Description

Apartment 13N at 173 Riverside Drive is an exquisite, airy, sun-filled three-bedroom, three full bath home in the heart of the Upper West Side directly across from Riverside Park. With a unique 'un-classic' 6-room layout, this is a true 3-bedroom apartment. The elegant prewar design and scale are accentuated by high ceilings and abundant natural light pouring in through oversized windows. From this high floor, both the living room and two of the bedroom suites enjoy open city views over landmarked brownstones to the south and an oblique view of the Hudson River. Recently renovated, this immaculate home is move-in ready, featuring newly finished hardwood floors, double-paned Pella windows, custom built-ins, and a beautiful, brand-new, bespoke eat-in kitchen. Modern comforts blend seamlessly with stylish details including through-wall air conditioning, en-suite baths, top-of-the line appliances, pocket doors, a cleverly concealed custom dry bar, pristine moldings, and an extraordinary amount of fitted closet storage.

The gracious layout offers a generous open living room and formal dining room with an expanse of over 33' that suits both large-scale entertaining and casual living. Extraordinary natural light enhances the overall formal expanse along with the fabulous open city views. The dining room can easily accommodate a large dinner party and includes an elegant dry bar that can be opened or concealed when not entertaining. Built-in hutch storage and open bookshelves line the wall of the generous foyer, and the entryway coat closet is large enough to accommodate bulky winter outerwear and sports equipment.
The spacious, bright, windowed eat-in kitchen is brand new and fully equipped and beautifully appointed with abundant custom cabinets balanced by sleek Dekton marbled quartz countertops. Top-of-the-line appliances include a Sub-Zero refrigerator, Thermador double wall ovens and gas stovetop with vented hood, and Miele dishwasher, washer, and dryer. Additionally, there is a large Franke stainless farm sink, a huge walk-in pantry closet, and a spacious windowed breakfast area.

There is a wonderful separation between the formal entertaining space and the private living wing that features two sunny and generous bedroom suites, a large hallway with open bookshelves and two fitted linen closets. Both bedrooms feature en-suite baths, large closets, and new Thermopane Pella windows that showcase not only open city views, but a view of the Hudson River. The primary bedroom is sublime with a huge fitted walk-in closet, two windows allowing for abundant light, and an en-suite bath that has been beautifully designed with a marble pedestal sink, a lighted medicine cabinet, and a spa-like shower lined with cobalt blue mosaic tiles. The second bedroom, featuring two closets and window cubby storage, has spectacular natural light streaming in and an en-suite bath with a second door to the hallway for convenience. The third bedroom is located on the opposite end of the apartment with a full windowed bath. This private space can be used as a home office, a guest suite, or simply a third full-size bedroom.

173-175 Riverside Drive is an elegant, prewar cooperative with an attentive full-time staff including 24-hour doormen, handymen, porters, and a live-in resident manager. It was designed in 1926 by esteemed architect J. E. R. Carpenter. Building amenities include a fitness center, storage rooms, bike rooms, laundry rooms, a playroom, and a recreation room.
