Welcome to apartment #2N at the coveted The Police Building! This stunning one-bedroom duplex home spans approximately 1,100 square feet, offers 16-foot ceilings with arched windows spanning 9-feet tall, a masterpiece mirrored wall, a 24-foot-long great room, and so much more. The original details and architectural styles of this home are unlike any other. Additionally, unlike so many co-ops, this home even has an in-unit washer/dryer and central A/C.
Coming into the apartment you're immediately "wowed" - the grand living room, large enough to include a 6-seater dining table and living space, in combination with the dramatic, cathedral height ceilings and windows gives off a presence of true luxury and style. The apartment's massive arched windows facing east bring in lots of sunlight and look onto Centre Market Place, a discreet and quiet one-block lane. Off to the right of the living room is the open, windowed kitchen with a Carrara marble breakfast bar. This is the perfect home to entertain in!
Down the foyer, you'll find plenty of storage space with three oversized closets and the in-unit washer/dryer. One of the two bathrooms are here as well making the duplex layout convenient and offering a guest-bathroom. The curved staircase leading up to the bedroom and 2nd bathroom gives the home a cozy "house" vibe. The bedroom upstairs is walled off from the downstairs living room with sound-proof glass, giving one a spacious feel but pin-drop quiet space. It also offers a large dressing area with two large closets, a built-in reading bench (or perfect place to add a desk creating a home office nook), and tons of built-in storage. The upstairs primary bathroom has Lefroy Brooks fixtures and shower/tub combination.
The Police Building located in Little Italy is known for its unprecedented level of white glove service and privacy. The building staff includes 24/7 concierge, a separate doorman on duty, a full-time resident manager and porters. Additionally, there is a fitness room and a stunning resident's garden with water fountain accessed through large double doors. One big perk of living on the 2nd floor is the fitness room and garden are on this level making it feel at times like you own private gym and outdoor space!
