Property Description for 240 Centre Street, 6-M

This two-bedroom, two full bath apartment at the historic Police Building offers generous space and Western light, which is further welcomed by an oversized skylight in the peaked, soaring living room ceiling, through which one can see the building's central dome clock. At approximately 1,550 square feet, there is ample room for comfortable living.

6M features generous shelving in the living and second bedrooms. The second bedroom opens through French doors onto the living room, and both the spacious primary and second bedrooms offer substantial closet storage. In addition, two large basement storage cages transfer with the apartment. There are two full baths, as well as a large separate kitchen which has a stacked Samsung washer and vented dryer, Subzero refrigerator, and a four-burner Roper gas range and oven, with a built-in Litton-Aire microwave above.

Apartment 6M presents an excellent opportunity for buyers to both update and get creative with the space, tailoring it to individual preferences and lifestyle. Moreover, for those seeking an even larger living space, there's the exciting possibility of combining this apartment with the adjacent, approx. 1,770sf 6N apartment to create a home with approximately 3,320 square feet of living space. Square footage has been estimated by Miller-Samuel.

The Police Building, a grand Belle-Epoque landmark designed by architects Hoppin & Koen, was completed in 1909, served as Police Headquarters until 1973, and since 1988 has been a luxury, full-service cooperative. There is a sunlit fitness center opening onto a tranquil planted terrace, a live-in Resident Manager, and a fully attended lobby including a concierge and 24/7 doorman. Situated at the juncture of SoHo and Little Italy, Balthazar and 19 Cleveland are but two of the scores of noted neighborhood restaurants, the shopping meccas of SoHo and Nolita are immediately adjacent, the 6 train is two blocks away, and Eataly has just opened a block away! There is a 2% flip tax paid by the seller. Pieds-a-terre, subletting, and pets are allowed.

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.
