A striking-looking one-bedroom residence with a dome shape, located in what was once a police building in downtown Manhattan, has listed for $3.7 million.
Owned by Larry Ellison’s daughter, filmmaker, Meghan Ellison, the unit is located in The Police Building.
Otherwise known as a grand Belle-Epoque landmark designed by architects Hoppin & Koen. It was completed in 1909, and served as Manhattan’s police headquarters until 1973.
Since 1988, the 240 Centre St. structure has been transformed into a luxury, full-service cooperative. A number of top supermodels resided there throughout the 1990s — including Cindy Crawford and Linda Evangelista — as well as the fashion designer, Calvin Klein.
Occupying 1,770 square feet, this residence is located on the top floor of the historic building and features soaring ceilings, skylights, as well as downtown views.
The prominent feature, the domed bedroom, boasts optimal sunlight from the circular skylight. Also circular in shape, the bedroom features an oval window, custom-designed cabinetry and open storage.
Renovations include exposed brick, terra cotta and iron structural elements, the listing notes.
