently opened schools.

Built around 1773, the building has seen a variety of uses after the initial owners moved on including cobbler shop, apothecary, boarding house, dance hall and warehouse, eventually being redeveloped in 1998 by Sciame Development into four condominium apartments.

Seaport District | Manhattan

Quick Profile

The Seaport District sits between the Financial District to the south and the Brooklyn Bridge to the north. The original Seaport designation was limited to the streets east of Water Street from Fletcher Street to Dover Street and incorporated the actual Seaport and the piers. But no more. Today, the neighborhood boundaries have expanded westward toward Park Row and include a surge of new developments in the area around Pace University and City Hall Park.

This is not your father’s Seaport. It is no longer a commercial hub and the seafood industry, which operated out of the port for nearly two hundred years, has been displaced. The older low-rise buildings that line these cobblestoned streets have been repositioned, the SouthBridge towers complex to the east of Water Street has gone free market, multiple commercial buildings have been converted to residential usage and new gleaming residential towers are rising on the site of the iconic J&R Music World which once lined the east side of Park Row.  

Still, the Seaport is a small neighborhood, particularly quaint just north of Beekman Street. The streets are dominated by century-old warehouses and maritime buildings which gives the neighborhood its overt character. The Brooklyn Bridge, on its northern edge, looms in the backdrop.
