11 Riverside Drive, 3-VWE

Bring your architect and create your own sprawling dream home in the heart of the West 70's. These two apartments are set back by over 70 feet from the West 74th Street sidewalk and face landscaped gardens and a dozen late 19th and early 20th century townhouses which are part of the West End Collegiate Historic District. This is a phenomenal opportunity to combine two quiet apartments with lovely views in Schwab House: a 2 Bedroom /1 Bath and the adjacent "Junior-four" 1 Bedroom /1 Bath with a separate windowed alcove. The current floor plan has 3 bedrooms and 2 living rooms. However, the combination can easily accommodate 4 bedrooms (2 bedrooms at either side of the living room/dining room of the apartment), a separate office and still have a large, open, windowed kitchen and a huge double living room/dining room loft-like entertaining space. The two alternate floor plans are sample illustrations that the combination itself is easy to accomplish by opening or removing the wall between the two side by side living rooms. Schwab House is a fully serviced cooperative building in the heart of one of the most highly desirable, vibrant, beautiful and historic residential neighborhoods in Manhattan. Located around the corner from Fairway, Citarella, Trader Joe's, The Beacon Theater and the #1, 2 & 3 subways, it is also across the street from Riverside Park with its playgrounds, bicycle paths, sports fields, dog runs and marina. Enjoy nights in the neighborhood, for in addition to restaurants galore, it is a very short distance to Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts and multiple cinemas. Enjoy the easy living here which includes on-site management and 24 hour: doormen, concierge, elevator operators, handymen and garage, plus a gym, playroom, two luxurious landscaped roof decks with fantastic views, bike room, dry cleaner, lending library & a newly renovated, air conditioned modern lobby. Pied-a-terre friendly, accessible and pets are permitted. Open houses are not permitted; however, this beautiful home is easily shown by appointment.
