151 Wooster Street

The street elevation has a rusticated stone base below pale brick, with horizontal bands dividing the upper stories. Arched windows mark the sixth floor. A substantial cornice was added during the conversion, restoring a pronounced top to the façade above Wooster Street.

The principal loft layouts extend to approximately three thousand square feet. Their original columns remain within open living-and-dining areas, while bedrooms occupy enclosed portions of the floor. Barrel-vaulted ceilings and tall windows preserve the proportions of the earlier commercial interiors.

Upper duplex layouts connect the main living floor to rooftop rooms and private terraces. These homes have internal stairs and outdoor areas above the principal street wall. Their additional levels and exterior space make them a separate layout category from the single-level lofts below.

Original apartment specifications included gas fireplaces, separate laundry rooms and central air-conditioning. The open kitchens were designed as part of the living space. Later renovations can alter room divisions without changing the position of the building's structural columns or perimeter windows.

A staffed entrance and superintendent serve a small residential association. The elevator provides access to the loft floors, and basement storage provides space outside the apartments. The 24-hour lobby coverage is a recurring operating commitment shared across relatively few homes.

The expired tax benefit applied to the commercial component. Its last appearance on the roll was in 2021; it should not be treated as an active residential tax reduction when comparing current carrying costs.

Recent sales

Recent closings at this building, from The Roebling Research Library. Prices are the transfer amounts recorded with the NYC Department of Finance; apartment-level detail is checked against the building’s own file in The Roebling Research Library before publishing.

Market read. Most recent trades (2025) cleared a median $1,746/sf (floor-adjusted) across 3 sales. Floor-adjusted means each sale is restated to a constant mix of floors, so the figure can differ from the plain median of the sales listed above. Median listing discount 5.6% from the last ask — a recurring negotiation gap worth pricing into any offer or listing strategy.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-00515-7502; each condominium apartment is its own tax lot). Apartment-level facts (line, condition, asking-price context) curated and cross-verified in The Roebling Research Library. Not all transactions cross-verify with ACRIS records — sponsor and LLC purchases sometimes record at stipulated values rather than market price; square footage from recorded condo declarations and offering plans.

The conversion used an artist live/work occupancy. The signed-off DOB alteration created joint living-work quarters for artists on the upper floors. Before buying, establish the apartment’s current authorized use and whether a later residential conversion has been completed; condominium ownership alone does not answer that occupancy question.
