240 Centre Street, 2-D

Rarely do these oversized duplex lofts become available. The former New York Police Headquarters stands as an iconic downtown landmarked building. This impeccable one-bedroom loft is rare and beautiful, blending the refined classic elements of this coveted prewar building with modern style the discerning buyer seeks. Wonderfully airy 16-foot ceilings, oversized arched windows inviting in brilliant light, and rich hardwoods pouring throughout create a luxury oasis. An airy entry foyer welcomes you inside, flanked by a large walk-in closet and an elegantly-appointed full bath with an oversized spa and built-in bench. The expansive open living/dining space with generous art display walls affords an ideal setting for your private relaxation and entertaining guests. Here there’s plenty of room for an office area found by the sleek and striking wood staircase that ascends to the upper level. The contemporary kitchen is styled with custom cabinetry and premium appliances including a wine fridge for the host. The main level also offers a convenient in-home washer-dryer. The upper floor is reserved for the master bedroom retreat that overlooks the living quarters below and features beamed ceilings, tasteful built-ins, a big cedar storage closet, and fabulous decorative tiled full bath with a dual sink furniture vanity and soaking tub. The original headquarters for the NYC Police Department, historic 240 Centre Street is an architecturally exquisite landmark building designed at the turn of the last century by Hoppin & Koen. The building was converted into luxury residences in 1988 by Ehrenkranz Group & Eckstut, and remains one of downtown’s most distinguished addresses. The white-glove cooperative retains many of its incredible original details and offers discriminating residents the highest level of privacy as well as upscale amenities like a 24-hour doorman, concierge, live-in superintendent, fitness room and outdoor garden. The prime location sits at the crossroads of vibrant SoHo, Nolita and Little Italy, with shops, eateries and other attractions all around you. Pets, pied-a-terres and subletting are allowed.
