A striking-looking one-bedroom residence with a dome shape, located in what was once a police building in downtown Manhattan, has listed for $3.7 million.
The Police Building, as it’s otherwise known, is a grand Belle-Epoque landmark designed by architects Hoppin & Koen. It was completed in 1909, and served as Manhattan’s police headquarters until 1973.
Since 1988, the 240 Centre St. structure has been transformed into a luxury, full-service cooperative. A number of top supermodels resided there throughout the 1990s — including Cindy Crawford and Linda Evangelista — as well as the fashion designer, Calvin Klein.
Occupying 1,770 square feet, this residence is located on the top floor of the historic building and features soaring ceilings, skylights, as well as downtown views.
The prominent feature, the domed bedroom, boasts optimal sunlight from the circular skylight. Also circular in shape, the bedroom features an oval window, custom-designed cabinetry and open storage.
Renovations include exposed brick, terra cotta and iron structural elements, the listing notes.
Wide-plank oak flooring is installed throughout. The unit also comes with central air conditioning and a full-size washer/dryer — a rarity for the Big Apple.
Kitchen appliances include a Miele six-burner range atop a long concrete counter, a microwave oven, two convection wall ovens, an espresso maker and a dishwasher.
The living room boasts a sound system, a projector and a drop-down viewing screen.
Meanwhile, the sole bathroom features radiant-heat flooring, a deep soaking tub, a separate shower with an oversize rainforest shower head and a Toto toilet.
The listing adds that this unit can be combined with the adjacent one, adding 1,550 square feet to the space as an option.
Building amenities include a fitness center, a planted terrace area, a live-in resident manager, and a lobby with a concierge and a 24/7 doorman.
