Property Description for 240 Centre Street, 6N/6M

This is a truly unique opportunity to purchase and combine adjacent apartments 6N and 6M on the top floor of the grand, historic Police Building in Nolita. While each apartment is listed separately, James Ramsey of RAAD Studio, who designed and oversaw the transformation of 6N to its present remarkable configuration, has suggested two floorplans included in this listing to stimulate ideas of what the combination of apartments 6N and 6M could look like if made into one. Together, the apartments have three bedrooms and three full baths. With a dome, skylights, soaring ceilings, exposures to the West, North and East, and approximately 3,320sf to work with (square footage estimated by Miller-Samuel), there are abundant combination layout opportunities!

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.
