Description

Rare and Private Full-Floor Penthouse with Panoramic River & City Views

Located on Riverside Drive, this exquisite two-bedroom, one-bathroom penthouse offers a true city oasis on the 17th floor of a landmarked, Neo-Classical co-op building, constructed in 1926. This sun-drenched residence boasts three exposures with oversized picture windows and glass doors, enhancing the open and airy feel.

Pre-war details such as high ceilings, hardwood floors, and crown moldings add character throughout the home. The spacious living room features two double glass doors with motorized shades leading to the terrace, oversized picture windows showcasing open city views, a dining area, and a wood-burning fireplace with a Sienna marble hearth and mantle.

The expansive wraparound terrace, fully planted and beautifully maintained, offers breathtaking, panoramic river views stretching to the George Washington Bridge.

This outdoor space is perfect for relaxation or entertaining, featuring motorized retractable awnings, new pavers, custom lighting, and an irrigation system.

The primary bedroom, with south and west exposures through large picture windows includes terrace access through a glass patio door. The kitchen, framed by two south facing bay windows for ample natural light, is equipped with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a pantry, and a washer/dryer. A cozy den/convertible second bedroom, offers built-in bookshelves, motorized shades, picture windows, and pocket doors for versatility.

The spa-like bathroom includes a soaking tub, walk-in shower, Waterworks fixtures, and ample natural light from a window with beautiful westward views. Venetian plaster walls throughout, central air conditioning, generous closet space, and an ADT alarm system add to the home's refined touches. The private landing was decorated with ceramic tiles and crown molding and all the doors including the elevator doors were stripped down and refinished by an artist.

This well-established, boutique pre-war co-op boasts an elegant lobby, 24-hour doorman, resident superintendent, storage, and bike storage.

Pied- -terres are welcome in this pet-friendly building. Located in the heart of the Upper West Side, the building is directly across from Riverside Park and the Boat Basin, with easy access to transportation, shopping, and dining.
