Just steps from the titular restaurant of Netflix’s Black Rabbit starring Jude Law and Jason Bateman, and set within one of Manhattan’s most historic waterfront enclaves, this iconic duplex loft at 275 Water Street offers a rare blend of timeless character and grand-scale living. Built during New York City’s Golden Era, the building sits on a charming cobblestoned block that reflects the neighborhood’s rich 19th-century heritage, moments from Wall Street, the Financial District, major subway lines, ferries, and downtown destinations—yet remains remarkably quiet despite its proximity to major thoroughfares. Spanning approximately 3,121 square feet, the residence is flooded with natural light and boasts four exposures, open river views, soaring ceilings, and striking barreled concrete ceilings. Warm oak and butcher-block floors add texture and enduring appeal throughout. The open, chef-friendly kitchen—framed by direct views of the Brooklyn Bridge—flows seamlessly into a generous dining area and an impressive living room with river vistas, ideal for entertaining. A second expansive living space, complete with a home office nook, enjoys bright southern and eastern exposures. The primary suite features a large walk-in closet and a spa-like bath with a jetted tub, steam shower, and separate water closet. Two additional spacious bedrooms offer excellent flexibility for guests or family. A dedicated laundry room with washer, dryer, and slop sink completes this exceptional home. The residence is also equipped with a comprehensive Vivint security system, featuring sensors on all windows and doors, offering enhanced peace of mind. Currently configured as a three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath residence, the expansive and highly adaptable layout allows for an easy conversion to a four- or five-bedroom home or the potential to create two separate units, subject to building and governing approvals—making it equally compelling as a primary residence, second home, or pied-à-terre. The well-run cooperative offers notable flexibility, with pied-à-terre and second-home use permitted. Subletting is allowed after two years of ownership. Pets are welcome with board approval, and gifting, co-purchasing, and parents purchasing for children are all permitted, subject to board approval. Residents also enjoy access to a beautifully appointed rooftop, offering sweeping views and a standout amenity for relaxing, entertaining, or taking in the surrounding skyline and waterfront. The Neighborhood As noted by a Netflix production designer filming on the block, the neighboring Black Rabbit Restaurant was selected for its “great, colorful history,” with the team feeling inspired and honored to preserve the historic area and give it new life—underscoring the creative and cultural significance of this exact location. The South Street Seaport is defined by its preserved 19th-century architecture, cobblestone streets, and deep maritime heritage. Home to the South Street Seaport Museum, historic Schermerhorn Row, the Seaport Museum Lighthouse, and Cannon’s Walk, the neighborhood offers a rare and authentic sense of place along the East River. Everyday life is enriched by world-class dining and retail, including The Fulton by Jean-Georges and the celebrated Tin Building—a reimagined historic market hall featuring artisanal vendors, specialty grocers, and rotating seasonal pop-ups. Fulton Street and Schermerhorn Row are lined with boutiques, bookstores, and local shops that seamlessly blend historic charm with thoughtfully curated retail. The Seaport also offers a vibrant community atmosphere, with live music, public events, markets, art installations, and seasonal festivals throughout the year, complemented by programming at local gathering spaces such as The Corner. Waterfront promenades provide sweeping views of the East River and Brooklyn Bridge, with easy access to ferry landings and nearby parks. Conveniently connected yet distinctly tranquil, the Se
