The Footbridge Mansion, a piece of Tribeca history on one of the city\u2019s most-photographed streets, is back on the market for $29.99 million \u2014 a relative bargain, considering it asked $50 million a decade ago.<\/p>\n
The 8,300-square-foot listing at 9 Jay St. comes with one bedroom and four baths \u2014 across two buildings connected by the famed Staple Street skybridge. The assemblage\u00a0last traded for $24 million in 2022<\/a>, Gimme Shelter previously reported.<\/p>\n The\u00a0118-year-old\u00a0bridge, which picturesquely hovers above cobblestoned streets, connects a landmarked four-story red mansion with a private 1,200-square-foot rooftop terrace to a loft across the street. The landmarked property also features a private three-car garage \u2014 and more than 4,000 square feet of air rights.\u00a0<\/p>\n The bridge on an otherwise sleepy Tribeca block is a popular landmark for locals and tourists to photograph. Brad Stein<\/p>\n This $29.99 million offering connects two buildings via the bridge. Brad Stein<\/p>\n The building has good parking space \u2014 a rare city perk.
