Property Description for 136 Baxter Street, 5-C

The corner loft everyone has been waiting for at 136 Baxter Street. Residence 5C is a stunning 1,750 square foot prewar condominium with an incredible expanse of 12 custom steel framed tilt and turn windows framing southeastern views of Chinatown. Set apart from other units in the building, defining features include: 11’6 pine ceilings throughout, heavy timber beams, original cast iron columns and exposed white brick walls. Currently utilized as an open one bedroom, it can be easily converted to a two bedroom and two bathroom home. Washed in sunlight, the dramatic corner living room features multiple seating areas and a rarely available grand scale. The exposed white brick walls provide texture and abundant hanging space for an expansive art collection while beautifully contrasting the grey stained oak floors and matte grey finished columns. No detail remains untouched and simple luxury is the fundamental design principal. Sleek and minimal, the Valcucine windowed kitchen is in impeccable condition and features a large breakfast bar with Bianca Luna countertops, brushed aluminum cabinets, vented Miele range and Subzero refrigerator. Located directly off of the kitchen, a built-out, oversized pantry houses additional storage with a wine refrigerator but can be easily converted to a powder or full second bathroom. The generously proportioned primary bedroom features three South facing windows, with blackout shades, complete with an en suite bathroom and custom walk in closet. Added conveniences in the primary bathroom include a double vanity, deep Robern medicine cabinet, Geberit and Duravit system and towel warmer. Additional features: Nest controlled, dual zoned central AC, Lutron systems, built in surround sound system and a vented washer/dryer. Temperature controlled heat is included in the monthly common charges. 136 Baxter Street, also known as The Machinery Exchange, is a former horse stable for the famed Police Building and located at the crossroads of Soho, Nolita and Chinatown. A boutique condominium with only 12 apartments, there is a sense of privacy and exclusivity. This 1915 building is meticulously maintained by a full time resident manager who accepts packages, features a 24-hour virtual doorman and a deeded storage cage included in the sale. *Monthly taxes reflect the Condominium Property Tax Abatement.

Little Italy | Manhattan

Quick Profile

It’s fitting that the neighborhood’s name is Little Italy because It’s been getting smaller for decades. The Italian immigrants that flooded New York City and built the vibrant ethnic enclave in the 1860s and 1880s eventually left for greener pastures, assimilating into other parts of the city or suburbs. The disappearance of Little Italy is a sad story as far as neighborhoods go, but it’s one that should be told. 

Little Italy once spanned 50 square blocks and represented the biggest population of Italian immigrants in America. But in recent years, it’s been squeezed by the growth of Chinatown and SoHo and muscled from the rebranding of other neighborhoods like NoHo and NoLIta. In fact, NoLita was the culprit that cut the neighborhood in two. Little Italy’s boundaries may vary depending upon who you ask. Today it’s down to just a few blocks along Mulberry Street. 

One of the best ways to experience Little Italy is through its food. Take your pick from mom-and-pop markets, meat and cheese shops, or authentic sit-down restaurants that offer the very best in Italian cuisine. 

Every September (since 1926), the neighborhood hosts the Feast of San Gennaro, which celebrates the patron Saint of Naples Italy. 11 days of food, colorful parades, music performances, and more food. The aroma of zeppole and grilled sausage can be smelt for blocks. Try planning your visit around this festive time. It’s well worth it.
