Description

A prized offering of a grand, sky-high corner 8-room home with majestic panoramic views of the Hudson River, Riverside Park and the Manhattan skyline from almost every room, through massive wall-to-wall picture windows. A coveted line for its unique vantage point, Residence 15A at 110 Riverside Drive wraps the building's southwestern facade overlooking a particularly broad section of Riverside Park and the Hudson River for uniquely sweeping, uninterrupted views and incomparable sunsets and light. Awaiting your design, this is a once in a generation opportunity to create a glorious trophy-quality property in a luxury full-service pre-war cooperative in one of New York City's most desirable residential enclaves.

Off of a semi-private landing, you're welcomed into a gracious gallery as warm rays of sun guide you into a sprawling corner living room framed by oversized picture windows which showcase the Hudson River, Riverside Park and the horizon beyond. The living room is ideal for those who entertain at scale or simply like to live large. High beamed ceilings overhead add character to the home's grandeur reminiscent of a downtown loft. The living room flows seamlessly along a wall of South-facing windows into the dining room which is beautifully proportioned to host even the most extravagant of dinner parties or holiday gatherings affront shimmering city lights.

Adjacent to the dining room, what was once the original kitchen, a butler's pantry and a staff room have all been combined into one massive open-concept double-windowed eat-in kitchen/great room offering a rare urban space for more casual entertaining, intimate dining and lounging or simply relaxing in your pajamas at the end of a busy day. This wing of the residence is rounded out by a home office/staff room currently in use as an additional bedroom and serviced by a windowed en-suite bathroom with stall shower.

The principle bedrooms are located in the West wing of the home and all showcase unobstructed views of the Hudson River. The current primary bedroom suite is located at the end of the sleeping corridor and is appointed with a large walk-in closet as well as an en-suite windowed bathroom with continued river views. There is a second large river-facing bedroom which has an oversized cedar closet and is serviced by an off-suite windowed bathroom with a tub. Rounding out the bedroom wing is what currently serves as a guest room with a built-in daybed and desk as well as a windowed en-suite bathroom. The guest room was created by reducing the original primary suite which had occupied the southwest corner of the apartment, now part of the expanded living room. For those who would enjoy a corner primary suite, it can be restored if desired.

Built in 1929 by prolific architects of the Upper West Side Gronenberg and Leuchtag, 110-118 Riverside Drive is a handsome specimen of the Renaissance Revival style embellished with elaborate terra cotta window enframements.
