Description

This striking 1,770sf one bedroom, one bath apartment on the top floor of the historic Police Building in Manhattan is a peerless and spectacular architectural masterpiece. With soaring ceilings and skylights, as well as exposures offering quintessential downtown views to the East, West and North, Apartment 6N is both quiet and bathed in light. Meticulous renovations by James Ramsey / RAAD Studio accentuate the exposed brick, terra cotta and iron structural elements, which are themselves ingeniously accented by sleek walls and finishes.

The domed bedroom awes and is bathed in light from both circular and fanning skylights, through which beautiful and detailed exterior architectural elements of this historic, Belle-Epoque building can be seen.

Circular in shape, the bedroom is accented by a mullioned, Northern oval window, and ringing the base of the bedroom is custom-designed and abundant cabinetry, offering generous hanging, drawer, and open storage. In addition, a large basement storage cage transfers with the apartment.

There is beautiful, wide-plank oak flooring throughout, central air conditioning controlled through a Nest system, and a stacked, full-size LG washer/vented dryer. The kitchen appliances - a six burner range atop a long, polished concrete storage counter, microwave oven, two convection wall ovens, espresso maker, refrigerator and dishwasher are all Miele.

The deep kitchen sink has a garbage disposal and is flanked by cushioned storage benches. Custom cabinets line the windowed kitchen and living room, and there is a sophisticated sound system, projector, and drop-down viewing screen.

The bath features a long-trough, Vola double faucet sink with cabinetry below and above, Nuheat radiant-heat flooring, a large, deep soaking tub, separate shower with an oversized rainforest head, and a Toto toilet.

6N could be combined with the approx.

1,550sf 6M apartment, for a total of approx. 3,320sf - square footage has been estimated by Miller-Samuel.

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.
