A charming and highly distinctive retail or office space unfolds across the ground floor of a landmarked Federal-style row house dating back to 1826, offering a rare blend of historic character and functional flexibility in a location bridging Tribeca and Hudson Square. The moment one steps inside, the warmth of restored hardwood flooring and richly textured exposed brick immediately sets a memorable tone. High ceilings and large front windows introduce generous light, illuminating the open layout that stretches from the storefront toward the rear partitioned areas. The wide, street-facing entry room serves as an ideal sales floor, studio, gallery, or open office zone, with enough breadth to accommodate multiple workstation groupings, showroom displays, or communal seating without compromising traffic flow. White beams overhead and tasteful lighting fixtures reinforce a refined yet creative aesthetic that complements both client-facing retail environments and boutique professional operations.

Moving deeper into the space, the main level transitions toward a slightly elevated rear portion that feels both connected to and distinct from the front. This raised back area benefits from striking exposed brick walls, continued hardwood floors, and the warmth of baseboard heating, creating a quiet enclosure that can function as a private office, a meeting room, an atelier, or a staff workroom. The elevation change naturally organizes the suite into zones, allowing businesses to separate public-facing functions from internal tasks. A charming ground-level pantry sits along one side, outfitted with cabinetry, counter space, and a farmhouse-style sink that ties in with the building’s historic charm. This pantry allows staff to operate comfortably during long workdays and supports hospitality needs for client appointments, retail events, or studio sessions.

Two additional interior rooms at the rear provide flexible options for storage, back-office operations, or private office use. One of these rear rooms leads to a staircase descending to a lower-level area that includes a laundry room and access to two restrooms. The lower level is particularly beneficial for tenants needing discreet support functions, inventory staging, or separation between staff facilities and public-use spaces. The entire floorplan supports a natural circulation path beginning at the storefront and flowing seamlessly through the main hall into the raised rear section, making the layout intuitive for both visitors and employees.

The unit is serviced by two independent air conditioning systems that control the temperatures of the front and back sections, ensuring comfort across all zones. The presence of landmarked architectural details, combined with exposed brick, hardwood flooring, farmhouse elements, and a split-level configuration, gives the space a personality rarely found in modern commercial buildings. Its design easily accommodates retail showrooms, creative studios, boutique wellness operators, design offices, galleries, or hybrid retail-office concepts seeking a setting with warmth, authenticity, and strong street presence in one of Manhattan’s most desirable downtown neighborhoods.

Notes: Charming and elegant retail/office space at the base of a landmarked 1826 Federal style row house. Situated at the borders of both Tribeca and Hudson Square. Unique farmhouse features and exposed brick. Ground level pantry area with cabinets and sink in place. Split level space with 10’ ceiling heights in back. Private office areas in front and back, partitions can be reconfigured with Landlord approval. Two AC units servicing the front and back portions, baseboard heating. Private office/storage area with 2 restrooms and laundry room in lower level.
