Property Description for 240 Centre Street, 6-N

A mint condition downtown landmark - the radio room at The Police Building. Located under the north dome at one of downtown's preeminent full-service co-ops, Residence 6N is a grand and immaculate one-bedroom home. The pièce de résistance is the bedroom, set in the dome itself, offering 14-foot ceilings with direct skylight views of the building's Baroque spire and motifs. The room originally housed the NYPD's switchboard operators. The renovation reveals the original iron and masonry of the dome's construction. The whole home was fully renovated by James Ramsey/RAAD Studio, with wide-plank oak flooring, lacquer built-ins throughout, and central air and heating. There is an oversized kitchen, complete with high-end appliances from Miele, two banquettes, wood cabinetry and a concrete island with bar seating for six. Large skylights let in all-day light, and the ceilings soar up to 17-feet high. 240 Centre Street, formerly the New York Police Headquarters, was built in 1909 and converted to cooperative in 1988. Originally designed by Hoppin & Koen then converted by Ehrenkranz Group & Eckstut, it remains one of the most desirable buildings downtown. The building offers a full-time doorman and concierge, a grand and ornate lobby, a sun-filled gym, and a common garden. Pied-a-terres, subletting and pets are allowed. Current maintenance is $8,686.46/month. Seller is offering a credit to the buyer equal to $3,686.46/month for two years.

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.
