Description

Welcome to a sun-drenched corner residence in the Upper East Side's most cherished enclave. This graciously proportioned two-bedroom, one-bathroom home - replete with private terrace - perfectly balances the grandeur of prewar architecture with the warmth and elegance of contemporary living. A welcoming entrance foyer leads to an expansive, airy living room with northern and western exposures, framed by high beamed ceilings, original archways, elegant crown moldings, recessed lighting, and beautiful herringbone oak floors. Thanks to the open views afforded by the building's quiet cul-de-sac setting, the room is bathed in natural light and captures a partial view of the East River — a rare and serene backdrop for relaxing, entertaining, or dining in a space of exceptional depth. The updated windowed kitchen is a sunlit haven for culinary creativity, spanning 10 feet in length, appointed with marble checkerboard tiling and a full suite of GE appliances. A dedicated dining area is perfect for intimate meals, and a bonus pantry adds welcome storage. The kitchen can be expanded into this space as the layout allows for ample dining in the foyer or living area. An oversized pass-through window in the kitchen opens directly onto the terrace - an inviting perch nestled among the treetops, ideal for a morning coffee or an evening cocktail in your own private sanctuary. The bedroom wing is thoughtfully set apart from the living area, creating a true private suite. A linen closet in the hallway adds practical convenience. The primary bedroom stretches an impressive 18 feet, easily accommodating a king-sized layout with room to spare for a sitting or working area. Two deep, ceiling-height closets are perfectly positioned for conversion into a single generous walk-in. The second bedroom, complete with its own closet - equally suited as a guest room, den, or home office - opens directly onto the 60 sq. ft. terrace with the peaceful, leafy ambience of East End Avenue just beyond. The Mediterranean-inspired bathroom is intricately tiled throughout and features a soaking tub and glass-enclosed shower. The bathroom boasts its own large window that streams natural light that beautifully accentuates the blue and white ceramic tiling. Located in the distinguished Riverview House, this boutique 1940s cooperative offers the ultimate in service and serenity. A recent renovation has refreshed the lobby and hallways, honoring the building's 1941 heritage with a quietly contemporary sensibility. Residents enjoy the attentive care of a 24-hour doorman, live-in super, and porter, along with access to a fitness center with Peloton, renovated laundry facilities, bicycle storage, and private storage. Set on a tranquil cul-de-sac just steps from the East River Promenade and the rolling hills of Carl Schurz Park, Riverview House warmly welcomes pets. Pied-à-terre ownership permitted. ...
