It is my privilege to introduce this majestic and esteemed duplex residence at the iconic The Police Building, home to a celebrated ELLE photographer and Real Housewife of New York celebrity. This exceptional home offers a rare sense of grandeur and ambiance, highlighted by soaring 16-foot ceilings, a dramatic arched window, and gracious living and dining spaces designed for entertaining. The open kitchen is ideal for every chef, while the three spacious bedrooms feature en-suite baths, generous closets, and an in-home washer/dryer.

​

Originally completed in the early 1900s as New York City’s Police Headquarters, the building famously served as the office of Theodore Roosevelt during his tenure as Police Commissioner before its celebrated residential conversion in 1988. Residents of 240 Centre Street enjoy exceptional white-glove service including a full-time resident manager, concierge, doorman, fitness center, and private garden, all moments from the best of SoHo, NoLita, and Tribeca dining, shopping, and culture.
