From Carrie Bradshaw’s ultra-modern condo in And Just Like That to a pair of penthouses picked up by Taylor Swift, New York’s artsy Tribeca neighborhood is home to some of the city’s most prime real estate. That includes a six-story townhouse with a variety of wellness-focused amenities. Going for $27 million via Danny Davis, Lisa Balbuena, and Ryan Lee of Corcoran, it stands out as the only private residential building on the block.
Built in 1888, the Jay Street mansion is centered around an atrium that allows natural light to pour in through large skylights and glass flooring. Five (and potentially more) bedrooms and five baths, plus a ground-floor powder room and a large mud room with a shower space, are spread across its 9,600 square feet of living space. Studio DB played a major role in its restoration and modern design, which now includes an indoor basketball court, yoga studio, and expansive rooftop terrace that features a bar and grill.
The 23-foot-wide home is entered on the ground floor, where a trio of successively larger spaces are separated by frosted glass doors. The foyer includes built-in benches and access to the elevator that services the bottom four floors, and beyond that, a bespoke teak-and-blackened steel staircase anchors a 23-foot-long gallery opposite the mudroom, a kitchenette, and a powder room. Next up, a half-court basketball court under a nearly 13-foot ceiling. A climbing wall and 100-inch drop-down screen provide extra entertainment, and a lounge area with more built-in seating is bathed in natural light thanks to a massive skylight.

A guest suite with private entry via elevator spreads out one floor above, alongside a library nook and a 450-square-foot room that could be used as a media lounge, home office, or bedroom. Up on the third floor is the open-plan main living area, where the chef’s kitchen, with custom oxidized maple and lacquered cabinetry and white marble countertops, sits between ample living and dining rooms. Cast-iron beams and designer lighting complement the dining room, while a Carrara marble fireplace, a 20-foot ceiling, and custom doors that open to a Juliet balcony all give the living room an elegant touch.
The fourth floor comprises a mezzanine lounge overlooking the living room, along with a bedroom with an adjoining homework space, while the primary suite takes up three-quarters of the fifth floor with its fireside bedroom, wood-paneled walk-in closet, and spa-like bath with large soaking tub.
Down in the basement, additional amenities include a wine vault and a 700-square-foot professional gym and yoga studio, while a landscaped rooftop terrace with skyscraper views crowns the townhouse. Here, homeowners can whip up cocktails to serve guests from the indoor bar tucked into the bulkhead, exercise their green thumbs tending to the mature plantings, or just chill under the vine-laced pergola.
