Upon entering, you’re welcomed into an airy foyer, flanked by a massive walk-in closet, elegantly-appointed full bath with oversized steam shower, and a separate closet for your in-unit washer and dryer. Passing through into the expansive living and dining room, you’ll be taken aback by the soaring ceilings, oversized arched windows that let western light pour in, and spotless hardwood floors throughout. Whether you fashion it to be a space for relaxation or a backdrop for endless entertaining, the staggering amount of wall space lets you be the curator of your own personal art display. Tucked away by the staircase, you’re afforded the perfect opportunity for your entire work-from-home set up that remains sneakily separate from the rest of the apartment. The contemporary kitchen is newly renovated as well, featuring a wine fridge, excellent storage, gas stove, dishwasher, microwave, and ample counter space that makes preparing the most elaborate meals a breeze. Traveling up the chic hardwood staircase to the second floor, you’ll find your master bedroom retreat. The bedroom easily fits a king sized bed, has beautifully preserved beamed ceilings, a large hanging closet, an even more sizable cedar storage closet, and a massive full bathroom with dual sink and soaking tub. In a city where no one has ever said “I have too much storage space”, this unit comes with a highly coveted deeded storage cage to tuck away the cumbersome likes of seasonal clothing, suitcases, and bulk Amazon purchases. Highlighted by pristinely maintained original details, this white-glove cooperative affords its residents the utmost confidentiality and features upscale amenities such as full-time doormen, live-in resident manager, concierge, a sunlit fitness room, and communal garden. Located at the crossroads of Soho, Nolita, and Little Italy, some of the city’s best dining and shopping is at your fingertips. Pets, pied-a-terres, and subletting are all allowed. 240 Centre Street is an immaculately preserved slice of New York history. Built between 1905 and 1909, the structure that stands today was the former New York City Police Headquarters, designed by the firm Hoppin & Koen, which continued to house the department until 1973. After much deliberation about what to do with the architectural feat, the firm Ehrenkranz Group & Eckstut converted the building to luxury apartments in 1988 and it remains to this day one of downtown Manhattan’s most sought after addresses.
