Property Description for 240 Centre Street, 2-A

Welcome to this sophisticated duplex, located in the historic Police Building, once Nolita's New York City Police Headquarters, designed by the iconic firm Hoppin & Koen, built between 1905 and 1909. In 1988, this important building was converted into luxury residences by the firm Ehrenkranz Group & Eckstut. The 10-feet oversized windows of this architect-designed, fully renovated home look out onto Centre Market Place, offering a unique-and uniquely quiet-European feel in the center of New York.

Entering this majestic home with over 14-foot ceilings in the living and dining rooms gives this residence an enchanting, airy feel that you won't find anywhere in Nolita. Not a detail has been overlooked in this modern sanctuary. This endlessly spacious residence offers two bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and an elegant powder room, which are outfitted with Carrera marble, heated floors in the primary bathroom, Robern medicine cabinets, and a luxurious soaking tub in the mezzanine bathroom. A gleaming kitchen has impeccable upgrades, like a SubZero refrigerator and wine fridge, Wolf range, Miele dishwasher, and quartz countertops.

The lofted second bedroom accommodates a full-sized sleeper sofa and can easily be converted into an en-suite bedroom. It also offers a remarkable, dedicated work-from-home space. The apartment boasts a full-sized vented washer/dryer and a three-zone Nest HVAC system. Never-ending closet space and hard-wired electric shades in the living room complete this thoughtful space, which is a diamond-in-the-rough in this coveted historic building.

The boutique, pet-friendly Police Building is one of the most sought-after buildings in the city's most vibrant neighborhood and is rich with amenities. Equipped with its own fitness center, concierge, shared courtyard, bike storage, and sizeable storage for rent, this full-service building offers Upper East Side living with a definite downtown vibe. Close to the desirable neighborhoods of TriBeCa, SoHo, and the Lower East Side, practically the only thing you'll need is your suitcase.

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.
