Description

Grande, lavish, and opulent are just a few words to describe this fully furnished 2 bedroom 2 bath duplexed home once featured in Architectural Digest for its eclectic antiques and furnishings from around the world and various centuries. Located in the iconic Police Building, providing the highest level of service, this dramatic loft -like residence features an expansive 40-foot living/dining/entertaining room, dramatic double-height ceilings, enormous west-facing windows, incredible natural light, a home office area, an open kitchen with top-brand appliances, and a Bosch washer/dryer. A unique bedroom on the main level of the home feels like it’s out of another century! It offers an incredible wall of closets and an ensuite bathroom with a huge soaking tub and gorgeous marble and mosaic tiles.

Upstairs is the loft bedroom that overlooks the living space for an airy open feeling, yet can also be closed off for complete privacy. This bedroom also has an ensuite bathroom and ample closets. Offered furnished only. Short-term rentals are not permitted in the building.

A one-year lease is the minimum. The Police Building is a soaring Beaux Art masterpiece that housed the police headquarters for all of New York City from 1909-1973. It remains one of Lower Manhattan’s crown jewels and sparkling pieces of history today. It became landmarked in 1978 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.

The Police Building is known for its unsurpassed service and has one of the most dramatic and opulent lobbies in all of New York City. Amenities include a full-time doorman and concierge, a resident manager, a complimentary fitness center, a Common English garden, valet service, numerous porters, and impeccable security. The Police Building is located at the crossroads of Nolita, Little Italy, and Soho and is just a short walk to Tribeca, NoHo, and The Lower East Side.

It’s surrounded by world-renowned restaurants and unique neighborhood boutiques. With its intimate boutique vibe and old-world luxury, The Police Building is the perfect place to call home. Pets are allowed on a case-by-case basis.
