It may seem odd that journalist Judith Miller lives in the landmarked Police Building — given that she was jailed for 85 days in 2005 for contempt of court, after refusing to reveal her confidential source to a grand jury investigating the leaking of a covert CIA officer Valerie Plame.

Now Miller, 72, and her husband, New York Review of Books co-founder Jason Epstein, 92, have listed their fifth-floor unit at 240 Centre St. for $3.49 million.

The six-story building, between Broome and Grand streets in Little Italy, served as the NYPD’s headquarters from 1909 to 1973, and converted to condos in 1988.

The two- to three-bedroom unit is around 2,500 square feet and comes with a terrace. It opens to a formal entry with a wall of windows and leads into a large living space with custom built-ins and millwork, along with a fireplace and access to the terrace.

There’s also a large dining room with a skylight, and a chef’s kitchen with a vented stove.

The main bedroom is in its own wing with French doors that also open to the terrace. Building amenities include a gym and private garden.

The listing brokers are Douglas Elliman’s Michael Lorber and Alexander Boriskin. The Police Building’s penthouse triplex is also now on the market for, well, a bit of a steal.

First asking $35 million in 2016, it is now asking $11.5 million. The 5,500-square-foot unit — with two terraces and two garden patios — features a third-level domed room with arched windows and stunning panoramic city views.

Adam Modlin, of The Modlin Group, has the listing.
