118 Riverside Drive, 7-A

Since the early 1990's there have been only a handful of apartments sold on Riverside Drive with river views and the baronial scale of this remarkable home. Facing The Hudson and Riverside Park, these eleven spacious and sun filled rooms offer four bedrooms,(with the possibility of five to six bedrooms), four bathrooms (originally four and one-half), 13 closets and two storage units which transfer with the property. In addition, there are two home offices and a separate laundry room. From the private elevator landing, one enters this beautifully arranged apartment through a large central foyer. Immediately, the Hudson River, treetops and the sky are in view. The 40 ft western expanse of the great room/kitchen, formal dining room and a home office is incontrovertibly intoxicating. The enormous kitchen is as large as a great chef could want with plenty of room for company. Expansive western and northern river views surround the formal dining room where French doors offer open space to the kitchen/great room, or privacy as the occasion requires. The grand scale living room and adjacent library are entered off the central foyer and separated by French doors allowing for both large and small gatherings. This is a home ideal for entertaining. The living room can easily accommodate a concert grand piano or two as well as an audience!The sunny and cheerful bedroom wing is located on the opposite side of the living room, where one enters a second central foyer. From here are the corner master bedroom with ensuite bathroom and sitting room as well as two spacious bedrooms and a full hall bathroom. In addition, a home office, laundry and storage room are located in this wing. The light in all rooms is excellent. 110-118 Riverside Drive is one of the West Side's most desirable addresses and well-run cooperatives. Residents and their guests enjoy an intimate, wood paneled lobby and are welcomed by uniformed staff. Built in 1929 and converted to cooperative in 1969, the building offers full-time doormen, playroom, fully equipped gym, deeded storage units, a live-in superintendent and impeccable service.
