Property Description for 240 Centre Street, 3-A
*** Major Price Improvement ***
A two-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bathroom duplex in one of the city’s most recognizable co-ops—The Police Building—this impressive residence combines a spacious floor plan with distinctive pre-war details and modern conveniences.
Enter the welcoming foyer of this unique home and be drawn in by double-height 16-foot ceilings topped by a gorgeous crystal chandelier and charming ceiling fans. The 10-foot east-facing windows match the grand scale of the room and usher in golden natural sunlight. Here you'll find an Old World, European feel with ample room for living and dining spaces. The nearby open kitchen, with convenient breakfast bar seating, is both a joy to behold and to use. Inside the renovated, U-shaped space you'll find top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances, long stainless steel countertops, white subway tile backsplashes and ample glass-front cabinetry. Enter the sumptuous master suite through a glass-inset door, a subtle nod to the building's police station origins, and find another 10-foot window, a 13-foot-long, floor-to ceiling-closet, plus an oversized en suite bathroom with two pedestal sinks, gorgeous tilework and a deep soaking tub.
The beautiful mahogany staircase carries you to a large mezzanine with an attractive coved ceiling — ideal for a guestroom, home office or den — outfitted with a truly spectacular full bathroom awash in blue and green tile, stainless steel sink and oversized tub. Ornate mahogany doors and trim and gleaming hardwood floors run throughout the home, and a foyer powder room with in-unit washer-dryer add to the generous amenities.
A landmarked co-op, the Police Building is renowned for its unparalleled elegance and white glove service. A full staff is on duty 24 hours a day providing doorman, concierge and maintenance service around the clock. The exclusive, pet-friendly building also features a groomed private garden and a well-equipped gym.
Set at the intersection of Manhattan's most interesting neighborhoods—SoHo, Little Italy, Nolita and Chinatown—the best of New York is all within reach. Shop SoHo boutiques, discover the famous restaurants of Little Italy and check out the vibrant nightlife of the Bowery and Lower East Side. The 6, R, J/Z and B/D trains stop nearby, providing effortless access to the rest of the city.

Little Italy | Manhattan
Quick Profile
It’s fitting that the neighborhood’s name is Little Italy because It’s been getting smaller for decades. The Italian immigrants that flooded New York City and built the vibrant ethnic enclave in the 1860s and 1880s eventually left for greener pastures, assimilating into other parts of the city or suburbs. The disappearance of Little Italy is a sad story as far as neighborhoods go, but it’s one that should be told.
Little Italy once spanned 50 square blocks and represented the biggest population of Italian immigrants in America. But in recent years, it’s been squeezed by the growth of Chinatown and SoHo and muscled from the rebranding of other neighborhoods like NoHo and NoLIta. In fact, NoLita was the culprit that cut the neighborhood in two. Little Italy’s boundaries may vary depending upon who you ask. Today it’s down to just a few blocks along Mulberry Street.
One of the best ways to experience Little Italy is through its food. Take your pick from mom-and-pop markets, meat and cheese shops, or authentic sit-down restaurants that offer the very best in Italian cuisine.
Every September (since 1926), the neighborhood hosts the Feast of San Gennaro, which celebrates the patron Saint of Naples Italy. 11 days of food, colorful parades, music performances, and more food. The aroma of zeppole and grilled sausage can be smelt for blocks. Try planning your visit around this festive time. It’s well worth it.
