136 Baxter Street, PH-S

Penthouse South at 136 Baxter Street is an unrivaled offering nestled at the crossroads of Soho, Nolita and Chinatown. The rare amenity of a 1,600+ square foot landscaped terrace available from the living room, kitchen and dining room create truly functional indoor/outdoor living. An impeccable balance of light and space, this duplex three-bedroom, three-bathroom residence harmonizes a lush secret garden with contemporary interiors and a wood burning fireplace. With southern and eastern exposures, plus floor-to-ceiling windows, the residence offers a private living experience that is nonetheless open and light. The bedrooms are on the sixth floor, which is loft-like and filled with pre-war detail, while the public living spaces are on the seventh floor, a modern glass crown to the historic Machinery Exchange. The three king-size bedroom suites are lined with south- and east-facing steel frame windows, 10-foot timber-beamed ceilings, oak floors, cast iron columns, and white-washed exposed brick. The space is an art collector's paradise, with ample wall space fit for a gallery. The sixth floor also has the midnight kitchen, with fridge and wet bar; and the laundry room, with side-by-side washer/dryer. 136 Baxter Street, known as the Machinery Exchange, is a former horse stable for the Police Building, located in the heart of Lower Manhattan. Built in 1915, this 12-unit boutique condominium is maintained by a full-time resident manager who accepts packages, features a 24-hour virtual doorman, deeded storage, and bike room.
