The 5th/6th floor gymnasium of the iconic Police Building has been transformed into a one of a kind contemporary est 6,600 square foot four bedroom home by famed architect Charles Gwathmey. The home, which was the only apartment Gwathmey designed from the ground up, seamlessly integrates the finest modern finishes and up to the minute technology while preserving the integrity of this historical treasure.

The first floor of this expansive home includes a grand entrance hall with onyx powder room and a great room with multiple sitting and dining areas immediately conveys a sense of power and grandeur. The great room's limestone floors and subtle Venetian plaster walls are complimented by the soaring 25 foot barrel-vaulted ceilings punctuated by three skylights, terra cotta tiling and exposed steel tresses.  Alongside a private outdoor space is the grand kitchen that showcases a double Viking wall oven, Viking stove, two Traulsen refrigerators, two Miele dishwashers, multiple sinks, a custom Winekeeper and an 80+ bottle wine cellar within the adjacent laundry room. The main level master bedroom suite, with light through the oak-plank-framed radial glass floored library above, is complete with a private office, expansive fully outfitted closets/dressing rooms, dual onyx baths and a sauna. Up the distinctive staircase is an open study/library that "floats" above the master suite plus three additional bedrooms and two full baths. All furniture, which was personally designed and/or selected by Gwathmey, is included in the sale.

Originally built in 1909 as the headquarters to the New York City Police Department, the Beaux Arts Police Building was converted to residences in 1988. The transformation of the double-height, top floor gymnasium into this exceptional residence was completed in 2002. 240 Centre Street is a full service building with 24-hour Concierge, Doorman, live-in Resident Manager, Fitness Center, and beautiful common garden
