Historic $10M bakery-turned-gem near Queensboro Bridge hits the market
A rare cottage-style building on East 58th Street, near the Queensboro Bridge, has gone on the market for $10 million. The property stands out with its sloping gambrel roof and historic charm. Originally built as a bakery over a century ago, it now offers development potential with unused air rights.
The two-storey brick structure was first established in 1907 as a French wholesale bakery. Its construction narrowly predates the opening of the Queensboro Bridge, adding to its historical significance. In the 1920s and 1930s, the building underwent conversions, though details of its ownership and exact changes remain unclear.
The $10 million listing presents a rare chance to own a piece of early 20th-century New York. With its unique gambrel roof and expansion potential, the building could appeal to buyers looking for both character and development options. The sale comes without landmark protections, giving future owners flexibility in how they use the space.
