Expansive, Character-Filled Live/Work Loft in the Heart of FiDi

Spanning nearly 2,200+/- square feet, Loft 2 at 138 Fulton Street offers a rare combination of architectural character, generous proportions, and remarkable flexibility in the heart of the Financial District. Just one flight up in a boutique condominium dating to 1920, this expansive loft is currently configured with four bedrooms and outdoor space to enjoy.

Original exposed wood beams, brick walls, and terrazzo floors preserve the distinctive industrial character of the building, once home to an eyeglass factory in the early 1900s. High ceilings, substantial custom storage, a private patio, low monthly common charges, and the added versatility of live/work use all add to the appeal of this unique downtown home.

Four oversized north-facing windows bring abundant natural light into the open living, dining, and kitchen areas. Soaring wood-beamed ceilings reaching approximately 11.5 feet and exposed brick lend warmth and texture throughout. The expansive living area allows for a variety of furniture configurations, while the dining area easily accommodates a sizable table for everyday meals, gatherings with friends, and holiday entertaining.

The generous chef’s kitchen offers ample workspace and storage, stainless-steel appliances, and a large island with casual bar seating. Just off the kitchen, a utility room houses a side-by-side washer and dryer along with floor-to-ceiling storage. The main living space also incorporates dedicated media and home office areas, while a deep coat closet and sleek powder room complete this section of the home.

A long hallway lined with custom floor-to-ceiling closets leads to the loft’s private bedroom wing. The primary bedroom opens directly onto the patio, where original iron window shutters and a Weber grill add to the distinctive character of the outdoor space. Inside, high ceilings, exposed beams, and brick walls continue the loft aesthetic, while the bedroom itself comfortably accommodates a California king bed. Generous walk-through closets lead to the primary bath, finished in stone tile and featuring dual shower heads.

Three additional bedrooms, all generously proportioned and outfitted with custom wood storage cabinetry, complete the private wing. A second full bath, conveniently located off the hallway, features stone tile and custom stainless-steel shelving.

138 Fulton Street is ideally positioned among Lower Manhattan’s dining, shopping, cultural, and waterfront destinations. The Fulton Street transit hub is less than 500 feet away, providing access to the A, C, J, Z, 2, 3, 4, and 5 trains, with the R/W and World Trade Center PATH station also within easy reach. The Seaport District, Oculus and One World Trade Center, Wall Street and the New York Stock Exchange, along with an extensive selection of restaurants, cafés, markets, and nightlife, are all nearby.
