Step into a timeless treasure in the heart of the West Village. 25 Commerce Street, No. 1 is a one-of-a-kind maisonette residence that once housed the Bill Baird Puppeteer Theater, an iconic landmark in American performing arts history. Now reimagined as a stunning private home, this residence retains its theatrical soul while offering the best of modern urban living.
With exclusive street-level access, this unique residence evokes townhouse living with co-op ease. Boasting 14-foot ceilings, a 25-foot-wide floor plate, and windows on all four exposures, the space radiates natural light and expansive volume throughout. Though currently configured with two sleeping lofts, an office, and flexible living zones, it no longer presents as a 4-bedroom layout—offering instead dynamic, convertible space that adapts to the lifestyle needs of creatives, families, or those seeking a live/work sanctuary.
Interior Highlights Include:
• Exquisite chandeliers in every room
• Two distinct sleeping lofts with flexible configurations
• Two full bathrooms, including the whimsical mermaid bath and another fully outfitted bath with elegant finishes including a makeup vanity.
• Washer and dryer in unit for optimal convenience
located in a spacious utility room with custom shelving and two suspended bike rack
• Long gallery-style hallways ideal for displaying art
• An oversized walk-in closet with custom shelves for the ultimate wardrobe set up with overhead storage, plus multiple additional closets throughout the home
• Large open-concept kitchen and living area perfect for entertaining
• Historic elements blended with modern upgrades, honoring its storied past
With a second entrance from the lobby on Barrow Street and situated on a magical, tree-lined block, this home offers the rare combination of discretion, access, and prestige in one of Manhattan’s most desirable neighborhoods.
This is more than a home—it’s a living piece of American cultural heritage waiting to be experienced.
